To improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better… Read the rest of this entry »
You talk of sweeties bashful sweeties
I’ve got one of those
oh he’s handsome as can be
but he worries me
he goes to college
and gathers knowledge
oo, what that boy knows
he’s up in his Latin and Greek
but in his chicin’ he’s weak cause,
When I want some lovin’
and I gotta have some lovin’
He says please… Read the rest of this entry »
Sometimes
A heart has a mind of it’s own
Sometimes
I can tell myself
That I’m better off being alone
Sometimes
But this time
I can’t hide from the thought of it
It’s around every corner I turn
Right there in lights
In black and white
Staring at me
CHORUS:
It’s all because of you
That I feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other… Read the rest of this entry »

He did things his own way
From his upbringing he went astray
Mapped out a criminal course
Did so with no remorse

Go to work – go to school
Get an education – so you won’t be a fool
Be a doctor, get a PhD – all that shit’s not for me
All my life – people tell me what to say
This is my life – live it my own way
Was so blind – could not see
Figures of authority – always standing behind me
Ready to come down on me… Read the rest of this entry »
All of your ghosts
Litter the horizon
Glittering carcasses
I guess that makes twice then
Just like your daisies
And all of your buffallo
You dont worry
The children will mend what you tore
You dress yourself in sharkbites
You kill yourself in spoonfuls
You damn all the beehives
You make love to potholes
Your attention is a junkie
It has a wandering… Read the rest of this entry »
Don’t just sit and confuse your mind
Turn yourself around and make use of the time
For you know time wait for no one
Therefore I think you should go along
Don’t be a stock sitting on the shelf
Make a move and try to help yourself
Sometimes things may not look so well
They’re people who will give you hell
So make a move for time will tell
Or else you… Read the rest of this entry »
The streets were cold and barren
The nights were dark and dank
And the sky, hadn’t had a rain cloud in it

See the pyramids along the Nile
watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
just remember darling all the while
you belong to me
see the marketplace in old Algier
send me photographs and souvenirs
just remember when a dream appears
you belong to me
and I’ll be so alone without you
maybe you’ll be lonesome too
fly the ocean in a silver plane
see the jungle when it’s wet… Read the rest of this entry »
Where were you today?
I’m not sure if I should tell you
What have you got to say?
I’m sorry
You said you want to stay
I know, I know, I know, I’ve tried
So why did you run away?
Can’t ya see I’m tick’n like a time bomb
I’m tick’n like a time bomb
Won’t somebody come and light my fuse
What will it be tonight?
I won’t know until I get… Read the rest of this entry »
No, I’ll never give the hunt up,
And I won’t muck it up.
Somehow this is it, I knew.
Maybe fate wants you dead, too
We’ve come together in the very same room,
And I’m coming for you!
Do you think I’d ever let you
Get away with it, huh?
He swooned in warm… Read the rest of this entry »
Girl, I’ve known you for a long time,
So many times, you made me out the fool.
They say love is blind,
Babe, I’m too blind to see,
And now it’s a showdown,
Between you and me.
Showdown,
I can’t take it anymore.
Showdown,
Now I’m walking out the door.
I’ve done my time,
Now I’ve got better things to do.
Now it’s… Read the rest of this entry »
Every day, down by the water, a girl leaves her bamboo hut
Climbing up a ladder to a palm tree for a coconut
Oh–coconut
Oh–coconut
So I went a little bit closer, looking up the tree
And I asked if she would be willing to pick one for me
Oh–coconut… Read the rest of this entry »

Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothing goin’ down at all
Then one fine mornin’ she puts on a New York station

Well a poor boy took his father’s bread and started down the road
Started down the road
Took all he had and started down the road
Going out in this world, where God only knows
And that’ll be the way to get along
Well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land
Famine come in the land
Spent… Read the rest of this entry »
He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him AppleJack
Now old AppleJack was loved by everyone he ever knew
AppleJack picked apples but he picked the banjo too
Chorus:
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me and I’ll sing

De las cosas que estoy pasando

ay porque yo tengo muy penado

And which direction will take you away
