1. WHEN THE HAMMER FALLS

Yes
I got a cold, cold feelin'
Dance
Dancin' on hell's ceilin'
I move to the side, I lengthen my stride
I saw the big one comin'
Oh
Right now, I'm scared and runnin'
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be
I don't wanna be--there
When the hammer falls--down
Yeah, when the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls down
Nails your balls to the ground
When the hammer falls--down
Yeah
You got away with that one
Now --you listen
You got away with nothin'
'Cause when the pendulum swings
A new dawn brings light of day
Oh
Right now it's swingin' your way
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be--there
When the hammer falls--down
Oh, when the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls down
Nails your balls to the ground
When the hammer falls--down
Yeah
everything is all right
sure Soundss all right, sure looks all right, and it smells alright
whooo, so it's got to be all right, ah ha
Yeah, but you know you'll be walking down the street
thinkin thinkin everything is all right
Cause it looks all right, It's got to be all right
But,
That's when karma can come around the corner
and smack you in the face
Like an eighteen pound sledge
Yeah
When the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls--down
Oh, when the hammer falls down
I don't wanna be around
When the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls--down
Down, down, down, down
When the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls--down
When the hammer falls--down


2. HANDS AND KNEES

You seem to like it
When I'm down
Kinda makes you feel tall
Step right up
Stand on me
I'll learn how to crawl
You treat me so unkind
This may seem way outta line
I'll get down on my hands an knees
If you want me to
Oh, I'm crawling on my hands an knees
Crawling back to you
Oh, that's all I want to do
Can't understand
What keeps me hooked
It's like I'm chained and tied
A slave to love
She's gotta whip across my back
I've had to swallow my pride
'Cause when she turns away
I got to have a shot every day
I'll get down on my hands an knees
If you want me to
Yeah, I'm crawling on my hands and knees
Tryin' to get to you
That's all I want to do
Yeah, you treat me so unkind
This may seem way outta line
I'll get down on my hands an knees
Crawling back to you
Yeah, I'll get down on my hands an knees
If you want me to
I'm crawling on my hands an knees
Tryin to get to you


3. GIVE TO LIVE

Oooh
I can see that you've got fire in your eyes
And pain inside your heart
So many things have come and torn your world apart
Oh baby, baby, baby, don't give up, don't give up
don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
Ohhh, you've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give.....to live
An empty hand reaching out for someone
An empty heart takes so little to fill
It's so much easier to push instead of pull
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
Ohhh, you've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give....to live
Each man's a country in his own right
Oh, every body needs a friend
One friend, one God, one country
No man need defend
I believe in fate and destination
But so much of that lies in our own hands
If you know what you want, just go on out and get it
Oh baby, baby
Don't give up, don't give up
Yeah, yeah
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
You want love
You've got to give
If you want love
Give to live
You've got to give to live
Give to live
Give to live
If you want love
If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give


4. BOYS'NIGHT OUT

I'm sorry baby if my mood's been changin'
But my social life nees some rearrangin', yeah
Well, I got nothin' against my ole lady but
Every now and then, a man's gotta get out and
get crazy
I need a boys' night out
That's all baby
Boys' night out
We'll do some drinkin' maybe hurt ourselves
real bad
I guarantee the best time that we ever had
So don't stay up 'cause I'll be out all night
Don't try and see me 'cause I'll be outta sight
One more boys' night out
Boys' night out

Now, what do you say fellas, one mote
Boys' night out
That's all fellas
Boys' night out

If we get too high you know baby we just might
I need help
Boys' night out
Boys' night out
One more boys' night out, boys' night out
Uhhhhhh
Boys' night out

5. RETURNING HOME

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A touch of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Returning home
Once this place was paradise
Green and blue colors of the sea
It's still alive so it shall return
Eventually, oh, oh, oh
The sacred builders, the chosen ones
Have learned to live and let live
Once you take what's there to share
You've got to give, you got to give
Oh, don't let the changes get you down
You'll see the this world turned upside down
If you listen, you'll hear the word
When it comes around, when it comes around
Yeah
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A touch of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
Yeah-I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Oh
Look around, there's work to do
A new life for the chosen few
The world sings in the same key, sweet harmony
Just when you thought you had it made
With fool's gold the road was paved
And circles get so big and wide
You can't see to the other side, other side
Oh, the long journey wore me down
To see this world turned upside down
There'll be some time before things
-Settle down-
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A touch of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Returning home, yeah
Oh, don't let the changes get you down, no
You'll see the world turned upside down
If you listen, you'll hear the word
When it comes around, when it comes around
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A tough of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Returning home, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
Coming home
I saw the ruins
Coming home
I saw the smoke clear
Coming home
I felt the world turn upside down
Coming home
Oh-
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home


