1. COMPASSION

Get it on...

As zero point approaches
And the fields around you drop
Thoughts become reality
And it feels like time has stopped
When all that's on the radio
Is electromagnetic pop
Steady your teeth are gnashin'

Compassion
Get it on
Compassion
Right on

When love for the greater number freezes over and cools
Everyone around you acts like a bloody fool
No sanctity to the left of you no righteousness to the right
The only thing that's left in fashion

Compassion
Get it on
Compassion

Whatever skin you're in, we all need to be friends
All happy again, it's so much better than nothing
Everybody can win, with a little faith in man
Beginning of an end and start up a brand new something

When ego, fear and judgement become the rule of law
Watch the polar ice caps heat up, melt down and thaw
When the greedy one forgets that he's the reason for it all
The only goal/gold that's [..] in passion

Compassion
Get it on
Compassion
Right on

When no love can be found
Nature will rise against nature and get down

Whatever skin you're in, we all need to be friends
All happy again, it's so much better than nothing
Everybody can win, with a little faith in man
Beginning of an end and start up a brand new something

If you got compassion
Let's get back in fashion
The new international anthem

Whatever skin you're in, we all need to be friends
All happy again, it's so much better than nothing
Everybody can win, with a little faith in man
Beginning of an end and start up a brand new something


2. BEGINNING ENDLESSLY

Nevermind the bird feed honey, just tell me your name
You wont have that long if I get my way in this game
My reputation precedes me, call it claim to fame
They know me around the world, you want me just the same

Why should you be satisfied with just heaven and earth?
When if you look around there's so much more to the universe
Maybe every shining star, is just another part
If you and I could ever open up our dirty hearts

(Oh! Open up baby. Oh. Hey-hey ...)

Listen

All of us in minerals and chemicals of space
You cary within your womb, that's how we got to this place
This might be a bit serious, but if it turns you on
Come with me now let's get nice till serious is gone

Why should you be satisfied with just heaven and earth?
When if you look around there's so much more to the universe
Maybe every shining star, is just another part
If you and I could ever open up our dirty hearts

(Oh! Come on! Oh! Oh. Get nice.)

Love is much to small a word for what you feel for me
If you ever let me explore your anatomy
You and I lost in each other prisoners let free
Come on Darlin' let's get down beginning endlessly

(Uh uh. Let's get down! Uh uh. Beginning endlessly
Uh uh. Let's get down! Whooh!)

Come on! You see that I want ya. Ooh wee!
Come on! Can't you see that I want ya. Feel me now!

History is full of praise for another's history
More and more than the one that became before both u and me
Left alone with our devices, whatever will be will be

A brand new story in the making beginning endlessly

(Oh!)

Love is much to small a word,for what you feel for me
(Feel for me)
If ever you you let me be, let me be your man
Ooh baby! Understand. I wanna I wanna be your man
(Get on down!)
(Come on!)
(Ah, ah-ah)
(Come on! Come on!)
(Ah, ah-ah)
(Oh! Oh!)


3. FUTURE SOUL SONG

I had a dream last night
That I was flying for the first time
And in the dream I could pilot my flight
With the thoughts in my mind

Since there wasn't any up or down
Everybody was all around
When we sang, we all sang together
Oh, what a beautiful sound

Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song
Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song

I had a dream last night
That I was singing and the sound of my voice
Seemed to come from every mountain top
Like it had no choice

And when my voice rose, so did the sun
When the trees sang the harmony as one
Every living soul sang the most beautiful
Melody ever sung

Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song
Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song

Before the war the only words and language said
Let there be light
Those that can see it are the ones who believe it
And put up no fight

And in the absence of fear and control
Is the sound of the surrendering soul
Louder than the dogmatic persecution
I sing it like you got that right

Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song
Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song

Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
Ooh, ooh, sha la la la la
This is the future soul song


4. STICKY LIKE GLUE

Wheels go down
There but I'm loving another dream of you
All night long
Out of town
I had to go but now I need a cup of some

Black and strong
Beside me
I was used to waking up with you here
Now you're gone
Why oh why
Didn't you hurry along with me this time?

Right or wrong
As a matter of fact, I can't stop thinking about you, baby
When we're together, everything is cool
Beautiful, lover, friend

I'll never leave you again
You and me, we're sticky like glue
Bright blue eyes
Staring down into mine saying,Good morning,
How are you?
I can't lie

Waking up in a plane without a warning
Ain't too cool
Cast ashore
Without a paddle and no more excuses
We just drown
What's the score?
If you're still willing to lose then
Come around
As a matter of fact, I just can't live without you, baby
I'm wondering if you feel the same way, too
I'm hugging this pillow tight

The way we did last night
The sweat of each other sticky like glue
Sticky, sticky. 1,2...
That was the coolest movie ever
The one we saw last night
The closer you got to me, the less we saw, alright

The scene you remember most is none of 'em
That ain't a boast, girl
I'm just in front of them others
I am a gracious host
Everybody under me, make a toast
As a matter of fact, I can't stop thinking about you, baby
When we're together, everything is cool
Beautiful, lover, friend
I'll never leave you again

You and me, we're sticky like glue
Break down...
I got something I wanna say to you, baby
You might wanna dig me later
I think you better dig me now
Listen..I can't get to sleep unless your body is right here next to me

It's crazy, baby
I know it's dysfunctional, but I just can't see myself with another girl
Oh, what in the world is wrong with me?
Tell me what to do

Is it me or you?
We fight so much, and then we're through
It might come as a shock to you
But I still love you. Yes, I do.

