The 90's D
Give it back
Gifted stranger
Embrace the danger
I’m not the lone ranger
I’m just a white avenger
Don’t cross my path with no grin
Ill take away your purpose
In the name of sin-
Talking to my shadow
He don’t know more than me
He’s waiting for the vultures to set him free
Dancing with a junkie
Crying for his life
He’s lost his home his family and his life
Give me back my streets
Pusher go to hell
Give me back my streets give em back
I’m not resting till ya do
I’m not resting
God send us an Army
Armed with pain
Like The pain I’ve been feeling all these years
or could you send just one man
Like you did before
You know like in that book of yours
God come and recue me x4
Give it back x4
I want my home back
I want my streets back
I want my people back
I want it back
Let go my sisters
Let go my brother
Let go my soul
Just let go let it go

Head for the hills
You got to know when to run
You got to know when to hide
Suck it up don’t show the fear inside
Just head for the hills
There’s a twisted little mind in the valley that wants to take your kids
There’s a twisted little mind in the valley that wants to take you kids
Big brother chuckles
He’s got you finely tuned in
Force feeding you fake news
And you daily dose of sin
You could change the channel
But you haven’t got the mind
You could change the channel
But you haven’t got the mind
In the distance vultures circle
Above the road ahead
The voices in you head say run for dear life
It’s the beginning of the end
You got to run to the hills
Stay out of sight
Maybe if were quit well make it through the night
There’s a twisted little mind in the valley that want to take your kids
There’s a twisted little mind in the valley that wants to take your kids

Going solo
I see them
I see them
I see them come and come
I see them go
I say goodbye
I’m going solo solo
I see them
I see them
I see them cry cry cry
A broken arrow across the sky
They ask why
I just sigh
I say goodbye
I say goodbye
I’m going solo
I see them
I see them
I see them run and run
It used to be for fun
Now everybody under the gun
Its all for none and one for one
I say goodbye
I’m going solo solo
I hear them
I hear them
I hear them scream and scream
Liked trapped in a bad dream
Were nothing is quit peaches and cream
Caught up in the machine
I say goodbye
I’m going solo solo
I watch them
I watch them
I watch them fall and fall
No one answers their calls
The pile is ugly and tall
I say goodbye
I’m going solo solo
Living in the dream of the elite’s machine
It fuels itself on the poor
It doesn’t seem like the American dream
I don’t want to dream anymore

God is big business
I got a letter from an old friend
He says he’s found god again
He’s been in the phone book all this time
Dial 1 900 the holy hot line
My curiosity got the better of me
So, I dialed the number to see
a machine answered said leave a message after the beep
God always calls back on his little lost sheep
I know the TV is full of lies
God is big business in their eyes
Any fool with money to burn
Can get open a church
And take his turn
Dollar signs in the sky
God is big business
Jesus that ain’t no lie
Tell me have you ever wondered
Why there’s so many gods so many churches
Well isn’t that odd
All of god’s children
Under the same roof can’t decide on the ultimate truth
God is bigger than AT&T
Reach out and touch somebody
Lord have mercy
It’s a sign of the times cash is king
I want to laugh
When that evangelist sings
Dollars sign in the sky
A bigger piece of the pie
God is big business
Did you ever wonder why?
God is big business
Lord that’s no lie
ATM’s in church
Visa master card excepted here
Don’t leave home without it
The line forms in the rear
Big
Huge
Enormous
So big you can see it from the moon
Big big business
God is bigger than AT&T
Reach out and touch somebody
Lord have mercy
It’s a sign of the times cash is king
I want to laugh
When that evangelist sings
Dollars sign in the sky
A bigger piece of the pie
God is big business
Did you ever wonder why?
God is big business
Lord that’s no lie 1991
Hey that’s you
When you gonna live
When you gonna die
When you gonna laugh
When you gonna cry
Were ya going to go
Were you gonna stay?
Who you gonna beg?
When you gonna pray
You got no money
And you got no friends
It’s a roll of the dice
I guess it all depends
You got no future
And a hell of a past
Better take it out of here
Better get out fast
Where you gonna run
Where you gonna hide
Can’t run from yourself
Can’t run from the inside
Who ya gonna burn?
Who you gonna call?
Who pick you up next time you fall?
You’ve got no style
You’ve got no class
Your running out of time
You’re an empty glass
Your pathetic
So unreal
Is there nothing you wouldn’t steal?
When you gonna give
When you gonna get
Will you ever try
To repay your debts
When you gonna see the truth
When you gonna see the proof
When you gonna pay your due's
When you gonna get a clue
But hey that’s you
MWL 1993
Heaven help us
Round and round the world keep’s spinning
Its been out of control from the beginning
Lost souls who’d rather be sinning
Black morning the devil is grinning
Can’t fight what you can’t see
Heaven help us heaven help me
The sky is falling I do decree
Baby’s balling vultures wait in the trees
Mothers calling what now can it be
Heaven help us heaven help me
I see the old man inch to the corner
I see the young men run with fright
I hear the whispers of the lost and the lonely
Heaven help us heaven help us (tonight)
I hold the pain in the pit of my stomach
I’ve read the paper I’ve watched the news
I see the beggar he looks like me
Another dollar could set him free
Heaven help us heaven help me (tonight)
A crime wave like a tidal wave
An early gave does Jesus save?
Morals lost to the price of greed
Let them bleed the suicide seeds
The night is falling I do decree
Heaven help us heaven help me. (tonight)

