Who Knows


They don't know,
like I know.
Do you know?
I don't know.
What my baby,
puttin' down.
What my baby,
puttin' down.
I just came back from,
Mexicali.
Just came back in town,
lookin' for my Sally.
Uh,have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
Talkin' 'bout my baby,
talkin' about my baby.

Just came in,just came in babe.
Just came in,just came in.
Spreadin' magic honey,all around,
she's got chains,attached to my head.
Talkin' about,talkin' about,
talkin' about my baby,
I don't know 'bout it.



Machine Gun


Machine gun,
tearin' my body all apart.
Machine gun,yeah,
tearin' my body all apart.
Evil man make me kill you.
Evil man make you kill me.
Evil man make me kill you,
even though were only famlies apart.

Well,I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer,
You know what I mean?
Weh,hey,and your bullets keep knockin' me down.
Hey,I pick up my axe an' fight like a farmer,now,
yeah,but you still blast me down to the ground.
The same way you shoot me baby,
you'll be goin' just the same,three times the pain.
And with your own self to blame,machine gun!

I ain't afraid of your bullets no more,baby.
I ain't afraid no more.
After awhile,your,your cheap talk won't even cause me pain,
so let your bullets fly like rain.
'Cause I know all the time your wrong,baby,
and you'll be goin' just the same.
Machine gun,tearin' my family apart.
Hey yeah,alright,tearin' my family apart.



Changes


Well my mind is goin' through them changes,
I feel like I'm hypnotized.
Every time you see me goin' somewhere,
I feel like I'm goin' out of my mind.
Oh my baby, she left me the other day,
and we were havin' so much fun,yeah.
Oh,my baby she stepped out on me,
and the reason why she had me cryin'.
It's alright,it's alright.

Well my mind is goin' through them changes,
I think I'm goin' out of my mind.
Every time you see me goin' somewhere
I think I could commit a crime,now.
She had me runnin',
she had me cryin'.
She had me runnin' had me,had me cryin.
She had me runnin' had me cryin' yeah.
Alright,alright.



Power to Love


Shoot down some of those airplanes you been drivin',
especially the ones that'll fly you too low.
Shoot down some of those airplanes,
especially the ones that'll fly you too low.
Come back down to earth my friend,
come back up with me.
With all been through the night time baby,
darlin,sweet caress of reality.

With the power of soul,
anything is possible.
With the power of soul,
anything is possible.

Flyin' so much with one toy,babe,
it's an escape to a far away land.
It's so groovy to float around sometimes,
even a jellyfish will tell you that.
I said floatation is groovy and easy.
Even a jellyfish will agree to that.
Yeah,but old jellyfish been floatin' so long and so slack,
ain't got a bone in his jelly back.
Floatin' everyday and every night,ridin' high,
even if there's a risk,sometimes the wind ain't right.

With the power of soul,
anything is possible.
With the power of soul,
anything is possible.
With the power of soul,
anything is possible.
With the power of soul,
anything is possible.
With the power of you,
anything that you want to do.



Message of Love


Well, I travel at a speed,
of a reborn man.
I got alot of love to give,
from the mirrors of my hand.

I said a message of love,
don't you run away.
Look at your heart,
come along with me today.

Well I am what,I am thank you.
Some people just don't understand.
Find yourself first,
and then your tool.
Find yourself first,
don't you be no fool.

Here comes a woman,
wrapped up in chains.
Messin' with that fool babe,
your life is pain.
If you want to be free,
come along with me.
Don't mess with the man,
he'll never understand.
I said find yourself first,
and then your talent.
Work hard in your mind,
so if you come alive,
you better prove to the man,
you're as strong as him.

Everybody come alive,
everybody love alive.
Everybody love alive,
everybody hear my message.
