PEACE OF MIND
This, a new revelation
speaks a message to me
with out hesitation
rings out loud and clear
Seize your peace of mind
This American nation
takes the message from me
with out hesitation
robs the message from me
Seize your peace of mind
Without all the fanfare
rings out loud and clear
With out all the grandstands
rings out loud and clear
Wait up for me
Wait up for me now
This, the ancient of nations
holds the message for me
with out hesitation
rings out loud and clear
Seize your peace of mind
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR
Pardon me
Am I supposed to listen
To your jaded views
Rusted as they glisten
Don't believe him
You survive
Your blatant contradictions
You submit
Reality revisions
Don't believe him
THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT (Morrissey/Marr)
SEA OF GREEN
All alone
On a swarming sea
All alone
Like a drowning man
Sky above
Mirrors sea below
Stars above
Mirrors souls below
Crest and fallen so serene
You belong to me
Drifting, Falling Ocean Blue
Is now a Sea of Green.
