Blind

Signs

Signs are lost

Signs disappeared

Turn invisible

Got no sign

Somebody got busted

Got a face of stone

And a ghostwritten biography

Dogs start to run in,

Hungry for some food

Dogs start a-twitching

And they're looking at you

It was light

By five

Torn all apart

All in the name of democracy

He's hurt

He's dying

Claimed he was a terrorist

Claimed to avert a catastrophe

Someone should'a told him

That the buck stops here

No one ever said

That he was involved with thieves

And they're blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

No sense of harmony, No sense of

time, Don't mention harmony, Say:

What is it? What is it? What is it? Give

a little shock, and he raises his hand

Somebody shouts out, says: What is

it? What is it? What is it?

He was shot down in the night! Peop-

ple ride by but his body's still alive

The girl in the window what has she

done? She looks down at me ...

says: "I don't want to die!"

And I'm blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

Somebody could have told us where they go

Crawling all around looking for foot, foot, footprints

Now tell me what the Hell have we become?

Some dirty little bastards What the Hell is going on?

No sense of harmony, No sense of

time, Don't mention harmony, Say:

What is it? What is it? What is it? Give

a little shock, and he raises his hand

Somebody shouts out, says: What is

it? What is it? What is it?

He was shot down in the night! Peop-

ple ride by but his body's still alive

The girl in the window what has she

done? She looks down at me ...

says: "I don't want to die!"

They're blind and they're blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

blind, blind

blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones

Put a wiggle in your stride

Loosen up

I believe he'll be alright

Changing clothes

Now he's got ventilated slacks

Bouncing off the walls

Mr. Jones is back!

Bulge out

And wind your waist

Tight pants

Got curly hair

Drinking cold beer

From metal cans

Moonshine

And Handi-Wipes!

Mr. Jones is back in town

it's his lucky day

Hold up your hands and shout

Jones is on his way

Pitter pat

Mr. Jones is back in town

Aces high

Now his pants are falling down

He looks so fine

In those patent leather shoes

Mr. Jones, you look tired

I believe you'll be alright

Sales men

Conventioneers

Some rock stars

With tambourines

Short skirts

And skinny legs

Selling bibles

And real estate

It's a big day for Mr. Jones

He is not so square

Mr. Jones will stick around

He's everybody's friend

Fast cars

And motorbikes

I'm sure glad

He's on our side

The Jones Gang

Down at the bar

Watch out, this time

They've gone too far

They call for Mr. Jones

They put him in charge

Mr. Jones will help us out

He's a lucky guy

It is Mr. Jones' Birthday party

For another year

In his hotel room Party favors

It's a holiday

Totally Nude

Big and I'm bad

And I want you to know

I hand around

Where the grass is greener

Totally naked, baby

Totally nude

'Cause if I want to

Who's gonna stop me?

I'm absolutely free

Living in the trees

The birdies and the bees

'Cause I'm a nature boy

Locked up inside

You can't tell me where it's at

Open up, open up, open the door

Rocks and trees and physical culture

Some days you hide

I guess you wonder where you are

Nature boy, nature man, take me along

We got a life that's undiscovered

We threw it all away

Throw it all away

Rolling every way

It's irresponsible

So civilized

I guess you wonder where you are

Nature boy, nature man, take me along

Deep in the woods we're undiscovered

I'm a little fish and you're the river

Living in a boat that's underwater

We can tip, tip, tip it over

You can push, push, make it better now

Wake your daddy up

It's a quarter to five

Our little boat

Has lost it's rudder

Dive to the bottom

And we never come up

A polka party

For Bob and Martha

I'm absolutely free

living in the trees

The birdies and the bees

'Cause I'm a nature boy

Think what you like

This is really where it's at

Open up, open up, open the door

We don't need clothes and we don't need money

So civilized

I guess you wonder where you are

Nature boy, nature man, take me along

Deep in the woods we're undiscovered

Ruby Dear

'Round and 'round

and we won't let go

And where we stop

no one knows

uh-huh uh-huh

Down and down

in a spin we turn

Looking like

we'll never learn

uh-huh uh-huh

Think about

what ev'ryone is saying

Ruby dear

Oh don't you hear

Late at night

when the radio is playing

Ruby dear

So looky here

Oh this record's broken

It slips a beat

And all those watermelons

Have gone to seed

Nothing lives

in this dirty little river

No one here

Will shed a tear

It dried up

but it couldn't run forever

Ruby dear

That's what we hear

I still like the ocean

Down by the sea

They left that door wide open

It tempted me

Hounding me

from the bedroom to the kitchen

Ruby dear

I'm still right here

Now they throwed

the fox amongst the chickens

It's too deep

I'll drown in my sleep!

