When the city of Atlantis Stood serene above the sea Long time before our time When the world was free Those were the days Golden cymbals flying On ocarina sounds Before wild Medusa's serpents Gave birth to hell Disguised as heaven Those were the days yes, they were Those were the days Those were their ways Miracles everywhere-where are they now? They're gone Those were their ways yes, they were Those were their ways Those were the days yes, they were Those were the days Tie your painted shoes and dance Blue daylight in your hair Overhead a noiseless eagle Fans a flame Wonder everywhere
You are the crown of creation You are the crown of creation And you've got no place to go Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for In the only way that it's granted In a place among the fossils of our time In loyalty to their kind They cannot tolerate our minds In loyalty to our kind We cannot tolerate their obstruction Life is change How it differs from the rocks I've seen their ways too often for my liking New worlds to gain My life is to survive And be alive for you
Who lingers in the road? Who espies us? He shall hide him in his house nor be bold. Let the heart keep silence that defies us; For I sing this day to Dionysus The song that is appointed from of old.
Old friends, old mothers, dogs and brothers There’s only so much letting go you can ask someone to do So I keep you by my side, I will not give you to the tide
My old man's provo with a beret and a gun, I haven't seen him recently 'cos he's on the run He loooks so proper trundy with his shades and DM boots Not like all the other dads, with their ties, and shirst and suits.
We don't need to be clever to learn your lies We only have to listen, open up our eyes Try to be honest, get kicked in the face But if you cheat you're just a rat in the race
Keelhaul that filthy land lover Send him down to the depths below! Make the bastard walk the plank With a bottle of rum and a yo Ho ho!
Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out It doesn't matter much to me
Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers, arise ye criminals of want, for reasons in revolt now thunders, and at last ends the age of cant. Now away with all your superstitions, servile masses arise, arise, We'll change henceforth the old conditions, and spurn the dust to win the prize Then Comrades come rally, and the last fight let us face, The Internationale unites the human race, then comrades come rally, and the last fight let us face, the Internationale unites the human race.
It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep There's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train
I woke up this morning and I said You know instead of waitin' for a good day to happen, you know Waitin' around through up's and down's, you know We're gonna have We're gonna have We're gonna have a good day And all my homies gonna ride today And all these mommies look fly today And all we wanna do is get by today Heyyy We're gonna have a good day And ain't nobody gotta cry today 'Cause ain't nobody gonna die today You save that drama for another day Heyyy we're gonna have a good day
[First Man:] I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think. [Establishment:] Of course you are my bright little star, I've miles And miles Of files Pretty files of your forefather's fruit and now to suit our great computer, You're magnetic ink. [First Man:] I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be. [Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles And piles Of trials With smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave And keep on thinking free.
He's just an American boy He loves his machine No back talk from a machine When was the last time a television set Gave you any shit about Who you met last night? No back talk from a machine Now if your motor doesn't turn over for you, well You don't feed it right Give it a little grease Give it a little gas Drive straight on through the night Man-made mechanical mover Love your machine You say nothing's right but natural things Ah, you fool Poison oak is a natural plant Why don't you put some in your food? Natural food makes you slow and stupid and it tastes like cabbage I don't care if there's chemicals in it As long as my lettuce is crisp Preservatives might be preserving you all I think that's something you might've... Oh, I think you might've missed it Yeah, you missed it
If your head spins round try to see the ground if you can My busy eyes missed her path through the air as she ran My sensory mind is too old to cry Not ready to live and too strange to die So stop your doubt push the world on by With your hand It takes time to love and open minds to love And who's got time on their hands Well life can be hard when you're holes in a card In some electronic hand You'll wander around from place to place Disappear without a trace And someone else will take your place In line You can fool your friends about the way it ends But you can't fool yourself Take your head in hand and make your own demands Or you'll crystallize on the shelf The freeway's concrete way won't show You where to run or how to go And running fast you'll go down slow in the end
Well I'm taking some time with my quiet friend Well I'm takin' some time on my own. Well I'm makin' some plans for my getaway There'll be blue skies shining up above When I'm cloud hidden Cloud hidden Whereabouts unknown
Load up on guns Kill your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend I'm over bored and self assured Oh no! I know a dirty word