Hitler’s Mother
Run little solider
Into mommy’s arm
She will protect you
From any harm
Close your eyes and dream tonight
Tomorrow ill be filled with such delight
Didn’t Hitler’s Mother know
Wasn’t there a sign
That her little boy would commit the darkest crimes
Were there any clues
Did he wet the bed?
Did he fall out of a tree and hit his head
Was Mr. Hitler home
Did he hit the boy?
Was there love birthdays filled with joy
Did he run
Did he have bad dreams
Did he sing was he ever on a team
What did you tell him about right and wrong?
Did he have friends did he ever belong
Was there a clue was there any sign?
That your little boy would commit the darkest crimes
Sleep little baby
Tears you will cry
When you grow up
So many will die
Mamma will be there
for your ever need
Inside of you grows
the wicked seed

High wire
You’ve got me dancing on a high wire
For you touch for your desire
Loves not a one-way street
You’ve got to give to get
You got to roll with the tide
You can’t be afraid to show what you feel inside
You’ve got me dancing on a high wire
Its along way down and there’s no one around to catch my fall
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
You know I love you all the little things you do
I wouldn’t change one memory
Of all the good times
I’ve had with you
Baby I’m a man
And I’ve got my pride
Don’t want you to come along just for the ride
Loves not a one-way street
You got to give to get you got to roll with the tide
You can’t be afraid to show what you feel on the inside
You got me dancing on a high wire for your touch for you desire
Its along way down and there’s no one around to catch my fall
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
Catch my fall
its along way down and there’s no one around to catch my fall

I want to be…
I want more of the good things
I want more of the bad
I wanna live like never before
I’m going to bust down every locked door
I wanna feel
I wanna see
I wanna taste
I wanna be
I wanna burn before I go
I want my turn I want to know
I lived my life to the fullest extent
And if I get old, I’ll have regrets
I wanna live like never before
I’m gonna bust down every locked door
I wanna ride
Into the sun
Live everyday like it’s the last one
I wanna burn before I go
I want my turn I wanna know
I lived my life to the fullest extent
And If I get old ill have no regrets

Wide open spaces
Give me wide open spaces
Undisturbed places
Mountains and pristine streams
Places no one has ever scene
Surround me with trees
Throw away the keys
That’s were ill be
Deep in the country
Toss my ids into the dump
Ill watch the clouds roll bye
Sitting on my stump
I won’t need no TV or phone
Cause I ain’t coming back
I’m making this my home
The rat race
Was getting out of hand
I was just a dog chasing his tail
Do you understand
Then one day I looked around at all my stuff
Seems like I could never have enough
God put me here
Not to punch a clock
He put me to enjoy life
on this magnificent rock
Toss my ids into the dump
Ill watch the clouds roll bye
Sitting on my stump
I won’t need no TV or phone
Cause I ain’t coming back
I’m making this my home
The rat race
Was getting out of hand
I was just a dog chasing his tail
Do you understand
Then one day I looked around at all my stuff
Seems like I could never have enough
God put me here
Not to punch a clock
He put me to enjoy life
on this magnificent rock
