War Is All Over

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

Hometown Hero
04:17
|

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

Someone Else's
03:01
|

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

Tale of Earth and Moon
04:51
|
|||
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?

Que Sera Sara
03:01

|

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
