1. SONG WITHOUT SIN

Your more interesting when you're lying
What ever you're selling I ain't buying
If there's someone out there without
Let them cast the first stone
If there's someone out there without sin
We can all go home

I don't believe in what your preaching
And you can't control what I'm feeling
If theres someone out their without sin
We can all go home

Let's go out tonight
We can hide in plain sight
We can change our names, and never go home
And we'll never see the sun
If theres someone out their without it
Let them cast the first stone
If theres someone out there without sin
We can all go home

If theres someone out their without it
Let them cast the first stoned
If theres someone out there without sin
We can all go home
We can all go home
We can all go home
We can all go home


2. A? OF WHEN

Where will we go?
Where will we go?
Where will we go?
How will we know?

Where can we hide?
Where can we hide?
Where can we hide?
From the inside

Where will we go?
Where will we go?
Where will we go?
How will we know?

Where can we hide?
Where can we hide?
Where can we hide?
From the inside

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do you

Who will be next?
Who will it be?
Who will be next?
Will it be me?

Who will be next?
Who will it be?
Who will be next?
It won't be me

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do you

Who do you love?
Who do you hate?
Who do you love?
Who's at the gate?

Who do you love?
Who do you hate?
Who do you love?
Who's at the gate?

Can it happen again?
Can it happen again?
Not a question of if
But a question of when

Can it happen again?
Can it happen again?
Not a question of if
But a question of when

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do

See, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue
And neither do you


3. OPERATION: MIND CONTROL

Day of repetition, in this shadow factory
It doesn't look much like freedom to me
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control

Just try on this straight jacket, of conformity
While we force feed you propaganda, on the state TV
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul

Your under 24 hour surveillance
By the satellite spies
We'll always be watched by
The all seeing eye

In God we Trust
What's the matter with you
What's the matter with you
Behold a pale Horse!)
In God we Trust (
What's the matter with you
What's the matter with you
Behold Oblivion
In God we Trust
What's the matter with you, this is mind control
In God we Trust
You better get behind, get in line
It's death in repetition

The shadow factory
Doesn't look much like living to me
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul, rise up

Now put on this straight jacket of conformity
Fault of a nation, that's brought biology
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul


4. FLYING

I jumped out of the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down
Never in my life have I felt a heat so hot
I had to get out

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky is so clear, the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing

I was gathering up my nerve to ask out Carmen
She glanced out of the window, oh my God!
The room, it went away, now we're holding hands
Just not the way I planned

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky is so clear, the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing, funny thing

I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky is so clear, the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing, funny thing

Such a funny thing, funny thing, funny thing
Such a terrible funny thing


5. IN YOUR NAME

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name

We've got our anger and rage
To send you back from where you came
We are hurting you to heal you
And we're doin' it in your name

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name

We're the righteous and true
You're the unholy, profane
We are fighting for your freedom
And we do it in your name

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name, yeah

We are the victims of privilege
You're the one to blame
We hate you, you hate us
We all feel the same

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name, yeah


6. BACK IN BLACK

Back in black, I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm let loose from the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I been living like a star 'cause it's getting me high
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Abusing every one of them and running wild

'Cause I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

Back in a band, I got Cadillac,
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes I'm in a band with a gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beating the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now, I'm just a making my pay
Don't try to push your luck, just get outta my way

'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back! Yeah, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back

7. NIGHTMARE CITY

Let the children go, let the children go
Let the children go, let the children go
Nobody knows the trouble she's seen

Let the children go, let the children go
She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real
Let the children go, let the children go

In this brutal system that knows no pity
Living in nightmare city
In this urban battle field, she knows no barricade
With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
Living in nightmare city, living in nightmare city

Let the children go, let the children go
Nobody knows the trouble she's seen
Let the children go, let the children go
She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real

Here come the crawling politicians on their ghetto safari
Living in nightmare city
In this urban battle field she lives in smoke and haze
With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
Living in nightmare city, living in nightmare city

Let the children go, let the children go
Nobody knows the trouble she's seen
Let the children go, let the children go
She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real

She speaks without saying a word
She screams without being heard
Living in nightmare city

She speaks without saying a word
She screams without being heard
Living in nightmare city

Let the children go, let the children go
Let the children go, let the children go
Nobody knows the trouble I see

Let the children go, let the children go
She is, she's my ghetto queen
Let the children go, let the children go

Let the children go, let the children go
She's my ghetto queen, for real
Let the children go, let the children go
She's my ghetto queen

Let the children go, let the children go
She's my ghetto queen, for real
Let the children go, let the children go
For real, for real
Let the children go, let the children go
She's my ghetto queen


8. LOST HALO

How'd you come to live among freaks angel
You fill this place with timeless grace
You blind us, come with heaven light
Without your wings you'd through the night

Where'd you leave your halo angel
Is it underneath the devil's bed
Did you lose it among the stars
Or is it circling my heart torn apart

Where angels feel the same
Your warning and your sign
Of love and care be mine, be mine, be mine

Where will you go when you leave my angel
To the gutter or to heaven's gate
But when St. Peter sees that look, he sees that knowledge in your eye
Will it tell you then that it's much too late

Well, is it much too late
Angel, is it much too late

Where are you going
Don't you leave
I love, I love, I love you, oh

Don't you go
Please, don't you go
Please, please, don't you go
Don't you, don't you go
Don't you go, don't you go

Please, don't go, angel, angel
Please, please, please, don't go

(No lyrics available)


12. POCKET OF TEARS

Stars shine when no one is watching
I scream and nobody hears
I've hurt and cried and made my way
And no one has to see my tears

And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground

I've lived and died and nobody noticed
My suffering is nobody's blame
Love and hate forever existed
Everyday it's all just the same

And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground

Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears

I caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing
Caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing at all

Flowers will still bloom without
The sun will shine when you're gone
The wind will blow on without her
And we still will all go on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

And the world spins around and around
And the world spins around and around
Throwing stones, throwing stones and on


13. SACRED GROUND

How many times must we tell them
Are they never gonna learn

How many times must we tell them
Are they never gonna learn
This is sacred ground, sacred ground

How many times must we tell them
Are they never gonna learn
This is sacred ground, sacred ground

For all those trying to make a stand,
Fighting to save their
Tribal land, for all those trying to make a stand,
Dying to protect their tribal land
For all those dying to protect their tribal land

Rainbow warriors, Chico Mendez
All the dissidents that they tried to suppress

How many more martyrs
Must there be will this be our poisoned
legacy how many times must us tell them
Are they never gonna learn
This is sacred ground, sacred ground
How many times we must tell them
Are they never gonna learn
This sacred ground, sacred ground

For those who lie before the bulldozers
And chainsaws
Battling the devouring megacorps
Here they come with their cash draws grins
Vampires, parasites and vermin

How many times must we tell you
Are they never gonna learn
This sacred ground, sacred ground
How many times must we tell you
Are you never gonna learn
This sacred ground, sacred ground

How many times
How many times


14. TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS

Turn off your mind, relax
And float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
Color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
Existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
