CATCH
 download MP3
Catch me if and when I fall
don't leave me lying in the hall
Give me back my eyes to see
try and talk some words to me
Look at me if you can
I'm someone though just a man
I have a heart and it can break
I can give if you can take
Hear me now when I speak
words too strong for the weak
believe me now if you will
try on my lies and then lie still
As a guest in my own home
I wander lost and all alone
as a ghost in my own life
I close my eyes and turn out the lights
in my life I had my dreams
dreams so real or so they seemed
when I awoke they disappeared
now they don't seem so clear
DREAMS
download MP3
We were warned of what to expect
and still we wandered
what came on next
Turn the channel
adjust the color
wait till commercial
where's what shelter
When buildings dance
like trees in the wind
and cars fly by
like kites in the sky
when the end
seems about to begin
when it becomes clear
to quick too cry
No time to wonder
nothing to be said
no one to honor
the quick and the dead
when Christ comes
down from the cross
no more counting
profit and loss
when sleeping stops
and the TV goes black
when death drops
there's no way back
CHORUS
If you believe
dreams can come true
you better wake up
cause nightmares can to
someone thought the unthinkable
and took a chance
accepted the unacceptable
irrevocable
death dance
inevitable
death dance
Oh the light
and the roar
too fast for fright
to close the door
winds of hell
winds of war
melting flesh
open sores
Oh the light
and the roar
getting sick
and sick some more
pray for death
pain no more
remember tomorrow -
nevermore
CHORUS
THEY COME IN THE NIGHT
download MP3
They come in the night
they have the right
to take you away
They come in the dark
they leave their mark
on the door
They come in the day
they have their ways
and methods
CHORUS
And now....
now is the time to go to war again
And now.....
now is the time to kill the poor again
Rivers run red
with blood
of poets
and peasants
killed by bullets
bought by people
watching
Dallas reruns
They come in the morning
without any warning
or justification
They come at all hours
they have the power
to do what they want
They come with guns
there's nowhere to run
or to hide
They come for your brother
or your mother
or even you
They come any time
without any rhyme
or reason
CHORUS
TOUCH
download MP3
I'll talk to you
if you'll talk to me
we'll have a conversation
evidently
I'll dance with you
if you'll dance with me
we can dance all night
or at least till three
Your not he one
I've been waiting for
and I'm not the one
you've been dreaming of
but what we've got
feels oh so good
and I think I'm in love
I'll look at you
if you'll look at me
we might open our eyes
and even see
I'll touch you
f you'll touch me
we can hold hands
eventually
I'll kiss you
if you'll kiss me
we'll make love
passionately
Your not always
in the best of moods
and I'm not always on time
but when we're together
and it feels so fine
I'll kiss you
if you'll kiss me
we'll make love
passionately
I'll love you
if you'll love me
we'll love each other
eternally

VOICE OF GOD
download MP3
A radio station
the voice of god
a heathen nation
in need of law
Crusades for conversion
malignant mission
King james version
subject submission
Babylon babbling babeling on
where oh where
have your little sheep gone
Suffer the little children
unto the lord of laws
careful you don't kill them
nail them to the cross
CHORUS
You threw the moneymakers
out ofthe house of the lord
you healed the sick and
helped the poor
you spoke of peace
and ending all war
you showed the way to the garden
and opened the door
Crusading Christians
doing good deeds
try and resist them
defy their creed
They've got secret armies
and secret weapons
they'll burn your books
if you let them
wandering wondering
what went wrong
how far have
your little sheep gone
CHORUS
There are money makers
in the house of the lord
who spit on the sick
and steal from the poor
they speak of peace
by preparing for war
they don't want to hear of a garden
they close the door
condemn the unbelieving
it's never too late
worship the lord of love
and practice hate
In the name of the prince of peace
declare your holy war
Atheist essence of evil
even the score
IMPULSE ITEMS
download MP3
We were impulse items
in love for a while
we learned to forget
to forget how to smile
Alone in a room
beside ourselves
life in a tomb
it's that or else
wishful thinking
wages of fear
eyes front
no one comes near
CHORUS
You don't have to go
to look very far
to find men who worry
if they are
you don't have to go
to look very close
to find women worrying
about their clothes
All we need
is to need
all we need
is to need
all we need
We were impulse items
in a world of wonder
we forgot how to love
to love one another
And your free
and so am I
to do as we please
or at least to try
damned if we do
and damned if we don't
some will try to
and some won't
CHORUS
You don't have to go
to look very deep
to find kids crying
in their sleep
You don't have to go
to look very long
to find someone wondering
what went wrong
Don't discuss
it so much
Don't make a fuss keep in touch
Call and response
multiple choice
fulfill your wants
bestill your voice
SPEAK NO EVIL
download MP3
If you care about your country
don't be quick to criticize
the failings of our leader
and please close your eyes
If you care about your country
forgive and forget
learn to look the other way
you ain't seen nothin' yet
Who is the enemy
where are we the people
what are the right questions
hear no see no speak no evil
CHORUS
Disseminating undocumented information
Incriminating evidence condemns nations
write white papers
to justify actions
defending our interest
back the right factions
If a nations expects to be
ignorant and free
it expects what never was
and never will be
If you care about your country
don't be quick to criticize
our leader's special helpers
and their little bitty lies
Ghosts in the basement
pulling the puppets' strings
giving advice and consent
among many other things
CHORUS
Mind management incorporate
instinctive ingestion
kind instransigent words for it
succinct suggestion
Please don't question our motives
means to an end
sure they're murderers
but they're our friends
going through the motions
cause and effect
death devotions
in retrospect
TIN SOLDIERS

Ten tin soldiers
waiting in line
tough and tested
and the there were nine
Nine tin soldiers
don't have to wait
someone suggested
and then there were eight
Eight tin soldier
believing in heaven
prayed real hard
and then there were seven
Medivac medivac
please come soon
take me back take me back
please have room
Seven tin soldiers
taught all the tricks
caught in a crossfire
and then there were six
Six tin soldiers
with no place to hide
from the in coming
and now there are five
CHORUS
I feel warm blood
in my palm
it's real my blood
I am calm
it flows - I hope
I feel no pain
I know - I hope
it's not in vain
Five tin soldiers
there's not many more
got in a firefight
and now there are four
Four tin soldiers
and it's too dark to see
snagged a tripwire
and then there were three
Three tin soldiers
brave and true
and then they got mortared
and then there were two
CHORUS
Will you die for your country
or for good or evil?
Will you die for the movies
will there be a sequel?
Unwarranted action
provockeing destruction
men killing men
fulfilling their function
The kiss of death for a piece of pride
saddle up, saddle up
saddle up and ride
Two tin soldiers
started to run
when a sniper got lucky
and then there was one
One tin soldier
threw down his gun
walked all the way home
and then there were none
CHORUS
See to the end of the story
run to the end of that road
forget the guts and glory
the pain you'll never know
