Get Up Off Our Knees
Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets
Dont wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
Dont shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
Time to end the praying
Listen what theyre saying
Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your fingers sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more
Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
Theres no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray
Time to end the praying
Listen what theyre saying
Get up off your knees
You can wag your finger till your fingers sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more
Countries will be countries, borders will be borders
Some have lost their folks at war, some have give orders
Dont wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
Dont shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
Time to end the praying
Listen what theyre saying

Wait Until Tomorrow
Well, Im standing here, freezing, inside your golden garden
Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall
Tonights the night we planned to run away together
Come on dolly mae, theres no time to stall
But now youre telling me...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Hey, yeah, hey
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Girl, what chu talkin bout ?
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to make sure its right, so until tomorrow, goodnight.
Oh, what a drag.
Oh, dolly mae, how can you hang me up this way ?
Oh, on the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now Im standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed mind of you
And you keep tellin me that ah...
I think we better wait till tomorrow
What are you talkin bout ?
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
No, cant wait that long
(I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Oh, no
Got to make sure its right, until tomorrow, goodnight, oh.
Lets see if I can talk to this girl a little bit here...
Ow ! dolly mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree ?
Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say, as I fade away...
We dont have to wait till tomorrow
Hey !
We dont have to wait till tomorrow
What you say ?
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
It must have been right, so forever, goodnight, listen at cha.
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Ah ! do I have to wait ? dont have to wait
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Its a drag on my part
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow) dont have to wait, uh, hmm ! ah, no !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Dont have to wait, dont have to wait, yeah !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Dont have to wait, dont have to wait
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Oh, oh
I wont be around tomorrow, yeah !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Dont have to wait
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Goodbye, bye bye !
(we dont have to wait till tomorrow)
Oh, what a mix up
Oh, you gotta be crazy, hey, ow!
Dont have to wait till tomorrow.

If The Lights Go Out
(batt)
They say the world must end somehow
They say the ends not far from now
I think theyre wrong
Dont worry your life away
Start living for today
Dont think about tomorrow
And if the lights go out
On all of us
In just a year or two
And if the sky falls down
Like pouring rain
Then Ill be here with you
Ill go down with you
Well Im gonna try
For all Im worth
To stay with you till the ends of the earth
Dont let me down
Dont let your feelings win
Dont give out and dont give in
Dont think about tomorrow

Tomorrow
Tomorrow it is
Tomorrow we will
See where the roads they lead
Tomorrow's my dream
Tomorrow's the better me
Tomorrow never may be
Looking inside tomorrow's head
Tomorrow pretends to be brain dead
Tomorrow wants me to long for him
I spend today seeing tomorrow's beam
Tomorrow is there
Yesterday's tomorrow is here
Yet tomorrow I seek
My lamp's got enough oil and wick
Tomorrow where are you?
I've seen today but I look out for tomorrow's dew
Not today, I'll take care of that tomorrow
Tomorrow I'm here, tomorrow you're today
From 5years old, I'm 50years old one more day
The hour-glass spins and sands they turn
The clock it ticks, the second-hand warns
Tomorrow is today gone
What have you done? .

Theyre So Tough
Theyre so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
till we feel no good at all
Then they tell us that were stupid
That we got no sense at all
Theyll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, I dont believe it has to be this way
Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But ive stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And I aint gonna do it again
Theyd like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
Im not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
I cant really speak to you
And I dont know about them
They must be out of their minds
Cant read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun dont shine
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
Theyre so tough
They are so tough

If I Were You
The tenth of may
It seems so far away
When you and I were strangers moving close together
Sometimes it seems
Its almost like a dream
Driving across the country and the road is endless
If I were you
Dont wait until tomorrow
Id lead and wouldnt follow
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
The first of june
The summer came too soon
But from the day we met I knew youd never go away
Sometimes I feel
The passions not so real
Finding it strange to be together, not alone
If I were you
Id smile and close the door
Id never ask for more
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
Fourth of july
With an independent sigh
I think the times arrived to take whats going to happen
Wise men may say
Its easier to stay
But if you are there Im only wasting time
If I were you
I know Id want to hurt me
It wouldnt disconcert me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Id leave if I were you

