Answer 38

If your harder yet to serve/we have most delightful dreams/Our recorders will preserve/The intensity and passion of your screams/For we only aim to please/ It's our customers who gain/ As their appetites increse/They must come to us for pleasure or for pain/And the price is right/The cost of one admission is your mind. [The United States Of America]



Some people feel you should think just like them/I can't be free, I won't climb any fence/I just want to fly......to places/I want to find me some faces/Who're lookin' like me.....Who want to be free. [Eric

Andersen]



Who am I to stop and wonder/To wait, while the wheels of fate/Slowly grind my life away. [Country Joe And The Fish]



Jesus freaks out in the street handing tickets out for God/Turning back she just laughs/The Boulevard is not that bad. [Elton John]



This old guitar taught me to sing a love song/It showed me how to laugh and how to cry/It introduced

me to some friends of mine and brightened up some days/And it helped me make it through some lonely nights/What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night...[John Denver]



Stepping outside, pretty girls all see me/Found the best one who said she adored my loving ways/ Living together, discovering pleasure/Winter to summer, finding our love in a million ways/But good things always end/I said it's over, open up a knew door. [John Mayall's Blues Breakers]



Did you ever feel the blast as the semtex bomb goes off/Did you ever hear the screams as the limbs are all torn off/Did you ever kiss the child who just saw his father shot/Do you ever shed a tear as the war drags on and on....[Mick Jagger]



There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock/He plays records day and night/And when he feels down,

he puts some rock n roll on/And it makes him feel alright/And when he feels the world is closing in/

He turns his stereo way up hight. [The Kinks]



Some men need some killer weed and some men need cocaine/Some men need some cactus juice

to purify their brain/Some men need 2 women and some need alcohol/Everybody nees a little something but Lord I need it all. [Dr. Hook]



We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain/But as long as a man has the strength to dream/ He can redeem his soul and life/Deep in my heart there's a tremblin' question/Still I am sure the answer, answers gonna come somehow. [Elvis]



Yesterday in crannies or in nooks you will not find/Yesterday in chronicles or books you will not find/

All you see of yesterday is shadow's in your mind/Shadows on the pavement but no bodies do you find/Here is only waiting for a day that went before/Here is only waiting for an answer at the door/ Here is only waiting without knowing why for sure/Here is something gone you cannot find it any more. [United States of America]



Baby don't you know your on a death train ride/Ain't no turning back /When you get to the other side/

So if you want to stay alive/Let that cocaine train ride on bye. [written by me]



Food in abundance, beggers and banks/God in His heaven, and his priests in tanks/Gold in the misery, sewer in the mind/Greed and corruption of every kind/Fools in the Parilament, pollution in the stream/T.V. Poverty, the big bad dream/Sex in the Cinema, fear in the school/Censorship committees, they rule we're cool. [Donovan]



I use to try and fly away upon the flood of dreams/Tasting all the good and bad from on the serpents tree/Little ones remind us of a place we used to be/Echoes of the ever land discover who you really am. [The Rascals]



I've had some fancy shelter/And I've been left out in the rain/You're the only pleasure I've hadfor all my pain/Cravin' some rest washed up at your door/Wasted the best, but I'm askin' for more/For you/For You. [Johnny Rivers]





take care
