Dreaming For Africa

 

Dreaming For Africa

 

Listen brothers listen sisters hear this song

Our land is calling we need to be strong

On the winds can’t you hear the call?

It is calling you it is calling us all

 

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

I am dreaming for Africa – get up

I am dreaming for Africa – stand up

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

 

Get off your knees praying time is done

It is time to arise for we shall overcome

There is a mighty victory that must be won

The solution of revolution it has begun

 

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

I am dreaming for Africa – get up

I am dreaming for Africa – stand up

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

 

From north to south from east to west

We are one people and this is our test

Will you be slaves and play the fool?

No pity for our masters they’re wicked and cruel

 

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

I am dreaming for Africa – get up

I am dreaming for Africa – stand up

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

 

Victory I can feel the surging of the power

Victory man it is real now is our hour

Sleeping giant it is the time to awake

Victory is there it is for us to take

 

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

I am dreaming for Africa – get up

I am dreaming for Africa – stand up

I am dreaming for Africa – wake up

Gravy Train

 

Gravy Train

 

                                                                           By Richard Wolffe and John Kaniecki

                                                  Copyright 2007

 

 

Chorus

Wooohoooooooo Wooohooooooo

Here comes the gravy train.

Racking your brain driving you insane,

Here comes the gravy train.

Wooohoooooooo Wooohooooooo

 

Coming down the tracks, full in all its racks

Here comes the Gravy Train.

Man I know I’m sane

And life ain’t in vain.

Here comes the gravy train.

Wooohoooooooo Wooohooooooo

 

I’ve got me that hunger

And I’m not getting any younger.

It’s just another day

And life will be okay

Let me explain.

Here comes the gravy train.

Wooohoooooooo Wooohooooooo

 

Chorus

Wooohoooooooo Wooohooooooo

Here comes the gravy train.

Racking your brain driving you insane,

Here comes the gravy train.

Wooohoooooooo Wooohooooooo

 

Its evening time, five-oh five

I’m happy to just be alive.

Where is that coming foretold?

My bones ache and I’m not old!

It’s five o’ five in the evening,

And I’m still believing.

I’m still believing,

Still believing,

Believing.

Here comes the gravy train.

Wooo Ooooh!

Psycho

Psycho

 

You can tell he’s gonna win

Cause there’s magic inside his grin

And though he holds no aces

He bluffs with different faces

While up his sleeve to ease the pain

Is a gram or two of good cocaine

For sure he’ll have a woman tonight

If she don’t put up too much of a fight

His name is John that we all know

But we like to call him Psycho

 

You could call him no good

Even perhaps a punk or a hood

But I say in all likelihood

Psycho is just misunderstood

 

Sure he was once my brother

I was amazed and fooled by his cover

But beyond the smile full of pride

I saw a small child hid deep inside

Oh yes he played the game oh so well

He never let on to his inner hell

Always laughing toking a joint

With fluid language, he proved his point

But he was so empty and hollow

He never cared about his tomorrow

Perhaps one day he’s gonna grow

But still we call him Psycho

 

You could call him no good

Even perhaps a punk or a hood

But I say in all likelihood

Psycho is just misunderstood

 

Psycho

Do you know

It’s true

I love you

We split apart

It hurt my heart

But I still say

We had a good day

Friends before

Perhaps pals once more

I can’t say though

Oh Psycho

 

I wonder if you have grown

Maybe you got kids of your own

I’d love to see you correct your child

When you were once so crazy and wild

Will you play the part of the hypocrite?

Or are you gonna break down and explain it?

And if they ask and they want to know

Will you say that you were once Psycho

 

You could call him no good

Even perhaps a punk or a hood

But I say in all likelihood

Psycho is just misunderstood

We Too Are The USA

 

We Too Are The USA

 

I walk down Wall Street I see the golden calf

The upper one percent ain’t the better half

If you want to see America there is more

We hate all the fighting and embrace the poor

 

There’s something I need to say

We too are the USA

Don’t let the war mongers have the day

We too are the USA

With folded hands we pray

We too are the USA

 

We’re farmers working the land with honest hands

We’re the Natives existing in ragtag bands

There is love in our heart and peace in our soul

Hear our cry we defy evil seeking control

 

There’s something I need to say

We too are the USA

Don’t let the war mongers have the day

We too are the USA

With folded hands we pray

We too are the USA

 

Sister brother father mother

Everybody love one another

United we stand divided we fall

Come down and answer the call

There’s something I need to say

We too are the USA

 

No matter what’s behind the future is ours

There is a heaven of love beyond the stars

We have come to serve to lift up those in need

We strive to be true in every word and deed

 

There’s something I need to say

We too are the USA

Don’t let the war mongers have the day

We too are the USA

With folded hands we pray

We too are the USA

Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

Piggy, Piggy, Piggy

 

Piggy, piggy, piggy nice and fat

Fine overcoat a black top hat

Goes to the theatre looking so fine

See the whole farm wish it was mine

 

Piggy, piggy, piggy eats his feed

Gobbles on up more than he does need

Only thinks about fat number one

Won’t be nothing left when he’s done

 

Piggy, piggy, piggy wants some more

Got a wife, a mistress and a whore

It is very hard to fill the cup

When you can’t keep the gosh darn thing up

 

Piggy, piggy, piggy has no friend

People are just a means to an end

Darkness lives inside of his black soul

His only dream is complete control

 

Piggy, piggy, piggy speaks with lies

Never tells the truth, he never tries

Changes his story to fit the times

Never admits to his evil crimes

 

Piggy, piggy, piggy slaughter day

So much evil now it’s time to pay

Piggy, piggy, piggy time to stop

You’ll really make a nice pork chop

Firewind Anthem

 

Firewind Anthem

 

This is the ballad of the Firewind band

We’re revolting against central command

This is the ballad of the Firewind band

We are the musicians rocking the land

Everybody come lend us your hand

It’s about time to make our final stand

We rebel against the powers that be

Against a government too blind to see

 

Come laughter or sorrow

We are force tomorrow

We’re going to rock your soul

If you still got a soul

 

This is our anthem the Firewind song

We resolve that hatred and killing is wrong

This is our anthem the Firewind song

If you stand for peace and Love you belong

We’re going to be marching in the street

We’re gonna give the powers that be some heat

Lay down your weapons and join with us

Pick up your cross as we follow Jesus

 

Come laughter or sorrow

We are force tomorrow

We’re going to rock your soul

If you still got a soul

 

This is our glorious Firewind tune

The final fight for freedom’s coming soon

This is our glorious Firewind tune

It’s close to Armageddon near high noon

The people in charge says nothings wrong

But I say the horror has gone on too long

Lay down your weapons lay them down tonight

Peace and Love are the tools with which we fight

 

Come laughter or sorrow

We are force tomorrow

We’re going to rock your soul

If you still got a soul
