1: The Hollow 

Run desire run 

Sexual being 

Run him like a blade 

To and through the heart 

No conscience 

One Motive 

Cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here 

Fill me up again 

Temporarily pacify this hungering 

So grow 

Libido throw 

Dominoes of indiscretions down 

Falling all around 

In cycles 

In circles 

Constantly consuming 

Conquer and devour 

Cause it's time to bring the fire down 

Bridle all this indiscretion 

Long enough to edify 

And permanently fill this hollow 

Screaming feed me here 

Fill me up again 

Temporarily pacifying

2: Magdalena 

Overcome by your Moving temple Overcome by this Holiest 

of altars So pure So rare To witness such an earthly 

goddess That I've lost my self control Beyond compelled 

to throw this dollar down before your Holiest of altars 

I'd sell My soul My self-esteem a dollar at a time 

One chance One kiss One taste of you my magdalena I 

bear witness To this place, 

this prayer, so long forgotten So pure So rare To witness 

such an earthly goddess That I'd sell My soul My self-esteem 

a dollar at a time For one chance One kiss One taste 

of you my black madonna I'd sell My soul My self-esteem 

a dollar at a time One taste One taste One taste of you my Magdalena 

3: Rose 

Don't disturb The beast The tempermental goat The snail 

while he's feeding on the Rose Stay frozen, 

compromising What I will I am Bend around The wind 

silently thrown about Again I'm treading so Soft and 

lightly Compromising my will I am I am I will So no 

longer Will I Lay down Play dead Play your doe in the 

headlights locked down and terrified Your deer in the 

headlights shot down and horrified when Push comes 

to pull comes to shove Comes to step around this Self-destructing 

dance that never would've ended till I Rose, 

I roared aloud here I will I am. 

I am I will So no longer Will I Lay down Lay dead Play 

this Kneel down Gun-shy Martyr Pitiful I rose, I roared I will I am 

4: Judith 

You're such an inspiration for the ways That I'll never 

ever choose to be Oh so many ways for me to show you 

How the savior has abandoned you F*ck your God Your 

Lord and your Christ He did this Took all you had and 

Left you this way Still you pray, 

you never stray Never taste of the fruit You never 

thought to question why It's not like you killed someone 

It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side 

Praise the one who left you Broken down and paralyzed 

He did it all for you He did it all for you Oh so many 

many ways for me to show you How your dogma has abandoned 

you Pray to your Christ, to your god Never taste of 

the fruit Never stray, never break Never---choke on 

a lie Even though he's the one who did this to you 

You never thought to question why Not like you killed 

someone It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into 

his side Talk to Jesus Christ As if he knows the reasons 

why He did it all for you Did it all for you He did it all for you 

5: Orestes 

Metaphor for a missing moment Pull me into your perfect 

circle One womb One shape One resolve Liberate this 

will To release us all Gotta cut away, 

clear away Snip away and sever this Umbilical residue 

that's Keeping me from killing you And from pulling 

you down with me in here I can almost hear you scream 

Give me One more medicated peaceful moment One more 

medicated peaceful moment And I don't wanna feel this 

overwhelming Hostility Because I don't wanna feel this 

overwhelming Hostility Gotta cut away Clear away Snip 

away and sever this Umbilical residue Gotta cut away 

Clear away Snip away and sever this Umbilical residue 

that's Keeping me from killing you Keeping me from killing you 

6: 3 Libras 

Threw you the obvious And you flew with it on your 

back A name in your recollection Down among a million, 

say: Difficult enough to feel a little bit Disappointed, 

passed over. When I've looked right through, 

To see you naked and oblivious and you don't see me 

Well I threw you the obvious, 

Just to see if there's more behind the Eyes of a fallen 

angel, Eyes of a tragedy. Here I am expecting just 

a little bit Too much from the wounded But I see, 

See through it all, See through, 

And see you. So I threw you the obvious Do you see 

what occurs behind the Eyes of a fallen angel Eyes 

of a tragedy Well, oh well. 

. Apparently nothing. Apparently nothing at all. 

You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You 

don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't 

see me You don't You don't You don't see me at all 

7: Sleeping Beauty 

Delusional I believe I can cure it all for you, 

dear Coax or trick or drive or drag the demons from 

you Make it right for you sleeping beauty Truly thought 

I can magically heal you You're far beyond a visible 

sign of your awakening Failing miserably to rescue 

Sleeping Beauty Drunk on ego Truly thought I could 

make it right If I kissed you one more time to Help 

you face the nightmare But you're far too poisoned 

for me Such a fool to think that I can wake you from 

your slumber That I could actually heal you. 

