    Your lights are on, but Cheney's not home
    Your mind is blown its not your own
    Your heart sweats, your body shakes
    Another disaster is what it takes

    You can't sleep, you can't eat
    There's no doubt, life is cheap
    Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
    winning another election is what you need

    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
    yeah



    Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to war

    You see the signs, but you can't read
    all you care about is corporate greed
    You heart beats in double time
    because you got more bombing on your mind

    You can't be saved
    War is all you crave
    Then you say its the conserative way



    Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to war

    Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to war

    The melody was in my head;so I wrote the song last saturday night in about three minutes borrowing some lyrics from Robert Palmers "Addicted to Love".




    Addicted To Love


    Your lights are on, but you're not home
    Your mind is not your own
    Your heart sweats, your body shakes
    Another kiss is what it takes
    You can't sleep, you can't eat
    There's no doubt, you're in deep
    Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
    Another kiss is all you need

    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
    It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
    You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

    You see the signs, but you can't read
    You're runnin' at a different speed
    Your heart beats in double time
    Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
    You can't be saved
    Oblivion is all you crave
    If there's some left for you
    You don't mind if you do

    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
    It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
    You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

    [break]

    Your lights are on, but you're not home
    Your will is not your own
    You're heart sweats, your teeth grind
    Another kiss and you'll be mine
    Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
    It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
    You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
    Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

    Peace WE,


    i think i have heard that song before. in 2 weeks i will have my old girl home and see just what she needs. :) and when i get enough money & get her running well i am going to take her to meet you :) she would love to stretch her legs. not on the interstate but hightway. i can take highway anywhere still and thats what the old girl will get. she is beautiful for a auto. as if the person who designed the 57 Chevy tried to make it resembel there wife! beautiful machines! when she is home i will rest a little easier. i am paranoid about the dealership selling the car to someone else.

    later

    Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
    Marching to the fields of Concord?
    It looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand,
    Marching to the Concord war, hey marching to the Concord war.


    Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
    Marching to the fields of Gettysburg?
    It looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand,
    Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey marching to the Gettysburg war.


    Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
    Marching to the fields of Dunkirk?
    It looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand,
    Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey marching to the Dunkirk war.


    Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
    Marching to the fields of Korea?
    It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand,
    Marching to the Korean war, hey marching to the Korean war.


    Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
    Marching to the fields of Vietnam?
    It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15,
    Marching to the Vietnam war, hey marching to the Vietnam war.


    Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
    Marching to the fields of Birmingham?
    It looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist,
    Marching to the Birmingham war, hey marching to the Birmingham war.


    Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road,
    It's a long hard road, before we'll be free.


    Hey, what's the use of singing this song, some of you are not even listening.
    Tell me what it is we've got to do: wait for our fields to start glistening,
    Wait for the bullets to start whistling.
    Here comes a hydrogen bomb, here comes a guided missile,
    Here comes a hydrogen bomb: I can almost hear its whistle.

    Love is but the song we sing,
    And fear's the way we die
    You can make the mountains ring
    Or make the angels cry
    Know the dove is on the wing
    And you need not know why.

    C'mon people now,
    Smile on your brother
    Ev'rybody get together
    Try and love one another right now.

    Some will come and some will go
    We shall surely pass
    When the one that left us here
    Returns for us at last
    We are but a moments sunlight
    Fading in the grass.

    C'mon people now,
    Smile on your brother
    Ev'rybody get together
    Try and love one another right now.

    If you hear the song I sing,
    You must understand {listen}
    You hold the key to love and fear
    All in your trembling hand
    Just one key unlocks them both
    It's there at your command.

    C'mon people now,
    Smile on your brother
    Ev'rybody get together
    Try and love one another right now
    Right now
    Right now!
