Hi. It’s a big mystery getting on this stage, it’s all dark in the room. Somebody’s got a flashlight an’ eh over there an’, I guess I’m not supposed to see you until the last minute. Well welcome welcome, yeah. That was quite an impressive thunderstorm the other day. I was trying to get here a day early which is good ‘cos it took almost a day extra for the airport to open up. Oh. I had a hard time sleeping an’, oh so so, I mean this hotel would be keep calling up to see if I want anything you know. Yeah, I’d like some sleep thank you.
Then there’s somebody came to the door and said… Oh I, I didn’t get out of bed, I just yelled who is it? And it’s somebody named Servicios and I don’t know anybody named Servicios, I said who? And eh this woman saying servicios, servicios. And uh I don’t know any Servicios. I go to the door and I look through the keyhole and oh, there’s a a a cart with a bunch of towels on it and I said eh, eh [Spanish] …..por favor, eh domino quatratales, gracias. And I’m just so tired I don’t, I don’t know if I’m speaking Spanish or Chinese you know, just oh. So eh em I hope you all slept well, so one of us’ll be awake eh tonight on and eh this evening. [Spoken]
Oh oh oh wa wa ah ETC
Mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck
She put it on the table with its legs sticking up
Papa broke his glasses when he fell down drunk
He tried to drown the kitty cat, turned out to be a skunk
You gotta watch what you're doing
Don't you know
You got to watch what you're doing
I knew a girl, she was sweet as could be
But she fell for a man like a chain sawed tree
She listened to his lies, she was fooled by his charm
Now she's sitting with a baby in her arms
You gotta watch what you're doing
Yeah you know that
And got to watch what you're doing
Yeah ah ah ah ah-ah
You got to watch what you’re doing
Wo-oh-wa-oh-ah-oh
Everything's fine till things get bad
Then you sit around talking 'bout the good times you had
It ain't no good to lead a life of sin
If you don't shape up, walk straight, you know you can’t get in
You gotta watch what you're doing
‘Cos he does, yeah
You know he watches what you’re doing
And he loves you, still he watches
Yet he loves you
Hmmm
Some people say that God is dead
That he doesn't exist except inside your head
I wonder how many are gonna be surprised
When they look straight up and see him coming through the skies
You gotta watch what you're doing
You gotta know where you’re going
Do you know where you’re going
Yeah yeah
Some people smile, they seem alright
Then later you find out it’s more like they’ve got demons in the night you know
You know I’m talking about is
Lot of ’em in California, people walking down the street like you know
Everything be cool baby
Say to them something about God they say yeah God I know
I know about God, I believe in God
Huh, sin
Yeah, I’ve heard of it
I even know somebody who does it
Gotta watch what you’re doing
Gotta know where you’re going
Some people smile and they seem alright
Later they find out it’s like they’ve got lots of demons in the night
Try to love everybody but don't be blind
Some kind of people just kinda mess up your mind
You’ve gotta watch what you’re doing, yes you do
You know you gotta wa, know where you’re going
Yes you oughta know it
You’ve got to get ready keep it ???
Oh yes you’ve got to ???

Well here’s a song about Corpus Christi. And my granpa who was a barber and my granma who ran a chilli restaurant, and em, me and my brother and my sisters and… Could you turn the back light a little bit more so I could see these words. I never sing these, I’m gonna sing some songs tonight I, I don’t sing. And I’m never gonna sing this song again. [Spoken]
Well
Well I’m going to Corpus to see granpa Joe
Get me a haircut, eat at The Chilli Bowl
Sneak out the back door with a fishing pole
Me and my sister and my brother too
We sing in the desert like the coyotes do
Yes we’re accidental touring in the human zoo
Ow ow ow-ooh
Ow ah ah ow-ahn-a now
Ow ah na ah-a-ah now
Well na na-na
Weh na na now na now now
Weh na now now
Well now now na na now now
Don't mock the albino, that’s me, respect the octoroon
My skin is like porcelain, pale as the moon
I dance the dysfunct hucklebuck but gonna rewrite that tune
Yeah going up to Charlestown, I'm gonna see my ma
Feet up on the ottoman with my old pa
Then head for the kitchen, we'll sit around and jaw
Over skillet cornbread we’ll discuss the law
Black-eyed peas, collard greens
Rochambeau, it’s time to go

