Change The Man
Dont talk to me about ban the bomb
Dont talk to me about whos side Im on
Replace the system with one just the same
Dont you know that we are all to blame
Its so easy as an armchair blamer
Get off your seat and make a personal change sir
Cant change the system by smashing it down
Inside route personal revolution
Chorus
Change the man
Rip out the root
Lets get rid of this insanity
When the mothers had told the kids straight
When the fathers felt no more hate
When a man can walk down the street without fear
Then thing must change and its not too late

Tele Hes Not Talking
Tele hes the one he knows what to say
Knows how to find his own way
He knows the roads by night and by doorways
But watching the light in a hall
Wont change a thing or say at all
What it is that he says
Still he says that I dont know
Still he says that I dont know
I dont why I think about so much
When I dont know what it is I cant say
And I wouldnt change a thing if I believe you all
And scream it in your face
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
Tele deals the cards and draws an ace
And finds himself miles away
Where skies aint bruised by towers and fumes
Children aint too young to play
Would I change a thing
Id change it all
But were born different days
Still Id say hey I dont know
Still Id say hey I dont know
(repeat chorus)
Would I change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away
Would I change a thing
Id change it all but we were born on different days
Id change a thing
Id change it all when Im miles away...

Hate That Is Not Mine
I hate the way we live
I hate we have to die
I hate the way you want it to be all over
And suddenly change ur mind
I hate you want to hurt yourself
I hate you always cry
I hate I see myself somewhere deep inside your eyes
I hate that I can relate to you
I hate that you cant see
All the good things in your life
I hate you cant see me
I hate when I look in the mirror
Your the person looking back
I hate that every day seems like someone will attack
I hate that I am weak
I hate that you are hear
I hate that I can't change all the things I fear
I hate that I dont hate you
instead I hate myself
for im the one who can't even remember my true self
I hate I let you into my mind
I hate you let me stop living
I hate that I can't stand up to you and understand what im forgiving
I hate I dont talk to you
I hate its not like it use to be
I hate time that makes me change to what you want to see
I hate you couldnt tell this wasn't all my hate
I take your hate into myself and understand my fate
sometimes I dont understand the hate
and still I continue to see
all the hate deep down inside of you
is now inside of me.

Its Too Late To Change The Time
[intro]
Too late
Too late
Too late
[verse 1]
In this automatic age
We shop through the yellow page
Gone is the corner store
There is a supermarket there for you
People give way to change
But feelings remain the same
[chorus]
And its too late, too late to change the time
Well its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
[verse 2]
Its a new day, a new age
A photograph just taken, is ready one minute later
Cars are bigger and better
But the manufacturers sastified never
In a world full of crime
I cant let you think thats right
[chorus]
And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
No, no
[bridge 1]
So you wanna be a star (so you wanna be a star)
You are who you think you are (ah think you are)
You dont have to go further
Than my loving arms
[chorus half]
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
[bridge 2]
Are you sure you wanna go to new york city (new york city)
Where girls make it big if theyre pretty (if they pretty)
Let say you get that penthouse view
But whos gonna love you the way I do (just the way I do)
[chorus]
Its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time, no
Too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[chorus]
Its too late, too late to change the time
Its too late, too late to change the time
Ooh, too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Peace How To Show It
people write and sing about it
but they make no sense of it
their lyrics are just saying it
they want it but are not specific
and the things they say is not realistic
they dont say how to change they just say it
they dont say or how to show it
how are we expected to know it
they talk of ending war but which one
and what side are we on
they dont answer any of these questions
they dont even give any mentions
of making a revolution what war how to change
how all are minds should be rearanged
to make a beter world for all of us
that we want to change not just because
we feel like the world to change what does grafiting a wall
have to do with change
what does one world is all
we got have to do with change
change is stop buying drugs that hurt my brothers and their economy
and maybe the sons and daughters will live in a better city
and not have the worirry of dying today
because of bullet batlle's hapend evreyday
because of compititon happening in the united states
and because of this all our city has high death rates
andnobody wants to come to their little town
because the worry of getting shot is going around
this is how a war can be rearanged
and this is how you can show change

Dont Ever Change
You never wear a suit of lace,
The powders not on your face.
Youre always wearing jeans
Except on sunday.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
I kind of like you
Just the way you are.
You dont know the latest dance,
But when its time to make romance
Your kisses let me know
Youre not a tomboy.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
Promise youre always gonna be
As sweet as you are.
I love you when youre happy,
I love you when youre blue.
I love you when youre mad at me,
So how can I get tired of you?
A lots of other girls Ive seen,
They know how to treat guys mean.
But you would rather die
Than ever hurt me.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
Just promise youre always gonna be
As sweet as you are.
Please dont ever change,
Dont you ever change.
Please dont ever change,
Dont you ever change.

