53rd Calypso ( by kv)

oh the sleeping drunkard down in central park

and the lion hunter in the jungle dark

the Chinese dentist and the british queen

they all fit together in the same machine

it’s nice nice very nice

nice nice very nice

nice nice very nice

so many different creatures in the same

in the same device.

Disarm

It’s time to take apart

All of these mistakes that we have made

And it’s time we use our hearts

And give up trying to think with our brains

It’s gone on long enough

It’s gone a little bit to far

But I think we still have time to

Turn around take it all apart

Disassemble the machines

Disable the means of their repair

Destroy all of the things

That have caused us so much sorrow and despair

Why would we ever build something

That could kill everybody

To some people our progress has been their Dream

But the weapons we make seem like a nightmare to me

And it’s still so hard to believe

That we would ever use such a thing

To kill our own fellow human beings

Money is the Law

The system that we’ve got

Doesn’t care at all

who’s right and who’s wrong

doesn’t care at all

The system we’ve set up

Doesn’t care if the bad guys get away

As long as everybody pays

(As long as the moneys being made)

Everyday

Millions of dollars are being made

In the name of justice and law

Everyday

Millions of people get locked away

All because they couldn’t pay

Murderers and thieves get set free on a technicality

That their lawyers found for them for a million dollar fee

It’s not about equality

Like it should be

It’s not about being fair

It’s about the money

It’s all about the money.

The rich people pay their bail

While the poor people stay in jail

Freedoms just another thing we sell

What I want to know

Is where all that money goes.

What I want to know

Is why there’s only poor

People on death row

Are we supposed to believe

That only the poor are guilty

Are we supposed to believe

That rich people can’t be thieves

Out There

Out on the interstate

Everything starts to look the same

All I can see are signs telling me that I should

Buy something, Try, Be, See

Eat, Drink, Want, Think.

But I don’t want anything all I really want is to see the scenery

And I’ve got everything I need all I really want is to see the scenery

Mile after mile I get so sick of them trying to sell their stuff to me

To make more money all their advertising Hypnotizing Me.

I used to imagine a place

Where everything wasn’t all the same

I used to think one day that I get away from this

And find someplace different

With more space for people to live

Someplace different, find someplace better than this

But now I’ve looked so long and it seems as if I must have been wrong

If there ever was such a place I guess I must have been born to late

Coast to coast it’s all the same I’ve given up on finding my place

Coast to coast it’s all the same they’ve got a hold of everything

Now it seems like such a shame and it seems like such a waste

They want to own everything and sell the rest to you and me

They don’t seem to even care that some of us don’t think it’s fair

And it’s so sad to know my place isn’t anywhere out there

Overlooked

It seems like in certain neighbor hoods

The Drugs get overlooked

Even though they’re everywhere

On every street corner business is good

But it’s somehow overlooked

It’s almost like they just care

And for some reason all these places

Share one common thing

Their population is mostly minorities

Another thing

that always seems to be the same

Is the fact that they all have poor economies

Do they really think that no ones gonna see

The correlation between all of these things

Do they really think that no ones figured out

That the governments not only failing to stop it, but helping out

Lincoln didn’t really free the slaves

But it sure is a nice thing to say

All he really did was make the racist think

Of a million new ways to enslave.

And it’s happening today

In a hundred different ways

Drugs are one of the many things

That our government does to show it’s love

for the people we owe a million apologies

They sweep them under the rug and they pump them with drugs

And they think that no one sees

And on top of all of that they’ve still got the nerve

To say they need money so they can try to stop it.

They call it a war and say they’re fighting hard

But their just Killing their enemies and still making a profit

A one Law world.

