One for you , one ....


One for the righteous, one for the ruling class
One for the tyrant, one for the slaughtered lamb

One for the struggle, one for the lasting peace
One for you, and one for me

One for the Führer, one for his child bride
One for the wedding, one for the suicide
One for the bunker, one for the broadcast booth
One for me, now one for you

How did we get so far away from us?
How did we get so far away?

One for the people, one for the parliament
One for the weary, one for the malcontent
One for the master, one for the protégé
One for you, and one for me

One for the bread lines, one for the billionaires
One for the missing, one for the barely there
One for the certain, one for the real confused
One for me, okay, now one for you

Now that we’ve come so far away from us
Now that we’ve come too far to say
You and me, you and me that is an awful lie
You and me, you and me that is an awful lie

It’s I and I
It’s I and I
It’s I and I
It’s I and I

World keep on turning



People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
'Til I reach the highest ground

Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

Lovers keep on lovin'
Believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

I'm so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth
I lived a whole world of sin

I'm so glad that
I know more than
I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin'

'Til I reach my highest ground

mystic river


"Mystic River"

I can't believe it's true I finally got you here
I've been waiting for this moment for some years
I’ve been torn down enough to know
Everyone goes through this door
Just before their lives explode
Come in here with a heavy load
Walking down the road watching the day begin
Radio song is playing off in a distant wind
But you can feel it it's a gentle love
Coming out soft from the windows above
Just when you have had enough
Here comes the world you’ve been dreaming of
Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I look across at the sons and daughters
Sun comes up each day to chase away the moon
Even the stars at night they fade away too soon
You can’t do much about the trouble life brings
Cut all the lines so the phones don’t ring
But stay here once from spring to spring
Watching the ice melt the mornings sing
Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
There’s a tree that grows out in the burning sands
Never a drop of rain that nobody understands
You can push me I don’t mind
Leave me out here and I’ll be fine
Cause everyone’s gonna have their time
Up or down honey you decide
Oh my my the Mystic River
She takes your heart
And you will forgive her
Lay me down beside the water
I miss my sons I miss my daughter now
