What Do You Believe

What Do You Believe

What do you believe
Got a lot of people telling you what’s right
The pundits explaining how black is white
Left is sayin you got to think like me
Work together if we want to be free

Have you been told what to think with a nod and a wink
Tell me what do you think
Did you bother to ask why would they want to deceive
Tell me what do you believe

We were all put here for a reason
You got to work for what you believe in
Some want you to pay to keep em from dying
Want to get paid for not even tryin

Want everyone to hear their voice
Take yours from you without a choice
We weren’t born with a guarantee
Or a limit on what we can be
It’s up to us to use the time we have
To make every moment count
What do you believe

Got a lot of people telling you what’s right
The pundits explaining how black is white
Left is sayin you got to think like me
Work together if we want to be free

Have you been told what to think with a nod and a wink
Tell me what do you think
Did you bother to ask why would they want to deceive
Tell me what do you believe

We were all put here for a reason
You got to work for what you believe in
Some want you to pay to keep em from dying
Want to get paid for not even tryin
Want everyone to hear their voice
Take yours from you without a choice
We weren’t born with a guarantee
Or a limit on what we can be
It’s up to us to use the time we have
To make every moment count
What do you believe

Right There

I saw you in the corner over there
Your eyes caught mine as I stared
Your body seemed to call me near
My desire brought me right there

Right thereeeeeeeeeeee
My lips have kisses to spare
Right thereeeeeeeeeeee
I’m more than willing to share
Right thereeeeeeeeeee
Out of control I don’t care
Right thereeeeeeeeee
One more time do you dare?

You’d better beware
My love doesn’t compare
Don’t make me come over there!

There was a fire in your eyes
A desire you couldn’t disguise
Short skirt over your thighs
Your look was my demise

Right thereeeeeeeeeeee
My lips have kisses to spare
Right thereeeeeeeeeeee
I’m more than willing to share
Right thereeeeeeeeeee
Out of control I don’t care
Right thereeeeeeeeee
One more time do you dare?

I held you tight in my arms
You felt the rise of alarm
Knowing I’d do you no harm
Gave yourself to my warmth

Right thereeeeeeeeeeee
My lips have kisses to spare
Right thereeeeeeeeeeee
I’m more than willing to share
Right thereeeeeeeeeee
Out of control I don’t care
Right thereeeeeeeeee
One more time do you dare?

Legalize Freedom!

The world’s going crazy don’t know what to do
That day is coming when the man comes for you
Can’t travel freely unless you’re undressed
They’ll frisk your children and leave you a mess

Legalize freedom that’s what’s to be done
Legalize freedom for ever-y-one
Legalize freedom for me and for you
Legalize freedom that’s the least we can do

Who you can marry is for them to choose
Would it be that hard if they were in your shoes
It doesn’t pick my pocket or break my leg
If you’re a square hole that likes a round peg

Legalize freedom with less government
Legalize freedom with the people’s consent
Legalize freedom because that is our fate
We”ve got to legalize freedom before it’s too late!

To be a good citizen you have to have prove
Your health is covered you’re eating the right food
Can’t make too much because it’s just not fair
Bend over please, you’re hiding something up there.

Legalize freedom it’s not just a phrase
Legalize freedom it’s all the rage
Legalize freedom don’t stop till it’s done
Legalize freedom then let’s have some fun!

They’re passin laws that nobody’s read
To see what’s in it is what she said
Written by corp-or-ations with cash
That paid for access to take your stash

Legalize freedom this behavior’s insane
Legalize freedom put a stop to this reign
Legalize freedom make the people king
Legalize freedom and let freedom ring!

They’re spending money that we don’t have
Then printing more when those loans go bad
The taxpayer’s pockets are a bottomless pit
What they don’t take from you they’ll take from your kids

Legalize freedom I can’t take anymore
Legalize freedom show these bums the door
Legalize freedom take our country back
Legalize freedom let’s fire these hacks!

They tell us what to eat, do, and say
It’s for our own good we follow their way
If we’re lucky they might throw us a bone
When all that we want is to be left alone!

Legalize freedom enough is enough
Legalize freedom no more of your stuff
Legalize freedom or we’ll make you pay
Legalize freedom cause we like it that way!

