Down by the river, I shot my baby dead.
You're all just pissing in the wind. You don't know it, but you are.
Wooden ships are a hippie dream, capsized in excess if you know what I mean.
Nothing is perfect in God's perfect plan.
Music is fulfilling. The next day you feel better. Drugs, the next day you feel terrible -- unless you have more drugs.
I got religion in the airport, my Lord. They caught me waiting on my baggage when I was bored.
I'm free to give my love, but you're not the one I'm thinking of.
Got to fight to control the violent side, every day and night.
On one side the government, the other side the mob.
A little love and affection in everything you do will make the world a better place with or without you.
Let's roll for justice, let's roll for truth. Let's not let our children grow up fearful in their youth.
Went looking for faith on the forest floor, and it showed up everywhere. In the sun, and the water, and the falling leaves, the falling leaves of time.
And you can't get away from a mirror if you stand in front of it all the time, right. But if you step away from it, you don't notice it any more. And that's what the stage is like for me. See, an image becomes meaningless in as much as it's always temporary.
Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we're going. There's something ahead worth fighting for.
