THE MORE THINGS CHANGE

Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed I got this feeling like a train's running through my head Turned on my radio to the same old song Some big mouth talking trying to tell Us where the world went wrong But all this talk of peace and love It's only for the news Cause everytime you trust someone You end up getting screwed The more things change The more they stay the same Everyone's your brother till you Turn the other way The more things change The more they stay the same All we need's a miracle To take us all away from the pain Came to this morning I was feeling mighty used Picked up the telephone but all I got's a major attitude Turned on the TV to the same old news Everybody thinks they got the answer To the same old blues Like a hot smokin' pistol on a Saturday night You gotta go for the throat You gotta fight for your life The more things change The more they stay the same Everyone's your brother till you Turn the other way The more things change The more they stay the same All we need's a miracle To take us all away from the pain Take me away Like a hot smokin' pistol On a saturday night You gotta go for the throat You gotta fight for your life The more things change The more they stay the same Everyone's your brother till you Turn the other way The more things change The more they stay the same All we need's a miracle To take us all away The more things change The more they stay the same Everyone's your brother till you Turn the other way The more things change The more they stay the same All we need's a miracle The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change The more things change



LOVE'S GOT ME DOIN TIME

Have mercy on a poor boy's heart Cause I got the key that can Make your motor start Can't you love me Without messin' me around You took everything I got Then kick me when I'm down Ooo, got this funny feeling That you ain't on the level I look into those eyes But all I see's the devil I heard through the vine That you might not be mine Don't lock me up I can't pay the fine Make up your mind Before you make me lose mine Your love's got me doin' time Have mercy on a poor boy's soul I've been down so long Never thought I could feel so low First you love me Then you stab my back Close the door, turn the key All I can see is black Ooo, got this funny feeling That you ain't on the level I look into those eyes But all I see's the devil I heard through the vine That you might not be mine Don't lock me up I can't pay the fine Make up your mind Before you make me lose mine Your love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin' Love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin' Love's got me doin' time So what's a poor boy supposed to do I've done everything I can I've been so true You got a mean streak Like an alley cat You sucked all the love from me Like a vampire bat Ooo, got this funny feeling That you ain't on the level I look into those eyes But all I see's the devil I heard through the vine That you might not be mine Don't lock me up I can't pay the fine Make up your mind Before you make me lose mine Your love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin' Love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin' Love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin' Love's got me doin' time



SHELTER ME

Everybody needs a little place they can hide Somewhere to call their own Don't let nobody inside Every now and then we all need to let go For some it's the doctor For me it's rock and roll For some it's a bottle For some it's a pill Some people wave the bible Cause it's giving them a thrill Others point their finger If they don't like what they see If you live in a glass house Don't be throwing rocks at me We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie But when the doors are closed There ain't nothin' he won't try Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's Treating his best friend's wife Tipper led the war against the record industry She said she saw the devil on her MTV To look into the cabinet It takes more than a key Just like Jimmy's skeletons And his ministry We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright Hit it now For some it's the needle For some it's the kill Some people wave the bible Cause it's giving them a thrill You can spend your money Before you get your pay With a toss of the dice You can piss it all away We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright



HEARTBREAK STATION

Waiting at the station Tears filling up my eyes Sometimes the pain you hide Burns like a fire inside Look out my window Sometimes it's hard to see The things you want in life Come and go so easily She took the last train Out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make A brand new start She took the last train Out of my heart Watching the days go by Thinking 'bout the plans we made Days turn into years Funny how they fade away Sometimes I think of those days Sometimes I just hide away Waiting on that 9:20 train Waiting on a memory She took the last train Out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make A brand new start She took the last train Out of my heart My lady's on the fly And she's never coming back My love is like a steam train Rolling down the tracks yea, yea She took the last train Out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make A brand new start She took the last train Out of my heart She took the last train Out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make A brand new start She took the last train Out of my heart



SICK FOR THE CURE

There used to be a time When I thought I had the answers Answers to the questions That nobody knew Used to be a time When I had some time But when I had the time I didn't know what to do Wasted all those years Never gettin' any younger Times kept a changin' But I still got the hunger Only trouble is The walls are closing in Sometimes I want to Give it all away I just want to be free Free like the wind And if the wind fills my sails Then I'm never coming back again Maybe I'll head down south To New Orleans Wouldn't have no taxes Cause I wouldn't have no means Looking for a Genie That could fill my dreams But dreams become reality And real ain't what it seems to be I just want to be free Free like the wind And if the wind fills my sails Then I'm never coming back again I just want to be free Free like the wind And if the wind fills my sails Then I'm never coming back again Sick for the cure On this roller coaster ride It can take you real low And it can get you real high Just passin' time But time ain't on our side Ah, guitar I just want to be free Free like the wind And if the wind fills my sails Then I'm never coming back again I just want to be free Free like the wind And if the wind fills my sails Then I'm never coming back again I just want to be free Free like the wind And if the wind fills my sails Then I'm never coming back again



