Outlaws and Sinners

Come all you outlaws and sinners
Time to prove you are the winners
Keep your eyes on the prize and get organized
Long enough to break the law!
Let the downtrodden lead us ahead
To roses as well as to bread
When inequity stands
We will all join our hands
Long enough to break the law!
May the women forge us a path
To be free from the chains of the past
May their movement explain
How to hold and be brave
Long enough to break the law!
Come all you queer and eccentric
Light us up with your electric
Bang on the gates
Of the norms of the State
Long enough to break the law!
May the fever to live take us all
Til we break every prison wall
There's a wrong and a right
And a battle to fight
Long enough to break the law,
Long enough to break the law!

Money
04:01

Can't seem to stay away
From living by money every day
Sunlight and rain is free
But if you wanna grow
You got to have a little money, money, money
Living in my lover's house
Where if she don't pay she'll be thrown out
You can grow grass or plant a tree
But you sure can't keep 'em
If you don't have a little bit of money, money, money
I drove my car down the road
When I reached the end I had to pay a toll
They've got to meet a need
And when you meet them
You need to have a little bit of money, money, money, money
I got sick awhile back
The hospital was like a railroad track
They send notes of love to me
Saying get well soon
As long as you've got a little money, money, money
They say cash is what you need
I hate to feed a dog that's made me bleed
There's got to be a way to be
Happy and alive
without paying out your life in money, money, money, money

Compassion
04:33
|

|
The thing that I have chosen to participate
Is reality or the closest that I can simulate
I'm living in a dream of my own making
I'm living in a dream of my own making
Compassion to the cold come keep me warm.
The best that I can reckon it's been seven suns
Since I offered up my reckless soul to anyone
Now I'm full of my own love to the breaking
Like a fruit grown on the vine just for the taking
Compassion to the cold come keep me warm
I've sold myself to many versions of the truth
That was the superstition of my virgin youth
Now I belong to no one and I'm shaking
Like a fruit grown on the vine just for the taking
Compassion to the cold come keep me warm
You play with fire you're bound someday to get you burned
Oh people burning bridges when will we we ever learn?

Open Mic

Quiet Nik is about to play guitar
Quiet Nik is about to play guitar
On the loaner (4x)
Open mic
Comedians choke away their jokes
Comedians choke away their jokes
Little laughter, bit of laughter
Little laughter, bit of laughter
Open mic, open mic, open mic
Seventeen will be testing out her poems
Feel her feelings, feel her feelings
Open mic
Hotshot boys sing loud and they play hard
For their mothers and their brothers
Open mic, open mic, open mic, open mic
Miss Maya knew how to hold a crowd
In Ohio, in Ohio
Open mic
I was young, shaking at the knees
I was young, shaking at the knees
My first time.
Open mic, open mic, open mic, open mic

Allentown
04:34
|
|||
|
On strike from smiles
My eyes were dark
Our force combined
I found my start
(Chorus)
And if I can't make Allentown
About the end of this week
My lungs feel like they're gonna drown
And my muscles go weak
So lonely I can't touch myself
Without your arms
I could die like a sailor drunk on leave
In the thrill of your charms, in the thrill of your charms
In the thrill of your charms
I'm gonna run from home
Ain't home no more
I'm gonna shake the dust
Outside my door
(Chorus)
Insane as a ferret
Lost as a wood
The town I grew up in
Can't do me no good, can't do me no good,
Can't do me no good
(Chorus)

Electricity Running
03:08
|
|||
|
Electricity running
Through all my muscles and my bones
Like the sap in spring returning
To give them squirrels a happy home
Who could have expected,
who could have expected
This to be?
Water droplets make the music
To drown the troubles in my world
Can't hear a leaky faucet
Without thinking I've finally met that girl
Who could have expected,
who could have expected
This to be?
Electricity running
through all my muscles and my bones.
Electricity running through all my muscles and my bones.

Minding Kind
03:12
|
|||
|
The chairs in your kitchen
Put holes in my clothes
The wind blows through them
Wherever I go
(Chorus)
But I don't mind, no I don't mind.
The love I've got to give you
Ain't the minding kind.
The air in your bedroom
is hot and still
To keep from paying
Electric bills
(Chorus)
Your parlour floor
Is hard as a stone
We sit on pillows
To save our bones
(Chorus)

Morning Sun
02:52
|
|||
|
I'm crying like the rain
Frowning like the clouds
Falling like the leaves outside my door
I think about you now
That I've up and headed out
And I wonder what I ever left you for
And I can't figure out how come
Cause I love you like the morning sun.
Yes I dream of you at night
And that's when I've got to fight
To keep my eyes on the road ahead
But if I'm rolling forward sad
That's really just too bad
I got to run if my feet are made of lead.
And I can't figure out how come
Cause I love you like the morning sun.
Every face I meet is bright
Lit up by your light
I'm the man in the moon shining down on them
An arrow in its course
Kept from you by force
And before too long I'll fly away again
And I can't figure out how come
Cause I love you like the morning sun.
