Volume 2 of the Essential Series introduced three previously unheard songs, Sweet Silver Angels (a cover of the Judee Sill song Jesus Is A Crossmaker), God Part II and People In My Past, as well as an alternate recording of Even If You Don't Believe. Half of the other tracks are edited, some quite extensively. Larry described it thus: Loaded with 24 songs, this special release is a harvest of plenty. It includes music that is out-of-print (no longer available on CD) plus some unreleased songs which have never been heard before. The "standout songs" featured are all bonus tracks, previously unreleased songs: "People In My Past," "Silver Angels" and the original God Part 2 - from 1971 (95% different lyrics)

you can't take away the lord
[Go to Song Page]
Ah
You can take away my kids
Take away my wife
You can take away my job
And you can take away my life
You can take away my house
Take away my Ford
But you can't take away the Lord
Now listen Satan
You just can't take away the church
Or the bible book
Unless you wanna waste your time
You better take a second look
'Cause you can't take away my shield
Can't take away my sword
And you can't take away the Lord
Well he made me and he saved me, ba ba ba
And I follow after
Everywhere he leads
There's peace and laughter
Laughing in the spirit
Listen and you'll hear it
You can take away the pill
And the atom bomb
Take away Einstein's theories
And the things all yet to come
You could'a took away the wheel
With the dinosaur
But you can't take away the Lord, oh no
Well he made me and he saved me, ba ba ba ba-ow
And I follow after
Everywhere he leads
There's peace and laughter
Laughing in the spirit
Listen and you'll hear it
You can take away the pill, wooh
And the atom bomb
Take away Einstein's theories
And the things all yet to come
You could'a took away the wheel
With the dinosaur
But you can't take away the Lord
Na na na no you'll never take away
My sweet reward
'Cause you can't take away the Lord
Ah
You can take away my kids
Take away my wife
You can take away my job
And you can take away my life
You can take away my house
Take away my Ford
But you can't take away the Lord

Unless you wanna waste your time
You better take a second look

i wish we'd all been ready
[Go to Song Page]
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head
He's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke the demons dined
The son has come and you've been left behind
You've been left behind [x2]
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head
He's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
La la la la la la la

How could you have been so blind
The father spoke the demons dined

You've been left behind [x2]
what goes through your mind
[Go to Song Page]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live
Or if you drown
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
The things you think you want
They only screw you up
You can be good or bad
Do what you want to do
And it’s up to you to decide
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Look for the truth and you'll find it girl
The truth's ahead, you're behind it girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind gi'
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live

Even if you don't believe it’s gonna come true
Even if you don't believe it’s gonna happen to you

Even if you don't believe it's gonna come true

Ah
Taking my time
Filling the holes
Resting my mind
Growing my soul
Love is divine
And reading the scrolls
Is making me whole

