A NEW DAY FOR LOVE

It's a new day for the planet

It's a new day for the sun

To shine down on what we're doin'

It's a new day for love

It's a bad day to do nothin'

With so many people needin' our help

To keep their lands away from the greedy

Who only plunder for themselves

All the people in the whole wide world

Nobody matters but you and me

When it comes to protecting our precious gift

(It's a new day) It's the big scene from the movies

(It's a big scene) Where the gunslinger rides away

(It's a big scene) Outside a town past the needy

(It's a big scene) And the rows of soldiers' graves

(It's a new day) They fought the wars we thought we needed

(It's a new day) They never asked us for a thing

(It's a new day) And we believed in what we were doin'

(It's a new day) While the earth is givin' way

Of all the feelings in the whole wide world

I can't begin to do or say

Anything but protect our precious gift

It's a new day for the planet

It's a new day for the sun

To shine down on what we're doin'

It's a new day for love

It's a new day for love

It's a new day for love

It's a new day for love

It's a new day for love...

WOLF MOON

Wolf moon thank you for risin'

Big sky I'm grateful for your parting clouds

I know some hearts were broken

Big crows still flying in your sky

Herds of elk roam upon your meadows

And your eagle soars across my eyes

While you withstand the thoughtless plundering

Wolf moon keep on shinin'

Your days rolling by in timeless grace

Your heart just keeps on beating

Inside the beauty of this place

Less fish swimmin' in your oceans

Old ice floating in your seas

Still you hold against the constant plundering

Wolf moon

Wolf moon thank you for risin'

Big sky I'm grateful for your parting clouds

Seeds of life your glowing fields of wheat

Windy fields of barley at your feet

While you endure the thoughtless plundering

PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT LOVE

People want to hear songs of love

People want to hear about love

Don't talk about the Chevron millions going to the pipeline politicians

People want to hear about love

Don't talk about of the beautiful fish in the deep blue sea, dyin'

People want to hear about love

People want to hear about love now

If it will make them feel all right

People want to hear about love

People want to hear

People want to hear about love

Don't talk about the corporations hijacking all your rights

People want to hear about love

Don't mention world poverty talk about global love

People want to hear about love

People want to hear about love now

If it will make them feel all right

People want to hear about love

People want to hear

People want to hear about love

Don't say to Citizens United has killed democracy

People want to hear about love

Don't say pesticides are causing autistic children

People want to hear about love

Don't say people don't vote because they don't trust the candidates

People want to hear about love

People want to hear

People want to hear

People want to hear about love

People want to hear about love

People want to hear

People want to hear about love

People want to hear about love

People want to hear

People want to hear about love

BIG BOX

Wonderco got in money trouble had to break the law

Had to balance the fine against the benefit to all

Made a business decision to pay the fine and break the law

Too big to fail, too rich for jail

He can live without so why can't we

After all they're just like you and me

They cast their votes and no one gets excited

Because they are citizens united

In the streets of the capital corporations are taking control

Democracy crushed at their feet

Money flows free from the sky to those who come along

Some way, somehow, we will prevail, but now

How can we regain our freedom

Lost by our own laws we must abide

When will we take back our freedom

To choose the way we live and die

Main Street's boarded up now the whole town's asleep

The mom 'n pop got boarded up, a small business retreat

Sprayed windows and broken glass, another car on the street

Out at the big box store people lined up for more

People working part-time at Walmart

Never get the benefits for sure

Why not make it to full time at Walmart?

