Saints and Sinners (P. Bamburak) I can’t believe That you have the answers for me You say I’m wrong You say I’m too blind to see But I know I’m a human being Being alive Being me Why should I feel Guilty for what I say Or think I’d want it no other way Because if your reward is perfection For Eternity I’d rather be Free Free to fall And lift myself up again Free to fight For what I really believe in It’s not the end of the journey That holds its special place It’s the thrill of the chase Why do we kill Because you don’t feel like I feel What could I save you from If I can’t be sure my answer’s real Why trade our blood For what I say belongs to me It’ll be my grave What did I save Time is flowing There’s a fear to meet one’s own end Because we need to know Where our lives are headed Where there can be no answers becomes the home of Faith And that’s a dangerous place They want you to think The things they think are right They want you to give Then you will see the light But the soldiers of God have done nothing but reap misery They don’t want freedom They want conformity Sin is a lie Sin is a tool To manipulate desire to make you feel like a fool No evil comes from free thought But that’s what we’re taught Hell is right here So is heaven too It’s what you make of your life That determines which one you walk through We have a government that wants to legislate morality How can this be If they’re human like me It’s a chain Forged from the first moment of your life As the years go by The chain grows longer When something is so deep rooted It becomes hard to escape Its power grows stronger The time is now To take a stand And demand The freedom our country pretends to believe in We’re no children who must be spoon-fed our whole lives What my mother believes What my father believes Is not mine What the saints believe What the sinners believe Is not mine Holy Mountain (P. Bamburak) So young so frail Can you hear me It’s so cold where you lie Torn from mother’s arms Can you see me Where did you fly And I’m afraid we’ve lost our why And I don’t know if it’s right But a nation’s heart beats that way To trade a mile for a life It’s not where we’re going Just a thing of the state we’re in And it’s not worth trying To find a cause that’s worth the killing And all the tears won’t wash away The visions caught in the mind Sometimes things turn out that way Leave the innocent behind And it’s dark Hear my voice Calling to you Stand up And rejoice I’m coming to get you I’m coming to get you I’m coming No more fighting No more war No more children to die No more hunger No more pain No more lost in the night I know what I’m living for And I know it’s right Don’t need a Holy Mountain to know The answer lies in the mind No more will I be afraid No more will I hide There’s a change coming your way And it’s before your eyes Change (P. Bamburak) The time has come to stand up and shout Tell the world what it’s all about Some things in life just can’t rearrange I think it’s time for a change Now take a look and tell me how You’d change this world here and now Seems the answer is locked up and caged I think it’s time to turn the page Change Coming your way Change I’ve got a better way Change Coming your way today Ooh baby baby it don’t take much To turn your hate into love Love’ll be the power to guide your way I think it’s time to turn the page Machine (P. Bamburak) I can voice no opposition I am receiving your transmission I am changing my position I don’t want a revolution Your words subjugate your brothers You are one above all others You take our children from their mothers Strip our flag of all its colors Can’t get away Can’t get away From the machine I have breathed my last breath Another life another death You can have what is left You’re the match that we have lit Can’t get away Can’t get away From the machine Ugly Song (R. Medvedz, P. Bamburak, J. Gutsick) I'm gonna go buy myself an ugly car And you will drive with me And we will go real far And in my ugly car I will go pick you up And you will drive with me And we will be happy. I’m gonna go buy myself an ugly suit And I will take out And get some Chinese food. And in my ugly suit, I will blend right in With the ugly food at Ho Chi Mihn’s. I’m gonna go buy myself some ugly shoes Five sizes too big and they will be real loose And I can strut around in my big wingtips And you can strut with me in case I trip I’m gonna go buy myself an ugly house And I will share it with an ugly mouse And the neighbors think that it’s ugly, too Cause I painted it red, white, and blue I’m gonna go buy myself an ugly dog And we will go out jogging in the ugly fog With my ugly dog he’ll go fetch a stick When he brings it back he will do some tricks I’m gonna go write myself an ugly song And I will sing it for you so you can sing along About my ugly dog and my ugly shoes And my ugly house and my ugly suit		Bloodbath (R. Medvedz, P. Bamburak, J. Gutsick) Hours and hours I spend in pursuit I’m nothing alone I’ve got to find you I can’t forget all the things that you said And the way that you screamed when we found that man dead At first no one noticed or then so it seemed Almost made our escape until somebody screamed It’s the end you said while the wailing woman bled It’s the end you said we’ve been caught with our hands red Bloodbath Fall asleep and bathe for hours Bloodbath More relaxing than blood showers If I could only see I’d see the trouble I’m in When the body count hits three I see the trouble you’ve