forget your hexagram
[Go to Song Page]
Ah forget your hexagram you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep the table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
Ah forget your hexagram you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep the table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
speech
You politicians who are having difficulty drafting up the perfect plan for peace, listen to me. It's right here. Real peace. Peace is not the absence of war, it's the presence of happiness. You radicals, you radicals want all out revolution? You've got it. Complete change, a new way of life. Members of the press, we may look peaceful today, but don't be fooled. This isn't a revolution without bloodshed. Without Christ, the price was great. If the blood of Jesus had not been shed, we would have no cause here today to revolution. And if he had not risen from the dead we would have no hope here today for peace. This is a spiritual revolution. It's a renaissance and it's growing. The power of the holy spirit is at the roots of it and we appear to be the first green branches. The tree of life is shaped like a cross. There's a sign right out here, it says uncle Sam, Jesus wants you. [Spoken]
sweet sweet song of salvation
[Go to Song Page]
When you know a pretty story
You don't let it go unsaid
You tell it to your children
As you tuck them into bed
And when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends
Because a lifetime filled with happiness
Is like a street that never ends
(Alright) Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And tell the people everywhere
Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
To every man, every nation
Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And let the people know that Jesus cares
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na nada na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na nada na na
Well look around you as you sing it
There are people everywhere
And to those who stop to listen
This sweet song becomes a prayer
'Cause when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends
Tell them that a lifetime filled with Jesus
Is like a street that never ends
(Alright come come) Come sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And let the laughter fill the air
Sing
When you know a pretty story
You don't let it go unsaid
You tell it to your children
As you tuck them into bed
And when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends
Because a lifetime filled with happiness
Is like a street that never ends
(Alright) Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And tell the people everywhere
Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
To every man, every nation
Sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
And let the people know that Jesus cares
Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na nada na na
Well look around you as you sing it
