from "So Far" 1994 WEA You- you out on the
road
must have a code that you can live by and so become yourself, because the past is just a goodbye Teach your children well Their father's hell did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picked; the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would cry Just look at them and sigh And know they love you. And you of the tender years [Can you hear it? Do you care now?] Can't know the fears that your elders grew by [Do you see they must be free too?] And so please help them with your youth [Teach your children you believe and] They seed the truth before they can die [make a world that we can live in] Teach your parents well Their children's hell will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picked; the one you'll know by Don't you ever ask them why If they told you you would cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you.

from "Songs For Beginners" 1971 Atlantic So your brother's bound and gagged and they've
chained him to a chair-
Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing? In a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair? Won't you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring? We can change the world; rearrange the world; it's dying To get better. Politicians, sit yourself down: There's nothing for you here Won't you please come to Chicago for a ride? Don't ask Jack to help you, 'cause he'll turn the other ear Won't you please come to Chicago, or else join the other side We can change the world- yes we can change the world Rearrange the world- rearrange the world It's dying- if you believe in justice It's dying- and if you believe in freedom It's dying- let a man lead his own life; It's dying- rules and regulations: Who needs them? Oooh- Open up the door! Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soon Won't you please come to Chicago; show your face! From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon Won't you please come to Chicago; no one else can take your place We can change the world- yes we can change the world Rearrange the world- rearrange the world It's dying- if you believe in justice It's dying- and if you believe in freedom It's dying- let a man lead his own life; It's dying- rules and regulations: Who needs them? Oooh- Open up the door! Oh okay-ai?... yeah (I don't believe it) haha! You can change the world You can change the world - you can change the world You can change the world - you can change the world, yes you can etc. (fade out)

from "Songs For Survivors" 2002 Artemis Records Greenwood Oklahoma June of
'21
Someone set the night on fire Lost a lot of people as the day begun Who lit the funeral pire? On an elevator in the heart of town Someone made somebody scream Black and white going up and down Who's gonna lose a dream? Dirty little secret Headlines printed in the daily news Awake the sleeping rage inside Disarm the people, keep them all confused Kill before they turn the tide Dirty little secret going 'round Whispering from ear to ear Burning down the very heart of town Nobody shed a tear Dirty little secret Dirty little secret Look up to the sky: The tears fall from the clouds But Greenwood, don't you cry: Just shout it right out loud: It's such a dirty little secret Cravings so much darker every day It's hard to rise above it all "Can't we get along?" I heard someone say Who's gonna make the call? 'Cause all the walking wounded pay the price For living in the promised land Take care of your neighbor would be my advice 'Cause nothing ever goes as planned. It’s Such a Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Secret Dirty Little Secret Whoo!
