Headed Into Disaster
04:00
|

Verse
Me and this truck are headed down to New Orleans
I got the Pete wound up and she's running mighty lean
But before I could make the deal go down
Katrina done rumbled ino town
And when the levees broke
That's all that she wrote
Chorus
I'm headed into disaster
Pushin into the red
I'm headed into disaster
Full speed ahead
Got another load for the west side of the twin cities
The Pete's loaded down and she's runnin mighty pretty
As I approached the Mississippi bridge
I could not believe what it did
My jaw dropped in awe
When I saw that big bridge fall
chorus
Bridge
I've always been a small government man
Lately I'm think that's not such a reall good plan
People who hate the government
Shouldn't be running the government
Government is supposed to be
Of, by, and for you and me
chorus (We)
We're headed into disaster
The budget's in the red
We're headed into disaster
We must be out of our heads

Jackie
04:06
|

I named my new dog Jackie
To honor the great 42
Wasn't too long till she surprised me
With this amazing thing she could do
This dog could speak like a movie star
Least that's how it occurred to my ears
So I took her down to the local bar
To try and score some free beers
Jackie and I walked right on in
And straight away hailed the keep
I said hey Joe what do you know
I found me a dog what can speak
I says to Joe now what will you pay
Will you spot me a beer or three
Joe says hey if she does what you say
You can drink every night for free
Joe says hey if she does what you say
You can drink every night for free
Jackie now don't be a timid mouse
Let's offer up some kind of proof
What do you find on the top of a house
Jackie said quickly "roof"
The bartender says no deal
Ask her something more tough
So I asked her how does sandpaper feel
She without hesitation says "ruff"
Joe says I ain't going to pay her
Cause you ain't speaking the truth
Then I asked her who's the greatest ball player
She thought for a bit and says "Ruth"
Chorus
The bartender said with a hardy shout
Take your dog and get out
The bartender said with a hardy shout
Take your stupid mangy dog and get out
Jackie and I walked on down the street
I was really feeling quite sad
Thinking of all the girls I could meet
And all the beers I coulda had
Jackie she stops and she looks at me
And cocks her cute little head [pause]
She says "Next time you ask that question of me,
Should I say Mickey Mantle instead?"
She says "Next time you ask that question of me,
Should I say Mickey Mantle instead?"

Corporate Kings
05:04
|
|||
The Boston tea party was not about taxes
Don't you believe it, here's what the facts is.
The reason that Adams and Revere were so pissed
Is something that history teachers often have missed
You see East India Company had debts to pay
So the King and Brit Parliament looked for a way
To corner the market on the colonist's tea
Giving East India monopoly.
But a group of patriots fought for a new nation
To set us all free from kings and corporations
Washington Jefferson Sam Adams Revere
Made a stand for values held dear
CHORUS
They said
We the people, we have the power
To take on all injustice, and make it right
We the people, this is the hour
To set aside all difference and stand and fight
If history teaches anything it's that we must resist
CORPORATE KINGS
Rockefeller oil, Carnegie Steel
American tobacco JP Morgan rail
Randolf Hearst had the papers and opinions
They each had their union busting minions
But a group of progressives fought for the nation
To set us all free from kings of corporations
Teddy and the muckrakers Wilson and Taft
Busted up trusts and they hoped it would last
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
"Corporate Kings" have changed through centuries
First there was one king and one company
The robber barons were kings of monopoly
Now a few globals want dominion over you and me
So Progressives must once again fight for this nation
To set us all free from corporate domination
Lakoff Chomsky Bernie and Dean
Must find a new message to say what we mean

Slippin' Away
04:08
|

Driving to the late night show, through the falling snow
Thinking about the holiday crush, and being in a rush
I pull up to the stop light, Looking left and looking right
Instead of coming to a stop my car spins like top
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
oh I'm slip slip slipping away
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
And slipping away won't do
I get to the gig alright, and I'm up on stage all night
Pouring out my heart, trying to get a start
Getting to the end of the show and, I'm startin' to really know
That I'm gone and I just want to go home
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
oh I'm slip slip slipping away
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
I'm slipping away from you
Lead break bridge progression
Now it's getting really late, even though we're sounding great
But tonight the crowd is thin, nobody wandering in
I can't wait to get to my car, then I see you at the bar
That moment when our eyes meet you knocked me off my feet
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
oh I'm slip slip slipping away
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
I'm slipping away with you
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
oh I'm slip slip slipping away
I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away
I'm slipping away with you

