Scam
Written by jay kay, stuart zender and toby smith
You say you fight to give us freedom
But often more than not this is abused
And the faces of a tired generation
Have decided they are sick of being used
For the purpose of current declarations
Still the same, it will never change until the end
Is to buy the appreciation of the nation
To cover the mistakes you must defend
And you say there will be a chance for eveyone
To protest against your calculated greed
But I can see into the future
Wont be long before the welfare
Send me letters telling me how much they need
And its not been in my interest to please them
For the only interest rate to fall is mine
See a brand new generation is demanding
What youve been doing with our money all this time
Scam, people try to live at the speed of light
Scam, dont know why but Ive got to do the things I do
Scam, give me ten, thats the move I give you five
Scam, people say its the way to stay alive
So you see you have to be a schemer
If you wanna love the life you have to live
And I dont matter how much I earn
Cos I always get my fingers burned
When the man gets down to his business
And Ive been searching for a reason
Why I have to give it all up just I want to get ahead
See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home
Debts and threats on the phone
Maybe I should bust a move instead
Now we all know when we watch television
Not confused between a puppet or conviction
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom
It aint what it seems when its a single sided system
Someones got to hold on my living
So Im gonna have to do the thing thats fair
They got to justify for what I should be giving
Should I lie, should I steal or should I care
Cos now Ive got to scam!

Prescription: Love
I been wandering for quite a while
When it seems like love is all around
Seems when people cant get love
They substitute it with a bunch of drugs
If love was a drug that was real cheap
Everybody could get some sleep
I been wandering for quite a while
When it seems like love is all around
Seems when love dont get to far
They buy a real expensive car
If love was a car that was real cheap
Everybody would drive a jeep
Lets give love the marketing scam
Lets give love the marketing scam
Make it something they can understand
Lets give love the marketing scam
Lets give love the marketing scam
And get on with it
Ive been wandering for quite a while
When it seems like love is all around
Seems when people dont have nobody
They spend their time makin lots of money
If love was money and it was cheap
Everybody could get some sleep

Beware The Scam
Beware the scam my friends
Beware the scam
The one where you are
Asked 'support an orphanage'
Even through the medium
Of poetry beware the scam
There are ways and means these days
To ignite a sham
We have to learn to reap
Reap what we sow
Not expect handouts
From anyone although
Temptation prays at
Heaven's golden page
Beware the scam my friends
Hold still your gaze

Walk Your Way
(m&l - grosskopf)
I see black, I see white
I see the darkness and the light
Life goes up, life goes down
I am the hero and the clown
(I live it up) - yeah
(wont give it up)
I want it all dont wanna fall
(I live it up - wont give it up)
(I want it all dont wanna fall)
Im pretty sure there must be something worth living for
(walk your way) dont let them tear you apart
(walk your way) dont let them change you
You are here to live and what you take youve got to give
(walk your way) its just a satellite* from your heart
(walk your way) sometimes it strange though
Life is such a game, dont give it up
Cuz it will never be the same
Im smoking, Im soaking
Till there is nothing left to lose
Shit stinks and really smells bad
Step into it - makes you upset
(I live it up) - oh yeah
(wont give it up)
I want it all dont wanna fall, yeah!
(I live it up) - oh yeah
(wont give it up)
(I want it all dont wanna fall)
Im pretty sure there must be something worth living for
(walk your way) dont let them tear you apart
(walk your way) dont let them change you
You are here to live and what you take youve got to give
(walk your way) its just a satellite* from your heart
(walk your way) sometimes it strange though
Life is such a game, dont give it up
Cuz it will never be the same
(whoa oh oh oh oh) yeah
(whoa oh oh oh oh) so many different things are waiting to be done
(whoa oh oh oh oh) (whoa oh oh oh oh)
(whoa oh oh oh oh) so many things but you can put your ears into the sun*
(whoa oh oh oh oh) hey (whoa oh oh oh oh)
(whoa oh oh oh oh) just take your time and you will never be too late
(whoa oh oh oh oh) (whoa oh oh oh oh)
(whoa oh oh oh oh) just take your time dont try to change your fate
(walk your way) dont let them tear you apart
(walk your way) dont let them change you
You are here to live and what you take youve got to give
(walk your way) its just a satellite from your heart
(walk your way) sometimes it strange though
Life is such a game, dont give it up
Cuz it will never be the same

Nigerians
In Nigeria oh the constant sadness it brings
scam after scam
oh how they love wealthy American men and women
oh how dark desires brings so much dismay.
with a photograph and the perfect speech
they fall one by one hook line and sinker
in only a couple days
oh they preach
tho are the poor Nigerians
the men behind the women's mask
faceless is the task
money is what binds them to you
with words like glue
their plans fall through
I'm sorry but you have just been screwed
And you might ask by who
oh tho are the poor Nigerians
~ Don't believe all are this way because of one.
Any prejudice can be undone.