Tomorrow
Oh, baby, dont let me down tomorrow,
Holding hands we both abandon sorrow,
Oh, for a chance to get away tomorrow.
Hey, babys got a lazy dday on sunday,
Heres a pound, we hang aroundtil monday,
Oh, baby dont you let me down on sunday.
Bring a bag of bread and cheese and find a shady spot beneath the trees.
Catch abreath of country air and run your pretty fingers thro my hair.
Tomorrow, when we both abandon sorrow.
Oh, baby, dont you let me down tomorrow,
Thro the week we beg and steal and borrow.
Oh, for a chance to get away tomorrow.
Honey, pray for sunny skies so I can speak to rainbows in your eyes.
Lets just hope the weather man is feeling fine and doesnt spoil our plan.
Tomorrow, when we both abandon sorrow.
Oh, baby, dont you let me down tomorrow,
Holding hands we both abandon sorrow.
Oh, baby, dont let me down tomorrow.
Oh, for a chance to get away tomorrow.
Baby, dont let me down tomorrow,
Baby, dont let me down tomorrow.
Oh, dont let me down,
Baby, dont let me down tomorrow.
Babys, dont let, let me down tomorrow,
Baby, dont let me down tomorrow.

Walk Out In The Rain
By bob dylan and helena springs
Walk out if it doesnt feel right,
I can tell youre only lying.
If youve got something better tonight
Then dont mess up my mind with your crying.
Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you dont feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.
I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger.
If youve said all that youve got to say
Then please dont feel the need to linger.
Chorus
Its raining outside of the city;
My poor feet have walked till theyre sore.
If you dont want my love, its a pity.
I guess I cant see you no more.

Moving Target
I dont wanna spend the rest of my life living for the night
I dont wanna spend the rest of my time hiding when I know Im right
Dont wanna wake up in a cold sweat praying for the day to come
Dont wanna chase my tail until my legs are old and gone
(chorus)
Im like a target always on the run
A moving target while the day is long
No need to shoot me down my time will come
It wont be long - it wont be long
I dont wann spend the rest of my life
Like a story from a book
I dont wanna be afraid
When people start to look
I dont wanna have to say
That Id rather be alone
I dont wanna have to change so much
Im someone I dont know

Sky Takes The Soul
It could be tomorrow, or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul
The earth takes the clay
I sometimes wonder why I pray
When my spirit drives away
With a faith and a bit of luck
And a half-tonne bomb in the back of a truck
Feel the towel its wet with sorrow
From the tears well shed tomorrow
Dont bring flowers, take a chance
On some graves you should dance
It its tomorrow, or if its today
I dont say it will be, I just say it may
When Im on my knees
To the gates Ill stumble
And plead my case
In a style thats humble.

Who To Listen To
Dont take a ride from a stranger,
No way to know where they go.
You may be left on a long dark road,
Lost and alone.
Dont you recall what your mama told?
Youve got to learn hot from cold.
When youre afraid that you might get burned,
Where do you turn?
Youve got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
Youve gotta know who to, (ooooh....)
Who not to listen to.
Well, you know, theyre gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.
(who to listen to.)
How can you learn what is true and just?
How to know who to trust?
Here comes a man with a scam to sell.
How can you tell?
Youve gotta know theres a bigger plan,
Room to fall, room to stand.
Pray for the plan to begin in you;
Keep your heart true.
Youve got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
Youve gotta know who to,

Everyone will have their words to say....
Find the word to help you find your way....

Youve got to know who to, (who to)

Youve gotta know who to,

Theyre gonna hit you from all sides, (theyre gonna hit!)

