Find My Way Home And when The Byrds are about to sing That’s when the telephone will ring The leaves have turned your favorite brown We’ll watch them fall to the ground Find my way home I’ve got to find my way home I need to find my way home It’s time to find my way home And when the sky is full of stars That’s when the dreams are far And when the air chills to the bone It’s good to know we’re not alone Find my way home I’ve got to find my way home I need to find my way home It’s time to find my way home And when you wear my sweater home That’s when I’ll wish I’d known I didn’t even have a pen We might not meet again

Black Light 03:48
Black Light Linda was nobody’s fool She knew just what she wanted She liked to feel she was her own boss She said “if you got it you should flaunt it” Living alone now but never lonely She had a lot of plastic cards and shoes Taking it day by day now Nothing ventured nothing gained Black light sets the scene Living on a stage Television dream Money and power With the weather getting warmer Linda works had on her tan She wears the latest in bikinis She gets a gig close to the sand Now she’s waiting every day now Looking for the perfect man There’s a picture it looks just like him On a billboard in Toronto Black light sets the scene Living on a stage Television dream Money and power Alright gentlemen pedal to the metal Next up on stage All the way from upstairs Our finest new dancer Get ready for a taste of Candy Black light sets the scene Living on a stage Television dream Money and power

Let’s Move On Well when I see all the trouble in the world You know it makes me try to get along the best I can And when I hear all the problems of the world you know I realize that we need to understand That it’s time to move on And rewrite history We don’t need world war three So let’s move on Well when I hear you say there’s nothing in your life To make you want to try to make the world a better place That’s when I see that there’s so much that we want We may never have likely don’t need anyway Well it’s time to move on And rewrite history There won’t be world war three So let’s move on Good news happens all the time Bad news is rare So if it bleeds it leads Front page and on the air Well when I see all the trouble in the world You know it makes me try to get along the best I can And when I see all the problems of the world You know I realize that we need to understand So let’s move on time to move on Yeah let’s move on time to move on

Live The Good Life What were you thinking? As you sped off out of control What did you rake in? After you set the fire Now have to hold the line Cause we live the good life I’m sure she’ll let us know In her hour of need We reap just what we sow Just need to plant the seeds Sure it’s cold sometimes But we live the good life What were you drinkin’? When you gambled the lot The ship was sinkin’ It’s main street that will lose Now have to hold the line Sure it’s cold sometimes Now we have to hold the line Cause we live the good life Live the good life Live the good life

She’s, she’s got me now Yeah she’s, she’s got me now Never before has anyone Been this way before If you could dance with her once There would be no doubt If you could dance with her once You’d be down for the count She’s, she’s got control Yeah she’s, she’s got the controls She’s taking a chance Moving across the floor Yeah she’s taking a chance on love You can do it, get down to it She’s got your number now She’s, she’s got it all Yeah she’s, she’s got it all All of the goods Just like she should You would if you could, yes you would If you would dance with her once She’s what it’s all about Yeah you should dance with her once You’d be ready to shout If you could dance with her once There would be no doubt If you could dance with her once You’d be down for the count

Come Out From The River Somewhere along the journey She lost the sense of a respect for life The path has been sketchy and broken Handled problems with a knife Power isn’t in hurting a person Control isn’t committing these crimes Taken to her darkest places Thinks that nobody cares is she dies Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you Come out from the river It’s not something supposed to happen You never expect to lose the young The wrong place at the destined time Everyone said her life had just begun Never knew she’d be the victim Tried to fit in but didn’t fight She had friends except for one That one journey ended on that night Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you Come out from the river, and carry on the rest of the way She is finally free She doesn’t have to run Beyond this life Her spirit carries on Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you Come out from the river, and we’ll have love the rest of the way Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you Come out from the river, your heart will shine the rest of the way Come out from the river Come out from the river

Help Wanted 03:00
Help Wanted Hotels are full and that’s their luck Everyone’s happy to make a buck Fifty inch screen and a brand new truck Help wanted we’ve come to cash in Help wanted getting rich ain’t a sin Help wanted but we might do the planet in The locals learn to look past the wells Beyond the lakes of toxic spills Wondering why their leader’s asleep at the wheel? Help wanted we’ve come to cash in Help wanted getting rich ain’t a sin Help wanted but we’re not making many friends Pounding the soil both night and day And when it’s all gone we’ll be on our way Help wanted big money always wins Help wanted seems how it’s always been Help wanted but we’re not making many friends Help wanted we’ve come to cash in Help wanted getting rich ain’t a sin Help wanted but we might do the planet in

Make More Money It’s not religion to be rolling in green But we all need it just to get away clean It’s necessary if you’re under the gun Do I need everything that’s under the sun? Make more money money come on Make more money money alright Make more money money come on Make more money money oh yeah let’s go With or without it we can lose all touch With love and nature, magic and such What’s good for you may not be what it’s about There’s stuff we want so we just have to shout It all sounds fine To use the power of will Until I get the mail and open the bills Yeah it sounds fine Three jobs just ain’t enough for this kind of life How much do we need to get us by? Some people tell me we just need love and faith Not let it get us down and give in to hate My guru’s ravin’ on and on at great length The bank he draws from is inner strength Make more money

All The Time In The World It seems we never get enough Of what we don’t really want But can we see the beauty? We want to own the world We want to possess the world While looking for substitutes We need to see the beauty Sustainable fashion Don’t wait, get involved Change the world The earth has all the time in the world The earth has all the time in the world The earth has all the time in the world And we don’t On whose side are you on? Out there behind the wheel Trying to stay between the lines With all that’s at stake We need to know the truth The earth has all the time in the world The earth has all the time in the world The earth has all the time in the world And we don’t

Price I Pay 02:20
Price I Pay I gotta drive on the road and smell all the cars I gotta check all the news to see if life is on mars I gotta get up early and stay up late I gotta do my yoga and meditate But that’s the price I pay for freedom Yeah that’s the price I pay To be free I gotta eat organic and refine my tastes I gotta text my wife because I’m runnin’ late I gotta work all day and hope for more I gotta make some popcorn and watch Al Gore But that’s the price I pay For freedom Yeah that’s the price I pay To be free I gotta workout weigh-in get ripped and buff I gotta have no sense when enough is enough I gotta go to the movies graffiti the wall I gotta buy on line and go hang out at the mall But that’s the price I pay For freedom Yeah that’s the price I pay To be free