ONE FOR ROCK AND ROLL

I was born on the dawn of a new society And I feel lucky that my eyes could see People standing up and being Who they want to be People made the music And the music made them free Now I was just a baby through The summer of love they say But it still feels like it was today And if the road gets rough I pick up my guitar and play It's always been right by my side To help me on my way Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow Ain't anticipating what's to come And I don't need to worry 'bout The things I have not done Long as I got Rock and Roll I'm forever young Now we can't always understand this world Farther along we'll understand it all The 70s looked like we all Were headed for a fall But those who listened hard enough Could hear the summer call Now I was growing up through all of this My first beer and love and my first kiss You never learn the things in school You learn by living and going through You taught me how to be myself How can I thank you Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow Ain't anticipating what's to come And I don't need to worry 'bout The things I have not done Long as I got Rock and Roll I'm forever young Play a little now Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow Ain't anticipating what's to come And I don't need to worry 'bout The things I have not done Long as I got Rock and Roll I'm forever young Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow Ain't anticipating what's to come And I don't need to worry 'bout The things I have not done Long as I got Rock and Roll I'm forever young Long as I got Rock and Roll I'm forever young Ain't it the truth



DEAD MAN'S ROAD

When I was young Old man sat me on his knee He told me if I had a dream I could be what I wanna be Now life goes on A voice echoes in the wind It's telling me to carry on Now I know that it's him He said Whoa, watch out boy Don't go messin' with your life Cause it ain't no toy Lord help ya to carry life's load It could all pass you by Down on Dead Man's Road Alright Now I got a good woman You know she's lookin' out for me And if I get a little blind You know she helps me to see But I gotta keep a runnin' Cause they're catchin' up to me I think I hear that voice again This time it says to me He said Whoa, watch out boy Don't go messin' with your life Cause it ain't no toy Lord help ya to carry life's load Don't you let it pass you by Down on Dead Man's Road Look out When I was young Old man sat me on his knee He told me if I had a dream I could be what I wanna be Now life goes on A voice echoes in the wind It's telling me to carry on Now I know that it's him He said Whoa, watch out boy Don't go messin' with your life Cause it ain't no toy Lord help ya to carry life's load Don't you let it pass you by Down on Dead Man's Road Whoa, watch out boy Don't go messin' with your life Cause it ain't no toy Lord help ya to carry life's load Don't you let it pass you by Down on Dead Man's Road



MAKE YOUR OWN WAY

Born and raised in a one dog town That never took a chance or a dare The times kept a changin' But it all passed 'em by The prejudices in the air Drove me to cocaine eyes By the age of 15 Kept my mama walking the floor But I had to draw the line For the very last time She kicked my ass out the door It ain't always easy When you're living hand to mouth The more you put in The less you get out It ain't always easy When you're living day to day It ain't always easy When you're tryin' to make your own way Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make yor own way Nobody's gonna die for you I remember rollin' dice on the run Looking for a winning hand We never stop to wonder At the wonders passing by Just searchin' for the promised land We met a mean old man Who dealt a dirty hand Promised we could touch the sky But the devil's his friend He put the pen in my hand Said you can pay me back After you die It ain't always easy When you're living hand to mouth The more you put in The less you get out It ain't always easy When you're living day to day It ain't always easy When you're tryin' to make your own way Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make yor own way Nobody's gonna die for you Ah, ah, ah sometimes you gotta Walk a straight line Ah, ah, ah feel like I'm Just doing time Ooo, when life gets a little hard You gotta gotta ooo make your own way Sometimes you gotta make your Own way, here we go Ooo, sing it for 'em now Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make your own way Nobody's gonna die for you



ELECTRIC LOVE

When I was down An angel came to me And she touched me inside That woman set me free Turned on the light So I could see That there was fire inside And I could feel the heat She's got the power, she gets me high She can take a storm and make it shine She keeps the spark burning over time That woman's got electric love There ain't no medicine That makes me fly Like when I'm with my sweet woman She keeps me so satisfied And if we had no money We'd still get by And if the world should stop turnin' Our love would be alive



LOVE GONE BAD

If I hear you stalkin' Looking for sympathy You just keep on walkin' Actin' like you don't know me Ain't nothin' new for you Honey what you put me through Seven years ago today There ain't no other way Once bitten now two cents shy Almost the apple of your daddy's eye But your love Your love's gone bad Yea, yea, yea Your love Your love's gone bad If I hear you talkin' Gettin' in my ear Listen to the words I say Let me make this very clear Don't ask for money Don't you think my name Everything was sunny Dream about it ain't the same Once bitten now two cents shy Almost the apple of your daddy's eye But your love Your love's gone bad Yea, yea, yea Your love Your love's gone bad Once bitten now two cents shy Almost the apple of your daddy's eye But your love Your love's gone bad Yea, yea, yea Your love Your love's gone bad



WINDS OF CHANGE

I look into the mirror Can almost count the years The memories are clearer Of all those things I feared I watch the time pass slowly It comes and goes like the waves The sea can touch the sky at night It's got the freedom I crave I'm going through changes In my life I'm going through changes It'll be alright Look into a picture A thousand years are told Now is it any wonder What our tomorrows hold Our yesterdays are over You know they go so fast If I could rule the winds of change You know I'd make it all last I'm going through changes In my life I'm going through changes It'll be alright Alright I walked alone Through the blackest night I felt the cold I felt the bite I took the high road But it ain't right It's just the low road In disguise I'm going through changes Ah yea Everything's gonna be alright Got to the top of an Uphill climb Only to look Down the other side Just when you think It's on your side This world will show you Ain't no reason to the rhyme I'm going through changes Ah yea Everything's gonna be alright Times keep a changing every day Watch out now cause it's heading Your way Ah yea Seems like the world turned upside down Seems like everything's falling down But it's all getting better every day Watch out now cause a good Times heading our way Ah, every day Every day Every day Every day Every day Every day
