All Star United Lyrics

La La Land

They're five happy verses or so
They told me all I needed to know
Ignore all the rest
Trials and tests
And threats to my comfort zone

Well I've got no time to find out what's real
I stick with what I happen to feel
It feels grand
When you're livin' in lala land

You can name a blessing yourself
Stake a claim on power and wealth
And strong healthy teeth
A spot at the beach
And romance that's really swell

All the saints and martyrs alike
Well they would have called a national strike
Demanded less pain
More personal gain
If only they'd know their rights

Well I take it very personally
Yeah, I got to know what's in it for me
Ain't it grand?
When you're livin' in lala land

I've got my prayer cloth collection in a Jesus jar
I've got the Holy Ghost riding in the back of my car
Sometimes He gives a little tickle I go "Hardee har har"
Ain't it grand, when you're living in lala land

My Jesus decal does quite a trick
Right above my dashboard I stick it
A good luck charm
It keeps me from harm
And saves me from speeding tickets.

And that's alright, but if you demand spotlights
Get ready to blow
'Cos heaven steps on false attempts to glow
I gotta know

Will you be there when they roll out
Bright red carpet?
Will I see you by my side?

Will you be there when we walk on
Bright red carpet?
Will I see you by my side?

He's a stylish guy, he steals a room
Even looks good in everything
Soon Hollywood will call him king

And that's okay, 'cos Armani likes the way
You wear your clothes
But heaven's gate
Is no place for fashion shows
I gotta know

You try so hard, and you get what you get
But in your heart I hope you never forget
A selfish soul will never stroll
On red carpet

And so she goes on
Like a drifting satellite
But tonight

Angels hold her hands
When she walks in the dark
Angels hold her hands
When she's falling apart

God could keep His own half-acre
She'd move on
And make another way of her own
And now she feels
She's gained the wheel
But never control

And so she fades out
Like a missing satellite
But tonight

Bridge:
And wherever she goes
Angels follow

Angels hold her hands
When she walks in the dark
Angels hold her hands
When she walks away
When she's falling apart.

Let's just drive
Take a deep breath and I swear
Everything will be all right
Let's just drive
Until it gets us somewhere
Even if it takes all night
Let's just drive

I know you thought we were the same
We're two different kinds
I've been following a narrow lane
You follow your's where it winds
Now it's time to get in gear
I'll take you far from here
If you're dissatisfied

Let's just roll, away tonight
Let's just roll away until we get it right
Let's just drive

I really must confess
It feels like there's a war in me
I'm drawn to those who offer less
But is this really where I need to be?

Over this I'm losing rest
I can't bear to turn away
If I try to second guess
Oh, I gamble it away
I'm torn

Smash Hit

A clever market plan
He didn't understand
That's all it really takes
He could have played for higher stakes

Now

Somehow
We'ver gone wrong

This Jesus thing, it's a smash hit
It's packaged right
All stocks have split, it's a smash hit
It's gone worldwide

Join His name to any cause
Drop His name to get applause
They never get enough
Nothing here to be ashamed of

Those ever loyal fans
They wanna get their hands
On His newest merchandising
Ignoring overpricing

Now,
Oh wow
We've gone wrong

It has no explanation
It smells like exploitation

Oh, it's that feelin' comin' back again
Turnin' earth around and pounding sirens in my head
Well there's only one cure that I know for sure
And it goes on and on
It goes on and on

And when it all is said and done
Until the end
Yes, you're the only one
And when the world is in reverse
You're the Saviour of my universe

I don't suppose I'm prone to trouble
Though I always do the very best I can
My universe a leaky bubble
Pinned by a friend
And only then did it expand

Oh, it's that feelin' comin' back again
Turning earth around
And pounding sirens in my head
Well there's only one cure
That I know for sure
And it goes on and on
It goes on and on

Whooo-hoo-hoo
It's a beautiful thing
Woo-hoo-hoo
To be loved by you
Whoo-hoo-hoo
Oh that'll be enough to get me through
It's a beautiful thing

I'll take the Rockies gift-wrapped
Or the Grand Tetons
Add a truckload of those cherry bon-bons
A '54 fire red collector's car
A doggy-bag trip to the money super bar

There's no trade
Nothing could persuade
I'm no fool
You're so beautiful
Yeah, so beautiful
Yeah

And when we fall apart
Just one thing takes me back to the start

Tenderness
Put my heart to rest
Your tenderness
Hits me to the bone
Tenderness
When my head's a mess
Your tenderness
Keeps me coming home

Hush baby, don't cry
This rings in my head all the time
And still
I tend to forget your words

When I'm the swan in my full dive
Just one thing keeps me alive

And so it seems to me
To all of us here
The answer is clear
That you need a little less stress
And some more tenderness

It must be the way that I can hear you say this now
Don't be afraid
Just know that I'll be with you somehow
All of your cries
Soon they will drown in my lullabies
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes

Don't be afraid
When the day has become your lion's den
It's pure concentrate
Your comforting words have marked a trend
I'm giving up
Wishin on the falling stars
I'm living up to something new
I've made a vow

It's taken me high
It's taken me far
I'll keep singing your tune
You'll hear it all around.
