Walk Away Joe

I don't wanna go there no more
I just want to go downtown
See the sights, relax and have some fun
I Can't change what has been done
What's in my mind I can't forget
Why do I feel like I'm so let down
Walk away , walk away, walk away, walk away , walk away Joe!
Make a big noise, there they go
A $30 ticket down to Mexico
The salt in the sea does burn my eyes
Time for me to change my disguise
The world its seems so run down
Time for me to get out of town.

Tonight's Low

Never fear Smith is here!
He wants to save the day!
But wave a dollar in front of his nose
and you know he'll run away!
Took my radio flyer out
Out on the road
Found it broke a mile later
Didn't do what I was told!
What I heard is tonight's low
The lowest of the day
How I wish I wish
Please push those clowns away!
He'll push you around and push you around
until you know it's too much
Got my things all set now
Let's push him out the door! How about that?
Here comes the robot
He warns of the danger!
He wants to destroy!
His logic keeps him in line
Until they take his power away.

Memo To Sain

Sain, insane!
Pitching Spahn and Sain.
No don't need that rain, we've had enough for now please turn it off.
The lake is full , the levee is gone.
What will it take to get some sandbags now?
Too much too little. Can we be well again?
Don't you cry Maggie. The waters' not too high.
Road is still good.
Pump works all night.
Water moves around . And takes it all away.

Plank

The paper that he wrote is not worth a cent.
The station that is built to keep up morale
With signs and things to make you look and feel safe.
Deep underground to back their political sound.
Rejoice in those souls you know, for one day they'll be gone.
Pity him that has no knowledge to give out.
Build a house and knock it down, only so much.
Something had to give today, from the news
To make one's place and time, it settles your mind.
Play a chord and throw it out, now's the time.
Through the dark and icy night we slog through.
Saw an old friend today, made me feel fine.
Exclusive rights and ultra shots especially for you

Leave Em' All !
02:19

I have nothing to foreclose
I have nothing but my oats
I have but just one cow.
I have but just one horse.
I have nothing left to give
I have nothing to repent.
Leave em' all! Let them go!
I have nothing for you now.
I have nothing in my bank
I have nothing for my food
I have nothing for my water
I have but just one life
I have but just one child
I have not any friends
I have not any trees
I have not any faith
I have not any car
I have not any home
I have not any life

A touch of reason, a touch of dissent
Do you want coffee with pie?
Can you imagine, what you see?
Will you drink a cup of tea with me?
The special today, you cannot afford.
Shall I dump this out for you?
It's passing us now, everyday
Focus on, baking the bread.
The milk is nearly gone.
A cup of sugar, to make it right
A million raging mini wars, inside of this cafe.
What they are all about, it's really hard to say.
The Devil is the head waiter.
And God's in the kitchen
But no one has to know.
For what was taught or ordered.

Skip the line of thought.
Push down the wall that will force you and me
To drive apart, to drive along that new fear you know, will never be, will never go, to tear up our hearts.
Tremble with the rage , to turn the page, of our troubled times, we had so well , we had to do to make it right, to make it good to make it all go away, pull that last long string to make it up, but there's no point to ever say that we're sorry for now, today.
Lord get me well to take me out of this self made hell we know it all and we know not what we do for the peace that we want we rip it up and throw it out for the good of us all and we state there's no point to ever say that we're really sorry, sorry for today!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord ( and give me all of your money!)

Star Skating

Soak the stars through the sky.
Leave the dust on the moon.
Objects change, the course of time
Please the rays of the sun.
I know not, that cosmic trail
Rings of Saturn? Rocks of ice.
Dim the lights , the black star
God does not, play the dice.
A shooting star to blaze the mind.
Throw it out and what a find!
Hopelessness won't kill the light
Your big smile makes it right

The Jolly Farmer

William Davies. Was a highwayman. And a farmer too.
He liked to rob from the rich.
He had a wife, and 18 children.
So he had to rob , rob from the rich
They finally caught him, one fine day
For robbing from the rich.
He was hung by a pub on the road. Cause he liked to rob, rob from the rich
The pub was called The Jolly Farmer. Now it's gone . A golf store's there, an American golf store.
It's gone
The Jolly Farmer . The Jolly Farmer
It's gone , it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.

I have made a terrible mistake. Such a trip to that lake.
Go now before it's too late. Go now, you know it's too late.
A wedding coat was in his plans. More than she could ever stand.
Go now she knows it's too late. Go now you know it's too late.
A certain fare, would have been fine. Now he went and crossed the line.
Go now, before it's too late. Go now you know it's too late.
A Cyrene creed is what they hold true. Pilate didn't know what to do.
Go now you know they are fake. Go now there's nothing at stake.
Problems exist we cannot resolve. Will humankind, someday evolve?
I hope it's never too late. I hope we escape our damn fate.
Skip through the line of ever true thought. Checking on time and what was bought.
I saw it never subsides. I saw they never choose sides.