lonely by myself
[Go to Song Page]
If I could find someone who really cared for me
Someone to share my love and keep me company
If I could find someone, I'd let them take control
And in exchange for love I'd give my very soul
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
If I could find someone who really loved me right
They'd make my life complete, they'd make my soul shine bright
I've looked around the world, I've walked down every street
Still I can't find no one to give me what I need
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me, fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
I get so lonely, so lonely
So lonely by myself
Who can I turn to, is there anybody there
Doesn't anybody care
Oo-ooh, doesn't anybody listen
Doesn't anybody care
If I could find someone who really cared for me
Someone to share my love and keep me company
If I could find someone, I'd let them take control
And in exchange for love I'd give my very soul
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
If I could find someone who really loved me right
They'd make my life complete, they'd make my soul shine bright
I've looked around the world, I've walked down every street
Still I can't find no one to give me what I need
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me, fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
I get so lonely, so lonely
So lonely by myself
Who can I turn to, is there anybody there
Doesn't anybody care
Oo-ooh, doesn't anybody listen
Doesn't anybody care
righteous rocker
[Go to Song Page]
One two three [Spoken]
You can be a righteous rocker or a holy roller
You can be 'most anything
You can be a Leon Russell or a super muscle
You can be a corporate king
You can be a wealthy man from Texas
Or a witch with heavy hexes
But without love
You ain't nothing without love
Without love
You ain't nothing without love
You can be a brilliant surgeon or a sweet young virgin
Or a harlot out to sell
You can learn to play the blues or be Howard Hughes
Or the Scarlet Pimpernel
You can be a French provincial midwife
Or go from door to door with a death knife
But without love
You ain't nothing without love
Without love
You ain't nothing without love
Without love
You ain't nothing without love (you ain't nothing without love) oh no
Without love
You ain't nothing without love
Break
Hoo hoo hoo ooh ooh
Oh, you can be a woman feeler
Or a baby stealer
You can drink your life away
You can be a holy prophet
Get a blessing off it
You can fast for fifty days
You can shake hands with the devil
Or give your life to God on the level
But without love
You ain't nothing without love (you ain't nothing without love)
Without love
You ain’t nothing without love
Without love
You ain't nothing without love (you ain't nothing without love)
Without love
You ain’t nothing without love
You can be a righteous rocker (without love you ain't nothing without love)
That's right (without love you ain't nothing without love)
You can be a holy roller
But you ain't nothing without love (without love you ain't nothing without love) without love
(Without love you ain't nothing without love) Forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
(Without love you ain't nothing without love) Stop looking at the stars, you don't live under the signs
(Without love you ain't nothing without love) Don't mess with gypsies or have your fortune read
(Without love without love) Keep your table on the floor and don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitch-hike your way to heaven, the devil's closed the road
You live once, you die once, with no reincarnate episode
You can't hitch-hike to heaven or get there by being good
The rules were set down long ago when the spikes went in the wood
The rules were set down long ago when the spikes went in the wood, ah
The rules were set down long ago when the spikes went in the wood
(Without love you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love you ain't nothing without love) There ain't no getting around it
Without love you're nothing
Without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing (you ain't nothing without love) you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)

song for a small circle of friends
[Go to Song Page]
Well my life is filled with songs
But I just could not get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better life begins
And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah you're so crazy but you know it
And I love you as we both crawl toward the lamp
With Clapton on guitar
And Charlie on the drums
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Bobby watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside starts growing
Ah let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing
And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if these words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know he loves you
Well my life is filled with songs
But I just could not get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better life begins
And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah you're so crazy but you know it
And I love you as we both crawl toward the lamp
With Clapton on guitar
And Charlie on the drums
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Bobby watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside starts growing
Ah let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing
And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if these words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, he loves you
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know he loves you

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you've done to yourself
Why don't ya, you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Gonorrhea on Valentine’s day, VD
And you're still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock and roll will set you free
Honey, you'll be deaf before you're thirty three
Shooting junk till you're half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Work all night
Sleep all day
You take your money
Throw it all away
You say you're gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough
To find out who you really are
Ah ah ow-ah-ow ow aw ah wow
Ah ah ah-ah-ow ah ah ah uh ooh
Think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different and life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Yes he does
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
He got the answer
Take a look, take a look
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you've done to yourself
Why don't ya, you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus

You can take your diamonds and lock them in your room
And you will lose everything you save

One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hands
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
And I took the one less traveled by
And that's made the difference every night and every day
So I say one way, one way to heaven
Hold your heads up high
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Children of the sky
Yeah-oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Children of the sky
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hands
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
And I took the one less traveled by
And that's made the difference every night and every day
So I say one way, one way to heaven
Hold your heads up high
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Children of the sky
Yeah-oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Children of the sky

The word is revolution
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plan
With detailed counterplot
And the world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
And the air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
But it’s all in Revelation
It’s part of the design
'N if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Sha la la la la la la la la la [x4]
Well I marched for peace in Washington
Things were getting hot
Then I gave blood in Chicago
Went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked to Toronto, John
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Sha la la la la la la la la la

Then I gave blood in Chicago
Went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked to Toronto, John
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Revolution
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Peace or pollution
Sha la la la la la la la la la
A-persecution
Sha la la la la la (la la la la)
Ooh Jesus come quickly
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
The world's getting sickly
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
Revolution
(Sha la la la la la la la la la) Oh oh oh
Sha la la la la
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
You're the solution
(Sha la la la la la la la la la) Sha la sha la sha la yourself
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la one way sha la (Sha la la la la la la la la la)

He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
And you will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbors
They might think that it's not true
But when you open up the morning papers
You will know they've seen it too
He will come back like he promised
With the price already paid
He will gather up his followers
And take them all away
He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
And some will sleep but will not die
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure that he must know
And he's been there once already
And has died to save their souls
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
And you will drop your hands and stare
Well he's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
Hi-ya-ah-wa-waoh wo-oh-oh-ah-woh

