Some People Are More Equal Than Others

Some feast in paradise
While most of us exist on fallen crumbs
That fall from tables
Ladened with the things that we can't over come
And while the power men
Decide the things we think we thought ourselves
They rub their hands in glee
They're comfortable
Cause most can't help them selves
Don't tell me ignorance is bliss
That's just for fools and I say...

Some people are more equal than others
Some lives are better off in the gutter
Some people are more equal than others
Some people are Some people are
I've seen the third world babies
Dying in a land that's far away
But some how my own problems ease my conscience
'Till their faces fade
I'm pompous in denial of the truth that stares me in the face
But is it civilised
To watch the slaughter of another race?
Don't tell me
We shall overcome
I don't believe what you say
Some people are more equal than others
Some lives are better off in the gutter
Some people are more equal than others
Some people are Some people are
Don't tell me ignorance is bliss
That's just for fools and I say...

Some people are more equal than others
Some lives are better off in the gutter
Some people are more equal than others
Some people are Some people are

Better Off Without Me

I cause you pain
So I can't remain
You're probably better off without me here
Don't look so sad
'Cause it aint that bad
You're probably better off without me near

Well I hope you know
That I've got to go
Cause I'm not the man for you this time around
This time around
And though you hurt
And feel the fear
You're probably better off without me here

I wish you well
And I hope you find
Another heart that beats the same as yours
We had some fun
But now it's done
But it's always hard to turn and close the door

I'll be your friend right to the end
But I'm always trying to defend myself
Every time that we talk
And though you hurt
And feel the fear
You're probably better off without me here

You'll be better, better
You're probably better off without me here

You'll be better, better
You're probably better off without me here

Slipping Through Your Fingers

Infection starts
With a virus on a splinter
Then you're
To far gone for thoughts of fear to enter
You say you're not my enemy
But I don't want your sympathy
So what you say we let it go
Every time you put on me your sensual reality
It's hard for me to tell you no

There is no doubt
I'm inside and out
I never could resist
Your serpentinal kiss

So
I'll be slipping through your fingers
Now that something's come between us
I'll be slipping through your fingers I'll be...
I'll be slipping through your fingers
Now that something's come between us
I'll be slipping through your fingers

My fate was sealed
Like hot wax on the paper
My thoughts congealed In a downward spiral taper
I 've got to make my mark
While I'm fumbling in the dark
But the surface of my mouth is dry
But the echo's in my head
Contradict the things I've said
At a price of something money can't buy

I know I'll be back
Down this beaten track
I cannot seem to find
Any peace of mind

So
I'll be slipping through your fingers
Now that something's come between us
I'll be slipping through your fingers I'll be...
I'll be slipping through your fingers
Now that something's come between us
I'll be slipping through your fingers

Haven't Got The Strength

One road,
I've driven half the night
And now it's nearly light
I feel wide awake yet weary
One chance
For me to make the grade
Until that ghost is laid
But I question why I want it

There's something lurking
Deep inside of me
The rotting fruit of my family tree
When it gets too much to bear
When I'm naked cold and bare
And all hope and self-respect is gone
And I haven't got the strength to carry on

One life
Is such a precious thing?
I wasn't born to sing
I was simply born on Monday
One day
I might take your advice
And wouldn't that be nice
Two point four kids
Home on Sunday

There's more to me than meets the eye
And no, I'm not afraid to cry
I'll bare my soul to you
If you really want me to
Cause what's the difference when you're gone
And you haven't got the strength to carry...

I didn't choose to be
The man that I call me
It's nice to meet you now
To meet you now
But I might choose to escape
And make a dash for freedoms sake
But I'd only lay my guilt before you
And that's something that I wont make you go through

You plainly want me to admit my fears
Collapse on you in floods of tears
Then you can put me right
You stroke my hair at night
That's not the kind of help I need
Cause you haven't got the strength to let me bleed


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wind Blows Hard

Please remember when you leave
To shut the door
I can feel a breeze
Growing more
Feel the chill
Around me now
Covering
Everything I touch is cold
Like the ice
Burning me
Opening my skin
Feel the breeze
It's growing more
Hurting me

I'm not the only one who knows the truth
Can you hear it coming?
It's along way off but closing fast
Better batten down the hatches
'Cause the eye will pass

Wind blows hard
Wind blows cold
Cut me into two
Drives a blade into my soul
If you ask me what it is
I'll tell you I don't know
The light is always out when the wind blows cold

Remember when you leave
To turn the key
So I can't be touched
By what I see
Here it comes
It's creeping up
So silently
Tapping on the glass
Whispering
So terribly
Telling tales of dread
Can't you hear it now?
It's growing more
Touching me

I'm not the only one who knows the truth
Can you hear it coming?
It's along way off but closing fast
Better batten down the hatches
'Cause the eye will pass

Wind blows hard
Wind blows cold
Cut me into two
Drives a blade into my soul
If you ask me what it is
I'll tell you I don't know
The light is always out when the wind blows cold

