Painted Windows

Looking out through painted windows
Deep-rooted and without a clue
Sets aside all differences and everything he's used to
Takes a walk and the water falls
Dries off so nobody knows
That all along he's bee trying to break away, yeah

Waking up, feel a heart that's beating
Take a breath and feel that you're alive
Who would have guessed that just by being you
That you'd make it through this time?
Another case of a fucked up dreamer
Not knowing when to say when
Believes in everything that he wants to believe in

All a part of his identity
Searches for happiness
And makes it on belief, yeah
All in all it's just a fantasy
He runs around in circles
Trying to figure out just who it is we are

(chorus)
Looking through painted windows!
Your dreams become reality and fantasies an opportunity
Reality in dream!
Just take another look inside, now take hold
And tell me what you see

Looking through painted windows!
New visions of a world that's been passing by
And right before your eyes
Nothing's as it seems!
A vision of the future and it seems fine.

Live a day to ask another question
Get an answer find another lie
How beautiful does it all seem when looking from the inside?
Find out what makes you different
Hold true and don't turn away
In doing so don't you know that you're gonna break away?

We're a part of our worst enemy
Tear us down and try to make us believe
All in all we're in a fantasy
We run around in circles
Trying to figure out just who it is we are

(chorus)

And looking through painted windows we hold onto our dreams
A moment passes by and it seems
To open the flood-gate and let the future flow
Now reach out and take a hold

Don't be blinded by the glare you see
Keep on and search, what makes you happy?
Make it happen, go and dream, yeah
Dreams become reality
Run with this life
Believe in all you've dreamt
And keep on trusting in who it is that you are
Just who it is you are

Revolution

Look at the blueprints as they disappear
Cause of the blank space filled with all our fears
To make a move could be devastation
To take a chance is a way to face them
Make it a choice to take a different road

You wanna revolution? (YEAH)
You gotta make a difference on your own
Wanna revolution?(YEAH)
Stand up
Stand out and make it known[2x]

A new state renovation
A new day brings you to the nation
These days another way to replay
No replay
I think I'm better this way
Times up and can I say thats ok
Too late
I shoulda coulda maybe
Why wait
But in the end it could be my last big mistake

You want a revolution?(YEAH)
You gotta make a difference on your own
Wanna revolution?(YEAH)
Stand up
Stand out and make it known[2x]

Face first
New days
Choices
We Made

Face first
New days
The choices we made!

Face first
Our ability to choose I make a change
Insteada saying that its just fine
Time to open up and time to realize
You can make a differnce if you try

You want a revolution?(YEAH)
You gotta make a difference on your own
Wanna revolution?(YEAH)
Stand up
Stand out and make it known

Find Your Way

What did you want?
What were you waiting to see?
Just take a look around, youll find the same old story
Im unconscious again finding a means to an end
Im trying to forget all about forgotten

So whats the use in making lies up, when promises have dried up
Go out in the end
Living in your misfortune and dying to break away someday
Find your way

The more I walk around these streets the more they all the same
Crooked situations on a different day
Howd I survive? With my friends by my side
Now pick me up to watch me fall down
Bottled up dreams will make it alright

Ive got to make a choice and hope I make it right
It always seems to come around and kick you down
To let you know that nothing comes free
I dont know where Im going, and cant wait to understand
In times like this I vouch for myself, because I know no one else can
I find myself in question
Sometimes I lose control
No big suprise Im sure
Just saying Im aware, this I know

What did you want?
What were you waiting to see?
Just take a look around, youll find the same old story
Im unconscious again finding a means to an end
Im trying to remember all that was forgotten

(Youll find your way)
Would someone tell me what is this?
Only my existence
The only way to face this is bumps and bruises
No resistance
Ive got to try and face this
The more I pick up my feet the more I land on my face
Its dimmer situations
No resistance
Ive got to try and face this
Bumps and bruises
Tell me what is this thing that Im faced with
No more excuses
Bound to find your way