Well here’s a song about eh America, but mostly you know Los Angeles. You can help me with this song too, you can sing [Spoken]
This is America [x3]
Just three times. So you’ll be singing like [Spoken]
This is Amer
And I’ll be singing [Spoken]
This is America
And you don’t get fooled by that, you just keep singing [Spoken]
This is Amer
Think you got it? You Texans you. OK [Spoken]
Step into the madness of a million city streets
Where the dealers sell white powder and children stand and bleed
Where the local gangs are vicious and the cops are so impure
That schoolboys carry uzis so they'll feel secure
Mothers
Where fathers rape their daughters and beat up on their sons
Until the mother tries to stop him and goes and buys a gun
Where the local church is closed except a couple times a week
And turns its face from all the homeless in the street
This is America, this
This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice
Everyone gets justice and liberty
If they got the money
Ba da ba ba ba ba bah bow
Bankers and controllers make deals on foreign shores
The CIA ships heroin to finance their secret wars
They sell the madmen weapons then send soldiers to their land
And in the name of God we battle for all the oil under their sand
Is America, this
This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice
And liberty
Yeah if you got the money
Oh if they’ve got the money
Bababababa etc
Step into the madness as a thousand points of light
Illuminate the warheads for the final fight
Step into the madness, say your prayers and drink your tea
Get ready for a kinder, gentler world war three
This is America
This is America
Land of the free
Everyone gets justice
And liberty
If they got the money
If they got the money

why should the devil have all the good music
[Go to Song Page]
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’m gonna get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
I don't confuse it, uh-uh
All I'm really trying to say is
Why should the devil have all the good music
I feel good every day
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
Sometimes people don't understand
They say what's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band
There's nothing wrong or evil about blues licks
Well if you've got a scripture, show 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
Yes he did, alright
[Mimicking a guitar solo:]
Oh oh ah wa wow
Ah oh wa ah wa ah wa wa-a-a-ah
Oh oh wa-ah ah ah
Uh uh uh uh ah uh uh ah ha
Uh uh uh ah ah
Uh uh ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah ah ah ah [coughs]
I’m not knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
I’m not knocking the hymns
Just give me something that moves my feet
I don't like some of those funeral marches
I ain't dead yet
Jesus told the truth
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
That’s right, I feel good every day
I don't wanna lose it
Yeah, well all I’m really trying to say
Is why should the devil have all the good music
There’s nothing wrong
I learned to stand, walk, pray
Hey yeah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away-ay
Yeah ah ah ah wo ah wa ah oh wow
I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio

weight of the world
[Go to Song Page]
This is a song about eh families, kind of baggage that could carry invisibly from one generation to the next. Bible says the sins of the fathers are visited even to the third and fourth generations. And eh sometimes we feel certain things, we don’t know what they are. Sometimes we enter into a relationship with somebody else, like friends or eh in a marriage and you feel the presence of other…. other situations, other voices. And you often don’t understand why some, some situations eh come up, why the person acts a certain way. Until you meet their relatives, sometimes that helps. But sometimes we never know, we just need to love one another and forgive each and be patient. Confess your sins one to another, tender hearted, forgiving each other. [Spoken]
Maybe your father didn’t love you like he should
Maybe your mother just held on the best she could
Everyone has a secret
Give it away or keep it
You’ve got to try and let it go
You carry the weight, the weight of the world
It’s breaking you down, on your back like a boulder
Before it’s too late, get rid of it girl
Get it off of your shoulder
You've been abused
But you can lose the weight of the world
The weight of the world
It all comes down to who you crucify
You either kiss the future or the past goodbye
God can help you fly
You carry the weight
The weight of the world
It’s breaking you down, on your back like a boulder
Before it’s too late, get rid of it girl
Get it off of your shoulder
You've been abused
But you can lose the weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world mmm-mmm-hmm
The weight of the wo-rld oh-oh oh