All Heal In Time

Don't cover yourself deep in sorrow
Don't look for the bad things in life
The sun will still shine here tomorrow
And it will all heal in time

When the darkness descends
On your window
When the heartache is too much to bear
Choose not melancholy to follow
And it will all heal I swear

All heal
All heal
It will all heal in time
All heal
All heal
It will all heal in time

When the depths of your problems seem endless
And the bottom is no where to see
Hold on to good thoughts if you've got them
And it will all heal you'll see

Well it's no good returning
To problems gone by
Just to wallow so deeply
Just to self satisfy
Do the lines on your face
Occupy pride of place
You would see if you opened your eyes
Cause the sun will still shine here tomorrow
And it will all heal in time


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Won't Be With You

I'm on my way,
I won't be back again this way
It's so absurd
I will not take your spiteful words
I've tried to explain
I've compromised a thousand ways
But still you don't see
How a real friendship's meant to be

I won't be with you when your world comes crashing in
I won't be with you when you need a helping hand
And this betrayal proves to me that you are not my friend
I hope you hear me when I say that
I won't be with you

My bleeding hands
Cut by the blade of secret plans
Tell me, how do you sleep?
Do you shut it out or do you creep

I won't be with you when the wolves are at your door
The way you held my favour just won't work for you any more
Those ties we had are severed and lie bleeding on the floor
So just remember when you need me
I won't be with you

I wont be with you in the blinking of an eye
I won't be with you as the days tick slowly by
I wont be with you and I hope you realise
That when the darkness closes in
I won't be with you I won't be with you
When you need a helping hand
I won't be with you I'll desert you where you stand
I won't be with you
Hope we never meet again
So just remember when you need me
I won't be with you

I've broken my back
Bending so far my spine has cracked
So I'll let you scream
Leave you alone to hatch your scheme.

Save Me From My Self

I spend my life in a vacuum
Head in the clouds
And a voice in the bathroom
Scared about the world pout side
So I lock myself away yeah
Cause I know that they never play fair yeah
I never really read the signs
Read the signs

I can't stop shaking
This world is gonna break in
My life is on a landslide

Won't somebody save me?
Save me from myself
I'm in need of some one else's help
Won't you save me?
Save from myself
Love is all I need

Well I can't say that I am looking
For a world full of peace and understanding
All I needs a little time
For me to get it right
But no one ever hears me
Through my tears
I can never see clearly
Won't somebody show me a sign?
That I'm not a waste of time

I can't stop shaking
This world is gonna break in
My life is on a landslide

Won't somebody save me?
Save me from myself
I'm in need of some one else's help
Won't you save me?
Save me from myself
Love is all I need

One day I'll work it out
Then I'll know what it's all about
And I'll sing a song from a different heart
Some times seems you're better off dead
You're lying there with a gun at your head
Don't understand why you can't find out.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harder All The Time

Open up your eyes and you will see
The death of our reality
From the right to belong
To the right to disagree
Every single day it's getting harder to breath

And it's getting harder all the time
Getting harder line by line
Getting harder all the time
Getting harder

I've never had to be a violent man
But if the revolution comes
I'll take my stand
They keep on giving they're political lip
All they ever seem to do is tighten they're grip

And it's getting harder all the time
Getting harder line by line
Getting harder all the time
Getting harder


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

The town where I come from
That little place is gone
A place it took me twenty years to leave
And the ones I left behind
Are terribly unkind
They hoped to see me crawl back on my knees

I'm not in touch now
I never call I'm not inclined
I've sent those memories into the mist of time
It's out of sight
All out of sight and out of mind.

My new home address cannot fail to impress
I'm established in the city of my dreams
Each new friend that I find, is magnanimous and kind
I'm full of confidence and self esteem

Friends in high places
Invite me to their ivory towers
Smiles on their faces and their mouths
They're out of sight; they're out at night
All out of sight and out of mind

I'll be in clover pretty soon
When the new tax laws take effect in May
The whole world over I can feel
Has a covering of sunshine
And it shines here everyday

I could swear that I smell smoke
Drifting underneath the door
But it's probably just the factory down the street
Now I cannot find my keys, gonna make myself late
And there is somebody I really have to meet

He says he's the taxman
I don't know what he thinks he'll find
It's a funny thing but I recognise the way he speaks
It's out of sight, just out of sight,
Sometimes I lie awake at night
But I can't sleep without a light
All out of sight all out of sight and out of mind.

Open Your Mind

Jean Marie Le Penn
Has done it again
There's something obscene
Bout combat 18

Won't you leave it alone?
Oliver Stone
Cause the Pol pot regime
Is back on the scene

Open your mind
Open your mind
The truth you will find
If you open your mind

Don't listen to fools
Who make all the rules?
Don't listen to me
Listen to you

Open your mind
Open your mind
The truth you will find
If you open your mind

Don't listen to fools
Cause they're not as beautiful as you
They'll make you comply
Without ever knowing the reason why
You better open your mind
The truth you will find