6. STANDIN' AT THE SAME OLD CROSSROADS

Yeah
Oh, looked so easy, baby
Out there on your own
It sure looked so easy
Out there on my own
It's funny how the world looks
When you're almost grown, almost grown,
almost grown
Don't worry about nothin'
You got nothin' to lose
Well things can stay that easy, baby
Depending on the road you choose, the road
you choose, the road you choose
Standin' at the crossroads
Standin' at the crossroads, baby
Same old crossroads
Same old crossroads, yeah


7. PRIVACY

Drivin' down that highway
In my automobile
Drivin', drivin', drivin'
Got both hands on the wheel
Got my eyes on the road
Dustin' off white lines
The man's got his eye on me
And that's in invasion of my privacy
It's our last form of sanctuary
Behind blacked out glass
Say, who's that in there?
That boy's drivin' much too fast
Yeah, and he's got some real fine wheels out there
I bet you paid through the nose
Yeah, they're checkin' up on me
And that's an invasion of my privacy
Yeah, drive
Yeah, out in the streets--no privacy
In my own bedroom--no privacy
On the telephone--no privacy
In the back of my car--no privacy
I can't get no
I can't give me no
I can't give me no privacy
Drivin', drivin', drivin',
Got my troubles on hold
Just drivin' down that highway
My fossil fuel's good as gold
I'm lookin for that long lost road
No sign of man, no sign of life
Where you can't catch me
To invade upon my privacy
Oh--you can't catch me
And invade upon my privacy
Drive, drive, drive
Privacy, sanctuary
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Privacy, sanctuary
Drive, drive, drive, drive


8. BACK INTO YOU

20/20
There's nothin' wrong with my vision
Yet I can't see to make a good decision
I can hear alright
Except for good advice
If I blow it once, it ain't gonna happen twice
I hate to say it
But I never should have let you go
But now I'm back to let you know
I'm back into you
All the way inside
Back into you
Every inch this time
I'm back into you
'Cause I've played around
But now my aim is true
And it feels so good to be back
I'm back into you
Strange people
Make me a little bit shy
A familiar face
Always catches my eye
Socially
I like to hang out in the comfort zone
'Cause when it comes to love, baby
I got to feel at home
I hate to say it
But I never should have let you go
But now I'm back to let you know
I'm back into you
All the way inside
Back into you
Every inch this time
I'm back into you
'Cause I've played around
But now my aim is true
And it feels so good to be back
Back into you
First time around
I know it was hard on you
Now I'm back
To follow through
Back into you
All the way inside
I'm back into you
Every inch this time
Back into you
'Cause I've played around
But now my aim is true
And it feels so good to be back
I'm back into you
All the way inside
Back into you
Every inch this time
Back into you
All the way
Back into you, baby
Back into you


9. EAGLES FLY

Sunday morning 9 a.m.
I saw fire in the sky
I felt my heart pound in my chest
I heard an eagle cry
Now I'm alive I can breathe the air
Feel the wind, smell the earth in the air
I watch an eagle rise above the trees
Project myself into what he sees
Hey
Take me away
Come on and fly me away
Take me up so high
Where eagles fly
I oftem dream I sail through the sky
I've always wished I could fly
The simple life of a bird on the wing
Oh Lord, I could sing
Take me away
Come on fly me away
Lift me up so high
Where eagles fly
Oh yeah
I'm alive, I breathe the air
Wash the earth from my face
I catch a glimpse of another dream
I turn, I look but there's no trace
Take me away
Come on, fly me away
I wanna fly away
Pick me up so high
Where eagles fly
Oh yeah
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Come on, let's fly away where eagles fly
Come on, fly away where eagles fly


10. WHAT THEY GONNA SAY NOW

People keep tellin' me
Better save your money, babe
Save it for a rainy day
And I say
Let it rain 'cause
It sure ain't money, babe
Cause me to say what I say
I been criticized
Fir the way I look
The way I play, the way I sing
Say what'cha want
From way down there
'Cause up here it's got a bullshit ring
I'm not concerened
What I read
What I hear
What the future holds
I take my chances
Blow by blow
Because the truth has yet to be told
Well, I just don't know
What they gonna say now
Watching these politicians
Swim in a sea of sharks
One of 'em's got blood on his hands
Everyone scrambles
Just to save his own ass
The opposition moves in and makes demands
A full investigation
Maybe a resignation
No matter what the cost
Ir's not for the country, no
Two terms in a row
The democrats have lost
But I'm not concerened
What I see
What I hear
It's all bought and sold
I just believe
What I wanna believe
Because the truth is yet to be told
Well, I just don't know
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now
We'lll pay tomorrow for the power today
We'll run you down if you stand in our way
But I'm not concerned
What I hear
What I read
It's all bought and sold
I just believe
What I wanna believe
Because the truth is yet to be told
Well, I just don't know
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now
(Etc.)