baby's got the blues
[Go to Song Page]
You know my baby's got the blues
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Should I go away
And pray for her sorrow
She sits there all alone
As silent as a stone
And I don't know how to help
Should I keep it to myself
And wait for tomorrow
And if I knew how to reach her where the waters run deep
I would give her the words that would help her to sleep
At night she lays in bed
With secrets in her head
With pain too deep for words
Nothing can be heard
But the sound of her breathing
Mercies and angels up above
Heaven please help the one I love
Guide the direction that she goes
Watch every step, each hidden stone
Please let her know she's not alone
Give her the strength to trust in everything she knows
I've stayed up late at night
My head bowed in the light
And what I think at last
Is the problems in her past
Are the reason she's leaving
And if I knew what was missing, if I knew what was best
I would give her the words that would help her to rest
You know my baby's got the blues
And I don't know what to do
If she goes away
Should I try and make her stay
Till her night becomes day
And these deep shadows
Blow away
'Cause heaven knows
My heart is so confused
My baby's got the blues
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
You know my baby's got the blues
And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
Should I go away
And pray for her sorrow
She sits there all alone
As silent as a stone
And I don't know how to help
Should I keep it to myself
And wait for tomorrow
And if I knew how to reach her where the waters run deep

[Go to Song Page]
When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
They don't seem to take you far
And you just can't keep from stumbling
Though you try so hard to stand
And the truth can be so humbling
When it's just beyond your hand
As though youth were my invention
As though love lay undefined
To stay free was my intention
To stay young and unconfined
And so I held my pride above you
Oh yes what a fool was I
Holding back those words I love you
And letting out that word goodbye
I was wrong to let you go
I was a child and I did not know about the love
That we both could have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't I hope I'll see you in heaven
Mmmmm mmm-m-mmm
I was foolish in my younger days
To think they'd never end
Life confused me with its changing ways
And I could not comprehend
All the meaning in those moments
Now lost like footprints in the sand
And I'm standing here remembering
But it's so hard to understand
And I was wrong to let you go
I was a child and I did not know about the love
That we both could have given
And now you’re gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't I hope I'll see you in heaven
Oh oh ah ah ah
I've been sitting in this garden
In the middle of my days
And my memories fade and harden
As the years they slip away
And I've been looking in this mirror
At the age around my eyes
Time is such an earnest labourer
Precision is its neighbour
Lay my body in the ground
But let my spirit touch the sky
And I was wrong to let you go
I was a child, how could I know about the love
That we both could have, should have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't I hope I'll see you in heaven
If I don't I hope I'll see you in heaven
Well if I don't I hope I'll see you in heaven
When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
They don't seem to take you far
And you just can't keep from stumbling
Though you try so hard to stand
And the truth can be so humbling
When it's just beyond your hand

As though love lay undefined

a woman of god
[Go to Song Page]
Ah ah ah oh oh
This is not a all along the watchtower
This is a different song
Well I’m 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
Yeah-ah-mm
I need a woman who doesn't take drugs, don't mess with men
Believes the bible, despises sin
Lifts me up instead of knocking me down
Follows God instead of 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'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
Yeah ah-non-oh
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
Keeps her mind 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
Looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
Yeah looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
I’m looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
You wanna sing this song? [Spoken]
Looking for a woman of God, boom boom boom boom
A woman with a righteous heart, boom boom boom boom
I’m looking for a woman of God
Who doesn’t easily fall apart
Ba da dow boom noo da ba na ma
Looking for a woman of God
Ba ma na ba na ba
A woman with a right
You know I’m looking for a woman of God

Well I’m looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
Well 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 does him good, not evil, all her days. Her lamp does not go out at night. She reaches out to the poor, reaches out to the needy. And her children shall rise up and call her blessed [Spoken]

