1. Nah Forget Mi Roots
Show Lyrics
Mi nah forget mi roots
Mi nah forget mi roots
I won't forget mi roots
I'll never forget mi roots
Oh no bongo
No congo
A who sold mama
A who sold papa
Two sides to the coin
The seller and the buyer
Let's talk about it
Let's talk about it
Many years of history
Much things have gone wrong
It's no mystery why we just
Can't get along
Let's talk about it
Let's talk about it
Judas sold Christ for thirty
Pieces of silver... Judas
Told his brothers and sisters
That the ride would be fun on the
Water...Judas
A problem can't be solved
If we push it under the rug
We've got to talk about it talk about it
Can't treat a problem like a lifeless bug
We need to talk about it
Let's talk about it
Never see smoke without fire
Can't swim if there's no water
What goes up must come down
What goes around comes around
Follow the sound
( chorus )
Too much wars and rumours of war
In our little world our little world
Who is to blame for the many gang bangs
In our little towns our little towns
A problem can't be solved
If we push it under the rug
We've got to talk about it talk about it
Can't treat a problem like a lifeless bug
We need to talk about it
Let's talk about it
Hey you man in the mirror
Don't be affraid of tomorrow
Just remember that blood follows vein
And in every vein blood means the same
( chorus )
2. Pilot Johnson
Show Lyrics
Slow down Pilot Johnson slow down
Slow down slow down you moving too
fast... x4
Youre flying us way too high
With no direction
You're flying us much too high
With no discretion
Take us back to earth back to humanity
Take us back to earth back to reality
Where we belong where we belong
Where we bound we must obey
We won't have it no other way
Where we bound we must obey
No more will you lead us astray
Too long in the driver's seat
Promoting wars and crimes then
Telling us that you care
New age civilization seem to be
The road to destruction and we
Won't take your drive no more
( solo )
( chorus )
( repeat )
Youre flying us way too high
With no direction
You're flying us much too high
With no discretion
Take us back to earth back to humanity
Take us back to earth back to reality
Where we belong where we belong
3. Mr. Want All
Show Lyrics
Come down Mr. Want All
From your pumps and pride
Come down Mr. Want All
With your greedy ride
You rob and cheat from the poor in the name of the Lord
Now that you've taken it all what's the score
Let go Mr. Want All
You've got no soul
Let go Mr. Want All
No more parole
You exploit us f our rights in the name of the Lord
Now that you've got it all do you still want more
Be careful Mr. Want All
With your demon style
Be careful Mr. Want All
Give you an inch you take a mile
Enough is there for every one in that pot of gold
You may have a heart but it's too cold
We know you don't care about I-and-I
Believe me a no try we no try
You and your friends may laugh
While your having wine for broth
But what about the children's bread
What about the children's bread... x4
Must we look to the cats and dogs
For satisfation
Must we look to the birds and the bees
For a little compassion
Rumour has it that you will never change
Rumour has it that you will never change
Must we look to the flies and the fleas
For unity
Must we look to the fishes in the sea
For sympathy
Rumour has it that you will never change
Rumour has it that you will never change
How nice it would be
If you would give and take a little
How nice it would be
All things are possible
Still rumour has it that you will never change... x4

Waa-ay oh... x4
Riddle me this riddle me that
Guess this riddle and perhaps not
Whether I'm flush
Whether I'm flat
Who can tell me where it's at
If you don't know
Don't burst your brain
Cause every day is very much the same
Sometimes coffee and sometimes tea
Sometimes sun and sometimes rain
Satan is out for you and me
He's playing a very unfair game
But when all is said and done
He's got nothing to gain
Waa-ay oh... x4