Madman

Come on i'll take you on a journey through the mind of a madman
With the common misconception that he's got an ace in his upper hand
Sees 20/20, but as blind as can be
Why's everybody always picking on me?
When insecurity comes a-knockin' it plans to take you for a ride
It doesn't come so easy with the devil by its side
Frustration, non-fiction, this vixen, you lose
Ah come on lets face it no one's picking but you

She'll take your lovin' and leave you feeling so confused
She'll take your lovin' boy there's nothing more that you can do
She'll say that she wants to be with you, she wished you were dead
She's fucked with your mind, now she's got in your head
What more now can you say?

What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you
What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you

Now jump back baby girl you'd better believe it
Got the bull by the horns like it was just open season
Faked me out again, but i watch your true color show
Cause where i'm standing from, hell nobody knows
Can you feel it? It's real
You've got me now
You've taken over, taken off, and taken me down
Through your mind running through your soul
With every look like daggers piercing girl you just don't know

What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you
What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you
What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you
What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you
What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you
What she'll say not always what she'll do
Watch out for things she's never gonna tell you

Taking On The World

So many faithless, so little time
And out of empathy you make it feel right
Of all the places you wanted to be
With unfamiliar faces that you wanted to see
How many times did you walk around on ability to reason that you know?
And all the times that you've had to let it go?
So many diffeent reasons that you've had to show

Think of all the times and all of the reasons that you had ever once to believe
Among so many times before
Combined with the ways that you were
In times that you've wanted beliefs it takes you for more
And what's more
On your way, on with the day among the things you've fought for so long
Why can't you just let them go?
Time helps to show
One by one they start to fade away

The times that there were things that you've wanted to say
You know that you've help them pent up deep down inside
taking on the world a whole new meaning now that you have put it all into play
What does all this mean?
It will take you in and it will spit you out
It will drag you down until there's now doubt
It made you feel you've gotten no more
And what's more
It will take away all you've entrusted and replace it with a bag full of rocks
But if you can just let that go, time has helps to show
All that shit will start to fade away

The times there were things you wanted to say
You know that you've held them all so deep down inside your mind
No reason just to let them go away
That way you can try if you want to believe
You're watching them all go with your ability
Why can't you just let them all fade away?
You ever feel like you're taking on the world?

Because there are so many faithless, so little time
And out of empathy you make it feel right
Of all the places you wanted to be
With unfamiliar faces that you wanted to see
How many times did you walk around on ability to reason that you know?
And all the times that you've had to let it go?
So many diffeent reasons that you've had to show

I want!
Want a brighter day?
I believe that you'll find a way
I need!
Want a brighter day?
I believe in all of the times that we've seen before

Retreat!

You retreat your sticky situation, don't choose to walk away
If you do, these times will come for you

You're giving up what you're thinking
But now you're thinking you were right
Put up in a sticky situation without putting up a fight
Now face to face reflections have got you thinking you were wrong
In that sticky situation when you've known it all along
Because if I cease now, I'm liable to regret it later
Assist how? Up in the air your continence wavers
So what you gonna do?
Run fast as you can?
You're thinking back
No, you never had a plan
That's when you turn away
And you say you'll be back some other day
And then you run and hide

Retreat!
Your sticky situation
You retreat!
With out any hesitation
You retreat!
Your sticky situation now

Rackin' them up there's no question that you've played this game before
This sticky situation that you're choosing to ignore
What once was, it still is, and may forever be
But if ever I don't face it man I'm never gonna see
Cuz if I cease now, I'm liable to regret it later
Assist how? Up in the air your continence wavers
So what you gonna do?
Run fast as you can?
You're thinking back
Nope, you never had a plan
That's when you turn away
And you say you'll be back some other day
But then you run and hide

Retreat!
Your sticky situation
You retreat!
With out any hesitation
You retreat!
Your sticky situation now

HERE IT COMES!