You know I'm looking for a woman of God

I need a woman who doesn't take drugs, don't mess with men
Believes the bible, despises sin
Lifts me up instead of knocking me down
Follows God instead of 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'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
Yeah ah-non-oh
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
Keeps her mind 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
Looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart

let the rain fall down on me
[Go to Song Page]
My woman left me, felt like she left me for another man
You know it came as some surprise, it wasn't in the plan
She never told me nothing was wrong, she never give me a clue
One morning there was a knock on the door and I found out we were through
I saw my future fading and with the papers in my hand
I found myself transported into this desert land
Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
As through this life you ramble, through this world you roam
You might live in a lot of places and never find a home
As down this road you wander and through open fields you cross
You must never stop believing, for all is not lost
And don't worry 'bout the unfaithful lover and false friend
For the love that you have given them is what matters in the end
Heavenly father
Help me thine to be
You let the rain fall on the quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me
Well life is complicated, it’s very hard to live
I've tried to turn my cheek to everything my enemies give
I got a lot of compassion for the sinners and the slaves
I've got an urgent message for those not in their graves
He will cover you with water and baptise your pain
If you let his power wash you clean and soothe your burning brain
Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
I didn't know you were my father
I thought you were the hanging judge
And when I came into your courtroom
I thought you'd hold a grudge
I thought I was a lowly servant
I didn't know I was your son
And I didn't know you had forgiveness
For everything I might have done
This world is crumbling, your kingdom is at hand
Give me the strength to live a little longer, help me to stand
There's gonna be a collision, this world is going fast
A mortgaged future meets a bankrupt past
Change is coming but people are sleeping in their bed
Storm clouds are bringing rain and the moon is turning red
Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall on me
Dearest father
Help me thine to be
You let the rain fall on the quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me
Let it fall [x2]
Let it fall on me
My woman left me, felt like she left me for another man

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
Let his love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home
This life is hard and the road is long that leads me t'ward the light
Sometimes I trip and stumble in the night
My mind becomes so weary I just want to lay down
But I’ve got to keep on going until I reach the higher ground
Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

Sometimes I get so weary on this road
Life gets so bad I start to laugh
My mind becomes so weary
I wanna give up
But I’ve got to keep on looking
For the right path
Let this good life
Be the life I lead
And let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
Let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home
Hoping to learn, every wrong turn is a step t'ward the past
Going astray, losing my way, but I found it at last
Let this good life
Be the life we lead
And let our faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let his love be
All the love we need
To carry us all the way home
To carry us all the way home
Let this good life

i will survive
[Go to Song Page]
I've had a life of pain and sorrow, but I will still be here tomorrow
I will survive, I will survive
Though men's hearts shall fail them daily, I know for sure God’s love will save me
I will survive, I will survive
As the seasons go by in my father's world
My eyes grow dim
I will trust not in the things I see
But bow my heart and lift my hands to him
Though my days ahead are numbered, my life is rich, I have not slumbered
I will survive, I will survive
Some hearts are pierced by love long lost, let my heart be pierc-ed by the cross
I will survive, I will survive
If you see me walking slowly
Like a man who's blind
If you speak and I do not look up
Then you must forgive me but I've got heaven on my mind
Come to me my little boy, you have given me life's greatest joy
I will survive, I will survive
The road before us winds beyond the glade, some fall dancing in the slow parade
I will survive, I will survive
When my enemies strike I pray for them
With all my might
When the shadows grow longer and the cold rolls in
I turn up my collar and walk into the light
Friends may come and friends may go
But enemies stay for the late show
I will survive, I will survive
Friendships fail and love's elusive
Life is hard and time's abusive
I will survive, I will survive
Temptation beckons or befalls me, fear and indecision stalls me
I will survive, I will survive
Illusion shines like diamonds glistening, my father's watching, he is listening
I will survive, I will survive
I will survive
I've had a life of pain and sorrow, but I will still be here tomorrow
I will survive, I will survive
Though men's hearts shall fail them daily, I know for sure God’s love will save me
I will survive, I will survive
As the seasons go by in my father's world
My eyes grow dim
I will trust not in the things I see
But bow my heart and lift my hands to him
Though my days ahead are numbered, my life is rich, I have not slumbered
I will survive, I will survive
Some hearts are pierced by love long lost, let my heart be pierc-ed by the cross
I will survive, I will survive
If you see me walking slowly
Like a man who's blind
If you speak and I do not look up
Then you must forgive me but I've got heaven on my mind
Come to me my little boy, you have given me life's greatest joy
I will survive, I will survive
The road before us winds beyond the glade, some fall dancing in the slow parade
I will survive, I will survive
When my enemies strike I pray for them
With all my might
When the shadows grow longer and the cold rolls in
I turn up my collar and walk into the light
Friends may come and friends may go
But enemies stay for the late show
I will survive, I will survive
Friendships fail and love's elusive
Life is hard and time's abusive
I will survive, I will survive
Temptation beckons or befalls me, fear and indecision stalls me
I will survive, I will survive
Illusion shines like diamonds glistening, my father's watching, he is listening
I will survive, I will survive
I will survive

