Hotline to Elvis

See him flying overhead
See him in loaf of bread
See him at the Taco Bell
See him saving us from hell
Now he's living underground
Now he's driving all around
He's in Memphis Tennessee
He is living next to me
1-900-909
ELVIS
Elvis
Hotline to Elvis
Elvis flew my UFO
Elvis showed me where to go
Elvis comes to me in dreams
Elvis sings to me it seems
He isn’t dead, he’s only sleeping
In Alaska he lies weeping
He’ll return when things are grey
He’ll return to save the day
1-900-909

We Defend Ourselves
05:45
|

|
It's night but we can't see the stars
Helicopters, armored cars
Men with riot guns and bars
And little children - with scars
Pregnant woman in a burkha
On her way to the bazaar
Two shots hit her from a distance
Hope they'll take down the resistance
Your uniform makes you so brave
But we'll no longer be your slaves
Strip away your lying words
Flabby white man...
You SHOULD be scared
You SHOULD be scared
Because we won't do as we're told
We won't do as we're told
We defend ourselves

You went to school on Daddy's money
Paid by slaves, you thought it was funny
Now here you are running a nation
Built on lies and white domination
Your empty smiles, your tiny wages
Children dying in boats and cages
While white people with outrages
Run the world and nothing changes
But we'll make sure
That someday you will know
The crown lies heavy on the king
Whoever you may meet
Wherever you may go
The crown lies heavy on the king
Violence solves nothing, that's what you cried
But we'll pull down monuments to your pride
We won't build your wall, we'll build a world for all
Where we can stand tall
Some things you can never buy
No matter how hard that you try
Some day you'll run out of borrowed power
And then we'll make sure that you die
We'll make sure
That someday you will know
The crown lies heavy on the king
Whoever you may meet
Wherever you may go
The crown lies heavy on the king

Old Boys Network
03:46
|

|
I can do what I want
I can get what I want
Because me and my friends are the people who matter
Me and my friends are the people who flatter
Old boys network
We’re the old boys network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You run the race but we run the world
You do the work and we take the spoils
We're the old boys network
Old boys network
If you want to succeed, you have to bleed
Sit down and shut up and listen to me
Don't talk back, do as you're told
Don't talk back, do as you're told
Old boys network
We’re the old boys network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We don't need girls, who wants girls?
Too much makeup and too many curls
The only thing they're good for is cooking and breeding
Our biggest mistake was teaching them reading
Old boys network
We’re the old boys network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Speed of Sound
05:43
|

|
6am and I'm alone again
In a bed in a Northern town
The sun's coming up, and I'm feeling rough
And I'm coming down
It's always morning somewhere
The sun will always rise
But when the sun goes down, will I turn around
And wake up beside you?
I'm wired for the speed of sound
I die if I stay on the ground
I live in undiscovered lands
And shifting sands of you
Fragile right from the start
One mistake and we fell apart
Nothing to say, nowhere to go
So... on with show
Do I do what I always do?
Or try to be something new?
Be the man of experience
Or the boy that never grew?
I'm wired for the speed of sound
I die if I stay on the ground
I live in undiscovered lands
And shifting sands of you
6am and I'm alone again
In a bed in a Northern town
The sun's coming up, and I'm feeling rough
And I'm coming down
I'm wired for the speed of sound
I die if I stay on the ground
I live in undiscovered lands
And shifting sands of you

In the Dead of Night
05:33
|

|
In the dead of night
We hear them come
Masked men with cars and guns
Masked men with hate in their hearts
We hide in fear
Hide in the darkness they bring here
Hide as they come near
In the dead of night
In the dead of night
We hide among the few trees
Left alone
We hide among the animals
Left alone
And watch
As they burn our homes
In the dead of night
In the dead of night
Someday a reckoning will come
Someday a reckoning will come
Someday a reckoning will come
Someday a reckoning will come
In the dead of night

The Great Sea

I will give all that I possess
To cross the sea for your caress
To cross the sea that brings us harm
To cross the sea into your arms
The Great Sea
Is calling me
Millenium
Destiny
The Great Sea
Is calling me
Dominion
Destiny
There’s nothing left but a memory
There’s nothing left but a part of me
And your voice on the wind
I had no choice, I had to conquer you
I had to conquer you
The silver moon is high and we are under it
The silver wave is high and we are covered by it
The Great Sea
Is calling me
Millenium
Destiny
The Great Sea
Is calling me
Dominion
Destiny

The Best Thing
03:42
|
|||
|
Grumpy in the morning
Sleepy at night
And all the bits in between
Are the best thing
You're the best thing
That ever happened to me
You're the best thing
You're the best thing
Taking pictures of the cats
In the garden tending plants
Wearing a big straw hat
No matter where you're at
When you look at me
From the corner of your eye
And I see you smile
It's the best thing
It's the best thing
You're the best thing
That ever happened to me
You're the best thing
You're the best thing

All 3
06:34

I want to take your life
And make it mine
It would be kind of a mercy
So kind
But I've destroyed everything
I ever got
You made me into something
Something that I'm not
Now I strip away the things
That aren’t me
My vulnerability
Will set me free
I want to be good
I want to be free
I want to be whole
I want all 3
As my life starts to fade
I finally see
Where my home is
You made me see inside of me
The Holy Trinity
Of self-help
Just exceeds my grasp
It’s a pain in the ass
I want to be good
I want to be free
I want to be whole
I want all 3
Just give me 3 things
Just give me 3 things
That will make me me
That will set me free
That will comfort me in my old age
Stop telling me
Stop telling me what I need to do
Just give me these 3 things
And then I’ll leave you alone
Be good
Be free
Be whole
Be good
Be free
Be told
Be good
Be free
Be sold
To the highest bidder
Be good
Be free
Be old
Be decrepit
Be good
Be free
Be coal
Be dust
Be good
Be free
Be untold
And forgotten
Be good
Be free
Be whole
Be whole
Be in a hole
Be anything
Be anything
Be anything
Be… something

Hello again
I just wanted to say that I miss you
I miss you every day, when you’re away
I miss you
The Universe is ours
If we want it
Bending down from above
If we want it
The Fountain of Joy is ours
If we want it
The Water of life and love
If we want it
And I miss you
I miss you
The stars are ours
If we want it
This world is ours
If we want it
Eternity is ours
If we want it
Everything is ours
If we want it
And I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
And I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
