1. _ Pink Houses
There's a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighbourhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
You know, he think, that he's got it so good
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evening slop
And he looks at her and says: "hey darling, i can remember when you could stop a clock"
Chorus:
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
Well there's a young man in a t-shirt
Listening to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile
He says: "lord, this must be my destination"
'cuz they told me, when i was younger
"boy, you're gonna be president"
But just like everyting else, those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went
Chorus:
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
Well there's people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the gulf of mexico
Ohhh yeah
And there's winners, and there's losers
But they ain't no big deal
'cuz the simple man baby pays for the thrills,
The bills and the pills that kill
Chorus:
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me
Oh but ain't that america for you and me
Ain't that america we're someting to see baby
Ain't that america, home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

2. _ I
Holly told me, "you better give me a child"
I said, "holly, there's no way
We don't even like each other all that much
We couldn't make it one more day"
She said, "you better look out, buster
The next time you see me you're gonna pay"
I said, "holly, i'm not running anymore
But i'm on my way"
Chorus:
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
But i'm not running anymore
Well i got two circus clowns here who like to fight
They got one black eye and a bloody nose
They are the hoodlums of my third wife
Whatever i say they will oppose
I try to teach those clowns something
Like how to make it day to day
I say, "hey, you kids, i'm not running anymore
But i'm on my way"
Chorus:
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And i'm not running anymore
Well i look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me?
Whatever i had has gone away
I'm not the young kid that i used to be
So i push the hair back out of my face
That's o.k., i knew this would happen
But i was hopin' not today
Hey baby, i'm not running anymore
But i'm on my way
Chorus:
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And i'm not running anymore
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
And i'm not running anymore
For sure!

3. _ Wild Night
As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
And everything looks so complete
When you |

5. _ Key West Intermezzo
In a hand painted night, me and gypsy scotty are partners
At the hotel flamingo, wearing black market shoes
This loud cuban band is crucifying john lennon
No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sin the blues

6. _ Authority Song
they like to get you in a compromising position
They like to get you there and smille in your face
They think, they're so cute when they got you in that condition
Well i think, it's a total disgrace
Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since i was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
So i call up my preacher
I say: "gimme strenght for round 5"
He said: "you don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son"
I said: "growing up leads to growing old and then to dying,
And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun"
Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since i was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since i was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
Oh no
Oh no
I fight authority, authority always wins
Chorus:
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since i was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I fight authority, authority always wins
I been doing it, since i was a young kid
I've come out grinnin'
I fight authority, authority always wins

8. _ Your Life Is Now
See the moon roll across the stars
See the seasons turn like a heart
Your father's days are lost to you
This is your time here to do what you will do
Chorus:
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Would you teach your children to tell the truth
Would you take the high road if you could choose
Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise
'cause i believe you could change your mind and change our lives
Chorus:
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Would you teach your children to tell the truth
This is your time here to do what you will do
Chorus:
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now
Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

9. _ Rain On The Scarecrow
scarecrow on a wooden cross blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did my grandpa cleared this land
When i was five i walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Chorus:
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me proud
And son i'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the farmers bank foreclosed
Called my old friend schepman up to auction off the land
He said john it's just my job and i hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to i'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a bible in her hand
Sometimes i hear her singing "take me to the promised land"
When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows
There'll be blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
And some nights i feel like dyin' like that scarecrow in the rain
Chorus:
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me proud
And son i'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me so proud
And son i'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow

10. _ Small Town
Well i was born in a small town
And i live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But i've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No i cannot forget where it is that i come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, i can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what i want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well i was born in a small town
And i can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

12. _ Crumblin' Down
Some people ain't no damn good
You can't trust 'em, you can't love em
No good deed goes unpunished
And i don't mind being their whipping boy
I've had that pleasure for years and years
No, no i never was a sinner-tell me what else can i do
Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rules
Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
They're waiting outside-to claim my crumblin' walls
Saw my picture in the paper
Read the news around my face
And now some peopkle
Don't want to treat me the same
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down
Some people say i'm obnoxious and lazy
That i'm uneducated and my opinipn means nothin'
But i know i'm a real good dancer
Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what i'm after
Everybody's got their problems-ain't no new news here
I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years
Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl,
'cause it's perfectly clear
Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me you can break me
But you better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

13. _ Eden Is Burning
Diane and jack went to the movies
They went to see richard pryor
Screamin' on his knees for his lover
How could have i been wrong about you?
How could i have been so wrong about you?
Chorus:
Eden is burning
I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thinking of havana
Eating cream and bananas
You and me in the sunshine
How could have i been wrong about you?
How could i have been so wrong about you?
Chorus:
Eden is burning
I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How could have i been wrong about you?
How could i have been so wrong about you?
With love on our side
With love on our side
Here's the masquerade of our living
Well, i hope it makes you feel better
It's for our own protection
I thought we were forever, me and you
But nothin's forever, i guess it's true
Chorus:
Eden is burning
I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eden is burning
I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eden is burning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

14. _ R.o.c.k. In The U.s.a (a Salute To The 60
They come from the cities
And they come from the smaller towns
Beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin crack boom bam
Chorus:
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a., yeah, yeah!
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Hey!
Voices from nowhere
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside down
There was frankie lyman-bobby fuller-mitch ryder
(they were rockin')
Jackie wilson-shangra-las-young rascals
(they were rockin')
Spotlight on martha reeves
Let's don't forget james brown
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Hey!
Chorus:
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a., yeah, yeah!
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