Coming back to take you home

[Go to Song Page]
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Ah
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
I'm glad my faith is stronger
This world won't last much longer
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and I watched the joy increase
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh oh ah ah
Oh oh-ho-oh
Ooh hoo hoo hoo ooh
There's no time left for stalling
Can't you hear someone calling
Life all around is crumbling
I think this world is stumbling
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song now
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
Wo oh-ho-oh
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and I watched the joy increase
Yes, I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth

In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eyes
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six si...
If the band will play six sixty si...
If the band will play six sixty six
In the midst of the war he offered us peace

why should the devil have all the good music

I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say rock and roll is wrong
We'll give you one more chance
I say I feel so good I gotta get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
I don't confuse it
All I'm really trying to say is
Why should the devil have all the good music
An’ I feel good every day
Because Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
They say to cut my hair
They're driving me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
But sometimes people don't understand
What's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
Well if you've got a reason, tell me to my face
Why should the devil have all the good music
There's nothing wrong with what I play, aaaah
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Allright
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that moves my feet
I don't like none of those funeral marches
I ain't dead yet
Wow
Jesus told the truth
An’ Jesus showed the way
There's one more thing I'd like to say
They nailed him to the cross
And they laid him in the ground
But they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down
I feel good every day
I don't wanna lose it
All I wanna, all I wanna know is
Why should the devil have all the good music
I been filled, I feel okay
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Ah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Ah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away, yeah
I want the people to know

But I still like to listen to the radio

the great american novel
[Go to Song Page]
I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
In a land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows
Of your silos filled with grain
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
And when I was ten you murdered law
With courtroom politics
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth
But I know you better now
And I don't fall for all your tricks
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth
You kill a black man at midnight
Just for talking to your daughter
Then you make his wife your mistress
And you leave her without water
And the sheet you wear upon your face
Is the sheet your children sleep on
And at every meal you say a prayer
You don't believe but still you keep on
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You are far across the ocean
In a war that's not your own
And while you're winning theirs
You're gonna lose the one at home
Do you really think the only way
To bring about the peace
Is to sacrifice your children
And kill all your enemies
The politicians all make speeches
While the news men all take notes
And they exaggerate the issues
As they shove it down our throats
Is it really up to them
Whether this country sinks or floats
Well I wonder who would lead us
If none of us would vote
Hmm
Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped
From whispering through the fence
You know every move I make
Or is that just coincidence
Will you try to make my way of life
A little less like jail
If I promise to make tapes and slides
And send them through the mail
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You say all men are equal, all men are brothers
Then why are the rich more equal than others
Don't ask me for the answers, I've only got one
That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the son
I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
In a land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows
Of your silos filled with grain
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
And when I was ten you murdered law

And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth

[Go to Song Page]
Alice is a drag queen
Bowie's somewhere in between
Other bands are looking mean
Me, I'm trying to stay clean
I don't dig the radio
I hate what the charts pick
Rock and roll may not be dead
But it's getting sick
All over the world disc jockeys talk the same
And every town I play is like the one from where I came
The Rolling Stones are millionaires
Flower children pallbearers
Beatles said all you need is love
And then they broke up
Jimi took an overdose
Janis followed so close
The whole music scene and
All the bands are pretty comatose
This time last year, people didn't wanna hear
They looked at Jesus from afar
This year he's a superstar
Dear John, who's more popular now
I've been listening to Paul's records
I think he really is dead
It's 1973, I wonder who we're gonna see
Who's in power now
I think I'll turn on the TV
The man on the news said
China's gonna beat us
We shot all our dreamers
And there's no one left to lead us
We need a solution, we need salvation
Let's send some people to the moon
And gather information
They brought back a big bag of rocks
Only cost thirteen billion
Must be nice rocks
You think it's such a sad thing
When you see a fallen king
Then you find out they're only princes to begin with
And everybody has to choose
Whether they'll win or lose
Follow God or sing the blues
And who they're gonna sin with
What a mess the world is in
I wonder who began it
Don't ask me, I'm only visiting this planet
This world is not my home
I'm just passing through