Remember Yesterday
Can you tell me why
It seems so hard to carry on
When you hear a voice
From long ago, so bittersweet
Even though I try, I can not
Read between the lines
You know I tried,
Oh, yes, I tried, whats wrong
Too late to turn back time
To look over my shoulder
Maybe one day ill return again
Remember yesterday
And think about tomorrow
But you have to live today
Oh, lonely yesterday
Dont leave me with the sorrow
Cause I have to live today
Every morning I awake
To see the newborn day
To carry on the flame
Until the end of time
Too late to turn back time
To look over my shoulder
Maybe one day ill return again
Remember yesterday
And think about tomorrow
But you have to live today
Oh, lonely yesterday
Dont leave me with the sorrow
Cause I have to live today
Oh, oh, oh, dont you step aside
And pretend about the future
Oh, oh, oh, never live a lie
Dont you know tomorrow never comes
Remember yesterday
And think about tomorrow
But you have to live today
Oh, lonely yesterday
Dont leave me with the sorrow
Cause I have to live today
Oh, oh, oh, dont you step aside
And pretend about the future
Oh, oh, oh, never live a lie
Dont you know tomorrow never comes

Spoken:
People say they care, but when it come down to it
Do they have what Im singing for
Lets sing it for
Sincerity
Sincerity
People, rushin round in their lonely lives
Theyd like to care for others, but frankly,
They dont have the time
cause theyre always doin the things
They have to do so theyll be alright
Their always lookin out for their own side
People think theyve got priorities right
Chorus:
Sincerity
The road we need to travel for a better way of life
Sincerity
An attitude we need to take if we want to survive
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Heartaches, everybody now and then
Theyre cryin out for others,
To listen to them like a friend
But were always sayin we dont have the time
But we really sympathize, maybe another time
Dont think about tomorrow
Do it while youve got the chance
Chorus
Come on give me (come on) sincerity

But were always sayin we dont have the time

turn around, see someone I've never seen
and I smile, _______ until this __ make me
and say
I'm gonna wait till tomorrow
or maybe today
I'll take it anyway
gotta take it down everyday and I'm
gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
cause today I'm not afraid to take
my time
I don't know what it's like to make up the rules
too many times you can fall till you get a clue
say your goodbye
take no keys to the past
and I try to hold on to see how long it will last
and say
I'm gonna wait till tomorrow
or maybe today
I'll take it anyway
gotta take it down everyday and I'm
gonna be fine
I'll take it anyway
cause today I'm not afraid to take
my time
forget your problems
pick up the pace
just turn up the radio
and drive away
I'll take it anyway
gotta take it down everyday and
I will take it anyway
cause today I'm not afraid to take
my time
my time

And it types to a waiting world,

Fathers world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to

Well sweet 16 aint she peachy keen,

Ill shoot it all down
And all the playings stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
The lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see (no reasons)
cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh
And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
And nobodys gonna go to school today

He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)

But you dont have a mind of your own
Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe
You can work, you can stitch, you can sew
But youre brainwashed
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees

Yeah, youre conditioned to be

And be happy to be where you are
Yes you are
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees

Are dirty rats
For making you what you are
Theyre up there and you re down here
Youre on the ground and theyre up with the stars
All your life theyve kicked you around and pushed you around
Till you cant take any more
To them youre just a speck of dirt
But you dont want to get up off the floor
Mister youre just brainwashed
They give you social security
Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity

Aint It Just Like You
Girl your bags are packed
And you aint coming back is written on them
Take these memories with you
Theyre just sad, and theyre blue and I dont want them
Oh youre not so sure that youre in love anymore
And I aint gonna beg you to stay
Aint it just like you to leave
Aint it just like me to let you walk away
I hold a tender place in my heart for you and you know it
Ive never said it out loud
Guess I was too proud to ever show it
We always thought some night that we might get it right
But that aint going to happen today
Aint it just like you to leave
Aint it just like me to let you walk away
Honey you must think my heart is a revolving door
The way you come and go as you please
I dont know if I should give up or try
Or get down on my knees
Aint it just like me to pray
Aint it just like you to turn and walk away
Here you are at my door
Youre wanting in, youre wanting more and its open
You win me over with that grin
So I let you on in, and Im hopin
That this time you might stay forever
But baby that just aint your style
Aint it just like you to smile
Aint it just like me to let you stay awhile
Oh you must think my heart is a revolving door
The way you come and go as you please
And I dont know if I should give up or try
Or get down on my knees
Aint it just like me to pray
Aint it just like you to make me feel this way
Aint it just like you to smile
Aint it just like me to let you stay awhile

And you aint coming back is written on them
