POMPOUS FOOL
Don't you worry, don't be blue
Let your woman, take care of you
Live your life, by the golden rule
Pay no mind, to the pompous fool

Do you wanna dance, do you wanna sing
Do you still believe that Jerry Lee was king
Is it your opinion that Charlie Wilson’s cool
Pay no mind, to the pompous fool

In life you know, may I say to you
Be careful who you follow
There may be no more tomorrow
If you follow the pompous fool

So don’t you worry, don’t be blue
Let your woman, take care of you
Do your thing by the golden rule
Pay no mind, to the pompous fool

In life you know, may I say to you
Be careful who you follow
There ain't nobody home
Fear knocking on the door
In the mind of the pompous fool

Do you wanna laugh, do you wanna cry
Do you still believe in you and I
Is it your opinion, that we should start again
And turn the volume down from number 10
Don’t you worry, don’t be blue
Let your woman, take care of you
Live your life, by the golden rule
Pay no mind, to the pompous fool

HEART OF A CHILD
Put down that gun boy
Don't blow your life away
We're gonna need you
Make it through the day
They put it to you
They put it in your head
Made you believe that
You'd be better off dead

But don't break the heart of your child
Don't let the fear drive you wild

We lost the love of a
Man I was proud to know
They locked you down boy
Made you grieve alone
Turn off the TV
Throw your phone away
Don't you remember
What your daddy used to say

Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let your fear drive you wild

The pain you're feeling
Cuts me to the bone
I'm right there with you boy
You'll never be alone
There's someone else here
Someone who can't complain
She don't know if you'll be
Coming home again

Don't break the heart of this child
Don't let your tears drive you wild (oh Lord)
Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let your tears drive you wild

Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let the fear drive you wild

MOON RIVER
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
You dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Sailin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

We're after the same rainbow's end
Sailin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

SAM HALL
Well my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Yes my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
Well my name it is Sam Hall, and I've robbed both great and small
And my neck will pay for all, when I die, when I die
Yes my neck will pay for all, when I die

I have 20 pounds in store, that's not all, that's not all
I've got 20 pounds in store, that's not all
I've got 20 pounds in store, and I'll rob for twenty more
For the rich must help the poor, so must I, so must I
Yes the rich must help the poor, so must I

And they took me to Coote Hill in a cart, in a cart
Yes they took me to Coote Hill in a cart
Well they took me to Coote Hill, and that's where I wrote my will
For the best of friends must part, so must I, so must I
And the best of friends must part, so must I

Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope, and the hangman pulled the rope
Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down, tumblin' down
Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down

Oh, me name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep, chimney sweep
Yes my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
Well my name it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all
You're a bunch of muggers all, damn your eyes, damn your eyes
You're a bunch of muggers all, damn your eyes

SMILE
Smile, though your heart is achin’
Smile, even though it's breakin’
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by If you smile through your tears and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you just smile

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near
That's the time you must keep on tryin’
Smile, what's the use of cryin’
You'll see that life is still worth while
If you'll just smile

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on tryin’
Smile, what's the use of cryin’
You'll see that life is still worth while
If you'll just smile

ALWAYS ON MY MIND
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

And maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
And give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

ONE WOMAN
If the sun should fall from Heaven
Would you rescue me?
Give me eyes to see?
And if I lose the joy of living
Would you feel my need?
Would you rescue me?

Well, I've had love, both good and bad
From all the love l've had
I've learned something, baby
Something 'bout me
It's gotta be

One woman
To hold on to
Baby, through the good and the bad
We all know that a man needs
One woman
To hold on to
Maybe that woman is you

And when the world turns cold and friendless
Will you reach for me?
'Cause you know that I'll be thеre
When the tеars you cry are endless
Lady, don't cry in vain
You know I'll ease your pain
'Cause l've got open arms for you
A heart that's always true
Love has opened up my eyes
To the one thing I need
It's gotta be

One woman
To hold on to
Baby, through the good and the bad
We all know that a man needs
One woman
To hold on to
Maybe that woman is you

And with everything I got
Baby, I'm holding on
With what I am and what I'm not
Baby, I'm holding on
With every breath and every thought
Holding on
One woman
One woman

'Cause l've got open arms for you
A heart that's always true
Love has opened up my eyes
To the one thing I need
It's gotta be
One woman
To hold on to
Baby, through the good and the bad
We all know that a man needs
One woman
To hold on to
Baby, that woman is you

One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman
One woman

THE REBELS
Where have all the rebels gone
Hiding behind their computer screens
Where's the spirit, where is the soul
Where have all the rebels gone

Better come out of the woodwork now
One for the money, and two for the show
It's not very rock-n-roll
Where have all the rebels gone

Where have all the rebels gone
Someone else gotta make a move
They're not saying very much at all
Where have all the rebels gone

Were they really all that tough
Or was it just some PR stunt
One for the money, two for the show
Where did all the rebels go

