Echo the hollow
Platitudes, platitudes Trust in me I’ll care for you The other guy is killing you Platitudes, platitudes Mind explodes, screeching and screaming New red clothes, decorated whiteboards We all know; rules to follow Overloads; echo the hollow Blame it on crack and the mentally ill Might as well track the squalor bill Blame acid rain and acts of God With your hand on your heart, echo the hollow What a feeling Spirit reeling We’re all bleeding What a feeling Echo the hollow Outta the blue, but we always new Into the black, cos there’re never coming back Couldn’t make up the scene, is this the dream? Rip it apart and echo the hollow What a feeling Spirit reeling We’re all bleeding What a feeling Echo the hollow Karma Kings
Another life, another planet, another girl Another time, another space, another world Window shopping, water boarding, interesting plans I think we need to re-evaluate Karma as the dharma of the kings that gave the crown away Slip-sliding, mud-riding Slip-sliding, how’s my timing Another line, another smoke, another play Another screen, another TV, no other way Every time you see it something shoots it, something eats it Don’t believe it’s always been the same Karma as the dharma of the kings that give the crown away Slip-sliding, mud-riding Slip-sliding, how’ my timing Karma kings, karma kings, karma kings, karma kings We’re all karma kings Karma kings, karma kings, karma kings, karma kings We’re all karma kings Karma kings, karma kings, karma, karma, karma kings We’re all karma kings Karma, karma, karma KARMA!!!

Wash Your Million Dollars
You’ve got a funny way of lookin at it But I really like that show You’ve to kick that habit darlin One day soon everybody gonna know This little girl plays a gangsters number one Oh I know it’s not a likely plot Neither is it very far from where we are baby Not so different from what we got What I’m sayin, what I’m sayin darlin’, what I’m sayin honey I would wash your million dollars I would drive them down dirt roads I would believe everything you told me Till the cops sent everybody home If the boot was on the other foot I know you’d do the same for me You’d keep all the gangers bangin While you distribute the crystal methamphetamine You’d hang on my every single syllable Toe the line to a t While I instil a fear in everyone Of my darkest fantasies What I’m sayin, what I’m sayin darlin’, what I’m sayin honey I would wash your million dollars I would drive them down dirt roads I would believe everything you told me Till the cops sent everybody home I would wash your million dollars I would drive them down dirt roads I would shoot anybody Till the cops sent me home I would shoot everybody Till the cops lost control Till the cops brought in the army Till the army sent everybody home in a bag No Zone
Traffic in the air Traffic on the land Got my share Blood on hands You don’t know No zone Let your body shiver Let your body moan Let your body shake Shake out in the cold You don’t know No zone No rights No home No life You ain’t got No zone No life No home No rights You ain’t got No zone Moving I struck the road with my heel I struck the road with my feel for the day I stuck around through that painful sound I stuck it out all through the grey And the sound comes around When the ground is washed away Good people come around And the sound is blinding Hey, what did I say Moving on is moving anywhere else Moving on, is there anywhere left Moving out, always seems it’s for the best Moving up is for the rest You know what they say, time to get away What the grind takes 69 times what they pay You know how they do lie in wait for you You know what I’m like you what I’m gonna fuckin say And the sound comes around When the ground is washed away Good people come around And the sound is blinding Hey, what did I say Moving on is moving anywhere else Moving on, is there anywhere left Moving out always seems it’s for the best Moving up is for the rest Lettin’ the Light
Hey my little girl, Hey my whole world What’s got you calling me In a voice crying out so loudly You got the best of me For a time I could hardly see But darkness is no longer part of me Oh you’ve got a healing heart You know you always had that little spark But lovers can play those silly games And people can get a little bit insane Oh it made a mess of me For a time I could hardly breathe But darkness is no longer what I see From here on I’m gonna walk right Gonna follow that path right outta the long dark night I’m through with hurting and causing pain I don’t ever want to be that kind of man again Oh because the best of me is in sharing in the air I breathe Darkness is no longer part of me Lettin the light, lettin the light, lettin the light shine down on me |