. Sleeping Beauty Poisoned and hopeless You're far 

beyond a visible sign of your awakening Failing miserably 

to find a way to comfort you Far beyond a visible sign 

of your awakening And hiding from some poisoned memory 

Poisoned and hopeless Sleeping Beauty

Lying all alone and restless unable to lose this image 

sleepless, unable to focus on anything but your surrender 

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head Tugging 

a beat to the sight of you lying So delighted with 

a new understanding Something about a little evil that

Thirteenth Step 

"The Package" 

Clever got me this far 

Then tricky got me in 

Eye on what i'm after 

I don't need another friend 

Smile and drop the cliche 

'Till you think I'm listening 

I take just what I came for 

Then I'm out the door again 

Peripheral on the package 

Don't care to settle in 

Time to feed the monster 

I don't need another friend 

Comfort is a mystery 

Crawling out of my own skin 

Just give me what I came for, then I'm out the door again 

Lie to get what I came for 

Lie to get just what I need 

Lie to get what I crave 

Lie and smile to get what's mine 

Eye on what i'm after 

I don't need another friend 

Nod and watch your lips move 

If you need me to pretend 

Because clever got me this far 

Then tricky got me in 

I'll take just what I came for 

Then I'm out the door again 

Lie to get what I came for 

Lie to get what I need now 

Lie to get what I'm craving 

Lie and smile to get what's mine 

Give this to me 

Mine, mine, mine 

Take what's mine 

Mine, mine, mine 

Take what's mine 

Mine, mine, mine 

Lie to get what I came for 

Lie to get what I need now 

Lie to get what I'm craving 

Lie to smile and get what's mine 

Give this to me 

Take what's mine 

Mine, mine, mine 

Take what's mine 

Give this to me 

Take what's mine, take what's mine, mine... 

Take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine, 

This is mine, mine, mine [whispered] 

"Weak and Powerless" 

Tilling my own grave to keep me level 

Jam another dragon down the hole 

Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren 

One that pushes me along and leaves me so 

Desperate and Ravenous 

I'm so weak and powerless over you 

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China 

White as Dracula as I approach the bottom 

Desperate and Ravenous 

I'm so weak and powerless over you 

Little angel go away 

Come again some other day 

The devil has my ear today 

I'll never hear a word you say 

He promised I would find a little solace 

And some piece of mind 

Whatever just as long as I don't feel so 

Desperate and Ravenous 

I'm so weak and powerless over you 

Desperate and Ravenous 

I'm so weak and powerless 

over you 

"The Noose" 

So glad to see you have overcome them. 

Completely silent now 

With heaven's help 

You cast your demons out 

And not to pull your halo down 

Around your neck and tug you off your cloud 

But I'm more than just a little curious 

How you're planning to go about 

Making your amends to the dead 

To the dead 

Recall the deeds as if 

They're all someone else's 

Atrocious stories 

Now you stand reborn before us all 

So glad to see you well 

And not to pull your halo down 

Around your neck and tug you to the ground 

But I'm more than just a little curious 

How you're planning to go about 

Making your amends to the dead 

To the dead 

With your halo slipping down 

Your halo slipping 

Your halo slipping down 

Your halo slipping down 

Your halo slipping down [repeated] 

Your halo slipping down to choke you now 

"Blue" 

I didn't want to know 

I just didn't want to know 

Best to keep things in the shallow end 

Cause I never quite learned how to swim 

I just didn't want to know 

Didn't want, didn't want, 

Didn't want, didn't want 

Close my eyes just to look at you 

Taken by the seamless vision 

I close my eyes, 

Ignore the smoke, 

Ignore the smoke, 

Ignore the smoke 

Call an optimist, she's turning blue 

Such a lovely color for you 

Call an optimist, she's turning blue 

While I just sit and stare at you 

Because I don't want to know 

I didn't want to know 

I just didn't want to know 

I just didn't want 

Mistook the nods for an approval 

Just ignore the smoke and smile 

Call an optimist, she's turning blue 

Such a lovely color for you 

Call an optimist, she's turning blue 

Such a perfect color for your eyes 

Call an optimist, she's turning blue 

Such a lovely color for you 

Call an optimist, she's turning blue 

While I just sit and stare at you 

I don't want to know 

"Vanishing" 

