Silent Cries

Silent Cries

 

The story of King Leopold is being retold

They barter innocent souls for the price of gold

And don’t you know it’s the same as yesterday

The powers that be simply look away

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

As long as they get their money let the people be damned

They’re raping the women while stealing the land

For the wealth in the ground the armies are here

Forces of terror they deal the devil’s fear

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

From the history of man the lessons are learned

As a human being you should be concerned

When your brother perishes in genocide

For the love of God you must choose a side

 

What would you do if it happened to you?

Tomorrow the nightmare could come true

The holocaust it never comes to an end

Until we embrace all humanity as friend

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

The river flows red from the blood of the slain

Greed is the evil deed that drives man insane

We must stop the tide peace can’t be denied

In Congo once more the pure are crucified

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh why don’t you answer our silent cries?

Fourth World Nation

Fourth World Nation

 

Your history but lies your natural tongue

Fiery hornets from hell how you stung

Columbus got lost now we’re counting the cost

Nobody nowhere you have a heart of frost

 

We are the remnant no salvation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Confined to our barren reservation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

 

The wages of sin who understands

An unholy holocaust by your righteous hands

You have your Bible but you refuse to obey

We’ll have our time before Judgment Day

 

We are the remnant no salvation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Confined to our barren reservation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

 

On the winds hear our eternal cries

The voice of Crazy Horse never dies

Once the buffalo roamed with no number

Once the buffalo stampeded with thunder

 

In defiance of science what have you done

Wicked evil there’s nothing new under the sun

Paradise deformed to Babylon the Great

You shall be crushed by the weight of your own hate

 

We are the remnant no salvation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Confined to our barren reservation

In the land of plenty fourth world nation

Pacho The Outlaw Asset - From Bells And Whistles Thorns And Thistles

 Pacho The Outlaw Asset

 

South of the border

Law and disorder

Cruel the desert sands

Of Aztec lands

 

“WAR ON DRUGS”

A ludicrous running joke

Marijuana, heroin, coke

Big money,     

                 Big business,

Big Trouble

Pacho does a double

 

The bandito gets his pay

Straight from the D.E.A.

He is deemed safe

An agent of that state

As long as he passes a cut

God bless upward mobility

Everyone is happy

See the grin in the sin

Mafia is a harsh description

All is Official

Legally illegal

 

But Pacho walks another road

An enforcer with a ruthless code

Competition, endless ambition

Easy money?!!?

An oasis in a waste land of poverty

Murder is the proper tool

Murder is the proper rule

It’ll teach you the school

Mess with Pacho it ain’t cool

Mess with Pacho you the fool

All in the day

Of an asset of the C.I.A.

Bells And Whistles Thorns And Thistles

Blues Lady

 Blues Lady

 

I’m a blues lady this is my song

I’m a blues lady don’t get me wrong

Cleopatra she ain’t got nothing on me

I’m a blues lady and I’ll always be

 

I’m a blues lady this is my verse

Life could be better life could be worse

On the cross Jesus became a curse

I’m a blues lady this is my verse

 

I’m a blues lady these are my words

I’m a blues lady I will be heard

I’m a blues lady righteously proud

I’ll sing my song I’ll sing it loud

 

I cry with Moses set my people free

I cry with Black Elk for the lonesome Cherokee

I never stopped singing we shall overcome

I’m a blues lady I know where I’m from

I’m a blues lady of African birth

I’m a blues lady queen of the Earth

You stole my mother from the Promised Land

I’m a blues lady don’t you understand?

 

I’m a blues lady this is my song

I’m a blues lady don’t get me wrong

Cleopatra she ain’t got nothing on me

I’m a blues lady and I’ll always be

Long After the Gold Rush

 Long After the Gold Rush

 

Miracles beyond conception coming true

Fulfilling more then we ever knew

Inca Queen in glory, smiling in dance

God gave us a second chance

We came in rags and tatters

It is the heart that matters

Given more then we could conceive

Beyond blessing to believe

The clown in a permanent smile

And we laughed for a while

We were headed for a new home

And we rejoiced in style

We were headed for a new home

Something we have never known

 

I was sitting on a pure golden throne

The sun is the moon in disguise

I was coping hoping for demotion

When I understood reality is full of lies

There was an angel whispering in my ear

Heaven it was never so near

And my dream so crystal clear

I was thinking about what a friend had said

He was not a friend at all

I was thinking about what a friend had said

So many issues I could not recall

 

I thought on the days of our landing

How joy exalted our spirit so high

We thought we had understanding

And a love and wisdom none could deny

Life itself kissed us in romance

God gave us a second chance

We came in rags and tatters

It is the heart that matters

Given more then we could conceive

Beyond blessings to believe

And we cried for a while

Living in our brand new home

It was then we became aware

We couldn’t do it here if we didn’t do it there

Such sorrow had never been known

The tears washed the makeup off the clown’s face

We looked and it was not the look of grace

When can we really go home?

Is This The Way Its Supposed To Be?

 Is This The Way Its Supposed To Be?

 

Be a good citizen march in line

Dream of heaven mighty fine

Do as mommy and daddy say

You’ll understand one distant day

One day oh yes one day

 

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Is this hell or is it just me?

A slave in the land of the free

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

 

High schools full of rules

Get good grades avoid the fools

Go to college get a degree

Major in the art of agony

 

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Is this hell or is it just me?

A slave in the land of the free

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

 

There is a chemical imbalance inside your brain

Clinically practically you have gone insane

Never mind about the illogical disconnect

The lying hate of the state we must protect

 

Jesus Christ He is the Son of God

Crucified and slandered a fraud

Never mind the words that He said

We’ll tell you what to think instead

 

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Is this hell or is it just me?

A slave in the land of the free

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Joey

Joey

 

Joey sits at the store on Bloomfield Avenue

Life buzzes on by but he’s got a great view

It’s a hard world and we all gotta earn our pay

But dreaming is free so here’s to a better day

 

In life Joey wants five stars

A double bass with triple guitars

I’m on my way to a paying gig

I’m one break away from hitting it big

 

He writes his words down because hey you never know

We had humble starts before playing the show

Joey looks in the mirror and sees fantasy

Hey baby there ain’t no reason why that can’t be me

 

In life Joey wants five stars

A double bass with triple guitars

I’m on my way to a paying gig

I’m one break away from hitting it big

 

Life is a long and winding grind

Before you start you’re left behind

Ain’t nothing more precious than peace of mind

If you can see you realize we’re all blind

 

Joey’s days are long and paying his dues never ends

He counts his blessings one by one health and good friends

At night Joey walks home he looks to heaven high

He might not make it but he’ll give it his best try

 

In life Joey wants five stars

A double bass with triple guitars

I’m on my way to a paying gig

I’m one break away from hitting it big
