Lyrics:
living in a poor man's house
He arrives at nine as the work bell's ringing
And he hits the grind but his heart is singing, yeah
Some men live for
river by moonlight
And never were heard from again
If I had my live to live over
I'd have gone to work that day
Instead of going into town
I live my life to please myself
Don't worry about nobody else
If you love the life you live, live it all by yourself
I go to work, yes every day
of lard
I would buy more but the times is too hard
And I don't see why I have to work so hard
I can live off the chickens in my neighbor's yard
I got
a steady homing beam
Our ears are balked by stiffled moans
And howls of desolation from the throats of sisters, brother, wild men
Clawing at the gates for
Five hundred men sacked for refusing to ever cross a picket line
The voices down the ages warning "never cross a picket line"
You must never cross
all right
Through the longest night
Just silence everything
But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
for so long now he wouldn't know how to talk to men outside
And though it's the life he lives for he fears the day the gates swing open wide
This is
what we say
We used to dance
The night away
Me and my sister
Me and my brother
We used to walk
Down by the river
Mama lives in Mandeville
I can
what we say
We used to dance
The night away
Me and my sister
Me and my brother
We used to walk
Down by the river
Mama lives in Mandeville
I can
here belong, and standing strong, wrong ain't got a chance
Day by day, work or play, ready side by side
Hello friend, come on in, the gate is open
what we say
We used to dance
The night away
Me and my sister
Me and my brother
We used to walk
Down by the river
Mama lives in Mandeville
I can
Stoller
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard till
Vanzetti spoke both day and night,
Told the workers how to fight.
I'll tell you if you ask me
'Bout this payroll robbery;
Two clerks was killed by
don't think about it
It's alright
If you don't look at it, it's alright
How time slips away
Live by the good book
That's what the wise men say
But
the night
I was gone by the first sign of the light
When it's dark out
I search for love but don't find it
Just sex and drugs but don't mind it
Because
On the way to dedicate a battlefield
Where men from the north and south
Had died at Gettysburg Pennsylvania
Four score and seven years ago our
Forefathers
read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too
occasionally
Live close by, visit often
That'll work, that'll work for me
Live close by, visit often
Save us both a lot of misery
You fix me
nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage deep from the Green Beret
Repeat 1st Chorus
Delta Force and CIA
you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men
slips away
Live by the good book
That's what the wise men say
But where does it leave us
Were they right or were they wrong
Gotta have hope
Gotta
me, c'mon
And make your neck work
Now freeze (uh-huh, oh)
Here come the Men in Black (Men in Black)
Galaxy defenders (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Here come
you read the news today?
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
There's too many men
