We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower, you got to let it, you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love

Love...
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before)

Just as tight a$ you can make it
Hard and slow ain't hard enough
Just tight a$ you can shake it, girl
Get it on and do your stuff

Tight a$ you can get it
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight's alright but if ya can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade

Just tight a$ an Indian rope trick
Long and tough ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ a dope fiend's fix my friend
Get it up and do your stuff

Tight a$ you can boogie
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight alright's alright but if ya can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade

Well tight a$ got me concerned
Tight a$ got me laid
Tight a$ strut your stuff so tough
Just sweating in the midnight shade...

When I'm down really yin
And I don't know what I'm doing
Aisumasen Yoko
All I had to do was call your name

And when I hurt you and cause you pain
Darling I promise I won't do it again

Aisumasen Yoko
It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain

All that I know is just what you tell me
All that I know is just what you show me

When I'm down real sanpaku
And I don't know what to do
Aisumasen Yoko san
All I had to do was call your name
Yes, all I had to do was call your name

. . .


You are my weakness
You are my strenght
Nothing I have in the world
Makes better sense
Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea.

When we're together
Or when we're apart
There's never a space in between
the beat of our hearts
Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree.

One day a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you
(yeah) you (yeah) you (yeah) you.

You are my woman
I am your man
Nothing else matters at all,
Now I understand
That I'm the door and you're the key.

And every morning
I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face
And in the love in your eyes
Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee.

One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for us two
(yeah) us two (yeah) us two (yeah) you.

. . .


(Alright Boys, this is it, over the hill)

One, two, three, four...

We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even wanna 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,
It's something you just better do:

Free the people now,
Do it, 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.

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

We don't care what rules you're playing,
We don't even want to play your game,
You think you're cool and know what you are doing,
and 666 is your name.
So while you're jerking off each other,
You bear this thought in mind,
Your time is come - you better know it,
But maybe you just can't read the sign.

Free the people now
Do it, 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
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed

Stop the killing now
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, now
Do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it...

ok...

and two and three and four, hey!

Hold on, hold on!

My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstition
It seemed like suicide
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere

Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
It's good to be alive
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It's then I realize it's only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere

. . .


Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Out the blue you came to me

Every day I thank the Lord and Lady
For the way that you came to me
Anyway it had to be two minds
One destiny

All my life's been a long slow knife
I was born just to get to you
Anyway I survived long enough
To make you my wife

Like a U.F.O. you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Out the blue you came to me

. . .


Only people just know how to talk to people
Only people know just how to change the world
Only people realize the power of people
A million heads are better than one, so come on, get it on!

Well I know how we tried and the millions of tears that we cried
Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
And we can't be denied with woman and man side by side
Make no mistake it's our future we're making,
bake the cake and eat it too!
We don't want no pig brother scene

Well it's long overdue there
ain't nothing better to do
Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
We can fly right on thru, there's nothing on earth we can do
Fish or cut bait it's our future
e're making all together now pull the chain!
We don't want no pig brother scene

. . .


The years have passed so quickly
One thing I've understood
I am only learning
To tell the trees from wood

I know what's coming down
And I know where it's coming from
And I know and I'm sorry (yes I am)
But I never could speak my mind

And I know just how you feel
And I know now what I have done
And I know and I'm guilty
But I never could speak my mind

I know what I was missing
But now my eyes can see
I put myself in your place
As you did for me

Today I love you more than yesterday
Right now I love you more right now

Now I know what's coming down
I can feel where it's coming from
And I know it's getting better all the time
As we share in each other's minds

. . .


From Liverpool to Tokyo
What a way to go
From distant lands one woman one man
Let the four winds blow

Three thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sun

Love has opened my eyes
Love has blown right through
Wherever you are, you are here

Three thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of surprising sun
East is east and west is west
The twain shall meet
East is west and west is east
Let it be complete

Three thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of the morning star

. . .
