Immigrant Song

I had a good thing going back when they still called it Bombay.
I was walking ‘round like Amitabh Bachchan in 1988.
I was a good young student.
I said haanji, uhsha, okay!
I did as I was told, I did obey.
One day ma’ and pa’ told me “son we’re off to go far,
You should say goodbye to those you are grateful for.”
So I said my goodbyes
We packed out bags to fly
and landed a little later at JKF.
Where no one knew how to talk,
I saw my first mohawk,
and I knew I had landed in America.

America
03:51

It took a whole lot of ships to cross the ocean
It took a whole lot of funs to make us think we took precautions
It took a whole lot of time for us to rob this land
A whole lot of time for us to make a stand
A whole lot of time to push us right along
but it took a whole lot of money to make us feel so strong.
That’s how we built America, land of the free.
We took a whole lot of opinions and we turned them into law.
We took a nation of millions and filled them with the fear of god.
It took a whole lot of money to keep Jesus on our side.
A whole lot of money to turn the truth into lies.
A whole of money to make us feel so brave
but it took a whole lot of time for us to free the enslaved.
That’s how we built America.

Slowly

Take every single word, turn it into thought, put it in a song and turn it into love.
Please don’t apologize, no one here was late, everybody knows that life is leaving us behind.
I will love you slowly.
You called me up on the telephone and told me you were all alone.
Aint that a shame.
You say you crawl into you own and once you did you were on your way.
I will love you slowly.

If there was nothing see, then why open your eyes?
Like you do every morning at sunrise.
You put on your shoes, you put on your game face,
And you walk out that door no matter what it takes.
And you spend your time spinning wheels around
and kissing that hand that holds you down.
I will spend my life working till the day I die.
I will spend my time working for a better life.
If there is nothing to learn then there is nothing to feel.
If there’s no where to go, then how do we know any of this is real?
If there’s no where to go, then there’s nothing past that hill? Huh?
But why do you think you got two legs babe?
Surely not to stand still.
And you spend your time spinning wheels around
and kissing that hand that holds you down.
I will spend my life working till the day I die.
I will spend my time working for a better life.
And if you want it, there it is, but you know what you’ve got to do.
Working nine to five, baby that’s what you do.
you spend your time spinning wheels around
and kissing that hand that holds you down.
I will spend my life working till the day I die.
I will spend my time working for a better life.

Light up.
The first taste is so sweet that it knocks you off your feet.
So when you light up, light up in the name of love.
In the name of love. Light up.
I was thinking out loud.
I was dreaming without making a sound
I was wishing there was something that someone could say
to get my mind off misery.
But when I light up, I light up in the name of love.
In the name of love. Light up.
The first taste is so sweet that it knocks you off your feet.
So when you light up, light up in the name of love.

Sally please.
Sally tell me, tell me where you’re going, tell me where you’re going tonight.
You know I need you, oh yes I need you tonight.
Take me, throw me in the corner, throw me and kiss me right.
You know shaking, yes i’m aching for your body, aching for your touch tonight.
Sally please.
You won’t have to say anymore
that you don’t have to wait anymore
You won’t have to stay anymore for me.
Sally please. Tell me where you’re going, tell me where you’re going tonight.

I’m a slave to you, Bamboo.
Oh how I love you.
How could I possibly love you anymore than I already do?
Bamboo.
I would give you my heart if you could put it on your walls and call it art.
That’s where my heart belongs, on the walls of Bamboo.
Well, it feels so good to be home again.
Well, it’s just so good to be home again.
Where nothing seems to end or begin.
Well, it’s just so good to be home.
I’ll see you here tomorrow and the next day.
and the next day and the next day and the next day.
Well, I wake up each morning and the world’s on my mind.
I’m shaken, I’m beaten, I’m broke and I’m tired.
When I walk through that door as I go out at night.
I won’t be refused, I won’t be denied the next day.

Millions Of Dollars
03:26
|

|
I was driving on down Broad street.
I was trying to catch my friends play at 11:15.
I was connected to the universe, so I knew it would be a good night for me.
Now you can’t just turn left on Broad St.
So I missed my destination so I that I could proceed
To Meadow and Broad, but before I could cross I saw headlights they were flying at me.
Oh the suspense of a Mercedes Benz, being where it shouldn’t be.
And I thought everybody’s making millions of dollars.
I don’t know how they do it, but I’ve got to learn how to do it.
Everybody’s making millions of dollars.
Yes they bitch and complain about their sorrows and strains
About how we had to temporarily close the street.
But may I remind you all, as you recall
Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither should Broad St.
Oh they’re surprised when I roll my eyes
When I hear about how hurt the luxury industry.
And I thought everybody’s making millions of dollars
I don’t know how they do it, but I’ve got to learn how to do it.
Everybody’s making millions of dollars.

Hey man, how you doing?
They say you’re doing good all the time.
They say you’re working hard,
but you hair’s always looking so fine.
Now I remember when you were a gentle soul
Now you’re fighting on the front lines in the name of rock and roll.
You’re just a rock star doing rock and roll things, baby.
Now all your friends are rockstars and their pets and neighbors too.
And they’ll carry an altar for the rest of their lives, the one they built for you.
Now I remember before you were sold.
Now you’re fighting on the front lines in the name of rock and roll.
You’re just a rock star doing rock and roll things, baby.
Thank you for doing everything you do.
I owe an apology and the world owes you a thank you.
Now I remember when you were a gentle soul
Now you’re passing off your lies in the name of rock and roll.
You’re just a rock star doing rock and roll things, baby.

Birthday Song
02:23
|

It’s your birthday, perhaps for the last time.
Go on and eat your cake. And me?
I will drink wine.
Are you getting older?
Or is time weighing down on your shoulder like I said it would do?
It did it to me and now it’s doing it to you.
It’s your birthday, but how can you tell for sure?
You said you can’t recall so many others from before.
Are you getting older?
Or is time doing exactly what I told you it would do?
It did it to me and now it’s doing it you.
Because it’s your birthday.
So happy birthday, I guess.

Silverchair

I was listening to Silverchair, I threw on some Chucks and grew out my hair.
I was feeling like a new man somehow.
Yes, a beat up 1983 Chevrolet Celebrity, drove me and boys around.
I used to wish that nothing ever changes at all.
I wished that nothing ever changes at all.
Well, that was then and this is now
And the only thing that cuts through the cloud
is what the fuck is going on here, people?
Before this whole thing starts to break
Let’s look at yesterday’s mistakes
and try to love each other as one and treat this world like it’s our home.
Because everything’s changing, everything is chaining all the time.
All the time.
You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.
There’s a million other people waiting to do exactly what you want to do.
You don’t have to run outside just to find a place to hide
You can look for yourself and tell me what you find.
Everything is changing all the time.
All the time.
