watch what you're doing
[Go to Song Page]
Mo' guitar [Spoken]
Mmm, mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck
She put it on the table with his legs sticking up
Papa broke his glasses when he fell down drunk
Tried to drown the kitty cat, turned out to be a skunk
You gotta watch what you're doing
Didn't you know
Yeah you gotta watch where you're going
Didn't you know
Little Joe Billy went fishing for trout
Played hooky from school 'til the cops found out
Didn't have a father, was an only child
His mama never beat him so he grew up wild
You gotta watch what you're doing
Yeah
I knew a girl, sweet as could be
But she fell for a man like a chain sawed tree
She listened to his lies, was fooled by his charms
Now she's sitting with a baby in her arms
You gotta watch what you're doing
Didn't you know
You gotta watch what you're doing
You oughta know that
You gotta watch out
Watch out
Well everything's fine till things get bad
Then you sit around thinking 'bout the good times you had
But it ain't no good to lead a life of sin
If you don't shape up you know you'll never get in
You better watch what you're doing
Ah don't you know
You oughta know where you're going
Do you know
Some folks smile, they seem alright
Then you later find out it was an angel of light
Try to love everybody but don't be blind
'Cause some kind of people try to mess your mind
You gotta watch who you know yeah
Some folks say that the good Lord's dead
That he doesn't exist 'cept inside your head
I wonder how many gonna be surprised
When they look straight up and see him coming through the skies
You gotta watch what you're doing
Don't you know
'Cause he does yeah
You know he watches what you're doing
Yes he does
You better know where you're going (Ooh ooh)
Yeah yeah yeaow (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Well well well hutz sut sut
Well well well hutz hutz a mutza
C'mon pilgrim, you know he loves you
He loves you more than he loves this cloven earth
Don't make your life bad and start acting like an idiot

moses in the wilderness
[Go to Song Page]
Moses tending sheep in the fields one day
When he thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say
Gotta free your people
From the Pharaoh's hand
Gotta take 'em all to the promised land
Moses knew that God was talking to him
So he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim
And Moses bugged the Pharaoh, he bugged him
And he bugged him
'Till he got his people freed
He used real bugs
Yes indeed, ow ow
He got his people freed
Ow ow ow ow [x2]
Moses on the banks of the wide Red Sea
He stuck out a stick and one two three
The water rolled back
And the people walked down
Everybody knew they wouldn't drown
Pharaoh told his army to bring 'em all back
An' here come the chariots, clickety clack
Why Moses took his stick
And he closed up the water
An' the 'Gyptians all took a bath
Ow ow ow ow
What a laugh
Ow they all took a bath
Ow ow ow [cough] ow
Ow ow ow ow
Dirty 'Gyptians
Grab my foot, take my hand
Lead me on to the promised land
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Me and all my people is here
So keep on sending manna
From the atmosphere
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
After forty long years in the wilderness
They finally saw their potential metropolis
They all gave thanks
And they all praised the Lord
Even though it took time he kept his word
He grab their foot and he tooken their hand
And he brung 'em all over
To the promised land
But it seems to me like an awful long time to be
Looking for a home
Ow ow ow ow
A mighty long roam, home
Looking for a home, a home a home
Never borrow money needlessly [cough]

six sixty six
[Go to Song Page]
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

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
if god is my father
[Go to Song Page]
If God is my father
And you are my brother
Then why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another
Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other
It must break his heart in two
Once we were happy
Oh yes, once in the garden
But then a lie broke the stillness
And our hearts began to harden
And hoping to be wiser man has reached too far
Sometimes I think that we've advanced
But then I look at where we are
And oh I cry
I feel like crying
Oh I cry
I feel like crying
Why do we argue
Why are there so many churches
With half of them empty
And some represent a million dollar purchase
What's happened to the message given by our lord
To take his gospel to the streets
And share our money with the poor
And learn to love
He said love is the greatest thing
We've got to learn to love
Love is the greatest thing
If God is my father
Then you are my brother
And why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another
Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other
It just breaks my heart in two
We've got to learn to love
Love is the greatest thing [x2]
Oh ooh ooh ooh wooh
You've got to learn to love (Learn to love) [x4]
Yes you've got to learn to love
You've got to learn to love [x8]