I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
Mmm you stopped me, you touched me, you looked me in the eye
I had a feeling that you knew me, I decided you must die
I pulled out my Thornton special, I shot you in the head
I threw you in the alley way and I left you for dead
Uh
Then a man with a hat came up from behind
The sky went black and I thought I was blind
He put his hand inside my jacket and left a million dollar bills
He slipped his hand into my pocket and gave me women and thrills
And when I turned around to thank him, there was no one there but me
And both my hands were filled with sand, I was standing by the sea
We had dinner at eight and women at nine
The party was great till we ran out of wine
There was a knock upon the bedroom door, my knees began to shake
And this man came in and melted all the candles on my cake
He said I, I've come here to escort you, it's time for you to go
He opened up my body and he took away my soul
I was running down the road
I was running down the road, I was trying to leave
An' I saw you all alone in between the thieves
And when the lightning flashed I saw somebody hanging from a tree
As I turned to walk away I realized it was me
I pulled out my Thornton special, I shot me in the head
I threw me in the alleyway and I left me for dead
Ah down the road
Down the road [x3]
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
Mmm you stopped me, you touched me, you looked me in the eye

nightmare
[Go to Song Page]
Aaaaah [Yawn like]
Last night I had that same old dream, it rocked me in my sleep
And left me the impression that the sandman plays for keeps
I dreamed I was in concert on the middle of a cloud
John Wayne and Billy Graham were giving breath mints to the crowd
I fell through a hole in heaven, I left the stage for good
And when I landed on the earth I was back in Hollywood
The California earthquake, it tore the land in half
While San Andreas cleared her throat I heard Psunami laugh
The ground began to tremble, the land began to sway
And people in the other states, they were glad they'd moved away
But suddenly California just floated in the breeze
While everything that wasn't sank down into the seas
And soon I saw Atlantis rumble and rise high
And the great egg of Euphrates came down out of the sky
Out stepped Shirley Temple with Guy Kibbee, who was dead
And that communist Bill Robinson, whom Shirley called black red
They had a marionette of Harpo Marx, they said it was a inside joke
But when I honked his horn he came alive and these were the words he spoke
With the continents adrift and the sun about to shift
Will the ice caps drown us all or will we burn
We've polluted what we own, will we reap what we have sown
Are we headed for the end or can we turn
We've paved the forest, killed the streams
Burned the bridges to our dreams
The earth is bursting at the seams
And in pain of childbirth screams
As it gives life to what seems
To either be an age that gleams
Or simply lays there dying
If this goes on will life survive, how can it
Out of the grave, oh who will save our planet
I said I'm pleased to meet you, I always thought you were a scream
He said have you ever thought of having Helen Keller in your dream
I said Errol Flynn dropped by but he tried to steal my girl
Then she ran off with Ronald Colman, said something about a new world
Now I'm stuck with my own cooking, hell I'm lonely can't you see
Well he grabbed my leg, he said exactly eighty nine words to me
Count 'em
Let the proud but dying nation kiss the last generation
It's the year of the pill, age of the gland
We have landed on the moon but we'll clutter that up soon
Our sense of freedom's gotten out of hand
We kill our children, swap our wives
We've learned to greet a man with knives
We swallow pills in fours and fives
Our cities look like crumbling hives
Man does not live, he just survives
Love is a corpse, we sit and watch it harden
We left it oh so long ago the garden
The strings snapped briskly then went slack, the marionette lay dead
While Hoover played with the motorcade the body slumped and bled
The man who held the camera disappeared into the crowd
I said the hope of youth, fictitious truth lays covered in a shroud
Then up walked Elmo Lincoln and he said I beg your pardon
But we left it oh so long ago the garden
We left it oh so long ago the garden
Aaaaah [Yawn like]

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
One time I trusted a stranger 'cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me though there was something wrong
And when I turned he was gone
Blinding me his song remains reminding me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
He wages war with the devil when the light becomes dim
And when the junction gets nearer and danger is in the wind
And either road is looking grim
Frightening me I see my fear dividing me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh but Jesus was a cross maker
Ooh ooh ooh
Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me

I don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in rock
I don't believe in the primal scream, that's just psychological talk
I don't believe in love and peace when it comes with a dovetail joint
I don't believe in heroin chic, it's hard to see the point
I don't believe in the upheld fist unless your finger points toward heaven
Don't wanna talk about six six six but I'm rather fond of seven
I don't believe in Reich or Jung or the twisted words of Freud
I don't believe in dianetics, operating thetans talk like 'droids
I don't believe in politicians who campaign on promises and fear
They spend millions to get elected, they get paid sixty thousand a year
Do you really wanna put your faith in them when they can't do simple math
Are you really gonna follow that kind of person when they're leading you up the path