Promises, Promises

Promises, Promises



When I met you baby

I promised to make you mine

I promised I’d be there for you

Whenever you needed my time

And to this day that promise

Was one that I held to

I was hoping that my promise

Would keep me near to you



Promises promises,

We all make them that’s true

But the promise of my promise

Was my way of loving you



We became much closer

Our intent was on display

We were a committed couple

Together every day

You told me that you loved me

You promised you would stay

Our future was looking brighter

Getting better every day



Promises, promises,

We all make them that’s true

But the promise of your promise

Would only make me blue



Chorus:

A promise can be given

A Promise can be kept

A promise can be broken

A Promsie can be wept



A promise can be made

A promise can be implied

Your promise of our future

Was a promise denied



Promises, promises

You promised to be true

But the promise of your promise

Would only make me blue



Now little did I know

There was trouble up ahead

You found another lover

Someone you’d rather love instead

You didn’t think about the promise

To always be true to me

You only thought about the promise

Of what another could be



Promises, can be real

And then maybe not

When you promised me forever

I guess you just forgot



Promises, promises

You promised to be true

But the promise of your promise

Would only make me blue

Better Days

Better Days

Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Before I met you baby, things were going bad.
The banks were out of money, and holdin out their hands.
The man said we had to save them, or else we’d go to hell.
That’s when the trouble started, and folks began to yell!
Then things for me, went from bad to worse.
Only your love could save me, from this economic curse!

That’s why Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

We managed to get past that mess, escaped that ugly scene.
When the man said, as people, we’ve been awful mean.
He said there were folks out there that didn’t have the wealth,
To buy insurance, and maintain their good health!
I lost my job after that when the boss couldn’t pay.
If I could eat insurance, I’d be better off today!

Still, Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Now I’m waiting, for that other shoe to drop.
It seems what we exhale, has to be stopped.
We’re polluting the planet, the Earth is getting hot.
The only way to fix it, is to buy windmills in Iraq!
If I didn’t know better, I’d think it’s all a plot.
Another way to take our paycheck and send it to Bangkok!

But, Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Chorus:
There’s always something else, that will bring you down.
Another way to take your money, by some other elected clown.
Or some gold diggin woman, that will play with your heart,
And a drunk in the bar, that’s inchin to start!

Now all that’s behind me, I’m ready for change.
You’ve given me hope, now my life’s rearranged.
I can’t get a job, but who needs one anyway.
Cause I got this guitar, that I’m willing to play!
I’ll sing songs about you, and how you changed my world.
And how you’ve made my days better, now that you’re my girl!

That’s why Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Prisoner Of Desire

Prisoner

I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

And once that match is struck,

There's no putting out that fire!


My woman is fine, so fine

She has everything a man could ever need

And when I'm with my baby,

She knows how to make my heart plead

But when I'm all alone, my eyes begin to roam

And passion takes a hold of me!


I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

And once that match is struck,

There's no putting out that fire!


It doesn't matter what I do.

It doesn't matter what I say.

No matter where I am.

I'm a captive anyway.

All it takes is just one look, prosecution throws the book,

My urges have me locked away!


I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

And once that match is struck,

There's no putting out that fire!


There is nowhere to escape.

There is no way to get away.

Lust is always on my mind,

Has me trapped and kept at bay.

This jailer with a figure holds me in this rapture,

I'm a captor as well as prey!


I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

I'm a prisoner! I'm a prisoner of desire!

And once that match is struck,

There's no putting out that fire!

Mirage

Mirage


Our love is just a mirage

I can see it but there's nothing there

Why then do I keep on fallin

For these one sided love affairs



Ours was a whirlwind courtship always together having fun

Sharing lots of drinks and laughs, always on the run

It was there on the dance floor as I held you tight

I gazed into your eyes and saw your love light

We were getting closer at least that’s what I thought

But, I was a placeholder, for another whom you sought.



From far away I see the fire

But when I’m close I can’t feel the heat

You’re the object of my desire

But it seems you have cold feet



Like a man in a dessert, dying of thirst

Reaches out for water, and grabs nothing but dirt

The love in your eyes I see, is not really there

Cause when I get closer, it just disappears

You’re a cool drink of water, and I really need a drink

But your love is just an illusion, gone with just a blink



Our love is just a mirage

You can see it but there's nothing there

Why then do I keep on fallin

For these one sided love affairs



When you think somebody loves you

And you want to believe that they do –

You ignore all the signs, that tell you they're untrue.

You give into your passion, as you feel you must

Then suddenly you’re wondering

Is this love or is this lust?



From far away I see the fire

But when I’m close I can’t feel the heat

You’re the object of my desire

But it seems you have cold feet



If you stand too close to fire, you know you will get burned

Can you feel my desire, or haven’t I yet learned

That your love is just an illusion, to be seen and not felt

A cold apparition, even my fire can not melt

That cold heart of yours, remains hidden from my view

Disguised by a ghostly love, of a woman who’s untrue



Our love is just a mirage

You can see it but there's nothing there

Why then do I keep on fallin

For these one sided love affairs