been When the lights come back on I see the pointy fingered man Accuse me of the horrors now there’s blood on my hands More than just squeamish More than simply sick When I feel you pull the trigger and it makes a soft click Then my conscience it swells And my mind it is racing When someone else yells I start running and running When I turn a sharp corner you’re right on my heels And you rant and rave about how good it feels I stop to catch my breath heard the last words you said You told me I was naïve before you turned and fled Then I was left stranded when all this trouble started Bloodied and dirtied and broken hearted Hours and hours I spend in pursuit I’m nothing alone I’ve got to find you I come across a gun in a dead man’s hand In a blind dark alley so I grabbed it and ran I stopped when I heard your footsteps drawing nearer Now I can’t even think and I’m frozen in fear When out of the alley a figure arises Almost pull the trigger till I notice your eyes It’s the same look you gave me the night we first met Before it all went wrong Before it all went red I doubt your sincerity when you start to come near me I point the gun at you but you do not fear me What can I do torn between love and murder I point the gun to my head and I pull the trigger But I hear no gunshot and I feel no release I run out of the alley yelling let me be Arrive at my home and run into the shower So warm and so safe I stay in it for hours When I finally finished removing the red I open the door to find you waiting in bed It could mean love or it could mean death Either way I’m released from this terrible mess After the night had been drained and spent I woke up alone never saw you again Now all the memories are haunting me constantly Asking myself is this what I wanted to be Political Life (R. Medvedz) Walking down Main Street in the dark Saw a Senator and some girl in the back of a Cadillac Stopped to talk to some Hasidic Jews Got home in time to see the Senator on the evening news Politics has gone to the birds It’s all just words stupid words Talking to a cop under a stop sign Said I really couldn’t have stopped in time Mrs. Jone’s Yugo had a hell of a dent And she blamed it all on the government My friend was shot by a five year old Fascist landlord keeps the apartment so cold I don’t know what this country’s coming to Please take me away from here with you I can’t take it anymore It’s time for me to go straight out the door See Ya The Way Goes On (P. Bamburak) Well time goes by and I’ve grown Leaves me to wonder where the time has flown Been on the winning and the losing sides But I’ve learned from my mistakes I’ve never compromised And I’m just the man For a woman like you Don’t have to tell you I’ll show you the things I can do Don’t ever think that you’ve done wrong Cause through you and me the way goes on The way goes on The way goes on The way goes on The way goes on I hope when I grow old I don’t dream about lost days I hope you and me don’t go our separate ways Cause I can still love you when I’m old and gray When you’re having fun the years just slip away Don’t worry about me cause I sure know You look away when the wind blows So I’m not wasting time Leaving my love on the side Cause it’s a natural impulse that can’t be denied So listen to me now I speak the truth Don’t ever let go of the passion of youth It’ll be your power to guide your way It’ll keep you strong when you turn the page When you think that you’re run through Open your eyes cause it’s inside of you A burning fire deep in your heart A tell-tale sign that sets you apart 74 Words (R. Medvedz) Love is an energy Time is an agony Love is a harmony Time is monotony I sit and I wait for the world to turn around And I hear all the sounds of the people as they shout I sit and I wait for the world to turn around And I hear all the sounds of the people as they shout Love is an energy Time is an agony Love is a harmony Time is monotony I sit and I wait for the world to make me cry And I hear all the sounds of the people as they die I sit and I wait for the world to make me cry And I hear all the sounds of the people as they die Love is and energy Time is an agony Love is a harmony Time is monotony I sit and I wait for the world to make me laugh Worlds Apart (P. Bamburak) I love you but I can never have you We’re from two different worlds we can never have our way I love you but I can never hold you I can’t understand why it has to be That our love can’t break through A wall we can’t see I can’t understand why I can never touch you You’re right next to me but you’re a world away You’re so close to me and I feel you wish we could run away I love you but I can never kiss you We could conquer our fear and just disappear But I can’t ask you to leave your life behind But I want you leave Oh I wish you were mine I wish you were mine I need you and I know you need me Why did we discover each other to find our lives this way You fill me to the point of breaking Why can’t we just be you and me And not what the world pretends to see Leave our cultures behind and find the love in our hearts In our minds You could never change her It would take away her special charm But she’s gold and you want her But the softest touch could do the greatest harm I love you and I hope you love me Despite the pain we both feel down inside I love you and I’d never hurt you I don’t want you to turn the other way Because it’s hard not to run away I just hope that you know You will always be a part of me