You're giving up what you're thinking
But now you're thinking you were right
In a sticky situation without putting up a fight
Now face to face reflections have got you thinking you were wrong
In that sticky situation when you had known it all along
And what you do with your life is your own
Apart from different things that we're told
All the times you've chose to run and hide
All those different things you were afraid would unwind
But now you're picking up and running away
You're packing up, backing up, leaving it for another day
All the different times you've chose to run and hide
All the different things you thought they might find
You pack it up, back it up, pack it up, back it up and run
You're picking up, packing up, and back up under the sun
Now all the different reason you'd chose to run away
All those different reasons, now for another day
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Retreat!
Your sticky situation
You retreat!
With out any hesitation
You retreat!
Your sticky situation now
Yeah you run away right now!

Society Sequence

The world breaks loose as we grab for the noose
We're spinning round and round like we're never going to lose
Falling farther fast and always coming in last
Jumping up and down, well, look waht i've found here

I've found society
It's been lying to me
It's got a hold and with a really tight grasp

Let's turn and face this from a different point of view
It's going on all around us just tell me the truth
What's right? Tell me what's wrong
News stands and media can't be wrong?

I've found society
It's been lying to me
It's got a hold and with a really tight grasp

What's in the papers for one and all?
A modern world that is never going to fall?
Just quit lying to me and let me be free
Take a step back and what do i see here?

I've found society
It's been lying to me
It's got a hold and with a really tight grasp

Thousand Year War

Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn
A decade passes by it's just the calm before the storm
An age-old situation that it seems may never end
Round and round we go and round and round we go again
What we see hides out in the grotto
What we do comes back around to follow
All these things, when will we see?
It's pouring out of the lands

In a thousand years of war
A thousand lives are torn
A thousand bullets hit the ground
A thousand mothers mourn
The glass if half empty and the barrels half full
The aristocracy paid by the death toll
And both sides still rockin' their beliefs
The crooked politicians and the fucked up police
From this worldly hell I need a release
I can't believe they all died for a little grease

Throughout the generations flags of peace and treaties sworn
But history has proven that it's just the calm before the storm
Something's gone on for way too long and that's one thing for sure
A constant game of tug o' war
I'm asking what's it all for?

A thousand years of war
Can you tell me who wins a war?
And what's the outcome in the end?
It's not a fairytale ending paved with happiness and joy
We've got another thing coming
What's it for? Tells the fate of our tomorrow
What's the score? Another round is sure to follow
As for the innocent standing out in the streets
Take cover, it's another dead end

Lines in sand, lies and demands
You think you see it coming
Got another thing comin'
Take cover it's another dead end

(Round and around and around we go)
Pandemonium, confusion, hysteria, when's it going to end?
Stop all the fighting and stop all the war
Stop all the fighting it's kind of hard to ignore
Stop all the fighting can't you see its dead end?
Can you see its dead end?

Mexican Radio

I feel the hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
I hit the switch and check the number
I leave it on and then I slumber
I hear the rhythm ringing through it
Flomenco guitar y Cumbia music
I hear the talking of the D.J.
Lets have a listen
What does he say?

Im on a Mexican radio
Im on a Mexican woah radio

I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the Iraq invasion
I understand just a little
No comprende its a riddle

Im on a Mexican radio
Im on a Mexican woah radio

I wish I was in Tijuana
Sipping back an ice cold cahuama
I take requests on the telephone
Im on a wavelength far from home
I feel the hot wind on my shoulder
I dial in from south of the border
I hear the talking of th D.J.
Lets try to figure out
What does he say?

