Feelin' Good 04:17
Everybody's feelin' good, so come down, so run down. Everybody's glad that the work day's done, so run come. The music's got that groove so don't fight it, or deny it, no no no. Music's got that soul and that fire, and that fire, let it consume my soul. Hey hey hey hey, hey alright, alright. Everybody's feelin' good, so come down, so run down. Everybody's glad that the night's still young, so run come. The music's got that groove to unite us, not divide us, no no no no. Music's got that soul and that fire, and that fire, let it consume my soul. And so we've got to get together. You know that we will feel much better. Yeah, let's get the feeling tight, Yeah I want to keep it all night. Yeah let's get this feeling here to stay I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on, movin', movin', movin.

Long Fall 04:23
Dulane, dulane, dulane. Jenny's just waking up on the bathroom floor. Jenny's just waking up from the night before. Jenny hears a bang-bang at the front door. Everyone's scrambling up to see what for. Jenny put your hands up. Jenny put your hands up, nice and slow Jenny put your hands up. This isn't my place, she cries, I don't even know these guys Jenny put your hands up. I've got two small kids at home, they'll be left all alone. Put your hands against the wall. You are headed for a long fall. Sonny's placing a call from a motel room. Honey, I'm still at work, but I'll be home soon. Sonny sees headlights in the distance loom. The next sound that he hears is a crash and a boom. Sonny your time's up. Sonny your time's up, don't you know. Sonny your time's up. I've already paid the loan, you've got everything I own. Sonny your time's up. Just give me one more day, I'll find a way to pay. This is your last call. You are headed for a long fall.

Get up my man, get up and stand. Get up my man, and stand, stand up my man. Cause you gotta fight, fight for your life. Cause you got a whole world competing for your soul, body, and your mind. Get up my man, I'll give you a hand. Get up my man, and stand, stand up my man. And we'll sing it like this: Shooby-doo Fire, fire, fire, ooh, I'm under Get up my man, get up and stand. Get up my man, and stand, stand up my man. Cause you're on the spot. Protect what you got. Cause you gotta hold on to the handle even when it gets hot. Protect what you got. Protect what you got. I found myself in the deepest of pits. I found myself at the edge of my wits. There were things I was scared to admit. But I'll be found at the break of day. I found myself in the strangest of lands. I found myself in some dangerous hands. But it's alright, just get up my man. I'll be found at the break of day. Get up, rise up, get up. Get up my man.

News flashes on the radio, Telling me which way to go. Telling me what I should know, But I fail to see the signs. And words slashing like a two-edged sword. Striking up a dissonant chord, Claiming to have the floor, But I read between the lines. Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth, Look me in the eyes and show me the proof. Dig down deep and show me the roots, you know, It won't be there. Look me in the eyes and tell it straight. Drop the front and communicate. Don't preach what you can't demonstrate yourself. Whoa. And lines are being drawn far and wide, Telling me to pick a side, Telling me I can't abide, But I will not be confined. The times are trying to break us apart. Trying to make us lose heart. Telling us who we are, But I will not be resigned. And this world is big enough for you and me. It don't matter if we choose to disagree. But we could really use a little honesty.

Do You Know 04:48
He-e-e-ey. Do you know how I feel about you? Oh do you know? Time has crept up on us, since I first learned your name. And if I was being honest, I would tell you my aim. You have your suspicions, I can see it in your eyes. And I make no admissions, but it's getting harder to disguise. Yeah. Do you think about us, when I am away? And do you ever doubt us? Cause I do every day. Oh, and you with your deflections, always turning just to the side. And me, with my deceptions, always hiding how I feel inside. Yeah.

Cynical Girl 04:34
La la la la la la la. Do you know the girl on Pine Street? The one with the blue dye in her hair. She's always dressed right down to a T. Tries to act like she don't care. You can't ask her out on Friday night, She would rather stay at home, And just spin records and watch black and white, Films that make her feel alone. Listen to her cry and moan, She's a cynical girl, cynical girl. She's only happy when she's crying. She's a cynical girl, cynical girl. She's only happy when you're down. So down. You probably knew that she's an artist, She only tells everyone she knows. You should know she's also an arsonist. She sets fires everywhere she goes. She will set your lonely heart aflame, And then watch it slowly burn. And you will wish that she would feel the same, But forever you will yearn. Watch now as you toss and turn, She will never be the one. You will never win her heart, you should run. You will never see the sun. Asking yourself, what have I done? She's so beautiful, but she will never love you so, She's a cynical girl, cynical girl. She's only happy when she's crying. She's a cynical girl, cynical girl. She's only happy when you're down. So down. Cynical girl, won't you set him free?

