1. WHY NOT NOTHING

I aint got time for your politics
Or your masqueraded machavellian tricks
Goodbye, you know I aint got time

Don’t deny it its abuse of the cross
Lets get some of god squad in the dock where they belong
Ah where’s your song

Its a- I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice don’t let them treat you like a fool
Hey babe, I’m gonna look you in the eye
That’s when we started singing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing

Tonight I need survival through your everyday
Who the fuck are you when you take that mask away
Friend I don’t know, where do we go

I do not know what’s real on the screen
Hollywood’s directing world war 3
What’s going on, pass me the gun

I know that you are wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice don’t let them treat you like a fool
Hey babe, I’m gonna look you in the eye
That is when we started singing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing

I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice don’t let them treat you like a fool
Hey babe, I’m gonna look you in the eye
That is when we started singing

Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing
Why not, why not nothing

I know that your wrong you gotta learn the way you do
Take my advice don’t let them treat you like a fool
Hey babe, I’m gonna look you in the eye
That is when we started singing

Why not nothing
Why not nothing
Why not nothing
Why not nothing


2. MUSIC IS POWER

Music is power, let it flow through your mind
Your just like a flower, yeah in the deep sunshine

Are you invited, to the party of life
Well now you've decided, do you live till you die

These are wild wild wild days we live in
Yes I know sometimes you all wanna give in
These are strange strange vein days of living
Yeah I know sometimes you all wanna give in

Don't give up, oh no, alright
Let the melody flow, all night, all night

Cause Music is power, its easing your soul
Rocking like a cradle, yeah it won't let you go

If the melody's timeless, oh it won't let you down
You can feel the air moving, submit to the sound...

In these wild wild wild days you live in
Yes I know sometimes you all wanna give in
These are strange strange vein days of living
I know sometimes you all wanna give in

Don't give up, oh no, alright
Let the melody flow, all night, all night

After all we go through, oh being in this crowd
Backdays good fortune, yeah all things you'll find

Cause Music is a mad drug, unwinding your head
Music is a question, to things unsaid

These wild wild wild days you live in
Yeah I know sometimes you all wanna give in
These are strange strange vein days of living
I know sometimes that you just don't fit in

Don't give in, don't give up, don't pack it up, stop cracking up
Let the song, carry you on and keep you strong

Don't wanna control you
Cause Music is power, submit to the sound


3. BREAK THE NIGHT WITH COLOUR

Fools they think I do not know, the road I'm taking
If you meet me on the way, hesitating
That is just because I know which way I will choose

The corridors of discontent, that I've been travelling
On the lonely search for truth, the world's so frightening
Nothing's going right today, ‘cause nothing ever does

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

Love this life if you get a little light
Love this life if you get a little light
Love this life if you get a little light
Love this life if you get a little light

Monday morning coming down, lack understanding
Mama thinks you are the clown, you are looking so frightening
Nothing's going right today, ‘cause nothing ever does

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Time for me to break my cover
Time for me to move ahead

You think of giving it up, here we go again
You think of giving it up, here they come again

I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Let's break the night with colour
Time for us to move ahead
I said I don't wanna know your secrets
They lie heavy on my head
Time, let's break the night with colour
Time for me to move ahead

You think of giving it up


4. WORDS JUST GETS IN THE WAY

When you've given all you've got
And you're feeling overcome
When your back's against the wall
There's no one left to call, call me

When you're head is so full
And you feel misunderstood
And the fear is coming fast
You think you're time has past
You say why me, why me

If you want it
You know I've got it
Words they just get in the way
If you want it
Oh yeah I've got it
Words they just get in the way
Words they just get in the way
In the way

When you're feeling like you've lost
When all you're hope is gone
And the bridge above the river
Is only the beginning of your fall

If you want it
Oh yeah I've got it
Words they just get in the way
If you want it
Oh yeah I've got it
Words they just get in the way
Words they just get in the way

Sing it to me now
All my life in the way
ABC all the way
Since I was a child
Words they drive me wild


5. KEYS TO THE WORLD

Institutions, you went through them
Oh from the age of five

And no one loved you
Cared if you lived or you die

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Fell through the net no one to catch you

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Perhaps I could make it better

I got the keys to the world girl
Mixed up world
I got the keys to the world girl
Suicidal world
I got the keys to world girl
Oh mixed up world
I got the keys to the world girl
What you gonna do when we get there when we get there

Confrontations, you expect them
Oh, if someone never loves

And there is no point in fighting
The truth is they'll never return

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Fell through the net no one to catch you

Here we go again
In your room your idol pleasures
The sinking sands
Perhaps I could make it better

I got the keys to the world girl
Mixed up world
I got the keys to the world girl
What we gonna do when we get there
I got the keys to world girl
Oh suicidal world
I got the keys to the world girl
What you gonna do when we get there when we get there

What will be will be


6. SWEET BROTHER MALCOLM

Sweet brother Malcolm, he's under house arrest,
It’s the talk of the town, who'd of thought it of him

Sweet cousin Mary, no blood in her veins,
She had so much, now nothing remains.

