Fight For Your Mind lyrics

Yes indeed I'm, alone again
And here comes emptiness, crashing in
Its either love or hate, I can't find in between
'Cause I've been with witches and I've been with the queen

It wouldn't have worked out anyway
So now it's just another lonely day
hey, hey
Further along, we just may
But for now it's just another lonely day

Wish there was something I, could say or do

Let us burn one, from end to end
And pass it over to me my friend
Burn it long, but burn it slow, to light me up before I go
If you dont like my fire, then dont come around
Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

Yeah

My choice is what i choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be

Don't you get ahead of me
And I won't leave you behind
If you get unhappy
Won't you show me a sign

There's no love like lost love
No pain like a broken heart
There's no love like you and me
And no loss like us apart

Promises, promise is
Only a word
And when softly spoken
Is never heard

And a heart
Is not a stone
And is fragile, is fragile
When alone

By my side
By my side

Ah, excuse me Mr.
Do you have the time?
Or are you so important
That it stands still?

Excuse me Mr.
Won't you lend me your ear?
Are you not only blind,
But do you not hear?

Excuse me Mr.
But isn't that your oil in the sea?
And the pollution in the air, Mr.
Whose could that be?
So excuse me Mr.
But, uh, I'm Mr. too
And you're giving Mr. a bad name
Mr. like you

So I'm takin' the Mr.

if your gonna live, then live it up
and if your gonna give, then give it up
if your gonna walk the earth, better walk it proud
and if your gonna say the word, you got to say it loud

said you got to fight fight fight for your mind
while you got the time
you got fight fight fight for your mind

if your gonna build a house, make it a home
if your gonna pull some weight, pull your own

Have you ever lost your way
have you ever feared another day
have you ever misplaced your whole mind
watching this world leavin' you behind

won't you
won't you give
won't you give a man
give a man a home

have you ever worn thin
have you ever never known where to begin
have you ever lost your belief
watching your faith turn to grief

won't you
won't you give
won't you give a man

God Fearing Man

Listen mister brother sister
family and friend
I fear with each day pass
our time grows closer to the end

listen stranger passer by
and those I never knew
there's not one day that you are living
has been promised to you

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach out for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

listen mother sister brother
relatives and kin

You look like gold to me
And I'm not too blind to see
Ah, you look like gold
Said you look like gold
And you make me want to sing
With all the joy you bring
Ah, you look like gold
Ah, you look like gold

Like the rays down from the sun
When a new day has just begun
You look like gold
You look like gold

Now looka here
Cause I've been fooled before
But now I know
I made the mistake in the past

I believe in a few things
God, the devil and love
But I looked from the bottom
And I've stared down from above
And I have faith in a few things
Divinity and grace
But even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays
And you're workin' your way
From the ground on down

I hate to say I love you
Because it means that I will be
With your forever
Or we'll sadly say goodbye
And I love to say I hate you

Tell me which road are you travelling
which road are you travelling on
tell me who will you turn to
when the light has gone
I hear somebody calling
I hear somebody calling to me
with so many roads to travel
there's just one can set you free

there's just one road
one road to freedom
there's just one road
one road to freedom
just one

in my life I have been blessed
in my life I have been cursed

Oppression, you pray on us when we sleep
Oppression, you chase after the tired, the poor, the weak
Oppression, you know you mean only harm
Opression, you reach out with your long arm.
But Oppression, I wont let you near me, oh no
Opression, you shall learn to fear me, yes you will

Oppression, you seek population control
Oppression, to divide and to conquer is your goal

People Lead

When the people lead
the leaders they will have to follow
and all their lies and their alibies
they will have to swallow
and it's you that has the authority
for the one who is right
is the majority

when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray

so as long as someone else
controls your history

Don't do me any favors.
Matter of fact, why don't you do yourself a few?
Your presence, it ain't nobody's blessing.
I've got plenty of other things that I could do.

Oh, oh, not another excuse.
Your tired, silly games for me are just no use.
And now it's plain for me to see:
You're with somebody that you don't want to be.

(chorus:) So won't you: please please me like you want to

It will make a weak man mighty
It will make a mighty man fall
It will fill your heart and hands
Or leave you with nothing at all
It's the eyes for the blind
The legs for the lame
It is the love for hate
and pride for shame

Now that's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the gospel
That's the power of the mighty power
That's the power of the gospel

Gospel on the water
Gospel in the trees
