PEACE TRAIL
Up in the rainbow teepee sky
No one's looking down on you or I
That's just a mirror in your eye
Ain't taken my last hit yet
I know that things are different now
I see the same old signs,
but something new is growing
Don't think I'll cash it in yet
Don't think I'll put down my last bet
I'm gonna keep my hand in,
because something new is growing
Think I'll hit the peace trail
Take a trip back home to my old town
'Cause everyone back there says
Something new is growing
Up in the rainbow teepee sky
No one's looking down on you or I
It's just a mirror in our eye
If I believe in someone
I have to believe in myself
I have to take good care
when something new is growing
The world is full of changes
Sometimes all these changes make me sad
I have to plant them seeds,
till something new is growing
I think I'll hit the peace trail
I know that treasure takes its time
I have to take good care
when something new is growing
I think I'll hit the peace trail
I think I like my chances now
I have to take good care
when something new is growing
I think I'll hit the peace trail
I think I'll hit the peace trail now
Because something new is growing
CAN'T STOP WORKIN'
Well I can't stop workin' cause I like to work
When nothing else is going on
It's bad for the body but it's good for the soul
Might even keep you breathing when you lose control
Can't stop workin'
Can't stop workin'
Where have I been for all these years
I thought I knew you better
Come down to the edge of the sea today
And write a letter, there in the sand
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
I can't stop workin' cause I like to work
When nothing else is going on
It's bad for the body but it's good for the soul
Might even keep me breathing when I lose control
Can't stop workin'
Can't stop workin'
I might take some time off
I can't stop workin'
Might take time off
For forgiveness
Forgiveness
Can't stop workin'
Can't stop workin'
INDIAN GIVERS
There's a battle raging on the sacred land
Our brothers and sisters had to take a stand
Against us now for what we all been doin'
On the sacred land there's a battle brewin'
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Now it's been about 500 years
We keep taking what we gave away
Just like what we call indian givers
It makes you sick and gives you shivers
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Big money going backwards and ripping the soil
Where graves are scattered and blood was boiled
When all who look can see the truth
But they just move on and keep their groove
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Saw happy locked to the big machine
They had to cut him loose and you know what that means
That's when happy went to jail
Behind big money justice always fails
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Bring back the days when good was good
Lose these imposters in our neighborhood
Across our farms and through our waters
All at the cost of our sons and daughters
Yeah our brave sons and beautiful daughters
We're all here together fighting poison waters
Standing against the evil way
That's what we have at the end of day
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
SHOW ME
Do you see people being led by the righteous hand
Taking care of everyone like they're on a piece of land
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Do you see people's lives being lost on the sacred land
And the battle over water being fought for the baby's hand
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
When the women of the world are free to stand up for themselves
And the promises made stop gathering dust on the shelf
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Well, I hear you out there when you say what you have to say
I know how you feel 'cause that's what made me this way
When heaven on earth is improved by the hand of man
And people everywhere get together and join their hands
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
TEXAS RANGERS
Look, can you see things, when they show you
What they want you to know
Watch what you don't see, on the TV
When they hide the truth
Feel, how it hurts you
When the truth hides, in between the scenes
Cry, from the broken-hearted melody
That you hear in your dreams
Wow it's a runaway
Can you catch it? It's not in your hands
Slow, easy does it
When you find out, what deception means
Try, try to change it
Cause it hurts you and it holds back your dreams
Dreams of a New World
Evolution of the species to survive, truth that screams
Call, in the darkness
For the moment, of clear thinking joy
Laugh, when you find out
That the story that's spoken has broken like a toy
Lost, in the sandbox
Just left there, for no one to enjoy
Found, by the police
Who killed it, were filmed on the phone
Texas Rangers, had to ride in
To the rescue of all that's well and good
Texas Rangers, in pickups
Painted silver with bulldogs on the hood
Texas Rangers, come to save you
Come to rescue the bad and the good
Texas Rangers, (on the backroads), on the freeways
And in your neighborhood
Texas Rangers
Texas Rangers
Texas Rangers
Texas Rangers
TERRORIST SUICIDE HANG GLIDERS
Terrorist suicide hang gliders
In the sky above, you can't see
Hidden there in the darkness
Behind the reasons that you're free
I got some news along the way
That I bring to you with sorrow