Angels and prostitutes

They might look the same

And if to Hell we're going

I'll see you there

'Round and 'round

and we won't let go

And where we stop

no one knows

uh-huh uh-huh

Down the street

where the bonfires glow

Looking like

they lost control

uh-huh uh-huh

Settle down

in that rocking chair

Breathing in

that rotten air

uh-huh uh-huh

Johnny Jones

fell fast asleep

Down a hole

where the rocks are steep

uh-huh uh-huh

(Nothing But) Flowers

Here we stand

Like an Adam and an Eve

Waterfalls

The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees

Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs

Cars have run on gasoline

Where, where have they gone?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory

Now there are mountains and rivers

you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now we got something for dinner

we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall

Now it's all covered with flowers

you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawnmower

you've got it, you've got it

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate

Now it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town

Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over

But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots

Now it's a peaceful oasis

you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now it's all covered with daisies

you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,

Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens

you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart

Nobody paid much attention

you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,

Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies

you got it, you got it

We used to microwave

Now we just eat nuts and berries

you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,

Now it's turned into a cornfield

you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle

The Democratic Circus

Found out this morning

There's a circus coming to town

They drive in Cadillacs

Using walkie-talkies, and the Secret Service

Their big top

Imitation of life

And all the flags and microphones

We have to cover our eyes

We play the sideshows

And we like the tunnel of love

And when we ride the ferris wheel

We're little children again

And when they're asking for volunteers

We'll be the first ones aboard

And when the ringmaster calls our names

We'll be the first ones to go ... to sleep

Stealing all our dreams

Dreams for sale

They sell 'em back to you

On with the show

Start the parade

We sand along

Sweep us away

It's political party time

Going down, going down

And the celebrities all come out

Coming down, coming down, coming...

The sun is going down

And the dogs are starting to howl

We stay out after dark

Eating cotton candy

And the music's playing...

How we all laughed!

We split our sides

The cameras flashed

We almost died!

The rain's gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky

Coming down, coming down

And the celebrities all run out, and the rain's

Coming down, coming down

Gonna rain,

Gonna rain, gonna rain

Gonna rain, gonna rain,

Rain, rain

Rain, rain

And now I wonder who's boss

And who he's leavin' behind?

The Facts Of Life

Words of lo ve, in the air

Sparks fly, shoo ting out

Ma king sure that eve ry thing is wor king

I can't turn you down

We are pro grammed hap py lit tle chil dren

Mat ter o ver mind

We can not re sis so I won't fight it

Love is a ma chine

Love is a ma chine without a dri ver

The facts of life

The facts of life

A masterpiece

Biology

Smokey water

Air conditioned

Boys 'n' girls

And automation

Chromosomes

Designer jeans

Chimpanzees

And human beings

Machines of love

Machines of love

Strong in body, strong in mind

A love machine with the facts of life

The facts of life

The facts of life

So much sex 'n' violence

Must be a bad design

We're stupid to be fighting

Every night

The monsters we create

They welcome us aboard

The best in advertising

From coast to coast

The girls and boys combine

Like monkeys in the zoo

The clouds have silver linings

Looks pretty good

People fall in love like in fairy tales

I'm not sure I like, what they can do

I'm afraid that God has no master plan

He only takes -- what he can use

Factory life, ice cream & pie

Factory life

Someday we'll live on Venus

And men will walk on Mars

But we will still be monkeys

Down deep inside

If chimpanzees are smart

Then we will close our eyes

And let our instincts guide us

Oh oh oh oh no

Mommy Daddy You & I

All the way home from Baltimore

We couldn't find a seat

Conductor says he's sorry for

The blisters on our feet

Comes a-riding in a bus

The high and the low

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Going on a trip

And we're not going home

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Driving, keep driving

Driving, driving all night

Sleeping on my daddy's shoulder

Drinking from a paper cup

And I'm wearing my grandfather's clothes

And they say that up North it gets cold

Crawling out of bed one night

Walking in my sleep

We're not the only family

To take this little trip

Driving all the way up

It's 30 below

Mommy, daddy, you and I

Even little kids

Getting ready to go

Mommy, daddy,you and I

Chilly, Chilly-Willy

It's colder the further we go

Some are born to take advantage

But saying it don't make it so

So hold me and don't let me go

'Cause the sidewalks are covered with snow

He's speaking English now

And he's smoothing out his clothes

He's Mr. Button Down

He's leaving home

Making changes day by day

And we still ain't got no plan

How we gonna make our way

In this foreign land?