Over on the other side of the mountain
There is that fountain
I've been searching for
Searching for so loong so long
That's where righteousness will always flow
Togetherness will always grow
So we no want no pickpocket
Over there
I say you can't run no rocket
Over there
( chorus )
say your hands and your heart got to be clean
To reach the other side of the mountain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I and I shall be
Like sounding brass and tingling cymbals
With gifts of mysteries to remove mountains
Oh yeah, oh yeah... x2
Music flowers and children will be there
That's where everyone shall get an equal share
So we no want no warmongers over there
No gossiper no traitor will be there
( chorus )

11. I'll Be Around
Show Lyrics
I'll be around...x4
I'll be around when the tables turn
And true love is fully found
I'll be around when the tables turn
And saddness is on shakey ground
I'll be around when the tables turn
And gladness won't let me down
I'll be around when the tables turn
Oh yes I'll be around
I'll be around...x4
I'll be around when the tables turn
And peace is at everyone's door
I'll be around when the tables turn
And passion we just can't ignore
I'll be around when the tables turn
And joy we'll have it galore
I'll be around when the tables turn
Oh yes I'll be around for sure
I'll be around... x4
( solo )
If life was a thing that money could buy
The rich would live and the poor would die
We don't have to fuss we don't have to fight
Just share up the pie and do what is right
Whether you a democrat or aristocrat
Whether you a socialist or communist
I'll be around when the tables turn
And I hope you'll be around with me
I'll be around... x4
It may be rough it may be tough
But were gonna make it work
It may be hot it may be cold
But were gonna make it work
It may be thick it may be thin
But were gonna make it work
Some may say I'm crazy you see
But I won't let that bother me
Cause I'll be around... x4
12. Hallelujah
Show Lyrics
We're all but little children
Playing in the sand of time
Exploring its meadows
Finding little hills to climb
This world is like a garden
And we are the flowers
Some bloom in and out of season
Some never bloom at all
Will someone please tell me tell me why tell me why
Innocent babies have to cry
The reason the reason we may never know
Just plant good seeds and let them grow
Let's move move move to the rhythm of life
And accept the things the things we cannot change
Come on let's groove groove groove to the rhythm of life
Just have a little faith the future shall be great
Hold on hold on hold on
Justice must be done
Before the break of dawn
Justice must be done
Before the day is gone gone gone
With deep meditation
And a firm concentration
We will fight the struggle
The battle must be won
Throw down the heavy load and
Think for awhile
If we can make a difference
By just a little smile
Then we've got the power to make
This world a better place
Pick up the pieces
Put them together
Cuase we're moving we're moving from the past
Soon we'll be singing
Free at last free at last
Let's move move move to the rhythm of life
And accept the things the things we cannot change
Come on let's groove groove groove to the rhythm of life
Just have a little faith the future shall be great
Hold on hold on hold on
Justice must be done
Before the break of dawn
Justice must be done
Before the day is gone gone gone
We will be singing glory hallelujah
We are free at last
Glory glory glory hallelujah
We are free at last... repeat
13. Just A Dream
Show Lyrics
A dream is just a dream
A dream is just a dream without you
A dream is nothing more
A dream is nothing less without you
A song is not a song
A song is not a song without words
There's no right or wrong
There's no right or wrong without intelligence
( chorus )
The man next door is your brother
Just like that person in the mirror
You and I reflect one another
How long shall we run from the truth
Yes we can run but we can't hide
Oh no no no no no
No me without you
No you without me just like a team
Me for you
And you for me
The way we ought to be no in betweeen
What's the use of a telephone if nothing
is at the other end
It's time we realized that no one no one
stands alone
( chorus )
Sky's the limit and we ain't gonna stop
Some way some how we've got to unite
Love's without measure
Sweeter than a lollipop
Come on come on down and take a bite
Go tell it to the town
Go tell it all around
But please remember now
Oh please remember that
Seasons come and seasons go
Just like the water flows when it rains
There's much to be achieved
If only we believe in you and me
Let your feelings go
Let the rhythm flow
Where it may
Freedom comes from deep within
Listen to the children sing
Oh hear them say
( chorus )
