They call us men
They call us boys
They call these glorified toys
They call us anything they desire
But nothing will quench this fire
This is our renaissance
What more could we want
We won’t stop, drop and roll
Until we are done
They’ve called it art
They’ve called it noise
They’ve called us misguided boyz
They’ve called us anything that you wish
But you’ll never burn this bridge
It’s the fire in our bones
That takes us far from our homes
We can’t stop, drop and roll
They’ll call you their worst nightmare
They’ll call you an answered prayer
They’ll say don’t call us we’ll call you
But they’ll never pay your dues
This is your renaissance
What more could you want
Stop, drop and roll

Killing Time

Someday soon I’m gonna find the time
I’ve gotta break out of this pantomime
And when I do I’m gonna change this place
Gonna shine a light on the human race
But I like my eating time and my sleeping time
My breathing time maybe I will in time
Killing time
I like killing time
Killing time
Don’t mind killing time
Someday soon I’ll get some emphasis
I’ve gotta break out of this parenthesis
And when I do I’m gonna change this place
I’m gonna feed the poor, stop the war, conquer space
But I’ll need vacation time and recreation time
If there’s a time for every purpose maybe this is mine
Killing time
I like killing time
Killing time
I like killing time
I’ve gotta break out of these chains I’m in
Accomplish all those childhood schemes
I’ve gotta crawl out of this fix I’m in
And fulfill their universal dream
Someday soon
Someday soon

Blue World Yesterday
02:56
|

|
If the world were hollow
What consequence would follow
It’d be a bitter pill to swallow
We wouldn’t be here tomorrow
Lunatics with taxes
Maniacs with axes
The world spins off its axis
I don’t think I can hack this
It was a blue world yesterday
A world that could survive
It’s gotta be a blue world everyday
Just to keep some hope alive
We can watch it from a distance
Offer some assistance
Squander an existence
Or we can put up some resistance
To the hypocrites with hatchets
Politicrites with matches
The world is out of practice
I don’t think I can hack this
It was a blue world yesterday
A world that could survive
It’s gotta be a blue world everyday
Just to keep some hope alive
I want a blue world
Remember Adam
Remember Eve
You were given
All of these
It was a blue world yesterday
A world that could survive
It’s gotta be a blue world everyday
Just to keep some hope alive
I want a blue world

Clairvoyant Skies

I have raised my eyes too soon to the clairvoyant skies
And now I realize what I saw is true
We are standing on the edge of a moon
That is circling the world
Is it gravity that binds us to this star
Or is it love that keeps us where we are
I can believe its true
I can believe its you
But could you tell me what I saw in clairvoyant skies
If I speak my mind too soon to a crowd of itching ears
When will they realize what they hear is true
We are standing on the edge of a choice
And waiting for a voice
Is it destiny that pushes us this far
Or is it love that keeps us where we are
I can believe its true
I can believe its you
But could you tell me what I saw in clairvoyant skies
The moon is full tonight
The stars are without light
There's a ring around this night
Like a halo blue and bright
In clairvoyant skies...

War of Words
03:59
|
|||
|
Thick skin wears thin from the damage done by a venomous tongue
Loose lips and head trips are a means to an end but an end by no means
I will not run this time
A low blow makes a friend foe it’s a sizable debt that one may never forget
A cheap shot by your slingshot is a simple thing but a weapon that stings
I will not run this time – nor will I fight
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war of words
There’s no cause for harm cause we both take turns
In a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war
A hard line is like a land mine - a dangerous toy and a killer of joy
A hard hit by your quick wit is like a wrecking ball against my concrete wall
I will not run this time – nor will I fight
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war of words
There’s no cause for harm cause we both take turns
In a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war
I’d cross those battle lines for you
If it’s the last thing that I do
But I will not fight in a war of words with you
Why do we fight it baby
Brother to brother and father to mother
It’s a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war of words
There’s no cause for harm cause we both take turns
In a war of words
Lay down your arms or we’ll both get burned
By a war

Hope
02:32

It’s hard
We work so hard
And all we have left
Is the promise of nothing we’ve seen
But hope is a part of our desperate schemes
And hope is the heart of our heavenly dreams
With hope we can fly without wings
With hope we can try anything
With hope we can die with our dreams

Blue World Tomorrow

I had a dream
It went something like this
We were aloft
On an eternal kiss
The world was new
And we were too
And I touched your hands and I knew
There's no more pain or sorrow
I can see a blue world tomorrow
There's no more time to borrow
There will be a blue world tomorrow
