Welcome to Gaia! :: Artist Gallery

<br />
Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?<br />
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?<br />
Are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?<br />
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first<br />
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse<br />
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
We live on front porches and swing life away<br />
We get by just fine here on minimum wage<br />
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end<br />
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand<br />
I've been here so long I think that its time to move<br />
The winter's so cold summer's over too soon<br />
So let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow<br />
And I've got some friends some that I hardly know<br />
We've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world<br />
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
We live on front porches and swing life away<br />
We get by just fine here on minimum wage<br />
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end<br />
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand<br />
<br />
Swing life away[4x]<br />

I'm in Over my Head<br />
<br />
They wanna try and build me up<br />
So they can tear me down<br />
I wish that i could be back there<br />
but i'm writing here right now<br />
<br />
They've taken everything i had to give and<br />
They say its over but man, I'm still livin<br />
I don't know what to do<br />
I think that maybe<br />
I'm in over my head<br />
Stuck in the red<br />
Something They said<br />
It makes me think that<br />
I'm in Over my head<br />
Over my Head<br />
Over my Head<br />
<br />
I gotta get away from here<br />
and it couldn't be too soon<br />
Cause I see the Stars when your with me<br />
Like rockets to the moon<br />
<br />
You take me everywhere that i've never been and<br />
Show me the meaning of what life had to give and<br />
I don't know what to say<br />
I think that maybe<br />
I'm in over my head<br />
Lying in her bed<br />
Something she said<br />
It makes me think that<br />
I'm in Over my head<br />
Over my Head<br />
Over my Head<br />
<br />
I'm in over my head<br />
I'm in over my head<br />
I'm in over my head<br />
I'm in over my head<br />
Over my head

"what we've got here is failure to communicate.<br />
Some men you just can't reach...<br />
So, you get what we had here last week,<br />
Which is the way he wants it!<br />
Well, he gets it!<br />
N' i don't like it any more than you men." *<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at your young men fighting<br />
Look at your women crying<br />
Look at your young men dying<br />
The way they've always done before<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at the hate we're breeding<br />
Look at the fear we're feeding<br />
Look at the lives we're leading<br />
The way we've always done before<br />
<br />
<br />
My hands are tied<br />
The billions shift from side to side<br />
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride<br />
For the love of god and our human rights<br />
And all these things are swept aside<br />
By bloody hands time can't deny<br />
And are washed away by your genocide<br />
And history hides the lies of our civil wars<br />
<br />
<br />
D'you wear a black armband<br />
When they shot the man<br />
Who said "peace could last forever"<br />
And in my first memories<br />
They shot kennedy<br />
I went numb when i learned to see<br />
So i never fell for vietnam<br />
We got the wall of d.c. to remind us all<br />
That you can't trust freedom<br />
When it's not in your hands<br />
When everybody's fightin'<br />
For their promised land<br />
<br />
<br />
And<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor<br />
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers<br />
In a human grocery store<br />
Ain't that fresh<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at the shoes your filling<br />
Look at the blood we're spilling<br />
Look at the world we're killing<br />
The way we've always done before<br />
Look in the doubt we've wallowed<br />
Look at the leaders we've followed<br />
Look at the lies we've swallowed<br />
And i don't want to hear no more<br />
<br />
<br />
My hands are tied<br />
For all i've seen has changed my mind<br />
But still the wars go on as the years go by<br />
With no love of god or human rights<br />
'cause all these dreams are swept aside<br />
By bloody hands of the hypnotized<br />
Who carry the cross of homicide<br />
And history bears the scars of our civil wars<br />
<br />
<br />
"we practice selective annihilation of mayors<br />
And government officials<br />
For example to create a vacuum<br />
Then we fill that vacuum<br />
As popular war advances<br />
Peace is closer" **<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor<br />
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers<br />
In a human grocery store<br />
Ain't that fresh<br />
And i don't need your civil war<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers<br />
In a human grocery store<br />
Ain't that fresh<br />
I don't need your civil war<br />
I don't need one more war<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't need one more war<br />
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway<br />
