Ecstasy
by Rusted Root

Take it away your paper and pen
Stacks of money and your foolish grin and go
Hey get me off this backwards ride,
Take it away your greedy way and go
See the woman standing at the door world
Gone by, again and again
See the blisters growing on her feet world
Pushed on, a pushed up

World gone by
World gone by...

Take it away your companies,
Take it away your societies and go
Get me off this backwards ride
Take it away your ficticious books
See the woman standing at the door world
Gone by, again and again
See the blisters growing on her feet world
Pushed on, a pushed up

World gone by (3x's)
World gone by...

I - wouldn't - want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you

(2x's)

Wasted arms, wasted legs
Wrapped round this machine
The military machine -- military machine
'A the Militaire - the military machine
In the Militaire - the military machine.…

(Chorus 4x's)…with you

Yea-------how would you know
Yea--------the materiol
In the militaire – in the military machine
In the militaire – in the military machine

(Chorus 4x's)…with you

"Bring on The Lucie (Freda Peeple)"
by John Lennon



We Don't care what flag you're waving
We don't even want to know your name
We don't care where you're from or where you're going
All we know is that you came
You're making all our decisions
We have just one request of you
That while you're thinking things over
Here's something you just better do

Free the people now
Do it Do it Do it Do it Do it now

Well we were caught with our hands in the air
Don't despair paranoia is everywhere
We can shake it with love when we're scared
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer

Free the people now
Do it Do it Do it Do it Do it now

We understand your paranoia
but we don't want to play your game
You think you're cool and know what you are doing
666 is your name
So while you're jerking off each other
You better bear this thought in mind
Your time is up you better know it
But maybe you don't read the signs

Free the people now
Do it Do it Do it Do it Do it now

Well you were caught with your hands in the kill
And you still got to swallow your pill
And you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed

Stop the killing now
Do it Do it Do it Do it Do it now
Bring on the lucie

[Crimson and Clover]

"Eve of Destruction" Barry McGuire

The Eastern world, it is explodin',
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'.
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin',
You don't believe in war -- but what's that gun you're totin'?
An' even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'.
But you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say,
An' can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away,
There'll be no one to save, will the world in a grave.
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy.
An' you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeak, my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here just contemplatin'.
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
Handful of senators don't pass legislation,
An' marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin',
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'.
An' you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China,
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama.
Ah, you may leave here for four days in space,
But when you return it's the same ol' place,
The poundin' of the drums, the pride an' disgrace.
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace.
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,
An' tell me, over and over and over again, my friend,
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction,
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Love Makes The World Go Round by Madonna

Make love not war we say
It's easy to recite
But it don't mean a damn
Unless we're gonna fight
But not with guns and knives
We've got to save the lives
Of every boy and girl
That grows up in this world
There's hunger everywhere
We've got to take a stand
Reach out for someone's hand
Love makes the world go round
It's easy to forget
If you don't hear the sound
Of pain and prejudice
Love makes the world go round

They think that love's a lie
But we can teach them how to try
Love means to understand
Reach out for someone's hand
'Cause everything you do
Comes back in time to you
We have to change our fate
Before it gets too late

There's hunger everywhere
We've got to take a stand
Reach out for someone's hand
Love makes the world go round
It's easy to forget
If you don't hear the sound
Of pain and prejudice
Love makes the world go round

Don't judge a man 'til you've been standin' in his shoes
You know that we're all so quick to look away
'Cause it's the easy thing to do
You know that what I say is true

Love makes the world go round...

Make love not war we say
It's easy to recite
But it don't mean a damn
Unless we're gonna fight

There's hunger everywhere
We've got to take a stand
Reach out for someone's hand
Love makes the world go round
It's easy to forget
If you don't hear the sound
Of pain and prejudice
Love makes the world go round

La la la la la la la...

[Jem]

Revenge by Madonna

There is no such thing as revenge
You will not give as good as you got
There is no such thing as an eye for an eye
If you think you're the giver, you're not

There is no such thing as regret
There is no point in placing the blame
Hate destroys the one who hates
And everyone suffers the same

What you see
Is not necessarily what you get
Eyes are the windows to the soul
Take your judgements
And let them go


There is only love and respect
To thine own self be true
When you point the finger
There are three fingers pointing back at you

What you see
Is not necessarily what you get
Eyes are the windows to the soul
Take your judgements
And let them go

Let them go
Let them go
Let them go

Recognize that God is alive in everyone
Recognize that love lives in us all

What you see
Is not necesarilly what you get
Eyes are the windows to the soul
Take your judgements
And let them go

Let them go
Let them go
Let thm go

[ABlairican Pie]

This is in my siggy, but here goes:

War Pigs

Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in the masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
OH, LORD, YEAH!!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor
YEAH!!

Time will tell them, they're power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes
YEAH!!

Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
And as God has struck the hour
Day of Judgement God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
OH, LORD, YEAH!!

[Penny Lane]

Yeah, Penny Lane, I've been wondering where John Lennon Lives and Lacy in the Sky are too. You did notice, didn't you, that his entry is from February?


The Fish Cheer & I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag
--By Country Joe and the Fish


Gimme an F!

F!
Gimme an I!

I!
Gimme an S!

S!
Gimme an H!

H!
What's that spell ?

FISH!
What's that spell ?

FISH!
What's that spell ?

FISH!
Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

[ABlairican Pie]
