Poison Apple

Buy me those fancy things
Gold teeth and diamond ring
Make me feel like a king
I'll wear them into the town
No one will figure out
That they were gifts
From a thief from a neighboring town
Seemingly happy
Wealthy and healthy
And none be the wiser at all
They will envy my luxury
Wish they could be like me
See what I want them to see
Because of what I wear
I don't care
That they came from a thief
Today I will go sailing
On the grand open sea
We call society
Tomorrow I will lay in bed
Worry bout' what they said
And what they say when they
Talk about me
I will get my eight hours of sleep
Get there by counting sheep
More and more resemble me
And all of my petty friends
Each day a means to end
I awake in the morning just to ask what happened
I used to be a man
Who stood for something
What happened?
What am I to do about my situation?
I work all day and get no vacation
I'm so tired, I'm so tired of the lie
Take a bite from the poison apple
Pay rent as high as they do in the Big Apple
Bought and sold and bought and sold and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over again
And what am I to say?
That I was wrong
To want
To live in harmony among
The rest of them
What am I to do about my situation?
Seems prevelant across most every nation
Bought and sold and bought and sold and
Bought and sold and bought and sold then
Take a bite from the poison apple
Pay as much for rent as they do for Mormon chapels
Bought and sold and bought and sold and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over and over and over and
Over and over again

I am a capitalist
I'm gonna take your money
I laugh at you because
I think its kinda funny
That one would be inclined to share
I've got all my possesions
I know which ones are mine and
You'd better watch your step
If you're walkin' round my property line
Cause its mine
And I went to church today
So I know heaven awaits
And I can take all my things
With me
I am sharp shooter
A real live wire
The kind of guy you might classify as a liar
But I'm not
I'll swear that I'm not
My father taught me well bout'
Political religions
The left calls it progress
But I just call it givin' in
Socialisms a sin
And I prayed to god today
So I know heaven awaits
And I ain't got no time to be disillusioned
I've got a big hole in my heart
I'm gonna fill it up with money, and clothes, and Jesus
I've got a big hole in my heart
I'm gonna fill it up with money, and clothes, and Jesus
I've got a big hole in my heart
I'm gonna fill it up with money, and clothes, and Jesus
I've got a big hole in my heart, I've got a big hole in my heart
I've got a big hole in my heart
I am captialist
I'm gonna take your money
I am a captialist
I'm gonna take your money
I am captialist
I'm gonna take your money
I am a captialist
I'm gonna take your money

First came the World War
Then came the Cold War
I saw no difference between the sides
Man against man
A gun in his hand
He needs no good reason to fight
And he'll die
And they'll try
To tell you
It was for you and I
But it was for them
Said it was for them
No one speaks for us
No one speaks for us
And as for those who think they do
Their time is through
They built a machine
In search of a dream
And all that they got was a nightmare
So with a suit and a tie
As their allaby
They furiously run the world's affiars
And its not fair
Cause its not theirs
And if you really care
You'll stick up to them
Help me stick up to them
No one speaks for us
No one speaks for us
And as for those who think they do
Their time is through
I will speak for you
You know my heart is true
We'll go to Washington
And see what we can do
We'll see what we can do
I'm gonna see what I can do

We are not who we think we are
Just help me know you by your name
I've been waiting for you in the dungeon
Saying praise every so often
Just help me see through sorrow and pain
I've been walking round with a has been
Fearing what may or may not happen
But this is so much closer
Than anything I have ever imagined
This is so much closer
Than anywhere I have ever been
This is not what you think it is
Just help me know myself when I
Put on that old mask and I get lost in
Trying to be someone
Caught in that thin line between
The artist and the egotist dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
But this is so much closer
Than anywhere I have ever imagined
And this is so much closer
Than anything I have ever been
And I am trying harder
Much harder than I did back then
And I am getting nowhere
Thats how it ends and how it begins
--------------------------------------------
But you are young and bright
And you've got the whole damn night
Said you've got the whole damn night
To figure out who you're gonna be
Yeah you've got the whole damn night
Yeah you've got the whole damn night
To figure out hows it gonna be
Hows it gonna be?
Hows it gonna be?
Hows it gonna be?

Fall

I am a season changing
Drastically in fall
But here in California
Things don't change much at all
Leaves stay green
Still my head turns
Constantly involved
In lessons to be learned
Turn, turn, turn
I'm climbing up a ladder
Wondering if it matters
And I'm having my doubts
But its gonna come full circle
And I know that its worth it
The sun will come out
Planetary movement
Aligning with the sun
Leaves start to die
Fall has begun
A harvest moon in passing
Time becomes gray
I've been here since the dawn of days
And I'll go out that way
Oh, oh, so slow
I'm climbing up a ladder
Wondering if it matters
And I'm having my doubts
But its gonna come full circle
And I know that its worth it
Cause we are but souls
Fading in and out of control
And I am but a man
Doing the best I can
The best I can
The best I can
The best I can

Myths (All Kinds of War)
08:14

Running horse he lit the fire
But where was I
When the myth became real?
Constructing my identity
Through a slew of collective memory
And where I am to draw the line
And how can I
Truly call a spade?
When I stay so well aware of fluidity
Each individual thing involved in eternity
Still singing out that age old fallacy
When I get there
When I get there
When I get there then I'll finally be free
When I get there
When I get there
When I get there then I'll finally know peace
And Running Horse he lit the fire
But from where do I
Feel as though I derive the right
To speak as one of those people
Who lost their way of life to the forces of evil?
And Jesus Christ he lived a good life
But how can I
Be expected to solely identify?
This man lived thousands of years ago
He knows nothing of the contemporary geo-political struggle
Still singing out that fallacy around the world
When he gets here
When he gets here
When he gets here then we'll finally be free
When he gets here
When he gets here
When he gets here then we'll finally know peace
Alright
I need something real
So real
My god its all so real
So real
Running Horse he lit the fire
---------------------------------------------------
Aurora Borealis
Icy skies at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man
To the fields of green
In the home land we've never seen
From a borrowed tune
From Neil Young, John Misty and me
In all of my dreams
Pocahontas and me
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas, John Misty, Neil Young & me
Pocahontas!

Run boy run faster boy run
It seems the Earth lay still and not the sun
You were lost inside your head
And I had always told you that
You'd love again
You'd surely love again
I ran up the side of a mountain this morning
Looking for something to sing about
And I got freaked out
On my way down
Cause I did not allot for a proper escape route
And I've always been that kind of person
I'm really into making my own way
I've been there
And I've been here
And its all the same
(All the same)
I so obviously lack patience
I run up mountains and don't pay attention
I've been so distracted lately
A cat in a craddle
Cat in a craddle
Cat in a craddle
Cat in a craddle
Cat in a craddle
Cat in a craddle
Cat in a craddle
Oh my god its so high
How am I to get down?
