HEARD IT ON THE RADIO
I heard it on the radio read it in the papers
the never-ending threat of war has finally come to take us
so come on man be a war hero and join the military
fight for your country and you will be a stone at the cemetary

I get out in the evening and feel the atmosphere
I've got an old coat on my shoulders and in my head the last nights beer
I don't know where I'm going and I don't know what I feel
a strange cold touch a whisper in the wind the devils givin' me a deal

I heard it on the radio...

And after a while when I calmed myself down I took a ride in my car
as the dashboard light kept shining in my face I wished upon a star
Take me out in the open air take me out in space
I want a one way ticket to anywhere I want to leave this crazy race

I heard it on the radio...

I WAS A HOMEMAN
I  was like a homeman but now I'm a rolling stone
I was like a priest but now I'm bad to the bone
I had a job but now I'm unemployed
I had a future but now it's all destroyed

See the factory gates are closing, see the people leave their jobs
they are going to their families, going to the ones they love
I don't wanna be like them don't wanna work 9 to 5
I want to get out iin the morning light not being chased by any times

and every single day when I've been out in the streets
I come back to my place 'n drop to my knees
then I cross my fingers and pray to my Lord
to save this soul from getting old and being bored

once there was a child
and this child
was never ment to be like me

I was a homeman but now...
see the factory gates are closing, but now it's for the last time
see the people heading home but now there's trouble in their minds
then they tell me I'm a dreamer 'cause I say "what's gone's gone"
you just gonna find yourself another game the rest of your life has just begun
I don't wanna be tired of pleasin' my wife
I wanna give her my love and treat her real nice
and every single day I wanna look around
wanna see a million places before I'm buried in the ground



 

REAL ME
There's something inside me I just can't hide
There's something out ther I have to find
It's not thing about sex drugs and rock 'n roll
It's not a thing about the power of love

It's the real me the one I pretend to be
The one I hope someday will see
I'm not praying for forgivness for the times that have last
but I hope in the future I'll make up with my past

I got out of this darkness and into the light
got to find my way back even if I'll have to fight
It's not a fight for honor it's a fight to see
to see and my way back to harmony

INDIAN SONG
I know and you that we're about to see
the darkest days since the years have gone and they took away
our peace

Tried so hard to realise that my tribe is all gone
but I cry and I try to sing this old Indian song

I know and you know that our tribe has lost the war
but the roughest pain is that our lives is now against the law

Tried so hard to take my life but soul is still strong
so I cry and I try to sing this old Indian song

With their cannons and their guns they tried to make us obey
an all across the land they didn't want us to stay

MY LIFE
My life, my life, where's the road I walked upon
My life, my life, the one I lost some years ago

I'm on the road to east L.A.
driven along time all across the U.S.A.
Seen the redwwods and the mountains high
in my Camaro and this old trunk by my side

My life, my life......

I had my dreams of being a football star
or a high-tech engineer with a fancy car, but now they  are far

Now I've seen these years go by
none of my dreams have come true so what more can I try
