What do we want? War And how do we want it? All over Go home to your wife and kids because war is all over Go back to the life you lived because war is all over Go home to that old guitar get some rhythm in your feet It's all you have left to live for because war is all over War is all over Go home to your dogs and cats Still as stupid as can be Go home your TV sets Whatever makes you feel free Go home call your parents up Cook yourself something to eat Go home where your lover waits Have 'em lick your feet The newest news is in And everyone agrees War is all over Go home to your families Go home to your skull head bong Smoke yourself some dreams Go home to that tequila bottle Get the kick you need Go home to your pick up truck Drive across country War is all over babe, Nothin' but lovin' for me The newest news is in And everyone agrees War is all over Go home to your families and sing… War is all over

Billy boy was 18, when he went off to college. Went to pursue his dreams, of studying economics. He left his school a scholar, he left his town a shooting star, They know he would get far, don't forget us, when you do Come on home, hometown hero, come home, Papa's at the airport, gonna take you to your favorite restaurant Show me that smile, it's been a while He got lost in the process, decided he was an artist, Nobody understood him, though he had so much to say. He moved out to the city, it was there he found he purpose It was there he found his true love, it was there she broke his heart Come on home, hometown hero, come home, It's the same old same but at least they all know your name Come on home, big city zero, come home, Why not stick around, be a big fish in a small pond, Slow your stride, your momma's getting old He tried out all sorts of drugs, and had all these visions Learned how to see through, the brain wash he lives in Turned his back on academics, turned his back on religion, Turned his back on his family, he'll return to them when he's dead Come on home, hometown zero, come home, Nobody's heard from you in years, where the hell have you gone, Come on home, first born son, You turned into someone I have never known, Tell me child, where did I go wrong Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

When I reached out to grab your hand, you gasped But when you turned and you saw it was me, you started to laugh And those eyes, how they shine, with a love, that's not mine. How it slows, my heart to know, that you're someone else's girl When I reached out to grab your hand, you cried You avoided my glance and you said, now's not the time And those eyes, shine with pain, of a lover, betrayed. How it slows, my heart to know, that you're someone else's girl When I reached to grab your hand, I was hanging on a cliff You saw I needed your help, but your heart couldn't give And those eyes, shine with sadness, of a lover, lost How it slows, my heart to know, that you chose to let me go

Well long ago when the earth was just a fireball A lonely passion burning out in space Moon came along with the wind and the waves Lulled that lonely mama into its grace Well I’m on fire man Getting what I desire Let’s get higher For eras upon eras so tightly engaged Girl you give me fever won’t you move in right away They started off small got themselves a plant Soon a few animals, oh the joy love can bring Well we’re on fire man Getting what we desire Let’s get higher Before we have a child you must first promise me To never leave my side for eternity The moon so in love, said baby I do Dedicate my soul to loving you Well I’m a lion man Getting what I desire Let’s get higher I can’t find the words for what I’m feeling Love is a drug and I've been dirty dealing We twist and we tumble, so tightly entwined Can’t have a thought without you on my mind

Pennies 03:29
Well who still uses pennies anymore? Hell I toss 'em in the water, just to see if they float. Save all my birth years, for my favorite fountain. Make a sort of curveball wish, give a kiss, and drop 'em. I throw all of my change out on the street, Life already good enough for me. You may think it's pity, Really it's just petty, What a feeling when the world is at your feet Well I went into a convenience store, And left with an inconvenient story, Caught in line behind a man, paying for a pack of cans, Ooo oOoo with my nickels and dimes, my nickels and dimes I knew what I had to do, I said today is your day, you lucky fool So I got him a job with a baseball cap, and I said Stick with this son, and you can buy all you want But he said, sir, I don't need you to survive It's been 28 years and look I'm still alive. Thank you for your charity, but I ain't a slave to the economy All I need to be happy Oh, are these nickels and dimes, these nickels and dimes. But who still uses pennies anymore? Who still uses pennies anymore?

When I first felt your heart, I lay in wonder of what we could be. But I stayed silent, stuck in a daydream, singing happily Que Sera Sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see, K Sara Sara, What will be, will be When you took me over the edge, And we were falling, falling in love, Will we be faithful, day after day, We asked the stars up above Que Sera Sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see, K Sara Sara, What will be, will be Now I am out, lost and alone, I ask my mirror, what have you done? Another tale of lovers, who can't stand each other, All that potential, gone Que Sera Sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see, K Sara Sara, What will be, will be

Mama Dan 05:30
I moved to the city for a lover And I met Mama Dan McLane She may have stole my heart, But he kept the blood pumping inside of me He was my rock 'n' roll daddy, King of the honey bees (gonna get stung) I needed that ol' soul revival, He made a dancing man outta me I don't know, how you gave so much love, but Mama Dan, you're my heroine Standing high over 6 feet, full beard, straight teeth Teddy bear composure, everybody wanted a hug, and baby he had so much love He was my Santa Claus, my Jesus Christ, My savior in disguise I met this man, and changed my ways and learned to live the good life, yeah I moved to the city for lover, And I met Mama Dan McLane, I gave him my heart, and he took it with him to his grave
