 Repossessed » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ What About Me
I seen another soldier who got wasted in the war
He said he left his soul there overseas
The notion he defended doesn't matter anymore
And circumstance had brought him to his knees
We sat there in the silence of a cold and empty room
Down the hall i heard a baby cry
He looked up from the potion he was cooking in a spoon
And nailed me with the anger in his eye
Chorus:
He said, do you really believe in freedom ?
I said, i do
He said, oh, what about me ?
They killed both of her parents in an undercover war
For wanting all their children to be free
She said, it's even sadder that it's in el salvador
They named it for the savior don't you see
Suddenly the truth was like a blinding flash of light
Holy thunder rolled across the sky
I stared into the wonder of the warrior jesus christ
And destiny was burning in his eyes.
Chorus:
He said, do you really believe in freedom ?
I said, i do
He said, oh, what about me ?
And the sandinista said, do you really believe in freedom ?
I said, i do
He said, oh, what about me ?

2. _ Love Is The Way
Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness
A tiny blue marble is spinning through space
Born in the splendor of god's holy vision
And sliding away like a tear down his face
Closer you see the whole wide holy wonder
Of oceans and mountains and rivers and trees
And the strangest creation of many, the human
A creature of laughter and freedom and dreams
Now the warriors are waving their old rusty sabres
The preachers are preaching the gospel of hate
By their behaviour determined to teach us
A lesson we're soon to be learning to late.
Look closer my brother, we're killing each other
And we'd better stop and get started today
Because life is the question and life is the answer
And god is the reason and love is the way.
Because life is the question and life is the answer
And god is the reason and love is the way.
Because life is the question and life is the answer
And god is the reason and love is the way.
Yes, life is the question and life is the answer
And god is the reason and love is the way.

3. _ Mean Old Man
If i look like a mean old man that's what i am
If i look like a mean old man that's what i am
If i look like a mean old man
Who'll do you any way he can
To break your heart and kiss your hand
That's what i am
And if i look like a good old friend that's what i am
If i look like a good old friend that's what i am
If i look like a good old friend
Who's good at bending with the wind
To be your friend right to the end
That's what i am
Chorus:
And if i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll
Who takes his licking standing tall
Who'd rather bite you back than crawl
That's what i am
If i look like your uncle bob that's what i am
If i look like your uncle bob that's what i am
If i look like your uncle bob
Who likes to slap you on the back and rob you
While he still can do the job
That's what i am
Chorus:
And if i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll
Who takes his licking standing tall
Who'd rather bite you back than crawl
That's what i am

4. _ El Coyote
They call him a bandit
And you know the notches
That he ought to wear on his gun
He sees you through eyes
He's partially blinded
>from staring to long at the sun
But he's true to his school
And he's nobody's fool
And he's lucky to still be alive
The wolf pack will die
When it's scattered by man
Lonesome coyotes survive.
He burried his feelings
And life was a mountain
That he was determined to climb
Then he caught the scent
Of a sister in spirit
Who taught him to love her in time
Somehow or other
She gathered together
The cubs that he sired on the way
And they run by his side
Through the chill hungry night
And they sleep to his sweet serenade
There's a part of his heart up in heaven
And a part that will always be wild
And all he can leave them is love and a reason
To run for the rest of their lifves
Lonesome coyotes survive.
There's a part of his heart up in heaven
And a part that will always be wild
And all he can leave them is love and a reason
To run for the rest of their lifves
Lonesome coyotes survive.

5. _ They Killed Him
There was a man named mahatma ghandi
He would not bow down, he would not fight
He knew the deal was down and dirty
And nothing wrong could make it right away
But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay
Just another holy man who tried to make a stand
My god, they killed him !
Another man from atlanta, georgia
By the name of martin luther king
He shook the land like rolling thunder
And made the bells of freedom ring today
With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
My god, they killed him !
The only son of god almighty
The holy one called jesus christ
Healed the lame and fed the hungry
And for his love they took his life away
On the road to glory where the story never ends
Just the holy son of man we'll never understand
My god, they killed him !
Sing about mahatma ghandi
Sing of martin luther king
Sing of jesus christ almighty
And the brothers kennedy

6. _ This Old Road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams
Smiling ain't so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothing's simple as it seems
But i guess you count your blessings with the problems
That you're dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons
Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road
Looking at a looking glass
Running out of time
On a face you used to know
Traces of a future lost
In between the lines
One more rainbow for the road
Thinking of the faces in the window
That you passed along the way
Or the last thing you believed in
Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road
Say you tried to chase the sundown
And you let it slip away
And the holy night is falling
Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you ?

7. _ The Heart
My daddy was a charmer, boys, he had a lot of style
He was shining best at everything he did
They said that he could lighten up a room with just a smile
And i was proud as hell to be his kid
It seemed like just as we were growing close together he was gone
But it was long enough to show what i could be
And i sometimes feel his spirit fill my body like a song
And this is what my daddy sings to me
Chorus:
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'cause the heart is all that matters in the end
They say every song is sweeter when you sing it from the heart
I won't knock it 'cause i tried it and it's true
I may never get to heaven, but i've seen a lot of stars
And i'm here to bring the same advice to you.
Chorus:
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'cause the heart is all that matters in the end
Yes, the heart is all that matters in the end
The heart is all that matters in the end

8. _ Anthem '84
If you're looking for a fighter who'll defend you
And love you for your freedom. i'm your man.
And i ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doing
But don't ask me to lend a helping hand.
You were such a pretty dream as i remember
You were young and strong and god was on your side.
But vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
And you traded your compassion for your pride.
But i still believe in all that we believed in.
And i pray to god that you will in the end.
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wasting.
And be the loving beauty that you can.
But i still believe in all that we believed in.
And i pray to god that you will in the end.
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wasting.
And be the loving beauty that you can.

9. _ El Gavilan (the Hawk)
You gotta make your own rules, child
You gotta break your own chains
The dreams that possess you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane
The moment is yours now
To lay on the line
The past just don't matter
Tomorrow won't mind
Lay down beside me
Show me a sign
Let me feel your spirit
Running with mine
I don't deserve you
I'm just a man
But i swear i'll love you
Just as hard as i can
Storm on the mountain
Stars in the sky
Running for glory
Freedom to fly
Will you remember
Way down the road
Somebody loves you
More than you know
