Paranoic Demon Dances

paranoia scares

paranoia sells

paranoia burns and kills

it will kiss and tell

paranoia do anything

that you need it to

bring the people

to you



paranoia smiles

paranoia frowns

paranoia screams and shouts

it will bring you down

paranoia say anything

that you want it to

bring the people

to you



marching in the angry masses

whipped up in a ragged frenzy

paranoiac demon dances

evil words are necessary

vote for me i'll save our country

vote for him we all will die

vote for fear 'cause fear will save you

forget about the other side



paranoia loves

paranoia hates

paranoia twists the words

burns truth at the stake

paranoia be anything

that you want it to

bring the people

to you



marching in the angry masses

whipped up in a ragged frenzy

paranoiac demon dances

evil words are necessary

vote for me i'll save our country

vote for him we all will die

vote for fear 'cause fear will save you

forget about the other side

You Got

you got
time to spend
so what's your flavor
sugar sweet
or do you savor
are you sure
or will you waver

you got
lots of cash
but got no vision
passing on
your indecision
you want cheers
but get derision

(bridge)
you got it made
but you just don't get it
the bills are paid
but you don't feel any better

you make
lots of noise
but you don't hear it
scream for war
but won't go near it
speak the lie
'cause you don't fear it

(bridge)
you got it made
but you just don't get it
the bills are paid
but you don't feel any better

All I Know Is What You've Told Me

all i know is what you've told me
and you haven't said a word
you're the enigma
in most every song i've heard
i seek the mystery
but you do not let me in
i have your music
so i listen yet again

You've Got Your Own Voice

the world goes by
just like a song
you can't help yourself
you're singin' along
then comes the chorus
and somehow you just don't know
it's so hard to face
the words that go by
you try to relate
but however you try
what seems so right to some
just sounds so wrong

you've got your own voice
you've got your own words
speak your own truth
not something you've heard
if the song is yours
you know the way to go
you've got your own dreams
you've got your own hope
sing your own tune
hear your own voice
if the melody shines
then you just can't go wrong
