I was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye, I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said I never seen a man, who looks so all alone, could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price, your evening will be nice, or you can go and send me on my way, I said your such a sweet young thing, why'd you do this to yourself?
She looked at me and this is what she said.

Tonight I?ll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees
I said you got me where you want me again
And I can?t turn away
I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin? like a fool
I'm stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday
I want to get awa...
A poor guy that man John Thomas
His woman truly was a devil
She wasn't all that honest
She tore him down on every level
You're a no, good, lazy mother fucker
Got a, shit job you worthless mother fucker
you're a, a dead beat, feel sorry for your mother
If i had time, I'd trade you for another
He don't like that
He wasn't like that
He wants to go back home
He tried so hard to please her
He sold ...
While bullets shower the earth
We turn our heads and cover our faces
Now flames devour the sky
And i hear these words in the back of my Mind
Chorus:
Here we stand at this fork in the road
We got no time to waste
Oh which way shall we go?
This old world's spinning out of control
Oh which way shall we go?
Which way shall we go?
I can't believe this, it makes me sick
Fresh smell of death on your ...
She move so quick
She move so fast
She move so quick
She make the good times last
She said that even in the morning said you know It's on
Even in the morning
[CHORUS]
Free Love
Free love
Free love
Free love,love,love,love
She like it rough
She bending bones
She starts a screaming when she's ready to go
She said that even in the morning said you know that it's on
Even in the morning

They say that we ain't got the style,
We ain't got the class,
We ain't got the tunes that's goin to put us on the map
And I'm a phony in disguise,
Tryin to make the radio,
I'm an anti-social anarchist, I sound like so and so,
They say I'm just a stupid kid,

The time has finally come you get a mouth full
You only act on greed and by your actions this is proved
And can't you see all the flowers diein all around you
Got your hands in the devil's pockets got everything to loose
And so you lash out
to crush the ones below
or all the ones that you fear most
and you call this crowd control
well let me break it down for ya
The fire in your veins is just ...
Woke before the morning sun
I found it tucked beneath the hills
I sat and watched it rise
It hit the sky and burst to flames
The lotus flower's
Got me thinkin' 'bout the way we live
I've got this feelin'
It's gonna stop
Driven by religion
Running backwards down a one way road
A course collision, split descision
Tryin' to save your soul
Manifest Destiny
is just a fancy word for murder
I've got ...
Timber shakes these trails, they all derail
Phony false and frail
An empty ocean
Lost our way with no direction home
Golden needles names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
Nothin?s sacred, waitin? on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes
Uh-huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn?t take it anymore
I cant take t...
In the depths of my mind I laid sleeping
Well i had such a dream when I woke I was weeping
The vision i saw danced around me
And my heart saw the things that my eyes couldn't see
Oh the sun crashed down to the ground
The moon rose up to the sky blood red
All the dead climbed up out from their graves
They fell to their knees as the stars started screaming
CHORUS
Come out come all
Come see it be...
They've got you movin' to the city
Oh my, you think you're lookin' pretty
But they've got their pistols too
Tucked down beneath their shoe
It's a new sensation
World annihilation
Moving to the music
Patiently it's waitin'
The city's screamin'
I can hear them breathin'
Cryin' out for wisdom
Hungry minds are feedin'
I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
