PUT ME UNDER

VERSE 1

Fiction or fact, Caught in the act

As you cheer for the revolution

I hear what you say, tell us what you mean

When you begin your execution

VERSE 2

Stairway to heaven

Stairway to hell

You choose your own direction

Listen to me son before you pick up the gun

Theres more than one solution

CHORUS

Take me, Take me to the water

Want you, want you call me brother

Take me, take me to the water

Want you , Put me down under

VERSE 3

Sin is a sin, no matter where you been

It's all the same to Jesus

Did you listent to he man

As he spoke of the plan

Or, did you decide to leave us?

CHORUS

PROMISED LAND

They send us off to fight there war

Me and Billy,Tom and George

Can't they see that were just kids

We prey to God these bullets miss

When I send my letters home

Never really tell whats going on

Not until the day I die

Do I want my mom to cry

CHORUS

Going to the promised land

Gonna see all my friends again

Going to the promised land

The lord is waiting to take my hand

I remember when I was young

Plastic bullets , Plastic gun

Mom would kiss the pain away

Now I lay dying in the rain

CHORUS

NOW LET UP PREY

VERSE 1

Did you know your sister walks the streets at night hiding from the pain

And your brother lives in a cardboard box down on 34th and main

And your mother cries herself to sleep ,wondering if your there

And your father is nowhere to be seen,he got the electric chair

Now, were all in this one for all, this world we gotta share

If you should see a soul in need, have you got the time to spare

Crippled children in Bosnia,there's bombings in the street

Junkie mother gets the news, her baby is H.I.V

CHORUS

Now let us prey

Lets get it on, let's try another way

Close your eyes , it will never go away

Now let us prey

VERSE 2

Noone understands why I write these depressing songs

But why the hell should Ipretend there isnt anything wrong

This isn't Michael Bolton no, it isnt country too

I'm just giving it to you straight my friend, cause I saw it in the news

Now, tell me can you be honest?

Not hide behind your fears

Tell me are you happy

Who wipes away your tears

Tell us who you really are

Does no one see you true

I don't want to bring you bad news baby

Just trying to see you through

CHORUS

DOWN

VERSE 1

Mama can you help me

Seems I've done it again

Trouble seems to follow me around

Around around again

Around around again

Brother can you help me

Seems I've lost my way

I know I've asked so many times

O' please don't make me stay

O' please don't make me stay

CHORUS

Down, down, down on my luck again

Down, down going down again

VERSE 2

Well I done it all by myself

Noone to blame but me

And felling sorry for myself

Well, it got me up shit creek

Mama tired to tell me

My brother, he told me so

My daddy, he just kicked me

Said out the door you go

Out the door you go

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Got no future

Lost my wife

Got no reason

Got no life

Lost all my friends

I'm afaraid it's true

Can I come and live with you?

CHORUS

LET'S TALK

Let's talk about your feeling's

The way you feel inside

Let's talk about your consience

What your trying to hide

And what about your mother

The way you made her cry

Let's talk about compassion

Can you spare a dime

How about forgiveness

Have you got the time

Dont forget your father

How you broke his heart

Did you make'm suffer

Destroy there views

Tell me are you happy

With the life you chose

NEVER SAW THE END

VERSE 1

I saw the falling angel

As she fell down to the earth

Sad wings of destiny

In death begins rebirth

I saw the night turn so black

It made men cry

I felt the sorrow of

The one's who asked me why

CHORUS

But I never saw, the hammer fall

I never heard it land

I never saw the hammer fall

I never saw, I never saw the end

VERSE 2

I saw the soldiers marching

Marching off to war

Can you hear their mothers cry

As they fall down to the floor

Did you hear your sister scream

As your dad creeped up the stairs

Or , did you turn your back as if he wasnt there

CHORUS