Im so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For Ive been a temptress too long
Just. .
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
Were all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman
So dont you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
Its all I wanna be is all woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.

Aint No Particular Way
(here it comes
Mmm, the thing about love)
Love has a way to find ya
Sneaks up right behind ya
There aint no particular way
You dont know when its gonna
Come runnin round the corner

So, dont give up (dont give up
On love till you get your share)--
Youre gonn get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
Love is its)--is that its everywhere

There aint no law it wont break

There aint no chance it wont take
There aint no, no particular way
Oh, it could come so fast it fools ya
Might take its time to move ya
There aint no particular way
It might just drift in while youre dreaming
It dont sleep, always schemin
There aint no particular way
So, dont give up (dont give up
On love til you get your share)--
Youre gonna get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
Love is its)--is that its everywhere

You cant hide, oh

When you thought youd been rejected

Love aint for just the lucky
(there aint no when)
Its there for everybody
(there ain no what)
There aint no particular way
(there aint no way)
So, dont give up (dont give up
On love til you get your share)--
Youre gonna get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
Love is its)--is that its everywhere

(Political Poem) Baking Cookies
Personally I prefer to bake my own.
Then rely on a system so corrupt.
I honestly and truthfully believe in hard work.
No matter how many crooks stand over me waiting to steal from my jar as well.
It is disappointing and makes me angry at times.
The crimes that we commit for things we don't even need.
An overindulgence in gluttony.
But it comes down to this.
They need us more then we need them.
No matter the monetary system created.
No matter the thievery so jaded.
It is still not really that complicated.
Even as their are those who act like it is.
Just so they can receive one more handout before they have to go.
Just one last scam.
Come on man.
I say no.
Not this time.
Collapse the system go ahead.
And forgive me if I start laughing at you.
Even with all your threats I know.
For you rely on it more the I do.

Hearts On Fire
1991. released as b-side of jesus he knows me single, 1992.
In life there are those decisions
Which direction you should take
Its only later that you realize
All those simple mistakes you make
I dont like being alone
Dont wanna be by myself
But since youve gone thats all I can think of
I cant think of nothing else
Oh, I said Im sorry, soon I give it up
You know Im sorry, soon I give it up
You know Im sorry, soon I give it up
Cos my hearts on fire
My hearts on fire
Woh can you take me there
Oh, come back and take me there
Cos I need to be with you
Be there with you
Yes there is no denying
Our love is not untrue
I know Ive lied so many times before
But deep down theres only you
I need you here by my side
Together our love could grow
But first you have to believe that I want you
More than youll ever know
Woh, I said Im sorry and I give it up (give it up)
You know Im sorry, soon I give it up (give it up)
You know Im sorry, soon I give it up (give it up)
Cos my hearts on fire
My hearts on fire
Woh can you take me there
Oh, come back and take me there
Cos I need to be with you
Be there with you
(give it up, give it up, give it up...)
With it we take our chances
What will be will be
But I dont care what the people may think
Just as long as youre here with me
Dont like being alone
Dont wanna be by myself
And since youve gone, well thats all I can think of
I cant think of nothing else
Woh, I said Im sorry and I give it up (give it up)
You know Im sorry soon I give it up (give it up)
You know Im sorry soon I give it up
Cos my hearts on fire
My hearts on fire
Woh can you take me there
Oh, come back and take me there
Cos I need to be with you
Be there with you
You, be there with you
Hearts on fire
Hearts on fire
Hearts on fire
My hearts on fire
Hearts on fire, hearts on fire...

Political Upheaval
A man on a mission
Our we even listening
Can we hear our children screaming
Can we hear the bombs bursting across this great ocean
How do we show devotion
In such a crazy commotion
Write letters
Make poster boards
March and throw smoke grenades across Pennsylvania avenue
Demand the government listens to its people
Its a harsh reality
No one said this gonna be fun or easy
But in the end maybe we would feel a little better
About yourself and other
We our the people
We run the show
No matter if the politician says so
His propaganda just makes me sick
Its just another ponsey scam
Another bad dream
Feeling so ripped off
Losing all our jobs
For the illegal immigrant who just came here
A working visa
Its time to relieve us
We will become the four horseman of death
At this rate
Keep it up and it will crumble
If you go to far to the left or right
There has to be a guiding light
The darkness comes before the twightlight
A sniper looking down his gun through his sight
Waiting for the green light
Getting paid to stay out of it
It a fight against the enemy with in
Give credit to some hick
Hey he's a confederate
So southern
Theirs definitely a division
A society blind with no vision
Attack each other because of simple differences
That really mean nothing to the average American
We are really all just trying to make a living

