[No lyrics]

Man's inhumanity towards man
Stop them when they first began
Tell them this road's to die on
It's nowhere land
They're never supposed to reach
Or be kindly received
They're just dropped to their knees
In a nowhere land

And in the orphanage
They run for their beds
They run from the man in the building
And the allies just watch
And whisper and talk
As one million are marched to a nowhere land

Nowhere land, nowhere land, ay
Nowhere land, nowhere land, nowhere land, ay
Nowhere land, nowhere land, nowhere land, ay

Cause I'm now calling out a warning
For all is not well
There's so little time
Please sir, there's women and children
They lie where they fell
They've done nothing wrong
Nothing at all

You said enough
You'll set him off
You said enough
You'll set him off
You said enough
You'll set him off

He'll tell his story
Say he don't lie, say he don't lie
They tell their story
Say he don't lie, say he don't lie

Cause I come from the land of the shaman
Where the innocent are taken to the pavement
Won’t somebody just tell them
Won’t somebody oh, won’t somebody oh oh oh oh oh...

Won’t you please look after my children
All the words that are coming from the mouths of the women
From the northland down to the rio grande
New England town to Oregon
Wont somebody oh oh oh oh oh

So we’re calling all the crows
They comin' in slow
It's gonna be a show down
Said the rebel to the revolutionary come with me
And if you feel like you are witnessing a movement
Then get up girl and let them know you're free

Cause I come from the land of the shaman
Where the world is looking up you know it's changing
Won't somebody just tell them
Won't somebody oh, won't somebody oh oh oh oh oh…

So we're calling all the crows
They comin' in slow
It's gonna be a show down
Said the rebel to the revolutionary come with me
And if you feel like you are witnessing a movement
Then get up girl and let them know you're free

Said the rebel to the rebel
I will go if you come with me
I'm tired of living in a fable
Blue sky I'd love to see
The journey must continue and does not stop in me, no
Cause the rivers wide
but with all of us we can reach from side to side
and it is here that we must all ?

So we're calling all the crows
They comin' in slow
It's gonna be a show down
Said the rebel to the revolutionary come with me
And if you feel like you are witnessing a movement
Then get up girl and let them know you're free

It's just a murder of crows
They comin' in slow
It's gonna be a show down
Said the rebel to the revolutionary follow me
And if you feel like you are witnessing a movement
Then get up girl and let them know you're free
You got to get up girl and let them know you're free
You got to get up girl and girl let them know you're free

You've been hit with another blow
But still you give love
And you set our souls on fire
You got your instant karma
You son of a fisherman farmer
Born to live, live free or die

You're in your room for the very last time
You can see the car running from the hall
You assure us today is another good day
And tomorrow you will love us all

'Cause you can't have anything
If you don't have anything
And God, I feel just fine
Oh, but even if you're bleeding
You'll never stop believing
That we all live free or die

I'm not being too self-conscious, am I?
You don't think I'm being too self-conscious, do you?
Well, I'm up and I'm going west
I can't wait and I dream of this
I'm gonna lick this after all!

You can't have anything
If you don't have anything
And God, I feel just fine
Oh, but I wouldn't mind
No, I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind waking up tomorrow

Chad Everett Turnpike take me past
Manchester down to Mass
I'm gonna lick this after all!

You can't have if anything
If you don't have anything
And God, I feel just fine
Before the fight that was caused
And the iron that was lost
I wouldn't mind waking up tomorrow

You've been hit with another blow
But still you give love
And you set our souls on fire
Oh, I wouldn't mind
No, I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind waking up tomorrow

You can't have anything
If you don't have anything
And God, I feel just fine
Before the fight that was caused
And the iron that was lost
But I wouldn't mind waking up
No, I wouldn't mind waking up
I wouldn't making waking up tomorrow

Thou shall not
Thou shall not want
Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not want
Any or all that you feed so kindly

Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not break
Thou shalt not break
Any or all that you feed so slowly

But in the morn' there's a holy dove
And it comes ripping through the trees
You're the one I love
But I'll kill all that I see

I just want my arsenic and clover
No matter what the heathens say
I just want arsenic and

Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not fear
Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not fear
Any or all that you see so kindly

But in the morn' there's a holy love
And it comes ripping through the trees
You're the one I love
But I'll kill all that I see

