1. Who Knows





They don't know
They don't know
Like i know
Like i know
Do you know
They don't know
I don't know
I don't know
What my baby
What my baby
Put on down
Put on down
What my baby
What my baby
I just came back from
I don't know
I can't count it
I can't count it
I just can't find this town
They don't know
I'm lookin' for my seller
I don't know my baby
Have you seen her
Have you freed her yeah
Have you seen her
Oooh hhhooo
Talkin' about my baby
Goin' down
Talkin' about my baby
I just came in
I just came in baby
I just came in
I just came in
Spread the magic baby
all in my bed
She got chains, attached to my head
Talkin' about
Talkin' about
Talkin' about my baby
I don't know about it
They don't know what i know
They don't know like i know
All the time i've been hangin' around
All the time i hang around
She didn't know
Ha she didn't care
She didn't know
She didn't care
And she go walkin' down the street singin'
Everybody die
Da da dada da doo doo
They don't know
Nobody knows
They don't know
Just don't know
Da da da






2. Machine Gun






Machine Gun
Tearing my body all apart

Machine Gun, yeah
Tearing my body all apart

Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though we're only families apart

Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
(You know what I mean)
Hey! And your bullets keep knocking me down

Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground

The same way you shoot me down, baby
You'll be going just the same
Three times the pain,
and your own self to blame
Hey, Machine Gun

I ain't afraid of your mess no more, babe
I ain't afraid no more
After a while, your, your cheap talk don't even cause me pain,
so let your bullets fly like rain

'Cause I know all the time you're wrong baby
And you'll be going just the same
Yeah, Machine Gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah, yeah, alright
Tearing my family apart

(Don't you shoot him down)
(He's 'bout to leave here)
(Don't you shoot him down)
(He's got to stay here)
(He ain't going nowhere)
(He's been shot down to the ground)
(Oh where he can't survive, no, no)

Yeah, that's what we don't wanna hear anymore, alright?
(No bullets) At least here, huh huh
(No guns, no bombs) Huh huh
(No nothin', just let's all live and live)
(You know, instead of killin')

May this be
Love or just
Confusion Born out of frustration wracked
feelings - of not being able to
make true physical love to the
Universal gypsy Queen
True, free expressed music
Darling guitar please rest.
Amen

4. Power Of Soul






(Spoken:)
Shoot down some of those airplanes your flyin',
specially the ones that are flyin' too low (repeat 2 times)

Come on back up to earth my friend
Come on back up with me
We've all been up through the night time, baby
Now let's read the rays of the ???

With the power of soul
Anything is possible (repeat 2 times)

Flyin' too much today
It's so groovy to float around sometimes
Even a jellyfish will agree to that

Yeah, but that old jellyfish
been floatin' around so long
Lord, he ain't got a bone
in his jelly back
Floatin' everyday and every night
Ridin' high is a risk
Sometimes the wind ain't right

With the power of soul
Anything is possible
With the power of you
Anything you wanna do
