Rock The Flock

Version 1 is a live recording, performed solo with acoustic guitar

Version 2 is a live studio recording, performed as part of an internet broadcast during Larry's 1997 online birthday party

Version 3 is a full studio recording, but with no vocals. The track is titled 'Deja Vu' - presumably because it was the second time the song appeared on the album. It was not given its proper title because it was part of a sort of challenge where Larry wanted fans to figure out what the last six tracks on the album were

lyrics version 1
You gotta open your mouth
Don't play no games
Learn to walk proud
Don't live in shame
Tell everybody 'xactly where you're coming from
You gotta rock the flock till kingdom come
All you mothers and fathers
Living in this world
Treat your children better
So all the boys and girls
Can grow up in love and not feel numb
You gotta rock the flock till kingdom come
Speak the truth
Scream and yell
Say it loud so they can hear you t'ward the gates of hell
Don't close your eyes
Don't hide your light
Shake off your fear and jump into the fight
You gotta hit the streets
And spread the word around
Tell everybody you meet
To lay their burden down
You've gotta love one another, beat the drum
You gotta rock the flock till kingdom come
Don't play no games
Learn to walk proud
Don't live in shame
Tell everybody 'xactly where you're coming from
You gotta rock the flock till kingdom come
All you mothers and fathers
Living in this world
Treat your children better
So all the boys and girls
Can grow up in love and not feel numb
You gotta rock the flock till kingdom come
Speak the truth
Scream and yell
Say it loud so they can hear you t'ward the gates of hell
Don't close your eyes
Don't hide your light
Shake off your fear and jump into the fight
You gotta hit the streets
And spread the word around
Tell everybody you meet
To lay their burden down
You've gotta love one another, beat the drum
You gotta rock the flock till kingdom come

I'm gonna open my mouth
Say his name
Walk tall, walk proud
Not live in shame
I'm gonna tell everybody where I'm coming from
I'm gonna rock the flock till kingdom come
There's a world outside
And it's falling apart
If you love your brother
Open up your heart
If he needs some help you better give him some
You’ve gotta rock the flock till kingdom come
Jump and rave
Scream and yell
Kick it hard so they can hear you near the gates of hell
Don't hold back
Don't hide your light
Shake off your fear and get into the fight
When you're out on the street
Spread the word around
Tell the people you meet

Sing your song, beat your drum