Where have all the rebels gone
One for the money, two for the show
It's not very rock-n-roll
Where have all the rebels gone

Were they really all that tough
Or was it just some PR stunt
They're not saying very much at all
Where have all the rebels gone

Where have all the rebels gone
Hiding behind their computer screens
Where's the spirit, where is the soul
Where have all the rebels gone

Why don't they come out of the woodwork now
One for the money, two for the show
I can't find anyone at all
Where have all the rebels gone

THE CALL
Got a message last night
Came through loud and clear
Called you right back
But there's no one there
Sounded so sad
Tried the other phone
Either you're gone
Or you're all alone
The tone of your voice
Sounded so weird
Like you've been drinking
After all these years
Sent me to thinking
About those bad good old days
All the corners we cut
And all the halls we played
Sins that we stole
The hell we raised
Spite of it all
The music we played
The music God made

Remember those sisters
With the shiny black hair
One fell in love
One didn't dare
Sounded so sweet
One high, one low
Where are they now?
Nobody knows
Still got some pictures
You still got my shirt
You know the one
I let you wear to work
Remember that night
We both nearly cried
Singing that song
Somebody dies
Somebody died

Show that you noticed
Still out on the road
Singing them songs
To bring it all back home
I give you a shout
When you're somewhere near
You could come on out
It's not far from here
You could come on out
And you might even play
Just one more time
For old times' sake
For old times' sake

HOW COULD WE KNOW
Look at me
Suddenly I'm as sad as can be, lonely
Look at you
Even blue eyes can turn deeper blue, so blue

How could we know where this love would go
Faith is a word that means love will grow
Now we've found out
That it isn't always so

Look at us
Something changed and it turned all our dreams to dust
And we lost
All the joy that we had just like gold to rust

How could we know where this love would go
Faith is a word that means love will grow
Now we've found out, that it isn't always so
How could we know, that it isn't always so

Nobody's to blame
Nothing's gonna change
The way the river flows
The way she flows
People learn to love again
When they learn to just let go

How could we know where this love would go
Faith is a word that means love will grow
Now we've found out, that it isn't always so
How could we know, that it isn't always so

Look at time
It can heal you and help you to find new hope
One sweet night
We might find the love we search for
The love we own

How could we know where this love would go
Faith is a word that means love will grow
Love breaks your heart, but it isn't always so
If we don't try again, how will we ever know

THIS HAS GOTTA STOP
This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

I knew that something was going on wrong
When you started laying down the law

I can't move my hands
I break out in sweat
I wanna cry
Can't take it anymore

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

I've been around
Long, long time
Seen it all
And I'm used to being free

I know who I am
Try to do what's right
So lock me up and throw away the key

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

Thinkin' of my kids
What's left for them
And then what's coming down the road

The light in the tunnel
Could be the southbound train
Lord, please help them with their load

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

STAND AND DELIVER
Stand and deliver
You let them put the fear on you
Stand and deliver
But not a word you heard was true
But if there's nothing you can say
There may be nothing you can do

Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna be a free man
Or do you wanna be a slave?
Do you wanna wear these chains
Until you're lying in the grave?

I don't wanna be a pauper
And I don't wanna be a prince
I don't wanna be a pauper
And I don't wanna be a prince
I just wanna do my job
Playing the blues for my friends

Magna Carta, Bill of Rights
The constitution, what's it worth?
You know they're gonna grind us down, ah
Until it really hurts
Is this a sovereign nation
Or just a police state?
You better look out, people
Before it gets too late

You wanna be your own driver
Or keep on flogging a dead horse?
You wanna be your own driver
Or keep on flogging a dead horse?
Do you wanna make it better
Or do you wanna make it worse?

Stand and deliver
You let them put the fear on you
Slow down the river
But not a word of it was true
If there's nothing you can say
There may be nothing you can do

Stand and deliver
Stand and deliver
Dick Turpin wore a mask too

YOU'VE CHANGED
Gee, you've changed
Since the day you told me your name
Yes, you've changed
Your kisses don't feel the same
How, you've changed
Our romance to a crazy game

First you told me
How you loved me and I believed
Then you sold me
On the vow that you'd never leave
Now you scold me
Caring not how my heart grieves

Oh, how I've loved you
Since the day you told me your name
Yes, I loved you
Thinking you all the while felt the same
And I'll still love you
Even though I know you've changed

MISFORTUNE
Good morning, misfortune
What you got for me today?
Good morning, misfortune
What you got for me today?

Nothing but trouble
Ever seems to pass this way

Good morning, misfortune
What you doing to my head?
Good morning, misfortune
What you doing to my head?

Making me remember
All those things I shouldn't have said

Good morning, misfortune
What you doing with my heart?
Good morning, misfortune
What you doing to my heart?

Taking all my lovin'
Tearing me apart
