White Lion's - When the Children Cry:

Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again

CHORUS
When the children cry let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

Little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God

CHORUS

What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God

When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

Tool - Schism

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers

And Ticks and leeches...yea a little anger here, but that's the way I feel a lot for what was taken from me...or never given by my father...

Suck and suck.
Suckin up all you can, suckin up all you can suck.
Workin up under my patience like a little tick.
Fat little parasite.

Suck me dry.
My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving b*stards.
You have turned my blood cold and bitter,
beat my compassion black and blue.

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.

Taken all I can, taken all I can, we(?) can take.
Taken all you can, taken all you can f*ckin' take
Got nothing left to give to you.
Blood suckin parasitic little tick/blood suckin parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go.

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.

Suck me dry.
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Cuz this this is what you're getting.
I hope you choke.

btw...GREAT choice of tool songs...

there are the obvious ones...losing my religion by r.e.m, and all along the watchtower by hendrix..but there is also 'breaking the habit' by linkin park, which always reminds me of those 'good ol' days'

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight

Some of them want to abuse you ... Some of them want to be abused

Little Red Hen

So many great songs on so many different topics. One of my current favs, first heard in a balmy ampitheater under the stars. My very favorite part is the last one, about being under the load. And yes, I am making my mark, and it will be as bold and as dark as I can make it.

Pleas

They say turn the bright lights on
And there you'll find the truth
Here, open up this book
And there you'll find the proof
It eats me up like a can of worms
Keep the lid on tight, and they say

Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
No, no not this time

They tell me it takes sorrow, boy
To help you feel the joys
Be a child of poverty,
It lets you know your toys
No you can't have the good
Until you've shared the bad and they say

Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
No, not this time, time

They say it takes hardship, boy
To let you love the all the rest
Sometimes underneath the load
Is where I show my best
Go, put your work clothes on
Go and leave your mark
And they say

Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
No, not this time

I am so glad you made that post. I've been a Van Morrison (he wrote and sang it) fan for years (even before 1975). When I heard that song I did some research on Van. You probably are familiar with it since you are familiar with the song but for any others here who are interested, here's the info:

Van Morrison's mother was a jazz sainger who converted to JW's when he was a kid and he would accompany her to the hall. She was in it for a short time and left. I always felt he was really being sarcastic with the lyrics. What do you think?

We had joy we had fun we had we had seasons in the sun but but the joy that we had were just seasons out of time. Good bye Pa Pa its hard to die, I was the black sheep of the family...

Jehovah Made This Whole Joint For You Lyrics
The New Radicals

Met a girl, I met Carolina
Her parents jumped off Niagara Falls
She broke her hips when she was a baby
trying to hop the Berlin wall
It's not that she's anti-American
although she shot a mayor at nine
He looked just like the prez on T.V
she didn't know in '63 he had died

Does she think this world is all wrong
Does she think I'll rob her and run
When I ask her she gets her gun
and simply says scat boy scat scat

But isn't it a wonderful world Carolina
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
and isn't it so wonderful to be alive

So original in her black lipstick
listening to some obscure band
But isn't she pissed that all the other non-conformists
listen to that same obscure band

That's OK she's helping the enviroment
by sipping pure water and such
Then she screams we better start thinking about the ozone layer,
while tossing out a styrofoam cup

Does she think this world is all wrong
Does she think I'll rob her and run
When I ask her she gets her gun
She simply says scat boy scat scat

But isn't it a wonderful world Carolina
Look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
so isn't it so wonderful to be alive
Real deep s*** on her mind
"Let's kill the world, take over everything"
She says, "We dont need politicians; they breed mistrust,
and as a matter of fact did you steal my purse?"

Yeah, but isn't it a wonderful world Carolina
look at the birds in the sky
Jehovah made this whole joint for you, Carolina
so isn't it wonderful to be alive
Huh isn't it beautiful to be a...
Isn't it wonderful to be alive...
F*** yeah, it's so wonderful I feel like..
Dying...

The cd was called "Maybe You've been Brainwashed too."