Still standing by for the call to work

Corporations have feelings, corporations have soul

That's why they're like people just harder to control

They don't want to fall, so when they fall, they fall on you

Too big to fail, too rich for jail

From the capital out to the boarded-up main streets

Big business is there at every turn

From the food we eat to the clothes we wear to the TV screen

From the air we breathe to the fuel we burn

A ROCK STAR BUCKS A COFFEE SHOP

If you don't like to rock Starbucks a coffee shop

Well you better change your station 'cause that ain't all that we got

Yeah, I want a cup of coffee but I don't want a GMO

I like to start my day off without helping Monsanto

Monsanto

Let our farmers grow

What they want to grow

From the fields of Nebraska to the banks of the Ohio

The farmers won't be free to grow what they want to grow

When corporate control takes over the American farm

With fascist politicians and chemical giants walking arm in arm

Monsanto

Let our farmers grow

What they want to grow

When the people of Vermont wanted to label food with GMOs

So that they could find out what was in what the farmer grows

Monsanto and Starbucks through the Grocery Manufacturers Alliance

They sued the state of Vermont to overturn the people's will

Monsanto...and Starbucks

Mothers want to know

What they feed their children

Monsanto

Let our farmers grow

What they want to grow

WORKIN' MAN

A working man in Indiana travelled from farm to farm

Plantin' seeds and talkin' weather, working 90 farms

Got to know the farmers knew all of their kids

Out in the country, that was '96

His life was good and steady when seeds were cash

Next year the farmers were ready, the times were changing fast

Supreme Court in session made a new law

GMO seeds and patents had a fatal flaw

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas once worked for Monsanto

Well I don't know you but I do know who I am

One summer morning just around dawn

Four men with briefcases were on the working man's lawn

We're gonna to sue you, take you to court

For patent infringement, the criminals you support

We're from Monsanto we own the seeds

Give us the names of those farmers you seek

You're gonna need big money to stand your ground

Or we're gonna bury you, how does that sound?

Working man lost all is his friends, his business too

Well I don't know you but I do know who I am

Now times have changed, things are picking up

The wheels are rolling again on the old seed truck

The cleaner's coming back have taken back the land

They don't care the cost they're gonna take a stand

Well I don't know you but I do know who I am

Well I don't know you but I do know who I am

RULES OF CHANGE

No-one owns the sacred seed

No man's law can change that

Seeds have floated, birds have flown

Seeds have travelled far from home

Seeds have floated, birds have flown

Seeds have travelled far from home

Seeds are life it can't be owned

Not even by Monsanto

People must be free to grow

Out of balance money grows

Corporations take control

Halls of justice got this wrong

Life cannot be owned

Halls of justice leave a hollow ring inside

When I try to forget

Things I know that no one knows but me

Wrong side of right, right side of wrong

Halls of justice, rules of change

Rolling by in front of me

Human people feeling strange

Things happening in front of them

Human people feeling strange things happening

In front of them

Wrong side of right

Right side of wrong

MONSANTO YEARS

You never know what the future holds in the shallow soil of Monsanto, Monsanto

The moon is full and the seeds are sown while the farmer toils for Monsanto, Monsanto

When these seeds rise they're ready for the pesticide

And roundup comes and brings the poison tide of Monsanto, Monsanto

The farmer knows he's got to grow what he can sell, Monsanto, Monsanto

So he signs a deal for GMOs that makes life hell with Monsanto, Monsanto

Every year he buys the patented seeds

Poison-ready they're what the corporation needs

Monsanto

When you shop for your daily bread and walk the aisles of Safeway, Safeway

Find the package to catch your eye that makes you smile at Safeway, Safeway

Choose a picture of an old red barn on a field of green

With the farmer and his wife and children to complete the scene at Safeway, Safeway

Dreams of the past come flooding back to the farmer's mind, his mother and father

Family seeds they used to save were gifts from God, not Monsanto, Monsanto

Their own child grows ill near the poisoned crops

While they work on, they can't find an easy way to stop, Monsanto, Monsanto

Don't care now what the Bible said so long ago not Monsanto, Monsanto

Give us this day our daily bread and let us not go with Monsanto, Monsanto

The seeds of life are not what they once were

Mother Nature and God don't own them anymore

IF I DON'T KNOW

If I don't know what I'm doin'

And all my big ideas fail

Like build a dam against the water so the river dies

Veins, Earth's blood

And if I don't know what I'm sayin'

And all the world's dreams come true

Like finding oil and shooting poison in the ground

Veins, Earth's blood

And if the melodies stay pretty

And the songs are not too long

I'll try to find a way to get them back to you

Veins, the Earth's blood

The Veins, Earth’s blood

The Veins, Earth’s blood

Veins, Earth’s blood

Veins, Earth’s blood

10. That Lucky Old Sun

I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU

I'm a fool to want you

I'm a fool to want you

To want a love that can't be true

A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you

Such a fool to hold you

To seek a kiss not mine alone

To share a kiss that the devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you