Im standing here on the ground
The sky above wont fall down
See no evil, in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Dont change for you
Dont change a thing

Hear no evil, in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

Leave Well Enough Alone
Writers: tom snow & kerry chater
Little girl have your fun
Take it easy
Just dont jump the gun
You dont have to try so hard
You will always be my number one
You got me in your bed of roses
Please dont change the boy
cause havin you around heaven knows
Is somethin I enjoy
Leave well enough alone baby
Dont get too serious no
Leave well enough alone child
Dont go and change on us
Life wont be the same for us
Better leave it alone
I know youve got ideas
Monograms and sets of hers and his
I hate to have to break the spell
But let me tell you how it really is
You know I feel at home with you just the way we are
But go ahead and dream those dreams
But just dont carry them too far
Leave well enough alone baby
Dont get too serious no
Leave well neough alone child
Dont go and change on us
Life wont be the same for us
Better leave it alone
You know it feels so good with you just the way we are
But if you wanna dream those dreams baby
Dont carry them too far
Leave well enough alone child
I love you just the way we are
Leave well enough alone baby

Girl, youre my sunshine,
Take away the raindrops,
You make it all worthwhile,
Make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
Keep love flowin,

Honey, dont change on me,

Girl, youre my lucky star,
Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,

Where would I ever find
A-some kinda happiness and peace of mind.
I was lured by the darkness,
And then you came,
Bringin the sunshine,
Easin the pain.

Honey, dont change on me,
Dont change on me,

If theres a heaven,
Then this is my prayer,

I wanna know if we will meet there,
And there forever

In the sunshine,
No more stormy weather.
Well, I love ya just the way you are,

Dont you know that you can count me out?

Well, you know
Wed all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, youll have to wait

You say youll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me its the institution

You aint gonna make it with anyone anyhow

Dont Cry Ilene
He had his fathers eyes
And his mothers point of view
There was no disguise
He couldnt see through
Sometimes the little things
They dont seem so small
But they had a good thing overall
Chorus
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
Knew him the way you did
Its hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Dont cry ilene
There was a rainbow over here
He didnt see it from over there
Black and white are fine
But hes color blind
Watching over me
There must have been some kind of mystery
Because I wanted him too
But it was all wrong all wrong
Chorus
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
Knew him the way you did
Its hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Dont cry ilene
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
Knew him the way you did
Its hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Dont cry ilene no dont cry
Its hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Dont cry ilene oh no dont cry

Tonight
Who are you gonna run to,
Now your ass is on the line.
Who do you think youre foolin
We aint got the time.
Dont try to tell me,
Whos wrong or right.
Dont say that i
Theres no point in tryin to change it at all.
Tonight, tonight,
Lets leave it alone,
Leave it alone tonight,
We cant change it at all.
Forget the things I told you,
Lets just sleep on it for now.
Its your misunderstanding,
I dont wanna hear you out.
Two wrongs baby,
They dont make a right.
Its hardly worth the heartache,
Lets leave it alone, leave it alone.

Change Of Habit
(words & music by b. kaye - b. weisman)
If youre in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-comin
For these are changing days
And if your head is in the sand
While things are goin on
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
Now if youre in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who dont see eye to eye
And if you dont believe it
Theres a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit
A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, youll be all right
The halls of darkness
Have doors that open
Its never too late
To see the light
So if youre in the habit
Of putting people down
Just because theyre different
From the wrong side of town
Well, dont count on any medals son
Theyre pinning none on you
What you need, what you need,
What you need is a change of habit

Too Late
See the stop-light turn-in red,
Dont you listen to what its said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin hard inside.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Oo, yes, my friend, youre fadin fast, if you stay here you wont last.
Before your time has run astray, youve got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, its time to make the change, yes, its time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late, too late, to make the change
Too late to make the change
Too late, before its too late.

Too Personal
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal
Well you keep talking about love -
Well what do you want
We have fun alright - so what do you want
The idea of fate its all in the mind
We are the ones who control our own time
Look dont get me wrong
But if you keep on Im gonna go
Youre to to to too personal
Youre to to to too personal
You say everyones lonely and insecure
All because of living in hate and fear
Well if love is possession baby you better change
No ones gonna keep me in those chains
Look dont get me wrong
But if you keep on Im gonna go
Forget your personal problems
Think about somebody else
Im gonna think about them - right now

Dont Talk To Strangers
When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Dont talk to strange men, dont be a fool
Im hearing stories, I dont think thats cool
Why dont you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause youre my girl, some say its no longer true
Youre seeing some slick continental dude
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, dont talk
Now tell me, hows life in the big city
I hear the competitions tough, baby thats a pity
And every mans an actor, every girl is pretty
I dont like whats getting back to me
Now whos this, don juan Ive been hearing of
Love hurts when only ones in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
*fais lamour avec moi (*make love to me)
Whats he saying baby
*viens dormir, mon amour (*come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*je taime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*i like you to give me your heart this night)
Im begging you
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up

Fretless
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Hes got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldnt confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldnt admit to a minute of fun
(chorus 1)
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I dont hate him
And I dont hate her
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
(chorus 2)
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with a e-a-c
Dont threaten me with a gentle tease
Dont threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Dont try to tell me what I am

I wonder what its like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what its like to know that I made the rain
Id store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when im...done, when Im done
I wonder what its like to be a super hero
I wonder where Id go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, theyre stunned

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