Don't you think I ain't when I am
One more thing and then I'm out
You get us wet with your pride
Then you hang us both outside to cry cry

What's that sound?
Said it must be raining raining tears tears tears
But you need to try. Please, please don't cry
Cause I ain't going nowhere.


5. ACT OF GOD

Dirty fat banker sold a house today
Sold in auction wants the family out the way
Kick them on the street, cause he couldn't pay the tax
Call it an act of God

I Get a million dollars people hear me sang
Gotta give the banker half of everythang
Didn't the founding fathers holler about the same thang
(Yes They Did)
Call it an act of God

But I got news for you
Freedom ain't free
They lock you in a cell if you try to be
But the worlds would say no, make history
Call it an act of God
(Act Of God)

Tax dollars build a plane drop a bomb
Supposedly to keep us all safe from Saddam
Bringing bad news to another woman
Call it an Act of God

But I got news for you
Freedom ain't free
They lock you in a cell if you try to be
But the worlds would say no, make history
Call it an act of God
(Act Of God)

Funny how nobody's holy books are the same
Everybody's God got a different name
The day that it's over is the end of the game
And they call it an act of God

Hey, it will be all over when the people are fee
Free to be who and what they want to be
Wherever we go it's up to you and me
Call it an act of God

We so tired said we through with fear
There never was no hell or boogie man here
If he was seen look he was in your mirror
Call it an act of God

Call it whatcha want except an act of God
Call it whatcha you want except an act of God
Call it whatcha you want except an act of God

Call it an act of God
Oh Lord

Call it whatcha you want except an act of God
Call it whatcha you want except an act of God
Call it whatcha you want except an act of God
Call it whatcha you want except an act of God
Call it whatcha you want except an act of God


6. LAVAUX

Take me to the vineyards of Lavaux
Wanna see the mountains where the waters flow
Life back home depresses me, just another form of slavery
The cost of freedom is anything but free

I don't care if they are covered with snow
I don't care if the road is narrow, if it is I'll know
It was always meant to be, still in love I must believe
Whatever path I choose will lead me home
Lead me home, Lavaux

Take me to the streets of Portugal
That might be my destiny to see the waterfall
Tears or rain, they're all the same
The only way to win this game
To let everybody play and share the ball

There ain't nobody got no chains on me
I'm flying higher than any mountain, deeper than any sea
A paradox is box's key, I'm the why in mystery
You're gonna unlock the secrets if you please

Come take me to an assembly in New York
To speak of the brand new everlasting wonder war
To win or lose is so absurd
And the only casualty is the word, the word

Revolution time has come today
'Cause it took a black face to see the same decay
Like the chocolate of Vavey, in the sun they'll melt away
As for me, I'll laugh and go to the mountains where the waters flow
Back to the vineyards of Lavaux

Lavaux
Lavaux
Lavaux
Lavaux


7. WALK IN SAND

After a long journey, the final mile
Wish that we walk together all the while
After a mild labor, we both smile
All of that we lost, both of us in denial

'Cause nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you
Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you

Another sun is rising
To bed with no delay
The both of us go despising
Not enough time to play

Memories come and then they go
Somewhere far away
Why can't we just get lost together
And spend each and every day doing it?

Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you
Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you

Walk in sand

We have danced with royalty
And pimps of the like
You can't please everybody
But such is a life

If there was only one thing
In this world that were true
Nothing's better in this world
Than to walk in sand with you

Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you
Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you

Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you
Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you

Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you
Nothing's better than to walk in sand
Hand in hand with you


8. SEA OF EVERYTHING

I see your picture wherever I go
I'm not here to lecture, just letting you know
I know you're busy, the world's calling you
If you don't answer what will you do?

You wander the wilderness
Searching for a king
Will you settle for a prince
And a sea of everything?

I read your letter, every word
No one writes better, at least none that I've heard
You sound so happy or is this a charade?
Will you still feel the same when the spotlight fades?

Will you wander the wilderness
Searching for a king?
Will you settle for a prince
And a sea of everything?

You and me are like two ships passing
Never reaching shore
If we ever, ooh, if we ever did
We'd just want more

No reason to care what people say
For the keys are so far, so far, so far away
No need to say, no need
To say I'd die without you, without you
Because I made, I made, what will you do?

Will you wander the wilderness
Searching for a king
Or will you settle for this
And a sea of everything?

Will you wander the wilderness
Searching, searching for a king
Or will you settle for this
And a sea of everything?

I see your picture wherever I go
I'm not here to lecture, just letting you know
I know you're busy, the world's calling you


9. EVERYBODY LOVES ME

Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me
The beat you're giving is the rhythm of life
Everybody get happy

If you really come to party
This is the place to be
Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me

Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

Tonight the stars are out
There's music in the air
The sounds of joy and celebration
Are drowning out despair

If you're the king of hate
Or if you're the queen of misery
Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me

Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

This party's sick
Get the police quick
Don't let them shut us down

Don't do it
No
Rock it

Tonight I love everybody
That's right, everyone
I don't care what you came here for
As long as you have fun

Everybody get free
Everybody get free
Everybody love me

There ain't no shame
In having a good time
There's only us to blame
If we make it up right
Oh, I ain't lying

There ain't nothing to it
But to do it
There ain't nothing to it
But to do it

Shake it like you don't know better
Woop de woop
Shake it like you don't know better
Woop de woop

There ain't nothing to it
But to do it

Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Me

Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Me

Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

There ain't nothing to it
But to do it
There ain't nothing to it
But to do it
There ain't nothing to it
But to do it

Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me
Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me

Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me
Tonight I love everybody
Everybody loves me
