Even You
Like an idol bronzing in the sun,
You’re feeling like you’re number one;
Well, better days, you can’t recall-
You got it made; you got it all.
You’re strutting down the avenue,
You hear something old, yet something new.
Maybe you’ll just hum along-
Reminds you of the Bowie song…
And while you’re digging through that vinyl in your mind,
Open up your heart and tell me what you find in there;
And if you’re hearing shades of Hallelujah, too,
Well, good for you.
You saw right through.
You’re living like the kings of old;
Your days are bought, your nights are sold,
And, in between, your friends appease you
‘Til you’ve got them on their knees-you’d
Be satisfied if they were on all fours,
As long as someone does your chores.
You never thought to look behind you,
Sure the future would not find you.
You thought your cleverness brought fortune from above.
You never realized, it’s luck that you were running off of.
You claim your innocence, the devil claims his due-
You say, Even me?
Yes, even you.
Even you.
Even you
Even you, dear….ooooooooo
Even you,
Even you.
Even you, dear, ooooooo
Even you.
You’ll find that you don’t got a friend
When you haven’t got a dime to lend
.
They’ll leave you dry, they’ll leave you there-
They’ll leave you with your cupboards bare.
And even when your fate is clear,
You’re sure salvation will appear.
You think the knocking at your door
Is someone there to bring you more.
The numbers on your arm will tell them who you are.
Another tired face in line to ride the rail car.
They’ll lay you in the ground, you still won’t have a clue:
You’ll say, Even me?
Yes, even you.
Even you……

Paper Dragons

so many different shades of green
so many songs still left to sing
golden silver copper rules
days and dreams
and simple things
like
paper dragons burning
paper dragons burning
look at all these money trees
see em burning in the breeze like
paper dragons burning
paper dragons burning
look at you and me
still stocking up on leaves
oh no
never thought this day would come
thought we'd hear the clickin of the gun
well come on kids start diggin up the lawn
nothin left to do now but run run run
from
paper dragons burning
paper dragons burning
look at all these money trees
see em burning in the breeze like
paper dragons burning
paper dragons burning
look at you and me
still believing that we're free
oh no
one more breath of oxygen
would bring my spirit back again
if only there was any left to spare
and just as my last heart string broke
i saw your face in a wisp of smoke
and i realized my time was never mine
but there was no one there to see my cryin
and there was no one there
to hear me cryin...

We Are Together
(Original lyrics by Quebb)
You see a division.
You hold the line.
You see disease in our invention
But you say we're doing fine.
You see the ruins.
You tie the bind
You see the ease of resignation
To the automated mind.
We are together now.
We are in deep.
We are together now.
We are the covenants we keep.
Go tell the soldier.
Go tell the farmer.
Go tell the poet and the Pilate
The myth of our armor.
Go tell the seers.
Go tell the blind.
Go warn the rich man and the poor man
Of the automated mind.
(Chorus)
You see dissension.
You hold your own.
You see the crystal night unfolding
And you say we are alone.
You see them gather.
You stand behind.
You hear the calling of the common
To the automated mind.
Go tell the powers
Go tell the small.
Go tell the prophets and the preachers
Of the oneness of it all.
Go tell the fury.
Go tell the kind.
Go tell the stubborn and the stranger
Of the automated mind.
We are together now.
We are in deep.
We are together now.
We are the covenants we keep.
We are tog ether now.
We are in deep.
We are together now.
We are the covenants we keep.
