1. _ The Martyr
Why, why was i born to know what i must know
I can see the sky, but i can't see the ground below
Where do i go
Falling in a trap where traitors wait
Lost love is the bait
But the martyr never knows
He is caught in a dream of his own
When it's over where does he go
Who really knows
Time stands between me and my home
So long ago
I can't stand to wait
But i can't force my body to go
Where do i go
Crying, he is blind to everyone
And that's how its done
And the martyr never knows
Who really knows
I know in my heart
I could change the world
With just this guitar
Who really knows

2. _ Crazy Lady Blue
Lost through a hole in the garden wall
On the wrong side of the looking glass
Call, should you need a companion home
You know you only need to ask
Crazy lady blue
I sympathize with what you're going through
Crazy lady blue
I'm crazy just to have you be my love
Hide in the puzzle you call your world
Baby, i know all about the game
Cry when the walls of the maze crash down
I'll come and take away your pain
Crazy lady blue
Someday your head may get the best of you
Crazy lady blue
I'm crazy just to have you be my love

3. _ Rape Of The Young
Hey mister exxon
Won't you have pity
Won't you have pity on the guiltless ones
Hey mister chrysler
Won't you think about it
Won't you think about it? judgment day has begun
What will become of tomorrow's children
Who gives a damn for tomorrow's children
Pay no mind, you just keep on takin'
Keep on takin' 'til there's nothing at all
Sit on your hands and don't say nothin'
Cover your eyes, you won't see nothin'
Cry for the innocent sent to war
(don't tell a soul)
Shed a tear for the one's waiting at the door
(they'll never know)
It's the last generation of a world gone blind
(you better watch your tongue)
It's the violation of the unborn child
It's the rape of the young
Hey mister general
Can't you find something
Can't you find something else to do for a buck
Hey mister president
Nobody listens
Nobody listens 'til we've run out of luck
Nobody cares for unborn troubles
Why should you care, it's too much trouble
You got yours so it just don't bug ya
It just don't bug ya 'cause you won't be around

4. _ Windows
You took that last corner too fast
Careened up against the side wall
For a moment everything went black
Woke up inside somebody else's hideaway in a distant place
Don't know your name or know this face
And what you don't know hurts you so
It can only be that way
Feel yourself becoming someone else
We may yet see that light at the end of the tunnel
If we can find a way to keep things under control
The web of life connects each of us to the other
So it's no use pretending that you alone run the show
Just like a moth too close to the fire explodes
Though the myth is exposed
You're still looking for windows in the sky
Supernatural paradise is the place you are looking for
All you need is a miracle divine
All that's left is you alone
Loneliness is all you own
Feel yourself becoming someone else

5. _ My Angel
Walk the line
It's not easy
I must stand alone
It's the kind of a life i've chosen
Right or wrong
I can feel
Near me always
Something to live up to
Someone to depend upon
When i have fallen from grace
When i grow weak from the pace
I can feel the breath of gentle wings on my face
And when the world closes in around me
Then my angel
Will come and roll away the stone
Like a hand reaching down from the heavens
And when the darkness falls all around me
Then my angel
Will come and draw aside the veil
I am safe in the arms of my angel
Anywhere
Anytime
In my mind i know
That a pair of sweet eyes is watching me
Wherever i go
Is it real?
Am i dreaming?
Sometimes i don't know
But i want to believe it's so
Let me dream on
Is it profane or divine
Am i insane? i feel fine
I can close my eyes but i still see it shine

6. _ Abandon City
Did you see the color of the water coming out of the tap?
Did you hear the chatter of the hammer
When you're trying to nap?
There's nothing on the counter at the a&p store
The bank don't even bother now to open the door
It ain't pretty, pity
Abandon city
Everybody over the side
The hour is late, they're closing the gate, no time to decide
Abandon city
Yeah, you better run for your lives
There's nothing to spare
The cupboard is bare
The bees have all left the hive
Someone's doing a non-stop performance
Of "the rape of the lock"
No one's got the nerve to take a tiptoe after seven o'clock
And everybody's looking for a piece of the rock
And i just want to get my cadillac out of hock
Too much nitty gritty