When it all comes crashing down
And the press move in to town
Bring all floral words wrapped in cellophane

Sweet little tony, where'd it all go wrong
He hit the wall, singing his favorite song

When it all comes crashing down
And the press move in to town
Bring all floral words wrapped in cellophane
Watch them move out as fast as they came
Leave the broken hearted with their pain.

Sweet brother Malcolm, he's under house arrest
It’s the talk of the town, who'd of thought it of him

Sweet angel Mary, no blood in her veins
Where is this life, madness remains
Where there is life madness will reign
Madness will reign


7. CRY TILL THE MORNING

First time that I ever saw her
Knew nothing would ever be the same
Sweet love in the process
There were things I needed to explain

Yeah you didn't play with my feelings
Like the others with their games
You said it's time to do some bleeding
Time to cry the past away

Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
We just cry till the morning
Cry like never before

First place I never quite asked her
Those peaches faded on your wall
Those family members
Sometimes they've just got to call

Sweet love in the process
And solitude in love combined
Have you got an address
Some place new that we can find

So we can cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry like never before

Cry till the morning
Yeah we cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning

Come on cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry till the morning
Cry like never before


8. WHY DO LOVERS ?

Come now baby
Stay in bed, don't think that it's lazy
Get ourselves another god
Don't let them tell us there isn't one

Stay, sweet honey
Life's so fast, you know it ain't funny
Get ourselves another god
Don't let them tell us there isn't one

Like we are just skin
Can you behold
Know beauty within
Know beauty inside your body
You don't love anybody

Why do lovers
Choose others
We circle, entwine one-another
In that mask that we wear with each other
Oh my god how I looked in that mirror
I looked in a hollow picture
It was something I could frame

That's right, sweet-heart
Life's tough now, life can be hard
Don't blame me for these pressures in life
Don't blame me for this sacrifice

Ok, sweet-heart
Take your time, I know lovers they part
Time slows when you're in love
And time moves so fast when it's getting on

Cos we are just skin
Can you behold
I know beauty within
Know beauty inside my body
I don't love anybody

Why do lovers
Choose others
To mirror their pain
Slow down stranger
You know that you're in danger
These demons have got their own names
Ready for you to lay it on


9. SIMPLE SONG

I opened up my eyes
Swear I saw the light
Don't you know the truth
It's so very hard to find

Too much doesn't feel good
Too much doesn't feel right
I'm singing, I'm singing
I'm singing, singing simple song

Some things die
To stay alive
The tears we cried
We'll drink them from time
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
Don't know another way
Happy and feeling right

Oh, it's the only thing that gets me through the night
I'm not scared, 'cause I know I will survive
That's right, that's right

Mercy has its place
I know I made mistakes
Please open those arms
Fill me with your grace

Too much doesn't feel good
Too much doesn't feel right
I'm singing, I'm singing
I'm singing, singing simple song

Some things die
Just to stay alive
The tears we cried
We'll drink them from time
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
Don't know another way
Happy to feel that right

Oh, it's the only thing that gets me through the night
I'm not scared, 'cause I know I can survive
That's right, that's right

Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
You know I don't know another way
Yes I know I can survive
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way
'Cause I know I can survive
'Cause I don't know another way
'Cause I know I can survive

Yeah I know I can survive
Yes I know I will survive


10. WORLD KEEPS TURNING

It's been a long time since I've been around here
I'm driving so fast, the trees disappear around me
Everything I know, or have known before
Is here in my mind, I think you know the score

The world keeps turning, everybody's learning
Keep ahead of the race it's the human despair
On my blocks every night trying to figure out what's wrong & right
Oh, just as psychedelic thing, I'll bring you love, anything
But the tears will flow, just the like the blood on the streets yeah

It's been too long since we sat down here & talked
It's been too long, you know we separated
It's been so long I wish that I could build a bridge
It's been so long, how can I see through it

The world keeps turning, everybody's learning
Keep ahead of the race, I've money to spend
And time to lend on my friends
Everything right in my life again
Oh babe, don't you take it away & give me days that were black & gray
And all the corners of my mind turned, entwined into another guy
Oh hit, a hypocrite, yeah that's it. I turned my words, they twirl & combine
They mix in your head, and make you think that I'm singing right to you
It's ok, if you want, I'll give you the time, the money to run
You could be the president, if you get that far then give me some help
