Born To Die
Life is too short now, to live it half way.
I'm cryin' for my cousin, who died yesterday.
He never had a chance, no, not to express his views.
I swear that he's leaving it, to the rest of you.
Oh he ...
CHORUS
lived his life of freedom, exactly the way that he wanted to.
But there's always that one thing, we never do count on.
You was born for it to happen to you ...
... oooo-oooo, oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo
He was on a motorcycle, in a side car.
They was just outside of town, they hadn't ridden far.
Out to have a good time, on a bike they built.
How was they to know it, that night that he'd be killed.
Oh he ...
CHORUS
... oooo-oooo, oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo
Oh he ...
CHORUS
Yes he ...
CHORUS
... oooo-oooo, oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo
oooo-oooo |
Dues
I think I'm headed for a terrible accident.
Made more plans than anyone who ever paid their rent.
I'm not stupid and I might be havin' too much pride.
Surgeon general has determined that I may as well die.
Jesus are you watching or have you gone blind.
Evil souls are upon us and we're surely runnin' out of time.
CHORUS
I tried religion and some holy roller steals my tenth.
In the grave yard I ain't strong enough to jump the fence.
Some men they say they got more soul than both my shoes.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
I might be workin' on a scene that I can never act.
Everybody's gonna think that my mind is cracked.
I don't care because it's my right to win or lose.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
Crazy, am I crazy for wanting so much more.
My mind says I can't ever give up but I still can't be sure.
CHORUS
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues. |
Sally
Oh little Sally, you know I love you baby.
Sally, I said I love you baby.
Sally ... it's alright, it's alright.
Remember girl when we both was younger.
It was the days we had so much fun girl.
Rememberin' all of our childhood days, yeah.
We had our fun in so many ways.
You know I would have loved you anyway.
It ain't just something I just had to say.
Don't let them tell you that you're not my kind.
Sally, Sally, Sally tell them you're mine, mine, mine.
Sally ... yeah,
Oh little Sally, I said I love you baby.
Sally, I said I love you baby.
Sally ... it's alright.
You know I would have loved you anyway.
It ain't just something I just had to say.
Don't let them tell you that you're not my kind.
Sally, Sally, Sally tell them you're mine, mine, mine.
Oh little Sally, you know I love you baby.
Sally, I love you baby.
Sally ... it's alright, it's alright.
It's alright.
Oh little Sally, you know I love you baby.
Sally ...
Sally ... it's alright, it's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright. |

I Fell For Your Love
Hey Baby so now you're goin', is your mind relieved?
Did you get what you wanted and have some fun playin' make believe?
I have never lost so much pleasure, so it's hard to be nice.
Hey Baby feel my hand, ain't it cold as ice?
CHORUS
'Cause I fell for your love, when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love, and now you tell me it's time.
To kiss it away, to stand here and say, good-bye.
Can't you understand the way I live?
Half a love is all that I can give.
Lonely ladies and empty faces for a long long time.
And you might be one baby when we meet again and I'll still try to make you
mine.
CHORUS
I fell for your love when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love when love was so hard to find.
I gave you my heart and now you tell me it's time,
To give up my love when it's so damn hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
I'm so lonely baby.
Love is so hard to find.
Them empty faces, all I wanted was you.
Love is so hard to find.
I gave you my heart and now you tell me it's time,
Love is so hard to find.
To stand and say good-bye.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
When it's so damn hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
I fell for your love when I was out of my mind.

Talk To The People
CHORUS
Talk to the people, but they just don't listen, no.
Talk to the people, but they just don't listen.
Talk to the people, but they just don't listen, no.
Talk to the people ...
Why won't they listen to rhyme or reason?
Please won't you give us just one more chance to get through?
You ain't right if you might think we're preachin'.
We see their faces and we're just tryin' to reach them.
When we ...
CHORUS
Why won't they listen to what we're sayin'?
Please won't you help us, it's way past time that you do?
Your future's dyin' right before your faces.
The Lord above will put us all in our places.
When we ...
CHORUS
But they just don't listen, no.
CHORUS
But they just don't listen, no.
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo |
Take Me
Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me ...
Oh ...
CHORUS
Come on, take me, take me, and make me feel your music.
Wanna get in deep when it tastes so sweet,
Wanna lose my head tonight.
Come on, take me, take me, make me feel your music.
Well we ain't gonna stop if we're feelin' hot,
Gotta' lose our heads tonight.
How many times I tried to make it happen?
But you always find a way to say good-night.
Tonight we're here alone, your mama's out, there's nobody home,
I'm a harmless kinda crazy so it's alright.
CHORUS
I've seen you give me looks that I've read about in books,
And I finally had to make you play your hand.
There's a reason that you're here, and I think it's perfectly clear.
But it don't take much to make me understand.
Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me, come make love, make love with me.
Oh ...

Love Is Dyin'
You say that this is the end,
And I feel the knife cut off my right hand.
You may not care right now,
But if it's over, it's done and I won't turn around.
Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.
You oughta know me better than that,
I really love you if that's where it's at.
I really love you but I won't be back,
Oh how I love you, I love you but I won't be back.
A dreamer of dreamers I have always been,
And this time there won't be no givin' in.
Chances are we could change our minds,
But I don't think I can make it another time.
Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.
You oughta know me better than that,
I really love you if that's where it's at.
I really love you but I won't be back,
Oh how I love you, I love you but I won't be back.
Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.
I really love you if that's where it's at.
I really love you but I won't be back,
Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'. |
Politician
CHORUS
Mr. Politician please don't deceive us.
Mr. Politician you're there to relieve us.
Just how can we tell, mister,
When to believe in you.
Oh won't you tell me oh who we're lookin' out for?
Mr. Politician could be perfect but people it's doubtful.
We want a leader who'll fight for the people.
We want somebody to take us to the steeple.
We'd like to point him out to you people,
But don't look now.
CHORUS
We want a leader of the people,
We want him honest, not deceitful.
We want an angel in the public eye,
And we won't give it up lord until we die.

Good Things
Oh I don't know now baby, just what it is you got.
But whatever it is now babe, I sure do like it a lot.
I like all the good things you gave me, baby late last night.
I like the things you been givin' me, oh mama now you're treatin' me right,

CHORUS
Good things, good things, my baby's been treatin' me right.
Good things, good things happen to me every night.
Come a little bit closer baby, and rub off some of your stuff.
Until I holler and scream now baby, I just ain't had it enough.
Ain't had enough of the good things you gave me, baby late last night.
Ain't had enough of what you're givin' me, oh mama now you're treatin' me right,
yeah.
