When the Bad Guys Win
When the bad guys win, it doesn’t seem right
You wake up with worries in the middle of the night
You really gotta wonder what kind of world we’re living in
Nothing makes any sense anymore when the bad guys win
When the bad guys win, it makes you want to scream
You wake up every morning t0 the same bad dream
All your hopes for tomorrow just took one on the chin
Every day is a nightmare when the bad guys win
When the bad guys win, there’s not much you can do
You’re trying to live in a place that has no place for you
There’s no way you can fight it. No reason to stay
When the bad guys win (When the bad guys win)
The good guys have to walk away
When the bad guys win, it’s hard to know what to say
It’s hard to find the strength to get through another day
You’re working for a brighter future but your patience wears thin
How you gonna build a world that’s fair when the bad guys win
When the bad guys win, there’s not much you can do
You’re trying to live in a place that has no place for you
There’s no way you can fight it. No reason to stay
When the bad guys win (When the bad guys win)
The good guys have to walk away
When the bad guys win, it’s so incredibly sad
You could never imagine things could get this bad
You want to write a happy ending but there’s nowhere to begin
It’s time to start a brand new story when the bad guys win
When the bad guys win, there’s not much you can do
You’re trying to live in a place that has no place for you
There’s no way you can fight it. No reason to stay
When the bad guys win (When the bad guys win)
The good guys have to walk away
When the bad guys win (When the bad guys win)
The good guys have to walk away
Blue-Eyed Susan
Don’t trust me, no matter what I do
When you need me the most is when I’ll turn my back on you
I’ve made up my mind
I’m just putting in my time
Saving my nickels and dimes for blue-eyed Susan
I will leave you far behind for blue-eyed Susan
You don’t know me. I’m just passing through
I might have an honest face but my heart can not be true
I live only for the day
When I will wake up so far away
In the land where I will stay with blue-eyed Susan
There’s nothing I won’t betray for blue-eyed Susan
She waits for me where the sky and sea divide
I will sacrifice, pay any price
To live by her side
One day I’ll run to find her across the sea
Don’t be a fool. You’re just my tool.
You can’t rely on me
I’m a liar. You can’t believe anything I say
My heart’s on fire. I’m counting down the days
There’s only one thing that I need
A thousand cuts can’t make me bleed
My heart and soul are guaranteed to blue-eyed Susan
I’m your prisoner but I’ll break free for blue-eyed Susan
There’s nothing I won’t betray for blue-eyed Susan
I will leave you far behind
The Shakes
Out of a still, quiet moment , everything starts to move
The earth starts slipping sideways like it’s got something to prove
Like you can’t expect tomorrow to be exactly like today
As the trembling grows stronger, all your plans just slide away
That’s the shakes
That’s when you feel the shakes
The earth gives and then she takes.
The ground beneath you breaks
And you feel the shakes
You never see it coming even when it’s overdue
You put it out of your mind. It couldn’t happen to you
But then you’re trapped inside it and you know there’s no escape
You can fight or you can ride it, but your world is changing shape
That’s the shakes
That’s when you feel the shakes
The earth gives and then she takes.
The ground beneath you breaks
And you feel the shakes
When the fault lines around you come calling
You’re going to stumble right into the cracks
You can put out your hands to keep from falling
But the way it was is never coming back
You’re gonna feel the shakes
The rich man thinks he earned it and it will always be this way
The poor man he knows better. How quick it all can slip away
You better sleep with one eye open behind those gates and castle walls
Cause when the big one comes knocking you’ve got a long long way to fall
It’s gonna shake
Everything is gonna shake
The earth gives and then she takes
Those castle walls are going to break
We’ll all feel the shakes
Everybody’s gonna shake
The earth gives and then she takes
Something new is gonna wake
And we’ll all feel the shakes
I Could Be You
When the bombs started falling, there was nowhere we could run
On every corner of every street, there was a man with a gun
We waited until sunset
Slipped away into the night
We walked for hours in the darkness
Until the border came into sight
I could be you, and you could be me
The places we were born are just accidents of history
We each do what we have to do for the sake of our family
I could be you. and you could be me
I carried my little daughter. My wife led my son by the hand
We’ve traveled through many dangers to arrive in this strange land
Fenced out like wild animals
Herded like we were sheep
Do you understand how a father feels
When his children have no place to sleep?