I just want my arsenic and clover
No matter what the heathens say
I just want arsenic and

I just want my arsenic and clover
No matter what the heathens say
I just want arsenic and

I just want my arsenic and clover
No matter what the heathens say
I just want arsenic and

Aung San Suu Kyi on house arrest
Another Bhutto assassination
Could've stopped Sarajevo we must confess
But we were planning our next invasion

Where are the leaders of the atomic age?
Is it just another working day?
Said he was coming, he was on his way
But he fell down the hole in the ocean

Ay

The levies are full
But the river runs dry
And the desert grows into the grassland
And the space that separates us grows ever wide
As the profiteer stokes the division

Something's not right, something is wrong
With the news at eleven that no one has told them
If we don't come together it won't be long
These are the wars that face the generation

Ay

It's a peculiar situation
When the leaders of the wealthy nations
Don't know all the damage they done
It's so Bohemian
Mother Hubbard cover the investigation
But all they know is their retaliation
So they appeal to the dog's thirst
But he tips his hat and he says, no

I don't need your world control
And the opinion of the inner elite
Oh don't you know
That we are aching for a part in the chance worth taking
Who's to say
That we are destined just to fall at your feet
I'm here today
And so are we, the we the people of the earth rolling round

It's a peculiar situation
When the leaders of the wealthy nations
Don't know all the damage they done
It's so Bohemian
Mother Hubbard cover the investigation
But all they know is their retaliation
So they go again to the dogs thirst
But we will not work for your

World control
And the opinion of the inner elite
Oh don't you know
That we are aching for a part in the chance worth taking
Who's to say
That we are destined just to fall at your feet
It's World Control
So that it's rendered to we, the people of the earth rolling round

Versailles. Way down. How long. Outlaw

Caught the sun down at Castle Island
Summer spinning its finest gold
They were selling and we were buying
Just looking for someone to hold

I know the feeling of the fight I never saw you blink
We been up against the crab apple sling shot sting
I got my trash can lid on my wing
We're the Knights of the Round Table all

I was working on the straight and narrow
You came at me like a cannonball
I saw you sleeping at the city stables
You made me feel all of ten feet tall

The coming on coming for all the
Rules and the cops and the cold and all
All together and together we fall
Through the cracks in the city street
Through the cracks in the city street

That's right sit straight
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court you tell the king
That we ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free

I would follow you out of the city
Up Dot Ave to Savin Hill
Dock man says the water gonna kill me
Better that than sitting still

Coming on coming for all the
Rules and the cops and the cold and all
All together and together we fall
Through the cracks in the city street
Through the cracks in the city street

That's right sit straight
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court you tell the king
That we ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free

I know the feeling of the fight I never saw you blink
We been up against the crabapple sling shot sting
I got my trash can lid on my wing
We're the Knights of the Round Table all
And we'll fight the coming fall

So sit straight
And listen up
We are the knights of Bostonia
We'll tell the court to tell the king
We ain't listening to you no more
We are the knights of Bostonia
Only you can set you free

Restless nights, the innocent street
A fist to fight, a summer to keep
We are the knights of junkyard raid
The trusty steed and a summer to save

We are the knights of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia
Together we are the knights
Of all Bostonia

People can you hear this
People can you hear each other
They want to make us soldiers
They want us to unnerve each other
Yeah

'Cause we speak in different dialects
They want us to forsake our sister
Their fashionable language
They want us all to fear our brother

Oh the tie that binds must be stronger than what our differences allow
Seek the good in a passing wave, that is evolution, yeah

So people can you hear this
People can you hold each other
Can it be we're getting nearer
Don't let the cynics be your only cover now

The tie that binds must be stronger than what our differences allow
See the good in a passing wave, that is evolution, yeah

Ay ay ay
We'll surprise them all

'Cause I got the oil can
You got the stove pipe
He got the key stone
She got the block
But with a bit of mortar
We'll make a fine house
We wont look for the one shoe dropped

But here come the board man
He come to shut us down
We'll take the long way
The long way around
And we'll gather our wood on the wrong side of town
And we'll surprise them all, surprise them
We'll surprise them, we'll surprise them all

