Have some faith in me
'Cos we really do know better
And we do belong together
Have some faith in me
If the world would leave us to it
We might very well get through it
I was not surprised when you called my number
Life's a bitch you think you're going under
Where the hell did your friends run off to
Someplace cool, look where they left you
Alone with the TV, worse, the refrigerator
You're gonna lose it sooner or later
Get on the phone and find somebody
That you definitely do not need to see
Been raining cats and dogs and creatures
There's more to do than you can feature
Get control of your life some way
You got to give the car away
Give it to the kid next door
He needs the wheels and he's stuck on a skateboard
Go max out your credit card
Get out of town, it ain't that hard
Have some faith in me
'Cos we really do know better
And we do belong together
All you really need
Is a ticket for a plane ride
Follow me to paradise
And you're always in a hurry
Y'got to be some place
That you never want to be when you arrive
And there's always a new worry
That will not go away
And it constantly affects your state of mind
It's such a waste of time
I'm already your best friend
Who do you talk to, who really listens
Who can you completely trust
Who love you babe
Who loves you this much
Morning has come with the first rays of sun
Breaking through our window pain
Songs fill the air but there's no singer there
Just an old wooden guitar playin'
Writing a song, won't take very long
Trying not to use the word "old"
Thinkin' about takin' chances and doubts
That still linger in the cold
Looking forward all that I can see
Is good things happening to you and to me
I'm not waiting for times to change
I'm going to live like a free-roamin' soul
On the highway of our love
There was a peace of a song I heard the other day
Some words I heard this singer say
Something in me loved the way that it sounded
When he said how he wanted to stand
Stand and be counted
Now, sometimes I talk to myself in the early dawn
Before all the fragments of my dreams are gone
Things you don't know why your mind held on to
Or else sometimes you know more than you want to
Stand an be counted, stand on the truth
Stand on your honor, stand and be counted
And I wonder who that kid was standing brave and trim
And I hear myself breathe and I know that I was him
Defender of the poor and those who cannot speak
I thought I'd be standing by the dam trying to stop the leak
So concerned with matters of the heart
And knowing the millenium was just about to start
And knowing that somehow we could make a difference
I want to stand alone in front of the world and that oncoming tank
Like that Chinese boy that we all have to thank
He showed us in a picture that I have mounted
Excactly what it means to stand and be counted
People come and go
Living other lives
Running everywhere at such a speed
Never taking time
To open up their eyes
Never knowing where life leads
In the heartland people everywhere
Try to share their hopes and dreams
In the heartland on any given day
You can find your way back home
Take another breath
And take another chance
Take another look at who you are
And get ready for your live
'Cos it's such a crazy dance
So open up and you'll go far
We've been running so far away
From where our lives belong
Will we ever get back to the rhythm of the heartbeat
Do you ever feel sad
For those whose hearts have turned to stone
You are not alone
It's time to take it slow
Time to take a rest
Time to leave the fast lane far behind
Live is hard enough, I know
But you can only do your best
To get it in your heart and minds
I lost my innocence over intolerance
All the indignities heaped on the black man
We went to church they all prayed for the white man
The cops and the preachers
Were most of 'em in the Klan
What's a kid s'posed to think when the adults
Are all such hypocrites impossibly smug
I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Had enough
Quite enough, I swear
The next generation, the woodstock nation
A little bit flaky, but no hesitation
Stop the war, it wasn't worth dyin' for
The paranoia of the cold warriors
Arrogant old men with domino theories
Fractured fairy tales tryin' to kill me
I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I have read enough
History to see right through this
You got outcast upset
People you never met
Locked in the basement
Hot-wired to the net
Isolated, infuriated
The punchline to the joke
Is how they are gonna smoke
Every last stuck-up snob ever dissed them
Look in their eyes how could you miss them
Ain't you seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I've had quite enough
Seen enough
We got dead-eyed, dead drunk
Dead stupid cyberpunks
Fed-up killer geeks
Gigabyte meth freaks
Home alone in a world of their own
Up all night in the thick of the fight
Fantasy combat, veteran psychos
Removed from reality by silicon diodes
Seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Have you read enough
So, you don't know nothin' about it
You got powerbook potentates
Pointedly obviate
Every opinion
They have about anything
Even if they don't know shit
Stay in the limelight
Got your own website
Got all the answers, ain't got a lick of sense
Practicing psychiatry without a license
Ain't you seen enough
Had enough of this
I have had enough
Ain't it bad enough for you yet
So you got overfed
Talking heads on television
Ignoring the obvious with pained expressions
Ask the ones that sell the damn guns
By the truckload every day
Fast as they can make 'em
What's a kid s'posed to think
When the adults
Refuse all accountability
When they fuck up
Ain't you seen enough
Ain't you had enough of this
Goddam tired enough
Have we done enough about this
I have seen enoug
Something opened up the gates again
I can control it, so I'm rushing in
Here comes a mermaid and a little girl
Some open drawers from around the world
I got some medals hanging on my chest
I've seen some good ones but I missed the best
Lady Luck, don't you turn on me
I'm just a student of your history
I'm just a student of your history
Slowpoke, I'm going to run with you
Wear all your clothes and do what you do
Slowpoke we've got some things to find
When I was faster I was always behind
When I was faster I was always behind
Something's pulling back the curtain again
The stage is darker and the crowd is in
The song is gentle and the song is long
Something's missing, but something is found
Something's missing, but something is found
Slowpoke, I'm gonna run with you
Wear all your clothes and do what you do
Slowpoke, I've got some things to find
When I was faster I was always behind
When I was faster I was always behind
Once, high on a hill, there was a song
Nothing was wrong, that's when time stood still
Now lovers are caught, tied in their dreams
Bound in their thoughts, wrapped in the depth of their love
If I can hold on to you
If I can hold on to you
Somewhere near the end, lovers pretend
Fake what they feel, take what they get from love
Start missing the drive, staying alive
Four out of five, without the feeling of love
If the sky is fire and hell is blue
If all of our dreams won't come true
If the sky is fire and hell is blue
I'll cover you, I'll cover you
Sky is fire, hell is blue
Sky is fire, hell is blue
That's why I'm out of control
Tear myself down, build myself up, tear myself down again
I'm talking to you, trying to get through
Don't want to hide, lost in the mirror of love
Someday soon you will see by the light of day
That someday soon all your worries will fade away
Keep holding on to the love that has made you strong
And someday soon heartache will all be gone
Someday soon I hope good things come to you
And someday soon hope your wishes all come true
Keep holding on to the love that has brought you here
And someday soon darkness will disappear
When life's too hard to bear for you to take it
Have faith in what you do
You've got to tell yourself
That you can make it through
Someday soon you will get to be your best
And someday soon you will finaly get some rest
Keep holding on to the love that came your way
And someday soon shadows will fall away
When the day is dawning
Who's the radio
Who's the hand in your hand
Who's the one who knows
When you're on the ropes
She's the one you can lean on
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
Who can call you darling
Who can make you stand
Who's got all the answers
When things get out of hand
Who's got all the moves
She's the queen of them all
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
She's the queen of them all
She's the queen of them all
Walkin' proud with her colors showing
She's the queen of them all
When the sun is setting
Who will hold your hand
Who is always there for you
Who can understand
She's got all the moves
She's the queen of them all
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
