When it all comes down to it
And you see the later days
Only one thing really matters anymore
Just how smart can you be
When it starts changing all around you
Can you make your way out
When there are strangers all around you.
Even if you can’t find the door.

Merica Want’s It”s Hat Back
We are what we are
I am what I am
You are who you are
Yet we are the same
Indians
Taken from the forest to the desert land
lying face down in the sand I thought I was dreaming.
White man wants the gold, the oldest story ever told.
An in the end my people would die.
Son don’t ever trust a white man
He’ll burn you home and take your land
He will leave you face down in the desert to die.
On May 28, 1830 the Indian Removal Act
was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson.
Edge
I could just drop at any second,
Cause I’m living right on the limit.
Got to stand up and keep movin on.
This world a lot of angry got to crack a smile
It Ain’t no matter what they do or what they say
My life happens anyway so just as long as I am standing
I’m going to stay up late and rock it all night long.
We See you
We see you Donnie.
We see what your trying to do.
Divide a conqure,
Has been your whole life through.
You lied with laughter,
Never thought it through.
You made a disaster.
Now the people pay for you.
Why
Woke with a dream in the back of my head
About 50 years ago
A runaway band in a greyhound station
a misfit traveling show
No Destination couldn’t go home
No real place to go
Run away in the dead of the night
Begin a life out on the road
Why did I run
Why did I cry
No place to go
No wings to fly
Daddy’s back from a war
With those voices in his head
An Angry man filled with pride
A broken family man
Was it wrong the children ask
He keeps it inside
The kids just see the brutality
And then the angels cried
Why did he fight
Why did they die
No legs to run
And No wings to fly
Where do they go
When the church bells ring
Why they don’t laugh
Why they don’t sing no more
I ran out the door
I ran out the door
Why did they fight
Why did they fight
Why did they die
Why did they die
No legs to run
No Wings to fly
Where do they go
When the church bells ring
Why they don’t laugh
Why they don’t sing no more
No more they sing
Why did I run
Why did I fight
No place to go
No Wings to fly
The World
The World is on fire.
It just keeps burning.
Freedom is a desire,
You can never keep it down.
Hollywood
I never did make it to Hollywood
I never got that Nashville dream.
Strange I turned up playing an old guitar
on some deserted sunny beach.
I could cry about the dreams I missed
If I only had a little more time
But the moon is rising as the sun sets low
So I got to build a bonfire
and pour another glass of wine.
Running
Find the silence if you think you can
It’s not so easy anymore
I used to care so much about
Which road I ran
But I’m not running anymore.
I wanted to be some kind of a hero
It just did not come to pass
Maybe some kind of a rock star
But it was not in my path.
I ran the back roads like everyone else
I never had much fear of dying.
It would not matter if you cry or run
We all have just so much time.
I escaped it once before in my past
But it will be back around.
I just hope when it finds me
I’m wide awake
If it sneaks up from behind.
Moon
I am a child of the moon
I just stay in my room
I play soft music loud
I don’t fit with the crowd.
