Other non-Album songs from this period:
MIDEAST VACATION ---------------- I used to watch "Highway Patrol" Whittlin' with my knife But the thought never struck me I'd be black and white for life I was raised on law and order I a community of strife Became a restless boarder And I never took a wife. I went lookin' for Khaddafi Aboard Air Force One But I never did find him And the C.I.A. said Son, You'll never be a hero Your flyin' days are done It's time for you to go home now Stop sniffin' that smokin' gun. I was travellin' with my family In the Mideast late one night In the hotel all was quiet The kids were out like little lights Then the street was filled with jeeps There was an explosion to the right They chanted "Death to America" I was feelin' like a fight. So I ran downstairs And out into the street Someone kicked me in the belly Someone else kissed my feet I was Rambo in the disco I was shootin' to the beat When they burned me in effigy My vacation was complete. LONG WALK HOME -------------- If you see Liberty tell her I will Buy her windows on the hill Laud her flowers on the sill Till they grow higher and higher. If Liberty was a little girl Watching all the flags unfurl Standing at the big parade How would she like us now? We balance the power From hour to hour Giant guns rage It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home. From Vietnam to old Beirut If we are searching for the truth Why do we feel that double-edged blade Cutting through our hand. America, America Where have we gone? It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home. We balance the power From hour to hour Giant guns rage It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home It's such a long walk home. AROUND THE WORLD ---------------- Boy and girl fall in love Dreamin' under stars above Meanwhile push comes to shove Around the world. Leaders fall, leaders rise Terror wears a thin disguise Not much room for compromise Around the world. Surfers from seven seas Sharing with the submarines Experts count war machines Around the world. People sweat in planted fields Students study what is real Someone builds a laser shield Around the world. Fashion change, style change Fashion change, style change Fashion change, style change. Hey! What's that you got on? You're sure looking good tonight! Where'd you pick that up anyway? Wow! You're looking beautiful! Hey! You are somethin' else tonight, so skin tight. Yeah! Come on, lets go out! Come On! Why do we have to hate Why do we incinerate Why don't we illuminate Around the world. Why don't we illuminate Why don't we illuminate Around the world. INCA QUEEN ---------- Once there was an Inca Queen She gazed at her sundial All around her workers raised Golden idols to her smile The waiting years weren't hard to see Behind the tears of Mercury. She spoke of silver from the sky And many floating safety boats To pick them up when they would fly Far above their dreams and hopes And they a mountain city raised Where their queen above the clouds Could watch out. Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has come Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has come. Out in the jungle the drums were heard: Inca Queen has come From the biggest elephant to the smallest bird: Inca Queen has come She spoke of silver from the sky, Inca Queen has come To pick them up when they would fly, Inca Queen has come. Once there was an Inca Queen She gazed at her sundial All around her workers raised Golden idols to her smile And though the air was thin and cold Soon the day would come the queen had told. Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has, Inca Queen has come. TOO LONELY ---------- Too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love. I got a key chain Good luck charm I drive a fast car Got a strong arm. Too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love. She's got the big lips She's got the tight dress Working for a big tip She don't go for less. She's too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love. She wears a fur coat She's got a gold ring Comes from a good home Lookin' for a new thing. She's too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love Too lonely, too lonely Too lonely to fall in love. PRISONERS OF ROCK 'N' ROLL -------------------------- People tell us that we play to loud But they don't know what our music's about We never listen to the record company man They try to change us and ruin our band. That's why we don't wanna be good That's why we don't wanna be good We're prisoners of rock and roll. When were jammin' in our old garage The girls come over and it sure gets hot We don't wanna be watered down Takin' orders from record company clowns. That's why we don't wanna be good That's why we don't wanna be good We're prisoners of rock and roll. We're prisoners of rock and roll. CRYIN' EYES ----------- Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? Who's gonna wake you up to that big surprise? Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? You say that all your life you've been a free bird There's been nobody over you And you always have to have the last word Because one feels better than two. Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? Who's gonna wake you up to that big surprise? Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? You say your life's like riding on a fast train It's easy to see far away But right up close it's just a blurry haze Flyin' by from day to day. Who's gonna dry your cryin' eyes? WHEN YOUR LONELY HEART BREAKS ----------------------------- When your lonely heart breaks Don't sit counting your mistakes Don't be waiting for love to come back Don't be wastin' time Don't be lost in crime When your lonely heart breaks When your lonely heart breaks. What's your problem, she's gone You're still movin', movin' on You got memories, she got strong There's a lot of things That aren't gone When your lonely, lonely heart breaks When your lonely heart breaks. When your lonely heart breaks Don't be cryin' for good times you had When your lonely heart breaks. When your lonely heart breaks Don't sit counting your mistakes Don't be waiting for love to come back Don't be wastin' time Don't be lost in crime When your lonely, lonely heart breaks When your lonely, lonely heart breaks When your lonely heart breaks. WE NEVER DANCED --------------- Between heaven and earth There's a ballroom floor Where the couples glide In the evermore. Floating through the clouds Dancing in the rain Eyes that see no lies Hearts that feel no pain. Hope it's not too late We were more than friends I can hardly wait 'Til we meet again. If you don't really know Where you want to go It makes no difference Which road you take. Hope it's not too late We were more than friends I can hardly wait 'Til we meet again. We never danced We never danced We never danced the night away. We never danced We never danced We never danced the night away. THE ROAD OF PLENTY ------------------ One day a visitor took a trip through my town We all were dancin' till he took his beat away Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail Slipped out late one night Completely out of sight Left his message etched into my brain. And when the gates are closed on The Road of Plenty The fist comes poundin' down you feel it everyday It's hard to really know if you are full or empty Here it comes again You think I'm your old friend But now we're not so easily found. Me and my old Corvette, we were flying through the night Chasin' my blonde lover down skyline She saw the tail lights flash to avoid the crash It was way too late When I hit the brakes And we went spinnin' with a screeching sound. I was talkin' to my friend, tellin' him I lucked out He smiled at me and said I'm glad you feel that way And when I wrote that down on a piece of paper Beneath a garbage heap Down upon the street A Mariachi band began to play. Up in the gold hotel, the money hits the table The heavies are all there, that's why the deal goes down With beautiful women all dressed in diamonds and sable Down upon the street Beside a garbage heap A Mariachi band began to play. In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter His eyes are screamin' blue, his hair is red as blood And when the gate goes up, the crowd gets so excited Then he comes dancin' out Dressed in gold lami He kills the bull and lives another day. WELCOME TO THE BIG ROOM ----------------------- Welcome to the big room Everything's alright. People, welcome to the big room 'Cause everything's alright. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. Don't have no cameras in the big room Too much for one lens to see. Don't allow no cameras in the big room. Too much for one lens to see. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. There's always tellers in the big room. Every day and every night. There's always tellers in the big room. Every day and every night. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. There's always dancing in the big room, Every day and every night. There's always dancing in the big room, Every day and every night. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. There's always tellin' in the big room, Every day and every night. There's always tellin' in the big room, Every day and every night. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. Yeah, people, welcome to the big room Everything's alright. People, welcome to the big room Everything's alright. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. Yeah, people, welcome to the big room Leave your troubles at the door. People, welcome to the big room Leave your troubles at the door. It's alright, It's alright, It's alright. LAST OF A DYING BREED --------------------- I hate to say the farmer Was the last of a dying breed Living off the land And taking what he needs Don't say much for the future When a family can't survive I'd hate to say the farmer Was the last of his kind. In the struggle for power Not one man's voice was sound But the foundation of the conglomerate Is firmly in the ground. Yeah, we want to feed the world But for power and for greed And they'll cut off the supply Until they get what they need. Well, I'd hate to say the farmer Was the last of a dying breed Living off the land And taking what he needs. Don't say much for the future When a family can't survive. I'd hate to say the farmer Was the last of his kind. They'll be ploughing down the White House And be planting for next year. I WONDER WHY ------------ For the love of man Who could understand What goes on What is right and what is wrong Why the angels cry And the heaven's sigh When a child is born to live But not like you and I. Let the angels ring the bells In the holy hall May they hear the voice That calls to them For the love of man Who will understand It's alright I know it's alright. Down the dusty road To the forest church Let wander there Let me wonder why On the ocean wave In the billowing sky Let wander there Let me wonder why. Let the angels ring the bells In the holy hall Let them hear the voice that calls. For the love of man Who will understand It's alright But I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why.