I don't believe in Camelot, great society, new frontier
I don't believe that any man here on earth can help us get out of here
I've always heard thou shalt not kill, what are we doing in Vietnam
Why do we have the electric chair, why did we build the neutron bomb
I don't believe in the moonshot, how many billions was that worth
If you wanna show up the Russians then just feed all the poor on earth
I don't believe in evolution, I didn't slither from the sea
Ain't gonna let no palaeontologist make a monkey out of me
I don't believe that we're evolving into some smarter kinda race
I believe we're going backwards towards some kind of final phase
I think this world is running toward hell and that's not the way it needs to be
We're sleeping in the light, to tell black from white
You've gotta open your eyes to see
Lead guitar [Spoken]
I don't believe in Mohammed or the dreams of Babylon
I don't believe in Buddha or the tao he sat upon
I don't believe in Maharishi or the things for which he says he stood
I don't believe what Confuscious say but his cookies are pretty good
I don't believe you can pray to Mary 'cause she's sleeping in the ground
And I don't believe you'll see Jesus on the cross the next time he comes around
Ow-now-now-thou-nah
Wa-ow pow pow pow pow
Pa-ow pow pow pow pa-ow
Pa-ow pa-ow
Well I don't believe that education is the path to enlightenment
I don't believe that the rights of man are represented by the government
And I don't believe the real voice of God can be heard clearly in American church
If you wanna find the truth get on your knees, start praying, baby it's a life-long search
I don't believe I can explain myself by trying to say all of these things quicker
But I do believe there's really nothing worth knowing that can be printed on something the size of a bumper sticker
Yeah I'll do it right there, get going. Take two [Spoken]
[Clears throat]
I don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in rock
I don't believe in the primal scream, that's just psychological talk
I don't believe in love and peace when it comes with a dovetail joint
I don't believe in heroin chic, it's hard to see the point
I don't believe in the upheld fist unless your finger points toward heaven
Don't wanna talk about six six six but I'm rather fond of seven
I don't believe in Reich or Jung or the twisted words of Freud
I don't believe in dianetics, operating thetans talk like 'droids
I don't believe in politicians who campaign on promises and fear
They spend millions to get elected, they get paid sixty thousand a year
Do you really wanna put your faith in them when they can't do simple math
Are you really gonna follow that kind of person when they're leading you up the path
[Coughs]
I don't believe in Camelot, great society, new frontier
I don't believe that any man here on earth can help us get out of here
I've always heard thou shalt not kill, what are we doing in Vietnam
Why do we have the electric chair, why did we build the neutron bomb
I don't believe in the moonshot, how many billions was that worth
If you wanna show up the Russians then just feed all the poor on earth
I don't believe in evolution, I didn't slither from the sea
Ain't gonna let no palaeontologist make a monkey out of me

people in my past
[Go to Song Page]
I still love those people in my past
I miss their music
But some things just don't last
I wonder what they're doing now
I wonder where they live
I wonder if they got the life that only God can give
When you leave behind the friends you know
And you're not sure where you're going to go
'Cause you can never know what's up the road ahead
But still you don't look left and you don't look right
And though you stumble in the darkest night
When you trust someone you follow where you're led
Oh yes I still love those people in my past
Capitol Records, MGM
Jesus rock is the modern hymn
One of you stopped me, one of you let me speak
Managers rip you right in two
Critics they are the wise man's fool
Don't read your hate mail, turn the other cheek
The Pharisees rage, the ignorant scoff
The self righteous gossip 'cause it gets them off
When nobody listens what are you supposed to do
You take a look around,so much is wrong
You hope somebody brings a change along
If nobody else does, maybe it's up to you
Oh oh oh I still love those people in my past
People in my past
People in my past
I still love those people in my past
I miss their music
But some things just don't last
I wonder what they're doing now
I wonder where they live
I wonder if they got the life that only God can give
When you leave behind the friends you know
And you're not sure where you're going to go
'Cause you can never know what's up the road ahead
But still you don't look left and you don't look right
And though you stumble in the darkest night
When you trust someone you follow where you're led
Oh yes I still love those people in my past

When nobody listens what are you supposed to do

If nobody else does, maybe it's up to you
Oh oh oh I still love those people in my past
People in my past
