"Livin' and Lovin' On" lyrics by Eldon McGraw I'm just boppin along singin my same old song And I've got nowhere to go Tainted words and faded hopes Long lost dreams and dried out smokes I hope I've gone too far driving in my car Maybe baby I'll see ya soon Well I'm feeling so good Livin and lovin on we just keep on Livin and lovin Livin and lovin on we just keep on Livin and lovin on Evening gold is fading fast I've gone too far I hope I last Aint on no free ride no ticket to fame This aint gonna be no life without pain Time's gone by right through my soul Don't ever leave my side baby please don't go Well I'm feeling so good Livin and lovin on we just keep on Livin and lovin on Livin and lovin on we just keep on Well I saw the light come into our room It bounced off the walls left a beautiful view On a moonlit night you came into my arms You swore to me there would be no harm Drifting through a long lost haze Temperature is on the rise I hope I make it to you soon Cause our love won't be denied Well I'm feeling so good Livin and lovin on Livin and lovin on we just keep on Livin and lovin on Livin and lovin on we just keep on

Believe It 02:32
"Believe It" lyrics by Eldon McGraw. Jesus Christ I can't believe it Is my mind in tune or bleeding I can't hear the drums But I think they're beating The color of that sound Is very deceiving I just hope, I hope that I won't be needed Whoa whoa whoa what do I hear Whoa whoa whoa I can't believe it The beat keeps getting stronger And the heat won't come to an end And I'm just standin around Cause I don't know where to begin Just one more crack in that smile Might make me go insane The future's so uncertain Except for a little pain Whoa whoa whoa what do I hear Whoa whoa whoa I can't believe it Jesus Christ I can't believe it Is my mind in tune or bleeding I can't hear the drums But I think they're beating The color of the sound Is very deceiving I just hope, I hope that I won't be needed Whoa whoa whoa what do I hear Whoa whoa whoa what do I see Whoa whoa whoa I can't believe it Whoa whoa whoa I cn't belive it

Lyrics by Randy Matthews. BMI. Once I thought life might be fair That everyone could have their share That simple songs would fill the air And make a difference everywhere Then through the haze I caught a glimpse of you There's nobody like you and there's nobody still Once I had found you I knew I could kill You sent me out there though I had my fill Now the time has come and past I want you still but it can't last You want it hard, you want it all But through your eyes I see my fall But still amazed I got my sights on you What can I tell you? What can I say? I want your power almost every day You sent me out there - I wanted to stay Giving up is all a dream To make it work you have to team Heaven and Hell aint what it seems Riding down that one way scree But then again I take my shots on you There's nobody like you and there's nobody still You had me fiending, now you're making me me ill It would have been better if you came in a pill I want your life and I need you still I climbed that last mountain, now there's only a hill You made me, now I'm wanting to kill Why can't I leave you for some other thrill? A thousand ways to make myself chill Your price is too high to put on a bill Now I think I've had my share As my body fills the air Life is but a stop and stare Heaven's here, Hell's everywhere

"Give God Your Money" lyrics by Mike Anderson I used to praise him and his superstar But after watching Sunday tube, I know just how things are He don't want your praise, he don't want your love He don't want obedience, God wants your bucks Give God your money, he can't get enough Cause up in heaven , things are kinda tough Angels on welfare, they need a helping hand Give God your money or you'll be damned God's threatening preachers with certain doom Hid extortion racket is a financial boom Hey, you came through, his disciple didn't die We all made a payment to the gangster in the sky Give God your money or people will die Give God your money - he's through being nice Don't bother praying - write out a check Give God your money or he'll wring some necks It's corrupted leaders. It's corrupted kids. It's corrupted everyone - that's what money did The root of evil is a real vice But I'm afraid the evil's won - it's corrupted Christ Give God your money, don't be proud Just stick it in an envelope and send it to the clouds Don't know the address? Well, give that cash to me! I'll see he gets it, I guarantee

"Land of Plenty" lyrics by Eldon McGraw There's a man workin hard But his kid's got nuthin to eat There's a politician there But he's lying through his teeth Temptation is on the rise Workin for the power and greed Reachin for the golden prize Steppin on those who need I'm losin my way I'm losin my way I'm losing my way in this land of plenty I'm losing my way in this land of plenty Clouds of darkness in the air Gettin darker before they turn grey The air keeps geting thicker While they still have nuthin to say Destruction comin face to face Gaining at a faster pace Walls of pain will remain While margins are going insane I'm losin my way I'm losing my way I'm losin my way in this land of plenty I'm losin my way in this land of plenty Salvation is not far away At least that's what they tell ya Hope is lost on all who pay At least that's what they sell ya The path they want us to take Is separated by two means Their takin us to the limit And cuttin us to the lean I'm losin my way I'm losin my way I'm losin my way in this land of plenty I'm losin my way in this land of plenty I'm losin my way Salvation is not too far away Hope is lost on those who pay I'm losin my way I'm losin my way I'm losin my way in this land of plenty I'm losin my way in this land of plenty I'm losin my way I'm losin my way