They can write a million books with a million different laws

But as far as I’m concerned we don’t them at all

All we really need is one, one law is all it takes

To have a world of peace, a world where everyone is safe

All we gotta teach

All we gotta preach

Is respect, respect for every living thing

All we gotta learn

All we gotta earn

Is respect for and from every living thing

If everyone could learn this one thing

Then everything else would fall into place

We’ve gotta start with ourselves and start right away

We’ve gotta think about it everyday

In every thing you say and everything you do

You’ve gotta to stop and think if you’d want it done to you

Separate

We don’t fit

Into this world and that’s okay

We don’t need it

Now it’s time to walk away

I used to try to figure out what I was gonna be

But nothing made me happy and nothing really sounded good to me

I used to think that I was the one who was wrong

I used to think I didn’t belong

I knew I couldn’t change the world on my own

I used to think I was all alone

This world

Wasn’t made, for you and me

This world

Wasn’t made for you and me

We’ve got to separate our selves and quit trying to fit in

We’ve got to separate our selves from them and really start to live

We’ve gotta educate ourselves we can’t

Depend on anyone else

We’re gonna have to make our own place

Cause we never live their way

We will never live their way

Start Over

I think we should burn all our history books today

And try our best to forget about all our past mistakes

‘cause I don’t think that history repeats it’s self

just because you forget to write it down

as a matter of fact I think the opposite

there wouldn’t be neo-nazis if they didn’t have Hitler to read about

if we ever want peace we’ll have to start from scratch

and try to forget about all about our past

our for fathers deeds are not our own

and I think they should all be disowned

(I think it’s time we start all over)

I don’t think that we should be living in yesterday

When we’ve got a lot of things that we could be doing to improve today

I know that we’ve done some horrible things

And that most of us should really be ashamed

But it seems like we’re never gonna get along

If we keep thinking about all those hateful things

If we ever want peace we’ll have to start from scratch

And try to forget about all about our past

Leave the grudges and guilt and hate behind

Try to make a world that’s yours and mine

( I think it’s time we start all over now)

The lucky ones

There’s a war that’s waged.

Behind closed doors everyday

Trust gets betrayed

With every new bruise that’s made

And goes unseen it goes unheard

The wounds might heal but it doesn’t

Mean they still don’t hurt

And they never really go away

On the outside things might seem okay

But the inside remains changed for good

Because when someone you love punches you in the face

It makes you think that maybe everyone acts that way

You wonder, who can you trust

You wonder, who can you love

When you can’t feel safe at home

Then you’ve got no where to go

And when you can’t feel safe at home

Then you know you’re all alone

I know it happens everyday and I don’t know what to say

And I don’t know what to think and I don’t know what to do

Did it happen to you it didn’t happen to me I guess that I got lucky

I’m sorry not everyone was as lucky as me.

There is a try

And even though I know it might not make a difference

I’m still gonna try and I’m still gonna fight

Well it might be a waste of time, but

It seems like a good way to spend my life

And even though I know it might not make a difference

I’m still gonna fight and I’m still gonna try

Because I know I’m not alone

And I know I don’t have to do it on my own

And even though we know it might not make a difference

We’re still gonna try until the day that we die

And we’ll teach our kids right

So when we’re gone they can carry on the fight

And even though they know it might not make a difference

They’re still gonna fight and they’re still gonna try

And they’ll keep our dream alive

They’ll make sure it never dies

And even though they know it might not make a difference

And even though we know it might not make a difference

And even though I know it might not make a difference

And even though I know it won’t make any difference

I’m still gonna try and I’m still gonna fight

Until the day I die and maybe we’ll all learn

Something this time

And I’ll try and I’ll dream and I’ll hope

Because what else can we do

Hope is all this world has for me and you

And even though we know it might not make a difference

We’re still gonna try

What I do

When some one ask you what you do

They only want to hear one answer from you

They want to know how you make your money

They don’t care about your dreams

They want to know about your reality

They want to know your plan for making money

In this world a dream isn’t worth a dime

It’s not an acceptable way to spend your time

You gotta be planing your career

You gotta have money to be anything down here

Ask me what I do

And I’ll give an answer to you

But it won’t be one you like

I’ll say I play guitar

I’ll say I hang out with my friends

I’ll say I like to ride my bike

That’s what I do That’s who I am

Is that so hard to understand?

I’m not a job I’m human being

Just trying to live the best I can

Life is more than what you make

And life is more than how much you take

Life is a lot more than you think

If you would only try to live

Life is the one thing that we’ve all got

And it’s not really worth a lot

But with life it’s not what you make

It’s what you give

Why don’t you live X3

And you’re not your job and I’m not my job. I’m unemployed does that mean I don’t exist? heres my advise

on how to live life all I want to say is life is more than getting