Stay Close
05:21
|
|||
We grab the leash and head on out
Can't wait any more
Sniffing round where other dogs go
There's a big world to explore
But you can't see what's going on
up around the bend
And you can't know what you might find
where you have never been
Chorus
So Stay Close, don't you run too far ahead of me
Stay Close, don't you fall too far behind
Stay Close, there's danger there that you can't see
The strength is in our numbers, when we stay close
Swapping rings on our big day
Can't wait any more
Together adventure is about to begin
There's a big world to explore
But we can't see what's going on
up around the bend
And we can't know what we might find
where we have never been
chorus
Toddling down the fair midway
Can't wait any more
Hold my hand, your legs are small
There's a big world to explore
Child you can't see what's going on
up around the bend
And you can't know what you might find
where you've never been
Bridge
Fear is used as a wedge between community
But we can conquer anything together if we
chorus
Holding hands, you're by my side
Can't wait any more
I'm passing to the other side
There's a big world to explore
I can't see what's going on
up around the bend
And I can't know what I might find
where I have never been

[Verse]
I am the black child, playing in an empty lot
I am the white man, playing a round of golf
I am the Asian, opening up my store
I am the Mexican, immigrant working poor

I am That One, You are That One
He is That One, she is That One
The whole is greater than the sum
Together we are all That One

I am the beat cop, trying to keep you safe
I am the pastor, helping to keep your faith
I am the organizer, trying to lift folks higher
I am the fireman, putting out the fire

Life Is Like
03:21
|

Verse
Every birth begins with a beating heart
You know it's often hard figure out the start
Once it gets to rolling, seems like it will never end
Kinda like when you find that first forever friend
Chorus
Life is Like a roll of TP
It rolls on until it's gone
Seems at first that it will last
But in the end it's going fast
Plenty of people are willing to advise you
Of all the ways and things that you ought to do
The only way that you can get all of that to stop
Is do it right and live your life always from the top
Chorus
Each time around doesn't seem to make a dent
Pretty soon you're wondering where it all went
As it gets to the end you start to treasure each
Another roll, you know, is always out of reach

The sky was crying
As I stepped into the breaking day
And though I was flying
You know I wanted just to stay
But I'll keep on trying
To get back to you some way
The road it may be long, baby
But you never leave my mind
No matter where I go, child
I know that never will I find
A love as sweet as yours, woman
Lasting me to the end of time

Verses
It's time for us to take a stand
All across this great big land
Stop the rampant corporate greed
Do the things that people need
Like free college education
Higher wages across the nation
Rein in that Wall Street crowd
Sing it with me, sing it loud
Chorus
Enough Is Enough
Who do you trust
Not me, but US
Enough is Enough
Join the revolution
Be part of the solution
Don't let them divide us up
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
break
Let's create a system where
Everyone has good healthcare
Tax burdens are truly fair
Where all the rich pay their share
And women are paid the *same* as men
And infrastructure is new again
And cannabis is no longer a sin
Together I know that we will win
chorus
BRIDGE:
(modulate whole step)
Join the dance
Fall in line
This is our chance
This is our time
Together we will take a stand
For everyone across this land

Train Of Days Gone By
07:58
|

Verse 1
You can hear that train a rolling, rumbling down the track
You feel your time slipping by, it ain't never coming back
You can see it in the distance, you can hear that whistle blow
How your life got on this track, no body seems to know
Chorus
Train of days gone by
Train of days gone by
Verse 2
There's a voice out in the distance, you can hear it calling you
Reminding you of your past, and all that you've been through
Time may heal all problems, but it can also crush your dreams
Leavin behind where you been, is even harder than it seems
Chorus
Verse 3
Time just keeps on rolling, right on down the line
Try to even slow it down, is a huge waste of mind
Although there is no stopping, there's switches on the way
Throw the right ones now, and you'll arrive in better days
Chorus