So people can you hear this
People don't you hurt each other
They want to make us soldiers
The innocent to know the suffer now
The tie that binds must be strong, must be strong
See the good in the passing wave, that is evolution

Ay ay ay
We'll surprise them
Ay ay ay
We'll surprise them all
We'll surprise them all

Bought the old farmland for a song
Sold it for many reasons
Too many of them wrong
Horseshoe bets and the women that came along
Blind-drunk on their demon rum

Is knowledge a product of his holiness
A mad cousin to his loneliness
Maniacs in cages
And patriots and sages
A cruel old/on telling of the books

But I'll not give
Myself, to the ground
I kill more than I
Live so slowly
Live so slowly

Say one thing and then do another
Bunker down in your alsatian den
We 'aint got room for your politics here
Politicians make a bad name for the con-man

And water felt like burning metal
Set off by a dying sun
Them women they circle
Like covered wagons crying
Their loved ones back from where they, gone

And I'll not give
Myself to the ground
I kill more than I
Live so slowly
Live so slowly

Closer she smiled telling me not to worry
I said I didn't know and I don't now
But I won't let you fall if you come down
Oh she was waiting
On the wine dark sea with skinny lips of salt
Better to give to thee
Then to all the senators in the hall
And we oh oh oh for knowing all
That I never knew
Oh oh oh for knowing all
That I never knew

Well the suitors they're complaining it's a bitter taste of man
I seen them over explaining the roles in which they stand
But don't you hear them because they want you to
Don't you give them because they love you in all your splendor
You're breaking it on the floor

There's been a dead reckoning with the government
Though they seem to know their plan
They're drawing all their lots to see who's the better man
But don't you love them because they need you to
They wont give you unless they are better then you
So go on with your lover and leave it all alone

I seen the blood escaping man
But do not overcome him if you can
I seen the blood escaping man
But do not overcome him

In your hand that holds the paper that wouldn't let us out last night
What made you come back
Return at first light
Well she gave me, she gave me more then the night
And I fear for, I fear for my life
We got to go home now 'cause they are making it with your wife

I seen the Blood Escaping Man
But do not overcome him if you can
I seen the Blood Escaping Man
But do not overcome him in your hand that holds the path that leads you
Do not overcome your master plan

She came into my bed
In the middle of the night
She said I'm tired of sleeping

The world was going mad
She wasn't seeing things quite right
She said the streets were bleeding

I remember thinking...

I think I might as well
Turn in for the night
I think somebody's trying to tell me something

So I gathered up my things
Walked back from the light
Wondering what that something, might, be

Ehhh, ehh, ehh, ehhhh, ehh...

She came into my bed
In the middle of the night
Said you must be mistaken

Wasn't sure what she just said
Wasn't sure if she could believe
I think somebody's trying to tell, me, something

Ehhh, ehh, ehh, ehhhh, ehh...

So how can we stay still and silent?
How can we stay still and silent?
How can we stay still and silent?
How can we stay still and silent?
How can we stay still and silent?
How can we stay still and silent now?

On this earth not alone we stand
Outstretched arm and upturned hand
Never knowing when the shakes steady
And 'till now we have seldom seen
And I will go if you go with me
Understand I will wait for thee
I'll try to catch up if you move quickly
If the rain does blow

And oh sir
If you ever lose your way
You can call upon this family
You can call upon this day
And old man
If you ever lose your way
You can call up on this family
You can call upon this day

'Cause you're my present my future
My lesson my teacher
Oh... My world is still
You're my God you're my guide
In my life I confide to ever shelter your will
And my words are forerver you're my blanket my shiver
Whatever you give I'll never lack

You're my chorus my refrain
The verse of my first pain
Let the voices come barrelling back

'Cause I can stand to stay right where I am
Let the water fill this hand
Bring it to your mouth
And pass beyond your lips
No gale can down this ship

And I'll stand on your shoulders
To watch us grow older
I can see us far along the road
As the trail grows deeper
your my giver my keeper
Laughter for years untold

'Cause I can stand to stay right where I am
Let the water fill this hand
Bring it to your mouth
And pass beyond your lips
No gale can down this ship

And wherever you go there you are
And if I go I won't go far
Wherever you go
There you are
And if I go I won't go far

And oh sir
If you ever lose your way
You can call upon this family
You can call upon this day
