Hodja
Hodja please show me how to spin now
Hodja please show me how you do it
All the other boys are laughing at me again now
Hodja please show me how you do it
Whenever I talk they dont hear a thing
And everyone laughs when I sing
Hodja, please show me how to spin
I want to do that dance til I forget where I am
So get up out of your bed one more time
Hodja, make me spin
Yeah, teach me to spin like I seen you do
Why dont you make me the envy
Of the kids in school
I know what to wear, I know how to sound
I know about kissing the ground
From every alley in konya
Mevlana sings turn around, turn around
Youve got to spin til your feet leave the
Ground
Hodja, someday soon you will be moving on

Some Folks Is Even Whiter Than Me
There aint a man alive today
Who doesnt want to have the world in his hand
And everything to go his way
And abuse what he dont understand
Some people never can be satisfied
Less they push somebody else around
But I cant give no aid or take no side
I just watch them drag each other down because
Some folks is even whiter than me
Some folks is even blacker than me
I got myself caught in the middle somewhere
And thats just where I want to be
Im talking bout the outside
Talking bout the inside too
I spent a lot of time alone
And when Im gone you wont remember my name
But I aint never been nobodys boss but my own
And I hope that you can say the same
And I feel just like everyone around
I like so sing my songs of change like a crooner

Cool Jerk
Cool jerk, cool jerk, cool jerk, cool jerk
This cat theyre talking about
I wonder who could it be
cause I know Im the heaviest cat
The heaviest cat you ever did see
When you see me walking down the street
And they clapping and they speak
All the business they wish to whisper it
But they know Im the king of the cool jerks
Ah ha ha
Look at them guys looking at me like Im a fool
Ah but deep down inside they know Im cool
I said now,
I said now the moment of truth has finally come
When I was gonna do some, some of that cool jerk
All right, now I want to hear a little bit
Of the drums by himself here
All right, now I want to hear a little bit of
A bass with those eighty-eights
All right, now lets hear the organ player fall in

Bag Lady
Like a fly batters itself against a window
Time and again and again it senselessly blunders
Up and down the length of west broadway
The bag lady wanders
Fifty cents rent goes pretty far
When you live in a subway car
One stops the same as another
Even son of sam sees her sleeping,
Shes not worth the bother
Sorrow, do they ever want to cry
Do they see us pass by
Where do they come from (simple answers)
Do they come falling,
Falling from the sky like rain
Crawling up the basement drain
Misfits and black sheep
Former brothers, friends of mothers
There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow
There is only now and that hardly matters
No one cares about sad old ladies

If Six Was Nine
(in a whisper: yeah, if six was done)
If the sun refused to shine
I dont mind, I dont mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be, it aint me
All right, cause I got my own world to look through
And I aint gonna copy you
Now if six turned out to be nine
I dont mind, I dont mind
If all the hippies cut off all their hair
I dont care, I dont care
Dig, cause I got my own world to live through
And I aint gonna copy you
White collar conservatives flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me
Theyre hoping soon my kind will drop and die
But Im gonna wave my freak flag high (high)
Fall mountain, just dont fall on me
Go on mr. business man, you cant dress like me
You dont even know what Im talking about

Love Of The Common Man
Ive been burned in my prime
The simple things in life
Seem so hard to learn sometimes
And it takes so long
Catch it while you can
Too late tomorrow
And everyone
Said we all know what comes of that
Living in your pockets and talking through your hat
But it wont take long
To turn your head around
Too late tomorrow
cause everyone needs the love of the common man
Turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
cause everyone
Everyone is waiting, just anticipating on you
Wont you make a showing everybody knows what to do
Take a dive from your ivory tower
And fall on everyone will catch you, everyone

Healing Part I
Listen, listen
Listen to the voice,
The voice is an illusion
Listen to the voice,
Dont let the words confuse you
cause you need something to concentrate on,
Concentrate on me
You need something to meditate on,
Meditate on me
Listen, listen
Listen to your heart
Tune into the rhythm
Listen to your heart
Beating with precision
Like the waves upon the seaside,
It goes on and on
Like the spinning of the world,
It goes on and on
Listen, listen
Listen for the sound

Marvin Gaye Trilogy
Whats going on
Oh, mother, mother
Theres too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother,brother
Theres for too many of you dying
(too many dying)
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today yeah
Father,father
Theres no need to escalate (no need, theres no need, no need)
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some love and understanding here today
Picket lines, with picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
Come on come on talk to me
So you can see whats going on
Tell me whats going on
Ill tell you whats going on

Couldnt I Just Tell You
Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didnt have to make me feel like a fool
When I try to say I feel the way that I do
I want to talk to you
And make it load and clear
Though you dont care to hear
Couldnt I just tell you the way I feel
I cant keep it bottled up inside
And could we pretend that its no big deal
And theres really nothing left to hide
Something sure doesnt seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu
Why cant I talk with you
And put it in your ear though you dont care to hear
Hear me out
Why dont you lend me an ear
Youve got no reason to fear
Ill make it perfectly clear
I love you

Tiny Demons
One of them plays a piccolo in my ear
Another one makes me smell things that arent there
And they know where to hide
And they know everything thats inside
Of my head
Tiny demons, inside me
One of them ties a lasso around my heart
Another makes me nod when I drive the car
And they wont ever leave
But they wont show their faces to me
And they wait til I feel
Like theyre gone and they jump out and steal
My relief
Tiny demons, inside me
Listen, listen
Listen for the sound
That is not in the music
Only you can hear it,
Only you can use it
Its the sound of someone breathing,