7. _ Trapped
Brother john saw visions of god
So they put him in chains
For acting too odd
As the crowd shouted, "off with his head"
The priest said, "have mercy
Let's burn him instead"
Trapped
Trapped in a world that he never made
I woke up with my head on the floor
In a windowless cell
A room full of doors
I got lost, now i'm so far behind
Took so much advice
Forgot my own mind
Trapped
Trapped in a world that i never made
We can't be slowed down by a big bunch of lip
And nobody cares about your paranoid trip
You know death and the devil sure got it easy today
Souls come so cheap some people give theirs away
You've got to break out, you've got to prove you're alive
What makes you think that the weak survive
And if you don't have the stomach
For all this radical crap
Then have the guts to stand for something
Or you're gonna be trapped
Trapped
Trapped in a world that you never made

8. _ Marriage Of Heaven And Hell
I don't know the reason why i seem to need a release
I can't stand to beg for favors like a child on his knees
But i won't go on a minute 'til i get me some peace
On the road to armageddon
I done things i'd be ashamed to see in black and white
There are times i miss distinctions over wrong and right
But i'm gonna get an answer when i get there tonight
On the road to armageddon
It's the wrong world
I must be on the wrong planet
I been checkin' it out
And i know what it's all about
Mr. and mrs. universe
In their cabin in the sky
She's a little bit of heaven
He's one hell of a guy
And like all suburban couples they may have a spat
But that is that
It's back to normal
And it's your night to feed the cat
Let us raise a glass
And we'll drink a toast
And the devil will dance
With the holy ghost
And the good and the wicked
The strong and frail
They will all join hands
At the end of the world

9. _ Love Is The Answer
Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And i've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a short cut i'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it
Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer
Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me, is it worth just another try?
Tell me, are we alive, or just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers
And when you feel afraid, love one another
When you've lost your way, love one another
When you're all alone, love one another
When you're far from home, love one another
When you're down and out, love one another
All your hope's run out, love one another
When you need a friend, love one another
When you're near the end, love one another
We got to love one another
Light of the world, you got to shine
Love will be a means, yeah, yeah
Shine on us all
Know that love can save the day
Just give it one more chance
Lord you just can't let it stop lord
Love is the answer
Got to be free to let love into your life
Let it shine

10. _ Back On The Street
They tell me i've paid back the debt i owed
Forty-four months since the slammer door closed
They give me a suit and put me back on the road
And my thoughts are racing
Where do i go? what am i supposed to live on?
What happens when the twenty-five dollars is gone?
That leaves me lots of time to wonder why i was born
But the countdown is on
Everybody's dancing
The music sounds entrancing
But you can't find the beat
It's the ticking of a thousand human time bombs
Who are back on the street
Oh the names have been changed
But the story's the same
History will repeat
Add it all up and then divide it by zero
'cause you're back on the street
I can't stand the strain of this job no more
I must have forgot what i took it on for
I make lots of money, yet still i want more
And my head is blazing
I think that i'll check out the shops downtown
Sometimes it helps to buy things when i feel brought down
At this hour i might dodge those hippie low-life's around
But the countdown is on
Once you had to stand out
Looking for a handout
Free love and body heat
And that money's just a crumpled green ball in your pocket
When you're back on the street
Back on the street again
Said you're back on the street again
The countdown is on
And nobody knows when
Spreading like a cancer
Looking for the answer
In everyone you meet
And each in his way has a hustle to play
When he's back on the street

11. _ Love In Action
No place to hide
And no where to run
Nothing you can do because a change must come
You can't stop it
You got your tail in the air
Your head in the ground
Money, money, money makes your world go 'round
You can't stop it
You can't stop, you can't stop, you can't stop, you can't stop
You can't stop love in action
You just joined the clan
Your head's full of sand
You need a bunch of friends to make you feel like a man
But you can't stop it
Yeah, you could be the last trace of the master race
The nazis really send you to another place
Still you can't stop it
You can't stop love in action