Disappear 

Disappear 

Higher 

Higher 

Into the air 

Slowly disappear 

No, no longer here 

Disappear 

Disappear 

Thinner, thinner 

Into the air 

Never really here 

What that never 

Like a thought brushing up against a sigh 

Floating away 

Floating away [repeated] 

Vanishing like a cyan sunday 

Disappear 

Disappear 

Vanish, vanish into the air 

Slowly disappear 

Never really here 

Floating away 

Floating away [repeated] 

"A Stranger" 

Cast the calming apple 

Up and over satellites 

To draw out the timid wild one 

To convince you it's alright 

And I listen for the whisper 

Of your sweet insanity while I formulate 

Denials of your affect on me 

You're a stranger 

So what do I care 

You vanish today 

Not the first time I hear 

All the lies 

What am I to do with all this silence 

Shy away, shy away phantom 

Run away terrified child 

Won't you move away you fucking tornado 

I'm better off without you 

Tearing my will down 

"The Outsider" 

Help me if you can 

It's just that this, this is not the way I'm wired 

So could you please, 

Help me understand why 

You've given in to all these 

Reckless dark desires 

You're lying to yourself again 

Suicidal imbecile 

Think about it, put it on the faultline 

What'll it take to get it through to you precious 

I'm over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this 

Such a mess. Why would I want to watch you. 

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time 

What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die 

Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb belligerence 

Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its decadence 

Lying through your teeth again 

Suicidal imbecile 

Think about it, put it on the fautline 

What'll it take to get it through to you precious 

Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this 

Such a mess. Why would I wanna watch you... 

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time 

What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die 

They were right about you 

They were right about you 

Lying to my face again 

Suicidal imbecile 

Think about it put it on the fautline 

What'll it take to get it through to you precious 

I'm over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this 

Such a mess, I'm over this, over this! 

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time 

What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die 

If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere, 

Do it somewhere far away from here 

"Crimes" 

One... two... three 

Four... five... six 

Seven... eight... nine 

Nine... nine... nine 

Ten... ten... ten... ten 

"The Nurse Who Loved Me" 

Say hello to the rug's topography 

It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it 

Say hello to the shrinking in your head 

You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it 

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white 

She's got everything I need pharmacy keys 

She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes 

She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys 

Say hello to all the apples on the ground 

They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping 

Say hello to everything you've left behind 

It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it 

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white 

She's got everything I need some pills in a little cup 

She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes 

She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys 

Say hello to the rugs topography... 

"Pet" 

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window 

Go back to sleep 

Lay your head down child 

I won't let the boogeyman come 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Pay no mind to the rabble 

Pay no mind to the rabble 

Head down, go to sleep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Pay no mind what other voices say 

They don't care about you, like I do, like I do 

Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils, 

See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do. 

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant, 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Lay your head down child 

I won't let the boogeyman come 

Count the bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Pay no mind to the rabble 

Pay no mind to the rabble 

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums 

I'll be the one to protect you from 

Your enemies and all your demons 

I'll be the one to protect you from 

A will to survive and a voice of reason 

I'll be the one to protect you from 

Your enemies and your choices son 

They're one in the same 

I must isolate you 

Isolate and save you from yourself 

Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and 

Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums 

The boogeymen are coming 

The boogeymen are coming 

Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums 

Stay with me 

Safe and ignorant 

Just stay with me 

Hold you and protect you from the other ones 

The evil ones 

Don't love you son, 

Go back to sleep 

"Lullaby" 

Go back to sleep... 

Go back to sleep [whispered] 

"Gravity" 

Lost again 

Broken and weary 

Unable to find my way 

Tail in hand 

Dizzy and clearly unable to 

Just let this go 

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown 

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun 

I choose to live 

I fell again 

Like a baby unable to stand on my own 

Tail in hand 

Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go 

High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown 

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun 

I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live 

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun 

Help me survive the bottom 

Calm these hands before they 

Snare another pill and 

Drive another nail down another 

Needy hole please release me 

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown 

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun 

I choose to live, I choose to live 

Annihilation" 

From dehumanization to arms production, 

For the benefit of the nation or its destruction 

Power, power, the law of the land, 

Those living for death will die by their own hand, 

Life's no ordeal if you come to terms, 

Reject the system dictating the norms 

From dehumanization to arms production, 

To hasten the nation towards its destruction 

Power, power, the law of the land, 

Those living for death will die by their own hand, 

Life's no ordeal if you come to terms, 

Reject the system dictating the norms 

From dehumanization to arms production, 

To hasten the nation towards its destruction 

Power, power, the law of the land, 

Those living for death will die by their own hand, 

Life's no ordeal if you come to terms, 

Reject the system dictating the norms 

From dehumanization to arms production, 

To hasten this nation towards its destruction, 

It's your choice, your choice, your choice, your choice, 

Peace or annihilation 

"Imagine" 

Imagine there's no heaven, 

It's easy if you try, 

No hell below us, 

Above us only sky, 

Imagine all the people 

living for today... 