"Can't See the Light" lyrics by Tommy Gomez I know that we've been told that we can make it All that we could do was fake a lie They don't need to know what we've been through As long as it's between just me and you It seems as though we've been searchin through life Reachin for something that we couldn't find That's alright, baby that's alright Can't find a dream unless you try Baby my eyes, can't see the light And all we do is fight So let's just agree, to disagree And all we've learned, may turn out right I think we'll both miss a love we had But as time pushes on, baby we'll both look back Back on something, that's not what we think it is now I helped you find your way, you helped me find mine Now we're supossed to leave this world behind But the question still remains Can we ever really say goodbye Baby my eyes, can't see the light And all we do is fight So let's just agree, to disagree And all we've learned, may turn out right Baby my eyes, can't see the light And all we do is fight So let's just agree, to disagree And all we've learned, may turn out right Can't see the light Can't see the light

Life's been goin so fast A crash and burn that's not gonna last I've felt it before but it's been a long time The love I've lost is yours to find I'm falling Into the darkness I'm falling Into the darkness Deep in a dark alley There lies a child bleeding to death There aint no hope in his eyes Nuthin left but a little breath He's falling Into the darkness He's falling Into the darkness When the truth leads man From the pain of it all He'll soon be off the edge Returning to the wailing wall We'll be falling Into the darkness We'll be falling Into the darkness When the need for the greed of the GNP Leads them to believe and succeed With nothing to breed, you'll see They'll be falling Into the darkness

"World Keeps a Balance" lyrics by Jeff Behrendt The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents Death comes packaged in shiny colors Deprived of the choices that are made by others Violence rages to the sound of money People getting screwed and I think it’s funny The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents Covert struggle with plastic lovers Habits stolen from the bed of others Smiling harlots and it sounds like thunder People fall in love when their six feet under The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents Piles of money when your in to win it Lawyer up even if you did it Grey brain matter and spoon-fed grool Wartime profit gonna break the rules The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance The world keeps a balance With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents With the slaughter of the innocents

"Can't Take It Much Longer" lyrics by Eldon McGraw We walk the streets crying freedom every one of us The battles just begun with justice at then end Fists in the air, guns pointed at our heads We will not forget the faces of the dead We can't take it much longer We can't take it much longer Working hard to get through to you But we can't take it much longer Well just when you thought we were givin it all up We came back at you with all that we had And all that we had, well it's not enough But all that we had is makin it tough Can't take it much Can't take it much longer We can't take it much longer Workin hard to get through to you But we can't take it much longer The sun will rise on every one of us But the blood will rise with the falling of the dusk They can run today but they won't hide forever Beause the power of the people is driven by liberty Freedom for the left, freedom for the right Freedom for oppressed, freedom down the line Well just you thought we were givin it all up We came back at you with all that we had And all that we had, well it's not enough But all that we had is makin it tough Can't take it much Can't take it much longer We can't take it much longer Workin hard to get through you But we can't take it much longer In the beginning, it was too good to be true What we always hoped for, well maybe it's through But we won't forget, the sacrifices made And we won't forget, the faces of the dead The world won't forget, what we've done And the world won't forget, what they've Becuase the day will come, when your rule end And the day will come, with justice at the end We can't take it much longer We can't take it much longer We can't take it much longer We can't take it much longer

I Wanna... 02:14
"I Wanna..." lyrics by Mike Anderson. BMI. A big loud amp and a screaming guitar can carry me, carry me so so far Beat a bass and smash the drums Gonna do it til the morning comes Gonna wake up the whole damn black I wanna rock I want some drugs A lung full of smoke and a nose full of coke can keep me happy but always broke I'm in the gutter and I touch the sky I'm oh so low but I'm usually high So my system is full of bugs I want some drugs I want some sex Ain't a better sight in the world then the walk and the stance of a pretty girl But looking ain't enough, I gotta have her stuff If she ain't gonna give in I'm gonna get rough Oh, my life is so triple X I want some sex I wanna kill Got me a knife, got me a gun Now it's time to go out and have some fun If you don't find blood a pretty sight well, close your eyes, it will flow tonight The cops will tell me when I've had my fill I wanna kill

"I Gotta See Your Face" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw I'm drivin down the lost freeway of souls Pressure gettin stronger like you've never know I've got one thing pushin me Faster than I can go I hope you're waiting for me At the end of this long road I gotta see your face I gotta see your face The pain of your past still shows in your face Your infectious smile is gone today Your situation is lost, your glory is gone But nuthin can stop me from this path I'm on I gotta see your face I gotta see your face Your reasons for living are different today Your in control of your life Nuthin can stop you cause there's passion in your play Well go ahead and fight I yeah I gotta see your face I yeah I gotta see your face Well now you're happy but you always want more So go ahead and take it I'm gonna fight right through your arms holded tight Don't you mistake it I yeah I gotta see your face I yeah I gotta see your face