Im on a Mexican radio (what does he say?)
(woah) Im on a Mexican woah radio (what does he say?)
(woah) Im on a Mexican radio (what does he say?)
(woah) Im on a Mexican woah radio (whats he fuckin say?)
Radio radio radio (what does he say?) radio
Radio radio radio (what does he say?) radio

Chile Con Crudo

(Instrumental)

Solitude

By myself I sit alone
I'm wondering about a poem
I can't express the way that I feel in words
I start to write, when I'm all alone.
I can't say that I know what I'm talking about
I can't say that I can keep below a shout
I can't say that I want what I'm writing about
I can't say that I know what I'm talking about
As my body turns to stone
I start to peel my brain right to the bone
I'm trying to bring justice to my thoughts
I'm trying just to let my mind reign
Now I can't feel a fucking thing
Well then I ask my self, hey now why should I sing
I'm trying to bring justice to my thoughts
I'm trying just, to let my fucking mind reign!

Siempre Loco

I've got a bad connection
It seems there's nothing more that I can do
I've been staring at a wall since noon
There's nothing more that I'm used to
With all these fucked up difference
And not to mention points of view
What we don't' see
What out of sight
Not out of mind
We're told to
Just sit back and listen and not say a word
Just do what you tell me and never be heard
That's just the type of bullshit that I'd expect from you
You're driving me crazy
Siempre Loco
I've got that good old fashioned feeling running
Through my bones
They call it free will, now taking control
I'll speak my mind, and my actions?
Live the way that I choose
I'm tuning you out, and I will never

PCH-82

[Chorus:]
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control, and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice

[Narrator]
In some countries even today police officers may search a person's home or office for evidence of wrongdoing and arrest him whenever they see fit.

In the United States on the other hand the Fourth Amendment protects the individual and his property from unreasonable search and seizure by officers of the law.

Double Jeopardy, the Fifth Amendment also guarantees the individual that he will not be tried before a federal court more than once for the same crime.

[Chorus]

[Narrator]
A knock at the door whether by day or night, as a prelude to a search without authority of law but solely on the authority of police, is inconsistent with the conception of human rights, enshrined in the history of basic constitutional documents of English speaking peoples.

Although the sanctity of ones privacy against illegal intrusion is one of the most important basic rights in our Constitution, experiences show that such intrusions occur at the hands of overzealous police officers.

[Chorus]

[Narrator]
Freedom of speech and freedom of press; the right to speak his mind is close to the heart of every American, the constitution prohibits most forms of censorship over the press and speechmakers. The argument against censorship is clear: no government official should be permitted to dictate what ideas or beliefs we are entitled to hear or believe. Both good and evil should be averted by more speech and not enforced silence.
Similarly while a person is free to make speeches on public streets he may be prevented from doing so when he uses a loud or raucous amplifier, which disturbs the public tranquility.

[Chorus]

Rattlin' Bog

[Chorus:]
Oh ho the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-oh
Oh ho the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-oh

Now, in this bog,
There was a tree,
A rare tree,
A rattlin' tree,
The tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

Now, on this tree,
There was a limb,
A rare limb,
A rattlin' limb,
The limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

Now, on this limb,
There was a branch,
A rare branch,
A rattlin' branch,
The branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

On this branch,
There was a twig,
A rare twig,
A rattlin' twig,
The twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

On this twig,
There was a nest,
A rare nest,
A rattlin' nest,
The nest on the twig,
And the twig on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

In the nest,
There was an egg,
A rare egg,
A rattlin' egg,
The egg in the nest,
And the nest on the twig,
And the twig on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

On the egg,
There was a bird,
A rare bird,
A rattlin' bird,
The bird on the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the twig,
And the twig on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

On the bird,
There was feather,
A rare feather,
A rattlin' feather,
The feather on the bird,
And the bird on the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the twig,
And the twig on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]

On the feather,
There was a flea,
A rare flea,
A rattlin' flea
The flea on the feather,
And the feather on the bird,
And the bird on the egg,
And the egg in the nest,
And the nest on the twig,
And the twig on the branch,
And the branch on the limb,
And the limb on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-oh!

[Chorus]