One More Try 03:59
I come to stay and I'm not looking back, I come to you. I've come to say that there's nothing that, Honey, I won't do. I locked myself inside this empty room, And in the midnight hour, that's when I knew. That you and I should see this through. And so I plead my case, saying: CHORUS: Come on darling, what d'you say? Why not give it just one more try? Come on darling, let's not wait. We've been waiting for a long time. One more try, yeah! I've come to know what I always knew, That it's you and me. I come and go like I always do, Now I'm here to see. I tried to list the reasons, Why I should stay. I tried so hard to believe them, But all I could say, Is darling I'll be on my way, yeah. And so I plead my case, saying: I think that if we both know it. I think that it's time we show it. I think that there's no use waiting all this time. I think that if we both feel it. I think that it's time we seal it. I think that there's no use waiting all this time. All this time. One more time, yeah! Why not give it one more try. Yeah.

Ah! I've got that feeling once again, And it's coming on strong, And it won't be long 'til I'm praying. I've got that feeling like I know, Like a ship takes wind, When the storm comes in, like a premonition. I get the feeling I, I can't hide, so I must rise, rise to fight it. CHORUS: Alright, alright, hold tight, hold tight, yeah. It's going to be another one of those times. I don't mean to sound alarm, But I don't have a reason to doubt it. Alright, alright, hold tight, hold tight, yeah. Here comes another pass through the fire. I can feel it coming on, But there's nothing I can do about it now. I've got that stirring in my soul, Like I've had before, So of this I'm sure, I need you Lord. I've got to get myself prepared, For the coming storm, for the coming war, For the conflagration. I get the feeling I, I can't hide, so I must rise, rise to fight it. Here it comes now. Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, now.

Joe 04:51
Take a good look around. Do you recognize what surrounds? Make your way through the crowd. Do you realize what's going down? Do you feel it in your bones? Do you feel your blood turn cold, When you see the rise and the fall? Do you feel you're next in line, When you read the next headline? The writing's there, It's on the wall. CHORUS: They're coming for your rights, Joe. Yeah! They're knocking at your door. They're coming for your rights, Joe. Yeah! They're always back for more. They're headed for your rights, Joe. They're hanging now just by a strand. You've got to tell them "no", Joe. Fight while you still can! Take a look at your life. What do you love? What do you prize? Can't you see the coming strife? It's happening now, before our eyes. Can you think how life might be, When the things that make you free, Hang like a thread, waiting to be pulled? You will see it starts off slow, Then one day before you know, You're just a pawn to be controlled.
10.
Poison Words 04:52
Ooh ooh Poison words, from your lips, Poison words, from your heart, Poison words, you've let slip, Poison words, find their mark, Every time that you speak, Words so kind, words so sweet. CHORUS: I crawl to your arms, I fall to your charms, I'm lost to your spell, I'm locked in your cell. Poison words, from your lips, Poison words, from your heart, Poison curves, from your hips, Poison curves, find their mark, Every time that you move, So refined, so smooth.

It Ain't You 04:04
This is the story of a man, But he's not really a man. He's just a playboy with a nice suntan. He's got a cushy job, From his Dad's brother, Bob, But still he thinks that he's somehow robbed. Then it happened one day, Uncle Bob came to say, The board has voted, you cannot stay. Tell your father that I'm sorry. Hope he'll understand, But now you know just who's the man. Chorus: It ain't you, no oh. It ain't you, no oh. It ain't you. It ain't you. This is the story of a cop, Who pushed his way to the top, But didn't know quite where to stop. He liked to brandish his gun. He once roughed up a nun, Arresting teenagers just for fun. Then it happened one day, The chief came to say, You've been suspended without pay. Tell the judge that you're sorry. Hope she'll understand, But now you know just who's the man.