I Believe
Michael Kiske)
Give me two strong arms to fight my enemies
Give me two strong eyes to see the truth
Give me two strong legs I think I have to run
And fill my heart with faith that I wont lose
I dont wanna lose
Give me one real love that I dont freeze out there
Make me feel your presence in the night
Give me one strong heart that tells me when I lie
And take my soul so I wont have to hide
I dont wanna hide
Its so cold deep down here
I know we had to fall
Souls are dying everywhere
But whatever I do I believe ...
(Solo)
Therell be no reason to live
Without you giving me light
There is so much that you give
Your love is shining so bright
I believe...
I wanna love but I always hate
I wanna give but I always take
Wont you to laugh but I make youc ry
Maybe I wont change until I die
Its so much easier said than done
I know I cant just always run
Got so much anger inside of me
I understand but I think I see what Im not
I know its true what J.C. said
I got it all clear in my head
Seems we were born to be unfair
I am a sinner thats starting to dare to believe
Give me your hand until the end
And I will walk into the promised land
I dont deserve anything you do
But I cant stop loving you
No more lies, no false religions
No more whys and wrong God missions
No shiny T.V. priests begging for cash
No more wars that no Gods ever asked for
Theres a way back out of here
One day were goin home
Tell everyone who wants to hear : Whatever you do :
Do believe, I believe, we believe, believe oh

Theres No Way
[intro]
Ooh, ooh, no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Said theres nothing I can do
Cuz you cant seem to get it through your head
That I really love you
Stop playing more, you know I do
I feel you
What does it take to make you see
Im right here for you
What do I have to say
Baby, will you listen to me
Theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Every other night
After we tell each other were in love
We seem to start a fight
Listen to me Im tired of being bothered
I dont mean to put you down
But my options are running out
I dont mean to cut you off
But we need to have a talk
Cuz theres no way
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me
Theres no way
I can give you what you need
If you cant give it back to me
Baby can you tell me why we have to fight
(I would rather not hurt you)
I just want everything to be alright
(whats the matter with me loving you? )
I just wanna live for you
The way you wanna live for me
I want every little thing
All the little things to be
Just the way they used to be
Oh tell me
Theres no way
I can love you like you need
If you cant say you love me

If you cant give it back to me

Missed You
(stewart)
Hey pal, let me lean on you and talk awhile
Your planes been delayed by the rain
Or something
I wouldnt even fly away
If I had one good reason to stay
But you said
If you dont need my love
Im gonna find someone who does
And Im not hanging around
This old heart is far to proud
She got tired of me
Staying out late everynight
Id fall up the stair
Thought shed always be there
But suddenly Im alone
And Im not accustomed to sleeping alone
She said if you dont need my love
Im gonna find someone who does
Youve stripped me of everything
And youve torn down all my dreams
Its been two long weeks
Since shes been gone
Thought I had her in the palm of my hands
She said Im through, dont try to call me
Cause you wont even find me
Cause if you dont need my love
Im going to find someone who does
And the heartache youve give me
Youll get it back just wait and see
Well, well, well, well
Id give anything to hold her in my bed again
I just wanna feel her breath on my back
She said my blood cant give her love
No way
She said if you dont need my love
Im gonna find someone who does
And Im gonna take our child
Cause I dont want him running wild
Hey pal, I think they just called out your flight
Put down your glass dont forget your boarding pass
And if your looking or you found love
Or sunshine thats enough
Dont play hard to get
Cause that aint where its at
Give her all your love
Place her high above
I missed you baby
I missed you baby
Yea I missed

Im Gonna Crawl
(jones/page/plant)
Oh shes my baby, let me tell you why
Hey, she drives me crazy, shes the apple of my eye
cause she is my girl, and she can never do wrong
If I dream too much at night, somebody please bring me down
Hey, I love that little lady, I got to be her fool
Aint no other like my baby, I can break the golden rule
cause I get down on my knees, oh, I pray that love wont die
And if I always try to please, I dont know the reason why, yeah
If she would come back, only stay with me
Every little bit of my love, etc., I give to you girl
I dont have to go by plane
I aint gotta go by car
I dont care just where my darling is
People I just dont care how far
Im gonna crawl
I dont care if I got to go back home
I dont care what I got to stand to her back
Im gonna crawl
Im gonna move the car, baby
She give me good lovin
Yes I love her, I guess I love her
Im gonna crawl.
