Like It Really Is

Some want to tell it like it really is
Some want to hear it like it ought to be (yeah)
Sometimes we talk it over
Sometimes we work it out
Sometimes we walk away not talking
A little bit crazy with some words you gotta be careful
Words move minds and mens minds are moving mountains
Don't call it the truth when it's just an opinion
Some words baby likely make you turn up missing
But I can't give ya what I ain’t got
And sorry seems to count for not a lot
But you can see As for you and me
Can’t get to 4 5 6 before we figure out the 1 2 3
Right on baby, make em think twice about it
Right on baby, hit 'em where they really live
If I know what you're saying
If you know who you're talking to
Good luck baby you never gonna know who's listening
On the Tv. It's black and white
Both sides sell a story and they came to fight
But Im not bleeding for what I don't believe in
So don't call me out unless you know what I'm about within
Some want to HEAR it like it really is
Some want to TELL it like it ought to be (yeah)
Sometimes we talk it over
Sometimes we work it out
Sometimes we walk away not talking

I Know How

What I’ve got to say this evening
Has probably been said before
I'm in tune with all my demons
You can listen or just hit the door
All my lines are baited and down
And I’m waiting for just one to bend
Even then I’ll keep on doing what I do
And I will not pretend
And I'll do this thing the only way that I know how
Cause this ain't Mozart but baby, how you like me now?
She's watching the movie big-shot carpet
Then she's looking over here at me
And she can tell I'm somewhat coarser
Than the shiny fellas on TV
But I don't need a wing-ding jacket
With a dollar sign on my lapel
Just gimme Goodwill jeans and a tee-shirt
And I'll show you how to wear it well
And I'll do this thing the only way that I know how
Cause this ain't Dolce, but baby how you like me now?
But I never mean nobody no harm
Hell I'm trying just to get along
A little better than yesterday
If I like it then you know I'll stay
And I'll do this thing the only way that I know how
Unapologetically baby how you like me now?

Loaded Gun

I was born in the land of the loaded gun
Of the loaded gun of the loaded gun
It was how we kept the peace and how the west was won
But now there's been plenty trouble here oh lord
I was raised to believe you gotta take it on the chin
You gotta take it on the chin Take it on the chin
And if you're starting a fight you'd better know you can win but
We've been losing ever since oh lord
Everybody got excited bout the hope and change
But we're standing at the wrong end of the rifle range
The politicians argue bout the legal right
But they never get consensus so they never make it right
Solo/Interlude
Now we tell our sons and daughters don't you talk to strangers
Don't you talk to strangers Don't you talk to strangers
In the land of the armed and the home of the dangerous
You keep to yourself for sure
Everybody knows it's a natural fact that
You can't be thinking forward if you gotta watch your back
Don't matter the statistics at the end of the day
Cause you never get one over on the NRA
I was born in the land of the loaded gun
Where we shoot for fun come and get you some
When it comes to pulling triggers yeah we're second to none
And there's plenty trouble here oh lord oh lord
When it comes to pulling triggers yeah we're second to none
And there's plenty trouble here oh lord

Sanctuary

Recognize my face
I don't even think I
can today
Ressurect my name
Maybe for tomorrow
Cause I'm so very tired
So listen to the rain
Nothing left to hide
We at last divided
Thank you for the Sanctuary
Time has let me know
That time has come to go
And find myself some Sanctuary
A place to shut my eyes
After last goodbyes
I thank you for the Sanctuary
It wasn't meant to be
and now it's up to me
To find myself some Sanctuary
If I weren’t so mad
I could never leave the past behind
So this is what they mean
To hit rock bottom
And start to rise again
And without certainty of my sanity
I shut this door behind me
This is what I mean, that I have found a way out
Cause I'm so very tired
Listen to the rain
Nothing left to hide
We at last divided
Thank you for the Sanctuary
Time has let me know
That time has come to go
And find myself some Sanctuary
And if anything then I know what you're thinking
And if you take me then it won't be by surprise
A word that means forever
And I reclaim my life
For worse or for the better
