Hello, hello, hello Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?
Come on, come on down, I hear you’re feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again.
Relax, relax, relax I need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
When I was a child, I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I’ve got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
[guitar solo]
I have become comfortably numb.
OK, OK, OK Just a little pin prick. There’ll be no more, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up, stand up, stand up. I do believe it's working good. That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on, it’s time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look, but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child has grown, the dream is gone.
Wanna tell you a story, About the house-man blues I come home one Friday, Had to tell the landlady I'd-a lost my job She said that don't confront me, Long as I get my money next Friday Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent, And out the door I went
So I goes to the landlady, I said, "You let me slide?" I'll have the rent for you in a month. Next I don't know So said let me slide it on you know people, I notice when I come home in the evening She ain't got nothing nice to say to me, But for five year she was so nice Loh' she was lovy-dovy, I come home one particular evening The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?", I said, "No, can't find no job" Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent She said "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job" Said "I seen you today you was standin' on a corner, Leaning up against a post" I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day" She said "That don't confront me, Long as I get my money next Friday" Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent, And out the door I went
So I go down the streets, Down to my good friend's house I said "Look man I'm outdoors you know, Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?" He said "Let me go and ask my wife" He come out of the house, I could see it in his face I know that was no He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know" I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too" So I go back home I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent She said "Yeah?" I said "Oh yeah" And then she was so nice, Loh' she was lovy-dovy So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go, I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent, She ain't gonna get none of it So I stop in the local bar you know people, I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there So what you want?
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when, I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose, Need me a triple shot of that juice Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
But I'm sitting now at the bar, I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer Looked down the bar, here come the bartender I said "Look man, come down here" So what you want?
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last, Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed Gonna get high man I ain't had enough, Need me a triple shot of that stuff Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here, I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Now by this time I'm plenty high, You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high Looked down the bar I say to my bartender I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there So what you want this time? I said "Look man, a-what time is it?" He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock Last call for alcohol, so what you need?"
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week, Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak Gonna get high man listen to me, One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear, I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Artist: The Youngbloods Lyrics Song: Get Together Lyrics
Love is but the song we sing, And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Know the dove is on the wing And you need not know why C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now Some will come and some will go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moments sunlight Fading in the grass C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now If you hear the song I sing, You must understand You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now Right now Right now!
Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die Rag (Next Stop Vietnam)Country Joe & the Fish
Come on all of you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again he's got himself in a terrible jam way down yonder in Viet Nam so put down your books and pick up a gun we're gonna have a whole lotta fun
(CHORUS) And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die
Come on generals, let's move fast your big chance has come at last now you can go out and get those reds cos the only good commie is the one that's dead and you know that peace can only be won when we've blown 'em all to kingdom come
Come on wall street don't be slow why man this war is a go-go there's plenty good money to be made by supplying the army with the tools of its trade let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Viet Cong
Come on mothers throughout the land pack your boys off to Viet Nam come on fathers don't hesitate send your sons off before it's too late and you can be the first ones on your block to have your boy come home in a box
There's something happening here What it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking their minds Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, hey, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, now, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down Stop, children, what's that sound Everybody look what's going down

I Hate Wal-Mart
by Dave Lippman
I've always hated Blockbuster Starbucks, not quite so much If I'm not boycotting at least 3 oil companies I start to feel out of touch I wouldn't be seen near Nordstrom's or any such And I hate Wal-Mart
I don't like whips, I don't like chains I don't go choppin up my neighbors' brains Don't really even like shopping except at the Flea Mart And I hate Wal-Mart
Now you may wonder, why all this fuss If you don't like the plane, take the bus Well I've found religion, and just between us I hate Wal-Mart
If you didn't hear the story, here's how it is Big company sells below cost Drive mom and pop out of biz Pretty soon all over the land One big square store, identical brand And that's why I hate Wal-Mart
Used to be you could drive around Stop in at three or four towns Encounter different sights and sounds Different if not unique Different accent, different smell Different things to buy and sell Now it's all Taco Bell I hate Wal-Mart
Roads used to dip and wind You drive slow, relax your mind Never knew what you'd find Round the next bend Now the freeway goes so straight It'd go right past the Pearly Gate I don't feel human, I feel like freight I hate Wal-Mart
I like to roam, I like to greet Individuals on the street You always know the one you meet is One of a kind But more and more they seem to be Reflections of something on TV When we're all alike, nobody's free I hate Wal-Mart
I boycott Burger King I boycott Newt Gingrich I boycott everything which I've seen advertised
I used to go out to dinner in a diner Now they say fast food is finer But it tastes like fell out of an airliner It's enough to make you weep
I don't like board games I don't like brand names They make inflated claims They're full of bleep Everyone I meet is a high-tech dealer Wants to sell me a digital potato peeler And I don't like Garrison Keillor cause He's so white
Turn on my radio dial Like to hear something new once in a while But it's the same old crap in a brand new style It's audio rape Still I try to pick and choose Turn the dial but I always lose They only play the worst rock and roll And once in a while one little rhythm and blues And that's why God made tape
Used to be we wore beads and bells Sewed our own clothes in our own way Now we all wear uniforms that say Hard Rock Cafe We're in a state of sartorial decay That's why I hate Wal-Mart
If there's a pretty spot they'll pave it over Put a cloverleaf over a four-leaf clover Black paint on the White Cliffs of Dover It never fails Hope you like this song, thanks a bunch I could go on, but I gotta go eat lunch If you didn't like it, I've got a hunch You work in sales
So grow your own, make your own Be careful what you own Develop non-shopping to an art And whatever you do Don't shop at Wal-Mart