I never knew till yesterday
My life would end tomorrow
I think I know who to blame
It's all those people with funny names
Moving in to our neighborhood
How can I tell if they're bad or good
Terrorist suicide hang gliders
In the sky above, you can't see
Hidden there in the darkness
Behind the reasons that you're free
JOHN OAKS
John Oaks is in the neighborhood
Protecting all the trees
He's the master of irrigation
And he knows what he sees
Grape farmers watering everywhere
Pipes running where they please
John sees his laws are broken
Trees drowning where they breathe
Now John used to be a mellow man
Drinking Chai and smoking weed
Ain't no one in the county
Ever see'd what he see'd
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
Old John rides in his pickup
With rakes and friends in the back
Workers he takes with him
Then he drives them all back
To protect them from the politicians
Using them to get ahead
Preying on the people
Trying to get inside their heads
John Oaks is really stand-up
He won't take shit lying down
He calls it like he sees it
And he puts his money down
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
One day at the demonstration
John Oaks was standing up
He arrived there at the location
In his old pickup truck
Took a rake in his hand
And his workers by his side
Stood there waiting for his turn
To speak and turn the tide
When he found himself surrounded
By police everywhere
They tried to take his workers to jail
When he grabbed one by his hair
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
Shots rang out and people yelled
As the police took control
Shot a black man right where he fell
With a sniper on the knoll
John Oaks saw law and order
Was leading him astray
Tried to get back in his pickup
With his workers to get away
That's when the police moved in
And stood there in his way
John started up his pickup
And that was his last day
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
They said he had a pistol
When the old pickup backfired
And shot him there behind the wheel
And then John Oaks expired
The workers grabbed the rakes
And that's all that I can say
They went to the cemetery
And they stay there to this day
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
John Oaks, John Oaks
MY PLEDGE
If it please the court I've had a lot to say
And it's not always been true
Standing here before you, judge
I make my pledge of truth to you
The waves came over the bowsprit
The decks awash with running green and foam
Back there at the wheel I was terrified
Next day we first saw home
My relatives came over on the Mayflower
Landed on the shore almost alone
No that damn traffic today is terrible
And everywhere I look I see people alone
Alone with their heads looking in their hands
Lost in the conversation stare
Walking with their eyes looking at the screen
Talking like they were really there
I'm lost in this new generation
Left me behind it seems
Listening to the shadow of Jimi Hendrix
"Purple Haze", sounding like TV
I stepped on someone's hand laying on the street
Both asleep and dead it may seem
He didn't even move there on the sidewalk
I stood there staring in a dream
She came along in her uniform
Stood moving me away with a gentle hand
Dressed in white like a nightingale
Her name was Florence, Florence of the Land
(I knew I'd seen her somewhere)
I knew I'd seen her somewhere
But she was busy with him gone
She came with three different brothers
Abraham, Martin and John
I heard a song about that once
And I never knew what it meant
Three stars died in a plane one night
Rock and Roll, the message that was sent
I couldn't wrap my head around it
Didn't know what it meant
Standing there on that sandy beach
Watching it turn to cement
Now I don't see all the colors
And I might miss some of their beauty
But I do see what I see
And I want to do my duty
Enlisted in the Navy at the corner store
They had a recruiting booth
I covered my heart and raised my hand
And swore it was the truth
That's my pledge
That's my pledge
That's my pledge, judge
That's my pledge
GLASS ACCIDENT
Woke up this morning to a glass accident
Glass fell in love with the floor
Too many pieces there for me to clean up
So I left a warning message by the door
Danger on a scary skull and crossbones
A piece of paper on the floor
Covered broken pieces of a love dream lingering there
That could do some damage for ever more
Just imagine what could go wrong
And how some life's could change forever
If you're not careful how you handle delicate things
But now is better than never
There was a lingering hope that made it through the dark night
And threatened everything there after
Hope that was confusing, looking like a bright light
Blinding you forever with its power
Woke up this morning to a glass accident
Glass fell in love with the floor
Too many pieces there for me to clean up
So I left a warning message by the door
MY NEW ROBOT
It's a lonely cup of coffee ‘cause my baby's gone
Someone has to work I know that's true
Carpenters bring ladders I bring love to you
Their working day begin under skies of blue
Is just now getting started and I'm sitting under a tree
Singing a song and thinking of you
My life has been so lucky the package is arrived
I got my new robot from Amazon dot com
Unpacking it now I have a sense of pride
I'm going online io program it for you
