Old Mother Reagan
Old mother reagan
And her crew
Took away
From me and you
I hope she goes far away
She better go far away
Yknow it aint right
When its all wrong
This is the old mother reagan
Protest song
Old mother reagan
Shes so dumb
Shes so dangerous
How come...
Old mother reagan went to heaven
But at the pearly gates
She was stopped!

Machine
I got a machine
And I took over the world
In one weekend
I took over the world
With my machine
I did it because
I was looking for a project
And it was either
Take over the world or learn french
So I took over the world
And next weekend
I can learn french
I got a machine
And I took over the world
But nothing changed
That wouldnt be fair

I Held Her In My Arms
Im gnawing on the knowledge
That I have been burnt
And Im learning things that i
Shouldve already learnt
Everyone I ever knew
Was so kind and coy
I was with a girl
But it felt like I was with a boy
I cant even remember
If we were lovers
Or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
But it wasnt you
I will not kill
The one thing that I love
In this world of wreckage
I look above
Help me lord

Thanksgiving (No Way Out)
I see no way out.
I feel a closing in.
Living this way, I wont live this way.
Its no way to live.
I am not grateful.
I am hateful.
I see stupid things,
So I say stupid things.
One thing I know I want to go
Where my heart cant hurt no more.
I am not grateful.
I am hateful.
I am not grateful.
I am painful.

Sleepwalkin'
Someone sucked me
late last evening
And it was time to make a change
And i Wonder
am i too late
am i too far a strange
For what i have been doin for all of these years
Sleepwalkin' Sleepwalkin' Slee-ee-eepwalkin'
Sleepwalkin' Sleepwalkin' Slee-ee-eepwalkin'
I have so few good memories
somethings terably wrong
As a singer singing badly
As he tries to sing the wrong song
Look what i have been doing all of these years
Sleepwalkin' Sleepwalkin' Slee-ee-eepwalkin'
Sleepwalkin' Sleepwalkin' Slee-ee-eepwalkin'
Something moving in the light
Something spoke to me and said

Good Friend
If only you could know
How Id love you so
The way good friends do
The way I would be you
And me too, Id be your
Good friend, Id be your
Good friend, Id be your
Good friend
Thats what I wouldve been
Oh but everytime I turn around
My hearts on the mend
These feelings I have
I have to suspend
Seems like everytime I turn around
My hearts on the mend
Because I dont think you want me
To be your good friend
Yesterday is a laugh
And the traumas slip past
And I dont think

When Everybodys Happy
Can you imagine
The world at peace
What would it be like
Can you imagine
Such harmony
And what will happen
When everybodys happy
But me
Can you imagine
This headache I have
Writing this song
Can you imagine
The storm inside
And the quiet
When everybodys happy
But me
I think that I would really
Like to love
Give and receive
I pray that my spirit

See My Ships
See my ships
They are sailing
In and out of the harbor
Will they go together
Or must they stay apart
Yes I know its in my heart
Surely you see whats inside of me
Jesus is coming soon
I can hear gabriel
Blow his trumpet tune
This I know
This I know
Our lord is coming soon
Mercy mercy me
Marvin gaye he was shot
By his father
O my father
Have mercy on me
Cold kane o my cheap thrill
O my shame for cain