Hi. It’s a big mystery getting on this stage, it’s all dark in the room. Somebody’s got a flashlight an’ eh over there an’, I guess I’m not supposed to see you until the last minute. Well welcome welcome, yeah. That was quite an impressive thunderstorm the other day. I was trying to get here a day early which is good ‘cos it took almost a day extra for the airport to open up. Oh. I had a hard time sleeping an’, oh so so, I mean this hotel would be keep calling up to see if I want anything you know. Yeah, I’d like some sleep thank you.

And eh this woman saying servicios, servicios. And uh I don’t know any Servicios. I go to the door and I look through the keyhole and oh, there’s a a a cart with a bunch of towels on it and I said eh, eh [Spanish] …..por favor, eh domino quatratales, gracias. And I’m just so tired I don’t, I don’t know if I’m speaking Spanish or Chinese you know, just oh. So eh em I hope you all slept well, so one of us’ll be awake eh tonight on and eh this evening.
How many people were here last night? OK. You guys can go home. No I, I said I was gonna do a lot of different songs tonight so eh those of you who weren't here last night, you're not going to hear the songs I sang last night. And I'm not gonna hear them either.

He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbours
They might think that it's not true
But when they open up the morning papers
They will know they've seen him too
He will come back like he promised
With the price already paid
He will gather up his followers
And take us all away
He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
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 soul
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ahm

texas and me
Yeah, yeah, yep. You know I didn't used to like Texas 'cos I mean. Well I, I moved when I was young, but the reason I didn't like it wasn't 'cause of that, it was 'cause when I came back people offered to beat me up all the time. You know I, I was on tour and eh, with my band in '67 and and eh we had to stay in a hotel and eh, this football team from Texas had come to play against some team in Arizona which was where our, this hotel was. And eh, and they looked at us really mean when we checked in, and then we came out to go swimming and, but they were all down at the pool by that time. And we thought we can't turn round and go back in the room 'cause they're all looking at us you know. So we went down, swimmin' and, and they were trying to pick a fight with us and saying bunch of sissies, homo, you know just, just really trying to antagonise us. And eh it turned out alright that time 'cause um, they said what are you guys, a band? And we said uh-huh. And they said what's the name of your band? We said, People. And they said People, you mean like I Love You? I Love You, that People? Uh-huh. An' they, really, that's our song. And we said how could a football team have some love song be their, their team fight song? But I think what they meant was that song was on the radio, right then, and that they, that was individually their each persons or whatever with his girlfriend. Not, I wouldn't think a bunch of football players get their arms around each other saying I love you, yes I do but the words won't come, and I don't know what to say [SUNG ACAPELLA]. OK, let's get out there and kill 'em.
So in '71 I came to, to eh, it was Dallas, to do a concert and some guy's you know truck with a gun rack in the back window stopped and offered to rearrange my future. And I came back here another time, em, and somebody eh at this hotel, asked me a question, I couldn't hear him, he was talking real quiet. So I walked over to this fenced area, he was inside the pool. He had just thrown eh some chairs and tables into the water. And I, I don't know what he's still asking, I couldn't hear him but maybe he's asking me do you have any tables and chairs in your room or, I don't know. But being a nice polite boy and a christian too, I didn't wanna snub anybody, so he had talked to me and I went over and said I'm sorry what? And he said something, I got a little closer to this fence and said I'm sorry, I can't hear you. He lashes out at me with his fist, and eh, fortunately the, for the fence there, which he had to hop over to eh, repeat himself. I ran in my room, he's pounding on my door, come out here and I'll kill you. And I said how about if I don't come out, then you won't have to kill me. [Laughs]. So I, I called up the, the eh hotel and they said well we'll send somebody by in a while. Eh yeah yeah. Never mind, don't send anybody by, just call an ambulance. If you can't come now, call the medics. [Spoken]
[Note that the single I Love You was released in January of 1968, so Larry likely got the year of the football team story wrong]