Imagine there's no countries, 

It isnt hard to do, 

Nothing to kill or die for, 

No religion too, 

Imagine all the people 

living life in peace... 

You may say Im a dreamer, 

but Im not the only one, 

I hope some day you'll join us, 

And the world will live as one. 

(Imagine all the people sharing all the world) 

Imagine no possesions, 

I wonder if you can, 

No need for greed or hunger, 

A brotherhood of man, 

Imagine all the people 

Sharing all the world... 

You may say Im a dreamer, 

but Im not the only one, 

I hope some day you'll join us, 

And the world will live as one. 

"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love And Understanding" 

As I walk on through this wicked world, 

Searching for light in the darkness of insanity, 

I ask myself, Is all hope lost? 

Is there only pain, and hatred, and misery? 

And each time I feel like this inside, 

There's one thing I wanna know, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? 

And as I walked on through troubled times, 

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes, 

So where are the strong?, 

And who are the trusted?, 

And where is the harmony?, 

Sweet harmony 

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? 

So where are the strong?, 

And who are the trusted?, 

And where is the harmony?, 

Sweet harmony 

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, 

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? 

"What's Going On" 

Mother, mother, 

There's too many of you crying, 

Brother, brother, brother, 

There's far too many of you dying, 

You know we've got to find a way, 

To bring some loving here today 

Father, father, 

We don't need to escalate, 

You see, war is not the answer, 

For only love can conquer hate, 

You know we've got to find a way, 

To bring some loving here today 

Picket lines and picket signs, 

Don't punish me with brutality, 

Talk to me, so you can see, 

Oh, what's going on, 

What's going on, 

Yeah, what's going on, 

Ah, what's going on, 

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong, 

But who are they to judge us?, 

Simply because our hair is long, 

You know we've got to find a way, 

To bring some understanding here today, Oh 

Picket lines and picket signs, 

Don't punish me with brutality, 

Talk to me, 

So you can see, 

What's going on, 

What's going on, 

What's going on, 

What's going on, 

"Passive" 

"Dead as dead can be," my doctor tells me 

But I just can't believe him, ever the optimistic one 

I'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy 

Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause maybe 

Someday I will walk away and say, "You disappoint me," 

Maybe you're better off this way 

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic 

I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been 

It's your right and your ability 

To become... my perfect enemy... 

Wake up (we'll catch you) and face me (come one now), 

Don't play dead (don't play dead) 

Cause maybe (because maybe) 

Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say, "You disappoint me," 

Maybe you're better off this way 

Maybe you're better off this way 

Maybe you're better off this way 

Maybe you're better off this way 

You're better of this; you're better off this; 

Maybe you're better off! 

Wake up (can't you) and face me (come on now), 

Don't play dead (don't play dead) 

Cause maybe (because maybe) 

Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say, "You fucking disappoint me!" 

Maybe you're better off this way 

Go ahead and play dead 

I know that you can hear this 

Go ahead and play dead 

Why can't you turn and face me? 

Why can't you turn and face me? 

Why can't you turn and face me? 

Why can't you turn and face me? 

You fucking disappoint me! 

Passive aggressive bullshit 

"Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" 

Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, 

I need some more, 

Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 

Don't ask what for 

Sitting here like a loaded gun, 

Waiting to go off, 

I've got nothing to do, 

But shoot my mouth off 

Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 

I need some more, 

Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 

Don't ask what for

"People Are People" 

We're different colors, 

And different creeds, 

And different people, 

Have different needs, 

It's obvious you hate me, 

Though I've done nothing wrong, 

I've never even met you, 

What could I have done? 

[x2]People are people so why should it be? 

You and I shouldn't get along. 

People are people so why should it be? 

You should hate me. 

You're punching and kicking, 

And you're shouting at me, 

I'm relying on your common decency, 

So far it hasn't surfaced, 

But I'm sure it exists, 

It just takes a while to travel 

From your head to your fist. 