Time and time again I went away

But then would come a time when I would need you

And once again these words I had to say

I'm a fool to want you

Pity me, I need you

I know it's wrong, it must be wrong

But right or wrong I can't get along, without you

Time and time again I said I'd leave you

Time and time again I went away

But then would come a time when I would need you

And once again these words I have to say

Take me back, I love you

Pity me, I need you

I know it's wrong, it must be wrong

But right or wrong I can't get along, without you

THE NIGHT WE CALLED IT A DAY

There was a moon out in space

But a cloud drifted over it's face

You kissed me and went on your way

The night we called it a day

I heard the song of the spheres

Like a minor lament in my ears

I hadn't the heart left to pray

The night we called it a day

Soft through the dark

The hoot of an owl in the sky

Sad though his song

No bluer than he was I

The moon went down stars were gone

But the sun didn't rise with the dawn

There wasn't a thing left to say

The night we called it a day

Soft through the dark

The hoot of an owl in the sky

Sad though his song

No bluer than he was I

The moon went down stars were gone

But the sun didn't rise with the dawn

There wasn't a thing left to say

The night we called it a day

STAY WITH ME

Should my heart not be humble

Should my eyes fail to see

Should my feet sometimes stumble

On the way, stay with me

Like the lamb that in springtime

Wanders far from the fold

Comes the darkness and the frost

I get lost

I grow cold

I grow cold, I grow weary

And I know I have sinned

And I go, seeking shelter

And I cry in the wind

Though I grope and I blunder

And I'm weak and I'm wrong

Though the road buckles under

Where I walk, walk along

Till I find to my wonder

Every path leads to Thee

All that I can do is pray

Stay with me

Stay with me

AUTUMN LEAVES

The falling leaves

Drift by the window

The autumn leaves

Of red and gold

I see your lips

The summer kisses

The sunburned hands

I used to hold

Since you went away

The days grow long

And soon I'll hear

Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all

My darling

When autumn leaves

Start to fall

WHY TRY TO CHANGE ME NOW

I'm sentimental

So I walk in the rain

I've got some habits

Even I can't explain

Could start for the corner

Turn up in Spain

Why try to change me now?

I sit and daydream

I've got daydreams galore

Cigarette ashes

There they go on the floor

I go away weekends

And leave my keys in the door

But why try to change me now?

Why can't I be more conventional

People talk, people stare, so I try

But that's not for me, cause I can't see

My kind of crazy world go passing me by

So let people wonder

Let 'em laugh, let 'em frown

You know I'll love you

Till the moon's upside down

Don't you remember

I was always your clown

Why try to change me now?

Don't you remember

I was always your clown

But why try to change me?

Why try to change me now?

SOME ENCHANTED EVENING

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger

You may see a stranger across a crowded room

And somehow you know, you know even then

That somehow you'll see her again and again

Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing

You may hear her laughing across a crowded room

And night after night, as strange as it seems

The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams

Who can explain it, who can tell you why?

Fools give you reasons, wise men never try

Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love

When you feel her call you across a crowded room

Then fly to her side and make her your own

Or all through your life you may dream all alone

Once that you found her, never let her go

Once you have found her, never let her go

FULL MOON AND EMPTY ARMS

Full moon and empty arms

The moon is there for us to share

But where are you?

A night like this

Could weave a memory

And every kiss

Could start a dream for two

Full moon and empty arms

Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon

And next full moon

If my one wish comes true

My empty arms will be filled with you

Full moon and empty arms

Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon

And next full moon

If my one wish comes true

My empty arms will be filled with you

WHERE ARE YOU?

Where are you?

Where have you gone without me?

I thought you cared about me

Where are you?

Where's my heart?

Where is the dream we started?

I can't believe we're parted

Where are you

When we said good-bye love

What had we to gain

When I gave you my love

Was it all in vain

All life through

Must I go on pretending

Where is my happy ending

Where are you

When we said good-bye love

What had we to gain

When I gave you my love

Was it all in vain

All life through

Must I go on pretending

Where is that happy ending

Where are you?

Where are you?

WHAT'LL I DO

What'll I do

When you are far away

And I am blue

What'll I do?

What'll I do

When I am wondering who

Is kissing you

What'll I do?

What'll I do

With just a photograph

To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone

With only dreams of you

That won't come true

What'll I do?

What'll I do

With just a photograph

To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone

With only dreams of you

That won't come true

What'll I do?

THAT LUCKY OLD SUN

Up in the mornin', out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids

Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray

While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above, can't you see I'm pining

Tears in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to paradise

Show me that river, take me across

And wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day

Oh Lord above, can't you know I'm pining

Tears in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to paradise

Show me that river, take me across

And wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day
