I’ve done my hard luck work today My legs are out, my back’s in flame All those headaches could make me cry I sit on my throne to change my life Come on “The Revolution Chair” There is no time to lose… Give the best of you! I can’t stand all that good food wasted I hate the way they show their wealth The people are living in misery Explain to me why I shouldn't have to sit here Come on “The Revolution Chair” There is no time to lose… Give the best of you! The world goes ‘round the wrong way Nobody sees, nobody says We only want to save our lives To be sure we’ll never die Come on “The Revolution Chair” There is no time to lose… Give the best of you!

Hey now baby, baby baby don’t cry Hey now baby, baby baby don’t cry Do you want another man or another child to grow up? Hey now baby, all that she wants is all I need Hey now baby, all that she wants is all I need She’s so fine, she’s the best Every night she’s in my dreams Hey now Baby, once in the morning , twice on the bed Hey now Baby, once in the morning , twice on the bed If we got married, all this lovin’ would end Every time I found the way Every time I tried to escape with a move to avoid to fall in your trap again Hey now baby, baby baby don’t cry Hey now baby, baby baby don’t cry Do you want another man or another child to grow up?

I went down the road taking care to toe the line I went down the road taking care to toe the line By the time I got home I just felt I was about to cry Step by step, step by step I learned how to tie a tie Step by step, step by step I learned how to tie a tie I went down the road taking care to toe the line Every day I’m wrong but sometimes I feel strong I can tell you all the truth then a lie I’m done, I’m done with everything made me feel alright I’m done, I’m done with everything seemed to make me feel alright Step by step I was alone, step by step I learned how to lie Every day I’m wrong but sometimes I feel strong I can tell you all the truth then a lie

I don’t have any time, I don’t have a chance There is nothing but cry Looking for a better place All my life is a train that gives off hurt and pain When I look at the time It always seems too late In the morning I feel alright In the night I take everything with me in a grave All my life is a plane which lands down and takes off again I don’t have any time, I can’t see sunny days One pairs of boots, the same old coat Now the wind is putting sand in my throat All my life had stormy days, if it stops to blow it’ll start to rain

Black Crow 03:39
A black crow flies on me A black crow flies on me Well, I spoke about my past A black crow flies on me I don’t think that a black crow Can see me when I’m going When they talk about my faults A black crow flies on me I don’t fear a black crow Sharp straight beak, flaying low Since I told about myself A black crow flies on me

Taxi Blues 02:52
I heard my work phone ringin’ I was tired of reading the news That sound makes me feel happy That voice made me feel good I tell the truth in my taxi blues. I went as fast as I could The horn was working too I stopped with a handbrake turn Everybody thought “he’s really cool” I tell the truth in my taxi blues. Got into my car She wore tight high black boots Her skin smelled so nice I fell down into the mood at once I tell the truth in my taxi blues.

You threw it all away because you were tired It’s a kind of depression that brings tears to my eyes But that all keeps me moving and makes me stronger Possession of you It was not enough to have been careful, honest, I wanted to give you more It’s a hard life without you, especially since you said I’m dangerous But that all keeps me changing and makes me stronger Possession of you Sometimes I feel such a loser Sometimes I feel confused I shouldn’t have been so involved in your life as I was All my displays of affection that you mistook for protection But that all keeps me moving and makes me stronger Possession of you But that all keeps me changing and makes me stronger Possession of you

When the sun comes down, comes down with my minds When the sun comes down, comes down with my minds All my troubles stay in my head, however I feel alright The sun comes down, when she sees bright lights The sun comes down, when she sees bright lights Now I stand on the precipice, yes I’m sure I can fly I worked all time, babe, I should feel sick and tired I worked all time, babe, I should feel sick and tired I’ve already spent my money, I think I’m goin’ to work tonight All my troubles stay in my head, although I feel alright

Two Sisters 04:03
Two sisters I had enough Two sisters, I had enough of living in my home with two sisters I had enough Two sisters I had enough Two sisters, I had enough of sharing all my love between two sisters I had enough But now these walls are tight on me, then I’ll be gone to another town Two sisters I had enough Two sisters, I got tired of all this mess around, at this point I had enough But now these walls are tight on me, then I’ll be gone to another town Why I got two sisters I don’t need two sisters Why I got two sisters I can’t hold two sisters Once I loved two sisters, Now I don’t want two sisters Why I got to sister, I don’t want two sisters