Well we'll keep driving, keep driving

Driving with all of our might

Changing, still changing

Changing the water of life

Keep that little man a shining

See how the tail can wag the dog

And we're all riding in this old bus

And the driver is singing to us

And we're wearing out grandfather's clothes

'Cause we heard that up North it gets cold

Big Daddy

She had such tiny tears

Just like a Barbie doll

She likes to shop at Sears

And visit shopping malls

Now she's a big mamma

Tell poppa

Cry, cry, cry, cry

Old Money

Your old money doesn't matter now

Have mercy

Mercy, mercy, daddy's going fishing now

He put the bait onto his line

He's winding out his reel

Fish are swimming in the pond

Gonna let 'em sail away

He's got his eye on you

He knows just what she wants

The fish is gonna bite

She is his latest catch

'Cause he's Big Daddy

Oh, mammy

Cry, cry, cry, cry

Big Daddy

Oh, daddy's scraping bottom now

Oh, momma

Daddy, daddy, daddy does the talking now

Mesmerized like horny toads

By shiny things like jewels and gold

Throwing all their pearls to swing

Let 'em sail away

You lucky dog

You'll be on Easy Street

Drinking champagne

She gets all that she wants

His heart's desire

No more worries anymore

Like a fairy tale

Anything that she likes

I seen you do the dog

I seen you getting down

A swimming back and forth

When daddy's not around

Big Daddy

Oh, she's pretty as a picture now

Oh, momma

Oh, what a little martyr now

He knows how to drive 'em wild

One day you'd think she'd see

Saying "This is mine and this is her.

Now take that stuff away"

It's best left unspoken

One and one is two

The velvet lies sing softly

Each with a golden spoon

And she passed her time in the wind and the rain

Got a one way ticket on a Southbound train

Said baby, baby, wants to have a good time

And Big Daddy laughed

And Big Daddy smiled

Like dynamite

One fine day she'll explode

Who's laughing now?

No one sees anymore

Sneak in and out

Don't get caught running 'round

Swim back and forth

Bubbles float to the top

Bill

Bill was a man

Who grew too big

It didn't matter what he did

The girls would always run away

When everybody laughs at you

It can be humiliating

Billy likes a

Cute little girl

They are lovers

We can tell

Kisses on the mouth

Holding hands 'n' all

Look into their eyes...

Sneaking off together

Running to the woods

Swimming in the river

Cooking up some food

Making up religions

Dropping out of school

Laughing through the summertime

Never meant to hurt nobody

Angel of God

Take me along

Happy days

Quiet life

We are not alone...

He bought a gun

And she fixed her dress

"I'm not afraid of Jesus Christ

Who cares about the price we pay"

It's our little secret

And we're never, never, never going

Angel of God

Take me along

Happy days

Quiet life

We are not alone...

Cool Water

Day by day ... Whistle while you work ... Our

backs are breaking ... Up from hollow earth ...

From end to end ... The noise begins ... In the

human battle stations ... And the big one's

coming in

Work, work, work, work ... Work till holes are

filled ... Work, work, work, work ... Bags of

bone and skin ... Lovers hold hands ... Tossing

their heads ... Tangled in hair ... Tied to earth

... With skin and glue

But their skin is the same as yours

Coming in for the world to see

They can sit at the table, too

The same blood as you and me

Speak very softly .. Hold my hand ... Someone is

sleeping ... In my bed ... Priests pass by ...

Worms crawl in ... One dreams to be ... One dream

for all

His skin is the same as yours

Is he not made the same as you?

And some have fallen down

And blood spilled on the ground

Work, work,work

Till his life is doneu

The old man .. Is at our door ... And he's

knocking ... knocking ... As his neighbors weep

... Each day repeats ... Are we nothing in your

eyes? ... Someone answer, someone answer ... This

rusted garden gate ... Can barely even stand ...

Their work is over now ... And rest will be at

hand

Is their skin not the same as yours?

Can they sit at the table to drink

Cool water

Cool wateru

And his lungs are filled with rain...

And the water's rushing in...