You've got to learn to love (Oh) (Learn to love, you've got to learn to love) [x3]
You've got to learn to love [x3] (Oh) (You've got to learn to love)
You've got to learn to love
Love is the greatest thing (Oh)
You've got to learn to love is the greatest thing
You've got to learn to love (Oh)

the outlaw
[Go to Song Page]
Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
No one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That kept him on the run
Some say he was a poet
That he'd stand upon the hill
And his voice could calm an angry crowd
Or make the waves stand still
That he spoke in many parables
That few could understand
But the people sat for hours
Just to listen to this man
Some say he was a sorcerer
A man of mystery
He could walk upon the water
He could make a blind man see
That he conjured wine at weddings
And did tricks with fish and bread
That he talked of being born again
And raised people from the dead
Some say a politician
Who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses
On the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption
And he bowed to no decree
And they feared his strength and power
So they nailed him to a tree
Some say he was the son of God
A man above all men
But he came to be a servant
And to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe he was
'Cause that's who I believe
And I think we should get ready
'Cause it's time for us to leave
Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
No one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That kept him on the run
Some say he was a poet
That he'd stand upon the hill
And his voice could calm an angry crowd
Or make the waves stand still
That he spoke in many parables

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

I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold

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 [x4]
Life was filled with guns and war

[Go to Song Page]
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

a woman of god
[Go to Song Page]
Oh yeah eh eh
I need a woman who doesn't take drugs, an' mess with men
Believes the bible and despises sin
Lifts me up instead of knocking me down
Follows God instead o' running around
I need a woman who's kind and true
I haven't found her but until I do
I'll be looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
I'll be looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
I need a woman who knows the measure of what she's worth
Stores up treasure but not on earth
Seeks God's will in all that's done
And keeps her eyes on the holy one
I need a woman who's kind and true
I haven't found her but until I do
I'll be looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
You know I'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
The bible says a good wife who can find, she's more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband is glad in her. She clothes her children in purple. Her lamp does not go out at night. She is known among the people in the city. And her children, her children shall rise up and call her blessed [Spoken]
Oh I'm looking for a woman of God

stop this flight
[Go to Song Page]
Sixteen hours to London
Flying on a DC-10
I wonder if when this plane sets down
I'll ever be able to walk again
I spent thirty five days in Europe
Singing 'til my voice is gone
Never time enough to get a good night's sleep
What is this road that I've been running on
You gotta stop this flight
I got to get back to earth
Hey I'm a human being (being being being being)
An' God knows what that's worth (worth worth worth worth worth worth worth)
I'm moving like a dancer on a darkened stage
But I'll be risen from this prison at the end of the age
Yeah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ayah
I've been locked up in the studio
And this is no way to live
They never like the music 'til the records sell
And they always want more than you can possibly give
I've been struggling for inspiration
And hoping that the songs won't flop
I've been waiting like a beggar for the option to drop
You've got to live up to the contract 'til they tell you to stop
You gotta stop this flight
Gotta get back to earth
We are human beings (beings beings beings beings)
An' God knows what that's worth (worth worth worth worth worth worth)
We're not meant to be imprisoned in this earthly cage
And end up screaming like a demon at the end of the age
We gotta stop this flight
We gotta stop it, stop it, stop it
You gotta stop this flight (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
You gotta get back to earth (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
We are human beings (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
An' God knows what that's worth (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
You've gotta stop your flight (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Get back to earth
Gotta stop this flight (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Gotta get back to earth
Stop this flight (Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Get back to earth
(Wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

my feet are on the rock
[Go to Song Page]
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone
And I am not alone
So when I feel the need I dance before the throne
Take it easy, nice and slow
Feel his presence, don’t you know
If he says follow, I will go
I feel like dancing, ‘cause he saved my soul
Goliath had a sword, David had a stone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
So if you knock me down (Ooh woo woo woo)
Oh brother I will not fight you back (Ya ya ya ya, woo wo-wo wo-wo woo-oh wo wo)
You know God loves all his children (Wo woo woo woo)
Red, white, yellow, brown and black (Wo-oh oh oh oh oh)
Go Charley go
My my my, such a little boy too, mmm hmm
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving never satisfies my soul
Don’t wanna do the stroll
When I’m down I go off on my own
And I am not alone
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Mmm mm mm
Back off Jimmy, it’s not wrong
This kind of music comes from the church not from the devil
Now I hope you heared me
Good night
God bless you
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone
And I am not alone

Take it easy, nice and slow

I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)

messiah
[Go to Song Page]
Messiah took this world by force
Messiah took the world by force
I could hear children crying
I could see people dying
I could see the cities falling
I could hear the saviour calling
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah took this world by force) He took this world by force x2
Red clouds blotted out the sun
Darkness fell on everyone
Rivers of blood were running
I could see the armies coming
I could see their weapons falling
I could hear the angels calling
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah took this world by force) He took this world by force
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) Messiah
(Messiah) He took this world by force
The bear from the north
And the dragon from the east
Descended upon the armies of Israel
And slaughtered them
And in that moment
The chosen of Israel cried out for Messiah
And Messiah came
Messiah Messiah
(Messiah Messiah Messiah took this world by force)
(Messiah) Messiah

talking 'bout stuff
why should the devil have all the good music
[Go to Song Page]
A one two a one two three
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
A one two a one two three
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
