Lyric of the Day

[rbn]

getting your mind off some guy's record
he makes his money off fools like you
singing about killing like it ain't no thing but
you do the time when you live it for real
paying his way from your death row sale
you're the last one to see, you got sold out
I hear you say you hate pigs so much then
why the hell do you act like one

because you're civilized, you get brutalized
you're so civilized, man I see you get cut down
you're so civilized, you get brutalized
yeah, yeah, yeah so civilized, man I watch you get cut down

I wonder what you're like without the gun
I'd like to see when you're not hiding behind a gun
how you would live your life without the gun
'cause I know how I live mine cause you've got one
yeah
'cause that's what it is, hide behind your gun
you take life, you're just another pig to me
you think you're different but you're just another pig
yeah, a pig, yeah
you gotta have a gun then you're just another pig to me
you think you're different but you're just another pig
you gotta have a gun, you a pig to me, just a pig to me
you gotta have a gun, you're just another pig to me
you got a gun, you're just another pig

you're so civilized, you get brutalized, you're so civilized

a gun in your hand makes a fool out of you, oh yeah
a gun in your hand makes a target out of me, oh no

freedom
you need your freedom
you want your freedom
your freedom is killing you man
freedom
you can't handle freedom
hey
and now you're dying for it

Thanks vonVile. I haven't heard this album in so long.
My 2nd Gen tape got lost

there is a game I play
try to make myself okay
try so hard to make the pieces all fit
smash it apart
just for the fuck of it

bye, bye

gotta get back to the bottom
big comedown
isn't that what you wanted?
find a place with the failed and forgotten
isn't that really what you wanted?

there is no place I can go,
there is no way I can hide
it feels like it keeps
coming from the inside

there is a hate that burns within,
the most desperate place I have ever been
try to get back to where I'm from,
the closer I get the worse it becomes
the closer I get the worse it becomes

there is no place I can go,
there is no place I can hide
it feels like it keeps
coming from the inside

Jackson Brown / Farther On

My will insists this is the song that gets played.

In my early years I hid my tears
And passed my days alone
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
My dreams like nets were thrown
To catch the love that I'd heard of
In books and films and songs
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
In the place where the real world belongs

Still I look for the beauty in songs
To fill my head and lead me on
Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
As many times as love has come and gone

To those gentle ones my memory runs
To the laughter we shared at the meals
I filled their kitchens and living rooms
With my schemes and my broken wheels
It was never clear how far or near
The gates to my citadel lay
They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
But they listened to mine anyway

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
It could be I've lost my way
Though I keep a watch over the distance
Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

And the angels are older
They know not to wait up for the sun
They look over my shoulder
At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

Now the distance leads me farther on
Though the reasons I once had are gone
I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
In the sand beneath the dawn

But the angels are older
They can see that the sun's setting fast
They look over my shoulder
At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
And they lay down behind me
To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
Where they know they will find me
With my maps and my faith in the distance
Moving farther on

and if you're the one
to stop this roller coaster
don't think that I'm an evil thing
just that I was curious
and if you're the gun
who puts me out of your way
don't think that I'm an evil thing
just that I was curious

-Die Warzau

[SynchroDub]

Live in my head for just one day
I see myself and look away
The road is showing now on my face
Soon I'll disappear
I'll disappear without a fucking trace

I wish that I could disappear
Unzip my skin and leave it here
So I could be no one again
And never let nobody,
I'd let nobody
I'd let nobody in

Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away

Patty Griffin / Moses

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain
I don't necessarily buy any key to the future or happiness
But I need a little place in the sun sometimes or I think I will die
Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
With an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer

Cindy's Cryin'

Cindy, Cindy, whatcha gonna do?
Got no money and you're way past due.
You got every last penny I had,
The man is restless and your credit is bad,
And your credit is bad, Honey, makes you feel like cryin'.
We can make it but we better start tryin'.
Oh, I ain't leaving you and I ain't lyin'.

Cindy's cryin' but it ain't no use -
She's got a habit and she can't get loose.
Stoppin' each and ev'ry man she meets,
Gonna be a hooker on Bleecker Street.

Tom Paxton

[Wallingford]

Make the world go away, and get it off, get it off my shoulder.
Say the things we used to say, and make the world, make it go away.

Just Like a Woman

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that I just can't fit
Yes, I believe that it's time for us to quit
But when we meet again, introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman
Yes, you do, you make love just like a woman
Yes, you do, then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

Bob Dylan