I can't understand, 

What makes a man, 

Hate another man, 

Help me understand, 

[x2]People are people, 

So why should it be?, 

You and I shouldn't get along, 

People are people, 

So why should it be, 

You Should Hate me 

[x3]I can't understand, 

What makes a man, 

Hate another man?, 

Help me understand, 

"Freedom Of Choice" 

We're victims of sedition on the open sea. 

No one ever said life was free. 

Sink, swim, go down with the ship. 

Just use your freedom of choice. 

I'll say it again in the land of the free 

Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice. 

In ancient Rome 

there was a pawn 

who followed along 

and watched it fall 

he cast a stone 

he felt secure 

he felt that he would never be heard. 

Freedom of choice 

it's what you've got 

Freedom of choice 

You're given a voice 

you don't want it 

seems to be the rule of thumb 

don't be tricked by waht you see 

you've got two ways to go 

I'll say it again in the land of the free: 

Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice. 

Freedom of choice 

it's what you've got 

Freedom of choice... 

In ancient Rome 

there was a pawn 

who followed along 

and watched it fall 

he cast a stone 

he felt secure 

he felt that his voice would never be heard. 

Freedom of choice 

it's what you've got 

Freedom from choice 

it's what you want. 

Freedom of choice - 

it's what you've got. 

Freedom from choice. 

It's what you want. 

Freedom from choice

"Let's Have A War" 

There's so many of us, 

So many of us, 

So many, there's so many, there's so many 

Let's have a war, 

So you can go and die, 

Let's have a war, 

We could all use the money, 

Let's have a war, 

We need the space, 

Let's have a war, 

Clean out this place 

It already started in the city, 

Suburbia will be just as easy 

Let's have a war, 

Jack up the Dow Jones, 

Let's have a war, 

It can start in New Jersey, 

Let's have a war, 

Blame it on the middle-class, 

Let's have a war, 

We're like rats in a cage 

It already started in the city, 

Suburbia will be just as easy 

Let's have a war, 

Sell the rights to the networks, 

Let's have a war, 

Let our wallets get fat like last time, 

Let's have a war, 

Give guns to the queers, 

Let's have a war, 

The enemy's within 

It already started in the city, 

Suburbia will be just as easy 

"Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums" 

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window 

Go back to sleep 

Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils, 

See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do. 

Count the bodies like sheep 

Count the bodies like sheep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Count the bodies like sheep 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

Go back to sleep 

Go to sleep [x14] 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums 

Go back to sleep 

Go back to sleep 

Counting bodies like sheep 

To the rhythm of the war drums [x2] 

I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons 

I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason 

I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son 

They're one in the same, I must isolate you... 

Isolate and save you from yourself ... 

"When The Levee Breaks" 

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 

And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay 

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan, 

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan, 

Thinking about my baby and my happy home, 

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 

And all these people have no place to stay 

Now look here mama what am I to do?, 

Now look here mama what am I to do?, 

I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to 

I works on the levee mama both night and day, 

I works on the levee mama both night and day, 

I ain't got nobody, keep the water away 

Oh crying won't help you, praying won't do no good, 

Oh crying won't help you, praying won't do no good, 

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose 

I works on the levee, mama both night and day, 

I works on the levee, mama both night and day, 

I works so hard, to keep the water away 

I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me, 

I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me, 

I'm going back to my used to be 

It's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan 

It's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan 

Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home 

"Fiddle And The Drum" 

And so once again, 

My dear Johnny, my dear friend, 

And so once again you are fighting us all, 

And when I ask you why, 

You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall, 

Oh, my friend, 

How did you come?, 

To trade the fiddle for the drum, 

You say I have turned, 

Like the enemies you've earned, 

But I can remember, 

All the good things you are, 

And so I ask you please, 

Can I help you find the peace and the star?, 

Oh, my friend, 

What time is this?, 

To trade the handshake for the fist 

And so once again, 

Oh, America my friend, 

And so once again, 

You are fighting us all, 

And when we ask you why, 

You raise your sticks and cry and we fall, 

Oh, my friend, 

How did you come, 

To trade the fiddle for the drum 

You say we have turned, 

Like the enemies you've earned, 

But we can remember, 

All the good things you are, 

And so we ask you please, 

Can we help you find the peace and the star?, 

Oh my friend, 

We have all come, 

To fear the beating of your drum
