In Your Face

There is no mystery For what I try to be A reason for the things I do I try to tell you what Is really false or real But -- You act as if you have no clue You act this way when problems arise You act this way when problems arise You close your eyes and hide Behind a storybook When I have something new to tell If you could put aside Your stubborn foolish pride You'd find an exit from this spell You act this way when problems arise You act this way when problems arise What you are -- I don't know what What you are -- Pain in the butt What you are no one seems to care Why do you always do that? Why do you always do that? Why do you always do that? Why do you always do that!?! You act this way when problems arise You act this way when problems arise

A Selection 03:03
You go out to the bar after you get paid You see the little surfer girl with eyes of jade Then you see a foxy lady standin' by her side Pick up the blond to have some fun you do decide You go out to the parking lot -- you find your keys You get in your auto and you aim to please But the lover of your choosin' is a chilly shade A trick, a tick, a silly duck But, you have made -- A SELECTION A SEL-E-E-E-E-CTION A SELECTION A SEL-E-E-E-E-CTION You get on the commercial for the TV tube Bob Barker asks you which vehicle you would choose You want the Cadillac or BMW And you say O-O-O-O-O-O-OKAY!! You go out on a date with your fiancee The pretty little lady with the eyes of gray You go to the bathroom to brush your teeth WHAT! NO TOOTHPASTE?!? (Repeat chorus) You have to go to New york on a business trip On train, a plane, a car, or ocean ship Or you become a rock star and your mind will flip A choice of psychedelic drugs or groovy chicks You buy a pack of bubblegum from the store With two, or three, or four, or five pieces or more You take out the last piece to put in your mouth But you select the first piece Yes, you have made a selection (Repeat chorus)

Well I wish I had a date So I wear my suit and tie Well I wish I had a date With a pretty girl in mind Well I'll take her out to dinner And I'll treat her real good I'll spend all my money on expensive food Show her off to all the rest of my friends I'm not good lookin' but at least she's a 10 I won't pay attention while my buddies scam I'll be in love with a bitch in vain You know I am but at least she'll pretend Well I wish I had a date And a body for brawls and fights Well if I didn't have a chicken face I could mack 'em down the chicks at night Well we'll go out at night and she'll ignore me Just a little but not a lot And she'll go flirt with the tough guys And they'll fool around with her twat And for the moment that I have my back turned She's making out in the parking lot Well I wish I had a date With a lot of trust and devotion Well I wish I didn't have a chump Who liked to spread her legs like the ocean But if you know I had a date And she wouldn't play on me Cowwa-cowwa bunga Yeah, man, real peachy Well I wish I had a date Well I wish I had a date Well I wish I had a date Well I wish I had a date

There's a path for you and I to follow For our goals aren't always in our sight But now you've come to dread and fear tomorrow Were your dreams killed in your sleep last night? Fight for what is right... Pray for a movement in the light Some are slaves to Rhyme, Wit and Reason Some are slave to all of what they hear To sing a different song is outright treason Is the price of freedom what they fear? This cannot be right... Pray for the movement in the light Hey...Hey...There's a light to guide the way Hey...Hey...The light has brought another day For you and I should ever come together Turn away the hatred in your heart For we should find a peace to last forever Find the peace no man can tear apart May all the world unite Pray for the movement in the light

Give It Up 03:14
Are you getting tired of all the ravages of war? Aren't you even sure what the hell you're fighting for? All the broken dreams of men just break me down to pray -- For peace and understanding We just can't go on this way ALL-TOGETHER-FREE ALL-TOGETHER-FREE-UNITED ALL-HUMANITY ALL-TOGETHER-FREE-UNITED GIVE IT UP!! GIVE IT UP!! GIVE IT UP!! GIVE IT UP!! All the lies are broken all the truth is still the same All the love and hatred in a world that lives in pain Will we see the Winds of Time erode this curse away We just got to stop this madness We just can't go on this way (Repeat chorus) We live for Mother Country We live for Mother Need We're looking for the other side But we're here to burn and bleed We all know the Righteous -- The truth shall lead the way But we all know the Darkness So believe me when I say... (Repeat chorus)

In The Air 03:35
It's not the liars that can set your free It's not the riches that you can't foresee No, it's not the monkey or the LSD It's not the powers that be It's always in the air It's always in the air And it always will be there It's always in the air It's not decisions made in city halls It's not amusement parks or shopping malls No, it's not the preachers when the tower falls It's not the manipulated laws (Repeat chorus) It's in the answer no one ever knows.... It's in the orphan children no one chose....

Say everyone -- where's the love of yesteryear? Say everyone -- ebbing waves of death and fear Alleviate morality and kill our every dream of hope Visualize with hallucinogens And now who see must also grope The Grapes of Wrath -- the prime vintage of our future World leaders -- necromancers and masochists all Contemplate our destinies But they all will soon fall With our greatest dance At the Thermonuclear Ball Yet with all of this Another wave just takes its place Search for freedom -- And the world just slaps your face Yet what we do from day to day All we ever do and say Is take a look around And Turn the Other Way....