step into the madness

Well here’s a song about eh America, but mostly you know Los Angeles. You can help me with this song too, you can sing [Spoken]
This is America [x3]
Just three times. So you’ll be singing like [Spoken]
This is Amer
And I’ll be singing [Spoken]

And you don’t get fooled by that, you just keep singing [Spoken]
This is Amer
Think you got it? You Texans you. OK [Spoken]
And I don't want you to think I think this is going on all over America, I love America. This is just what goes on in Los Angeles. But eh, now that other big cities have the same problems [Spoken]
Step into the madness of a million city streets
Where the dealers sell white powder and children stand and bleed
Where the local gangs are vicious and the cops are so impure
That schoolboys carry uzis so they'll feel secure
Mothers
Where fathers rape their daughters and beat up on their sons
Until the mother tries to stop him and goes and buys a gun
Where the local church is closed except a couple times a week
And turns its face from all the homeless in the street
This is America, this
This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice
Everyone gets justice and liberty
If they got the money
Ba da ba ba ba ba bah bow
Bankers and controllers make deals on foreign shores
The CIA ships heroin to finance their secret wars
They sell the madmen weapons then send soldiers to their land
And in the name of God we battle for all the oil under their sand
Is America, this
This is America, land of the free
Everyone gets justice
And liberty
Yeah if you got the money
Oh if they’ve got the money
Bababababa etc
Step into the madness as a thousand points of light
Illuminate the warheads for the final fight
Step into the madness, say your prayers and drink your tea
Get ready for a kinder, gentler world war three
This is America
This is America
Land of the free
Everyone gets justice
And liberty
If they got the money

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 Randy Stonehill
With his guitar full volume on his amp
He's so crazy but he knows it
I still love him as we both crawl toward the lamp
Clapton on guitar
Charlie Watts on drums, Tsssss [Imitating cymbol]
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Dylan watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside keeps growing
Oh let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing
Yes you did, yes you did
And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if these words do not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, God loves you
And if these songs do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know Jesus loves you
Hmm-hmmm
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 Randy Stonehill
With his guitar full volume on his amp
He's so crazy but he knows it
I still love him as we both crawl toward the lamp
Clapton on guitar
Charlie Watts on drums, Tsssss [Imitating cymbol]
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Dylan watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside keeps growing
Oh let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing
Yes you did, yes you did
And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if these words do not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you
He loves you, God loves you
And if these songs do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know Jesus loves you
Hmm-hmmm
sins of the fathers
I hope you don't mind me singing some new songs. It's really a stress on me to, to try and do it, 'em, but I, I hope it doesn't come across that way. I just thought I wanted to share something special with this particular eh audience.
This is a song about eh families, kind of baggage that could carry invisibly from one generation to the next. Bible says the sins of the fathers are visited even to the third and fourth generations. And eh sometimes we feel certain things, we don’t know what they are. Sometimes we enter into a relationship with somebody else, like friends or eh in a marriage and you feel the presence of other…. other situations, other voices. And you often don’t understand why some, some situations eh come up, why the person acts a certain way. Until you meet their relatives, sometimes that helps. But sometimes we never know, we just need to love one another and forgive each and be patient. Confess your sins one to another, tender hearted, forgiving each other. [Spoken]
