LYRICS: BLOOD FOR KALI
*******99%*******
How long can we keep on standing tall
Rising after they made us fall
How much longer do we need to feel small
Before a change is a comin'
How long can we sit here and wait
Bail out problems we didn't create
How much longer do we need to stay enslaved
Before a change is a comin'
Stand up & raise your voice
Break this silent discontent
Stand up & raise your voice
We're the 99%
How long can we bend before we break
Cleaning up their failures & mistakes
How much longer can we afford to wait
Before a change is a comin'
How long can we forgive & forget
All their promises that were never met
How stupid do we really have to get
Before a change is a comin'
Stand up & raise your voice
Break this silent discontent
Stand up & raise your voice
We're the 99%
*******Against The Grain*******
Hold me now baby please don't let go
I know it's crazy now we both know
It went wrong. Oh so wrong
It feels like we're livin' against the grain
Days became lonely, nights turned so cold
You know if only we get this solved
We'd move on. Can we move on?
It feels like we're livin' against the grain
You must also feel it's easier to forgive than to forget
Even though we try it's here eating us inside
Don't tell me there's no distance growin' between us
Oh my sweet girl
Why do we keep on livin' against the grain?
Time is a healin', I'm waitin' in vain
We know our feelings can't handle this pain
We're not that strong. Are we that strong?
It feels like we're livin' against the grain
I don't know what more I can say or do to fix this
I have to let it go & hope we fall back into place
The harder I try, the more I push us deeper into this mess
Oh my sweet girl
How long can we keep on livin' against the grain?
We don't need to live against the grain
*******Blood For Kali*******
I've got one foot in my cradle, one in my grave
Somewhere in the middle I became a slave
It brings me whoo … it brings me way down low
Here's my blood for Kali
So sticks & stones won't break my bones
I've got one foot in my future, one in my past
Somewhere in the middle this present doesn't last
It brings me whoo … it brings me way down low
Here's my blood for Kali
So sticks & stones won't break my bones
I've got one foot in my heaven, one in my hell
Somewhere in the middle I only walk uphill
It brings me whoo … Oh my baby, my sweet baby
It brings me way down low
Here's my blood for Kali
So sticks & stones won't break my bones
*******Consolin' Blues*******
Don't you worry now, don't you worry now
It's gonna be fine, just fine
Don't hang your head down, don't hang your head down
It'll be alright, alright
Tomorrow brings a new day, let's call it a night
Try to move on, try to move on
Don't you break down, break down
The more you let go, the more you let go
The less you'll mind, don't mind
Tomorrow brings a new chance, to leave things behind
When all is dark & troubled, you're about to let go
Take this song, this song. Take this song, this song
It's here to console your soul
When all seems lost & hopeless, you're heading for a fall
Take this song, this song. Take this song, this song
It's here to console your soul
So don't you worry now, don't you worry now
It's gonna be fine, just fine
Don't hang your head down, don't hang your head down
It'll be alright, alright
Tomorrow brings a new day, let's call it a night
Tomorrow brings a new day, so goodnight
*******Don't You Cry*******
Hush now baby everything's gonna be alright
Don't you worry, I stay here by your side
Soon we'll get through this storm
Come here let me keep you warm
Hush now baby everything's gonna be alright
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
When our boat will reach the shore
Oh no trouble anymore
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
Hush now baby, try'n be strong
Let's play a game or maybe sing a song
Or let me tell you something funny
'Bout your new land of milk & honey
Hush now baby, try'n be strong
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
When our boat will reach the shore
Oh no trouble anymore
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
Hush now baby, try'n close your eyes
Fall asleep & dream your new life
When I wake you up
We'll have our struck of luck
Hush now baby, try'n close your eyes
So don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
When our boat will reach the shore
Oh no trouble anymore
Don't you cry little angel, don't you weep
*******Hangover Man*******
I woke up this mornin' my throat was sore
All was blank about the night before
Through my head roars a steel freight train
Today I'm the hangover man
I stumble my way to the coffee machine
I load up my water with aspirin
Yesterday liquor was my best friend
Today I'm the hangover man
Hangover man, hangover man
Last night I was king of the land
Hangover man, hangover man
Oh show some mercy for the hangover man
When it all comes back to me I know why
I'm so ashamed & about to die
I'll never drink or smoke again
Today I'm the hangover man
Here's my sorry to my boss & friends
For what I've said, the mails I've sent
Tomorrow I'll be sober again
Nevermore the hangover man
Hangover man, hangover man
Last night I was king of the land
Hangover man, hangover man
Oh show some mercy for the hangover man
*******Lovestrong Revisited*******
When the levee breaks & the water runs high
Stick with me baby & I'll keep you dry
So strong, so strong
You know my love for you is so strong
When lightnin' strikes hard, setting fire to the sky
Call out my name, I'll keep the flames out of sight
So strong, so strong
You know my love for you is so strong
When the ground begins to shake, you can hear the devil call
Don't you be afraid, I will catch you when you'll fall
So strong, so strong
You know my love for you is so strong
When it's all so quiet, everything feels right
Turn your head baby & I'll be by your side
So strong, so strong
You know my love for you is so strong
So strong, so strong
You know my love for you now baby is so strong
Don't you worry no more
Our dog days are over & done
*******Reckonin' Blues*******
Oh rain keeps on fallin', all night long pourin' down on me
Rain keeps on fallin', all night long pourin' down on me
If there's no higher ground, oh now babe we'll be washed to the sea
Oh storm is a comin', look over yonder thunder & lightnin' all around
Storm is a comin', look over yonder, thunder & lightnin' all around
You better start to pray, oh now gal we'll need sacred ground
She's hunting us down. She's bound to take our lives
If we don't change we won't survive
Wind is howlin', hear her calling, calling out our name
And she'll have no mercy, oh now child for what we became
She's hunting us down. she's bound to take our lives
If we don't change, we won't survive
Wind is howlin', hear her calling, calling out our name
And she'll have no mercy, oh now child, for what we became
*******Runnin' Back To You*******
Ever since we've met you rule my soul
I can't quit you or rise after our fall
So I keep on runnin', runnin' back to you
No matter how I turn, every road leads back to you
Bad luck & trouble we had our share
I can't cut you loose or stop to love & care
So I keep on runnin', runnin' back to you
No matter how I turn, every road leads back to you
My sweet black angel you're on my mind
I can't give you up, you're one of a kind
So I keep on runnin', runnin' back to you
No matter how I turn, every road leads back to you
My sweet black angel you're the one for me
I can't block you out, only you can set me free
So I keep on runnin', runnin' back to you
No matter how I turn, every road leads back to you
Ever since we've met you rule my soul
I can't quit you or rise after our fall
So I keep on runnin', oh my baby back to you
No matter how I turn, every road leads back to you
And it hurts to know you feel the same way too
*******Yser*******
There's a river in my country
Only water flowin' to the sea
But that river once set us free
Let me take you to its levee's,
Let's walk through its poppy fields
Now hush & peaceful it feels unreal
See the soldiers in their trenches
Feel the cold mud of no man's land
Hear the Last Post for the cursed & damned
And I don't know if we will make it
I don't know if we're meant to be
If this river can make a difference, so can we
Oh my sweet baby, walk with me
There's a river in my country
Once so strong to flood & drain
Maybe that's why it has iron in its name
Let me take you to its lock gates
Let's drive through its green lands
Now calm & quiet it's hard to understand
And if this river has the power
To make an army fall apart
I'll be strong enough to win your heart
Oh my sweet baby, why don't you flood my heart