I could be you, and you could be me
The places we were born are just accidents of history
We each do what we have to do for the sake of our family
I could be you. and you could be me
I don’t want your money
I don’t want to take your job
I didn’t come to your country to cheat or steal or rob
I’m just trying to make a life where my kids can grow up strong
They deserve that much at least. They haven’t done anything wrong
Don’t hate me for what I’ve done, my friend. I surely don’t hate you
You would have done the very same thing. You’re a father, too
I could be you, and you could be me
The places we were born are just accidents of history
We each do what we have to do for the sake of our family
I could be you, and you could be me
I could be you. and you could be me
Ithaka
As you set out for Ithaka, you should hope the road is long
Hope to wander far enough to turn your life into a song
As you set out for Ithaka, remember how you have been blessed
The only monsters you will meet you already carry within your breast
She gives you this glorious journey across the seas of a great unknown
In the dark of your longest nights you will never be alone
Her light will guide you home
Ithaka
Keep Ithaka within your heart. You are destined to arrive one day
But not too soon: There’s so much for you to gather along the way
Memories of new harbors seen in the golden light of dawn
Knowledge, treasure, precious flowers to pluck before the bloom is gone
She gives you this glorious journey across the seas of a great unknown
In the dark of your longest nights you will never be alone
Her light will guide you home
Ithaka
Take your time arriving there
Better that you travel many years
Return with silver in your hair
And the roar of sea-storms in your ears
When you arrive at Ithaka, you will find her small and poor
Bring back all the riches you can carry. She can’t give you any more
But you will know this well by now, because a traveller learns
That the longest voyage never leaves behind the place to which you must return
She gives you this glorious journey across the seas of a great unknown
In the dark of your longest nights you will never be alone
Her light will guide you home
Ithaka
Ithaka
Ithaka
Graveyard Moon
Graveyard moon
Snow is coming soon
Windburned sky
Leaves are flying by
And I’m out here looking for you
What song did we sing
In the bloom of spring
You were there
Flowers in your hair
Now I’m out here looking for you
Whoever doesn’t have a home by now will forever wander
Feel the rain, dodge the lightning and the thunder
The hope that used to feed our hearts now feels like hunger
Under a graveyard moon
All summer long
I listened for your song
Sun on my skin
Winter’s chill within
I’m out here looking for you
Whoever doesn’t have a home by now will forever wander
Feel the rain, dodge the lightning and the thunder
The hope that used to feed our hearts now feels like hunger
Under a graveyard moon
Sometimes I think I hear your voice on the wind
Sometimes I think I see you dancing just around the bend
Sometimes I think this search is never gonna end
Under a graveyard moon
At the end of the day
This will all pass away
But I saw your face
And I remember your embrace
So I’m out here looking for you
Whoever doesn’t have a home by now will forever wander
Feel the rain, dodge the lightning and the thunder
The hope that used to feed our hearts now feels like hunger
Under a graveyard moon
Under a graveyard moon
Under a graveyard moon
Different
I built a house out of other people’s dreams
I learned that life is not as simple as it seems
I was exhausted from swimming against the stream
But one day I woke up and things were different
Different
Everything was different
What hurt so bad before didn’t matter anymore
Different
Everything just changed
One day I opened my eyes and the world was not the same
Everything was different
I was taught what was right and what was wrong
I learned how to fit in and go along
Somewhere I lost the words to my own song
But one day I woke up and things were different
Different
Everything was different
What hurt so bad before didn’t matter anymore
Different
Everything just changed
One day I opened my eyes and the world was not the same
Everything was different
As I look back it all went by so fast
Somehow I’ve found a little bit of peace at last
Its not much but its more than i could have asked
Cause one day I woke up and things were different
Different
Everything was different
What hurt so bad before didn’t matter anymore
Different
Everything just changed
One day I opened my eyes and the world was not the same
Everything was different
Nobody Knows
The truth is nobody knows
The truth is nobody knows
Answer peddlers, they stand around
Trying to shout each other down
The truth is nobody knows
The truth is all we have is time
The truth is all we have is time
Every day is a precious thing
A chance to dance and a time to sing
The truth is all we have is time
There’s no reason not to laugh
No reason not to cry
No reason not to stop and watch the parade pass by
The truth is nobody knows
The truth is I love you so
The truth is I love you so
In the soft grass we will lie
To watch the stars wheel through the sky
The truth is I love you so
There’s no reason not to laugh
No reason not to cry
No reason not to stop and watch the parade pass by
The truth is nobody knows
Fare Thee Well
Your eyes were so blue
Fare thee well
Your eyes were so blue
Fare thee well
Your eyes were so blue there was nothing I could do
Except run away from you
Fare thee well
You wore a chain of gold
Fare thee well
You wore a chain of gold
Fare thee well
You wore a chain of gold, such beauty to behold
I walked out into the cold
Fare thee well
Fare thee well, though I will never know you
Fare thee well, whatever life will show you
Fare thee well, may the future be your friend
Fare thee well, may fortune enfold you
Fare thee well, may one true lover hold you
Fare thee well, may you have blessings without end
You turned to say goodbye
Fare thee well
You turned to say goodbye
Fare thee well
You turned to say goodbye. I could not meet your eyes
I could laugh or I could cry
Fare thee well
Fare thee well, though I will never know you
Fare thee well, whatever life will show you
Fare thee well, may the future be your friend
Fare thee well, may fortune enfold you
Fare thee well, may one true lover hold you
Fare thee well, may you have blessings without end
I will see you in my dreams
Fare thee well
I will see you in my dreams
Fare thee well
I will see you in my dreams. Love is more than what it seems
Runs dark in secret streams
Fare thee well
Runs dark in secret streams
Fare thee well
