LYRICS
Oh, what a year it’s been
When hell freezing over did begin
Polarization at the polls
Realization of whose hearts have holes
Oh, what a year it’s been
When hell freezing over did begin
Listen! (Hear the) screams of tortured souls
Heaven? Better forget such lofty goals

King of the rude and crude
Destroys our peaceful interlude
The pseud of the shrewd “dude”
Screwed by lewd attitude

Delusional… the delusion of all
Install the “Great America” fall
Encourage the brawl
Encourage the maul
Drop your jaw in appall

LYRICS
When I have you at hand
I come to understand

When I have you at hand… come to understand

You send me to never, never, Neverland

When I have you at hand… come to understand

LYRICS
I love the morning when I rise
Another day… another surprise
It always feels like noon is here too soon
Wish the day would never go away
Until the nightime

When the light gets slight
It’s the right time
Get a dose of holding you close

First Verse

You’re my spark in the dark
The fire in desire
The nightime
Feels like the right time
Nightime

LYRICS
From the dawn’s first light
’til I go sleep at night
I don’t mind you’re on my mind
Girlfriend
On my mind all the time
Girlfriend

From the day’s beginning
’till the day’s end
Her thought keeps me going
Girlfriend

Love’s on the home stretch
Love’s just around the bend
Going to catch this train
Refrain:
Girlfriend

Can I call you girlfriend?

LYRICS
Everyone knows how it feels to be the bad man
From a badland
They understand
But do you know how it feels to be a good man
Up on the bandstand
Free! In command

Let the music poor/pour from you
Pour some more
Let the music poor/pour from you
’till it flows all over me, too

No one wants to feel mistreated
Repeated… in the same grade
Rather feel elevated
Elated… we’ve got it made

Let the music poor/pour from you
Pour some more
Let the music poor/pour from you
’till it flows all over me, too

bookmark_borderBlowin’ In The Wind

Coversong originally made famous by Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul and Mary.
Written by Bob Dylan

G        C            G
How many roads must a man walk down
           C          D
Before you call him a man?
       G        C           G
Yes, n' how many seas must a white dove sail
           C             D
Before she sleeps in the sand?
       G        C              G
Yes, n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
           C          D
Before they're forever banned?

    C          D          G             Em
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
    C         D             G
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
