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
