The Ship Song
Come sail your ships around me 
and burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby 
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Everytime you come around

We talked about it all night long
We define our moral ground 
But when I crawl into your arms 
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down

Love You, Hate You
Doctor said I, I'd be alright...
Oh, everything that I believed, it wasn't true
I found it out when I got close to you
I thought you were different, like a dream
Things they ain't never what they seem, whoa...
Thought I could trust you with my soul
But you can't do that anymore
The doctor said I'd be alright, but I still feel blue...
The doctor said I'd be alright, but I still love you...
Love you, hate you...love you, want you...hate you...ah, yeah...

I'm different
Me myself, I'm different than all the rest
I can only speak for myself, but people can trust me

Meaningless/Brass In Pocket Jam
Free the people, oh...got your love, whoa...  (2x)
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel  (2x)
I'm special...'cause I'm gonna make you see...
Nobody loves you, nobody like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me...
'Cause I'm...I'll kick the fuck out of you...

Peaceful times have come and gone, it's time to fuckin' kill somebody
I try, don't blame me...I try, peacefully...
That time has come and gone, now it's just me...
Just me...this means nothin' no more
This don't mean nothin' no more
I don't want to see this no more...
Unless you're ready, less you're ready, to stand behind it...
I don't give a fuck...
Let the words that you say to me...
Unless the actions sustain it
It's meaningless...we're all meaningless...

The world will go on...and we're all meaningless...
The world will spin...we're all meaningless...
I refuse, I refuse, to believe...
We're meaningless, meaningless, we're meaningless, I refuse...
I won't give up, yeah...
Meaningless...we're not meaningless...
We're not invisible...we're meaningless...
If you love someone, tell 'em...
Show them the way that you feel...
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel  (3x)
Oh...

MLK
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down him
So let it be
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on him

My Generation
People try to put us...talkin' 'bout my generation...
Just because we...get around...talkin' 'bout my generation...
Things they do will all go c-c-cold...talkin' 'bout my generation...
Hope I die before I get old...talkin' bout my generation...
My generation...it's my generation, baby...

Why don't ya' all...fuck off...talkin' bout my generation...
Don't try to d-d-dig what we all say...talkin' 'bout my generation...
I'm not tryin' to cause a b-b-big sensation...talkin' 'bout my generation...
Talkin' 'bout my, my, my, my, my, my...generation...
My generation...it's my generation, baby...

My generation...it's my generation, baby...
Why don't ya' all fade away...
Now don't try and dig what we all say... 
I'm not tryin' to cause a b-b-big sensation...
Talkin' 'bout my, my, my, my, my, my...generation...
My generation...my generation, baby...
Talk, talk about, my generation...what about...

Mystery
Yes, it's true...shining wine...
Go on leave with the morning light
My love, on the wing at night she rides
Fade away where the sun cleared out

Yeah...fade away...

Little time in this life...sometime it seems...
Twilight world, dark, living dream
Feel how...say no more, but stay, yeah...
The love you are, always...yeah...

Feel the motion with this song...
Like a river churnin', pullin'...
Ohh...fade away...

You said, "where have you been for a hundred years?"
Out in the sky...you fell beneath...
Turnin' down a road...leads I know not where
Forever turnin' back, yeah...

Feel the motion with this song...
Like a river churnin', pullin'...
Feel the motion with this song...
Like a river...like an...

Once In Our Lives
Once in our life, at least once in our lives
Someone's gonna call you crazy, someone's gonna tell you you're crazy

At least once in your life, for me at least once every day
Someone's gonna call you crazy, someone's gonna say you're crazy

But I know they're the ones, they're the ones
I'm not crazy, they're the ones...

I'm not crazy...  (4x)
They're the ones...

The Part Where I Play The Pope
This is the part where I play...I play the pope...

Feed the people...love the people...
The people got to live, the people got to breath...every day...

You don't meet the people...G-d gave the people bread...
Leave our tired...leave our tired here, yeah...

Be careful with your brother

Patriot
And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday

I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am

Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...

I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...

And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know

And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...

Piece Of Crap
Tried to save the trees, bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out, it was a piece 'a crap...piece of crap...

Wanted an LP, only had CD's
Digitally clean, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Bought myself a can, thought it'd take me far
The dealer was a liar, he was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Got it from my friend, on him you can depend
I found out in the end, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

I'm trying to save the trees, I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down to build a piece of crap...piece of crap...

Picked up a magazine to read about the scene
It didn't tell me beans, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...

I went back to the store, they gave me four more
The guy told me at the door it was a piece of crap...
It was a piece of crap...
