I'm concentrate on teh wrong side of the law
From the creator
of this beautiful strip mall
A decimator of the cinder block world
A ventilator of the rallying call
One by one I take them on
this will be my revolucion
One by one they will be gone
I will not sleep til it be done
Basso profundo
yeah everybody knows
todo el mundo
it's shaking the windows
the tide is shifting
everybody says NO MAS
the boat is drifting
from the ones who control us

They never have enough they never have enough they
never have enough
the money is all that they love

All the world is for the taking
Just forget the hearts you're breaking
Is this love that you are making
or is it a deal?

Renacimiento

that's something I can do
Este pobrecito
has jut gotten some bad news
Mis hermanos we so close
Ten thousand light years
from the ones we love the most

They never have enough they never have enough they
never have enough
the money is all that they love

All the world is for the taking......

You are my sugar
You are the salt upon the earth
When will they see you?
When will they pay you what you're worth?
Amor mio I'm so close
Solo tù y yo
thats what I want the most

I never have enough I never have enough I never have
enough
You'll be the death of me my love


. . .



The gringos block the roads
Inside your head
Are you sleepin git off
when you're not in your bed?
You pray in the darkness
Let me walk in your light
Let me die in my lover's arms
Let me love through this night

You are watching over my three brave soldiers
I have not forgotten
I will send you
Something...

So this is the city
So this is progress?
How can something so pretty
become such a mess?
There is no more than this steal and stone
More than this flesh and bone
there is a little piece of land in me
No other man can own

Who is watching my three brave soldiers
I have not forgotten
I will send you
Something...

Well shut my mouth
I have nothing to say
except, what is this life?
with no love along the way
You know that I'm good for it
You know I can pay
We don't have to look for it
It is right here
It's today


. . .



It don't look right
In broad day light
It don't feel right
to me
If you win the rat race
If you come in first place
Then a rat is all you will be

How long will this take?
How long must I wait?
My heart is sinking
What were we thinking?
I can't fake this anymore

In this moment
of atonement
can you ever forgive me?
Is there something hovering?
It seems to be governing
everything once dear to me

Oh and how long........


. . .



Hit them where hurts
Listen for what it's worth
Hi them where it hurts
They only care
what is it worth?
It was a long long time ago
You found me naked
by the side of the road
You picked me up out of that hole
mouth to mouth and
soul to soul

La luz de cada dia
Te siento conmigo!

I swear it's love
it's love that we are dyin gof
it's true
you'll know it's true
when it breaks your heart in two
has it always sounded like this?
My name upon your lips
has it always taken so long?
to get to this part of the song

La luz de cada dia
Te siento conmigo

You better mean what you say.
Why don't you say what you mean?
I never get anywhere,
I get the space in-between.
Beautifully mutilated,
insanely antiquated,
i will admit i almost always underestimate it

*these are the only lyrics I found online. if anyone has a link to the rest of them, comment and i'll add the rest


. . .



Is losing something that you love
a blessing in disguise
who comes and goes into our life
not for us to decide
You can bury them deep inside
but you can never hide
You waited for them long enough
It's time to say goodbye

O my lordy O my god
I finally see what's going on
I count the fingers that you made me
Am I squandering the life you gave me

I never seem to find the words
the devil ties my tongue
Then I find the perfect words
the moment you have gone
Are we still lovers we'll never be friends
Is this all there is? Is this where it ends?
Was it fate? Was it games of chance?
Are we victims of the circumstances

O my lordy.......

Bend your words into a prayer
send them on a trip some where
Let them ring and resonate
Kiss your lips and seal my fate
maybe losing something
that you love is a blessing in disguise
you've been their slave for far too long
It's time to say goodbye


. . .



Father,
you know where I have been and
you know what I have done
they say that you see everything
so you know I never hurt no one
What I have stolen won't be missed
By those who had so much, so long
We'll soon be laughing about this
They will never notice it is gone
I could bend the universe
It I can only get there first
There are some foolish fresh laid plans
My fate is firmly in your hands

If you must take me
I can not go peacefully
I left someone waiting for me
I left things terribly..

They say man is just your seed
Spilled out on the thirsty earth
A simple servant of your needs
from the moment of our birth
Tell me am I not your seed?
Tell me am I not your son?
Tell me have you just forgotten
All those years of devotion

Take
If you must take me
I can not go peacefully
I left someone waiting for me
I left things so terribly...
Undone


. . .

[No lyrics]

. . .



There's this place that I know
where they say everything slow
You are the one I would take with me
It's the perfect place to be with a girl like you
if you wanted to we could leave right now
It's the perfect time
It's the perfect day we should get away come on let's go

Did you mean what you said?
cause it sounded so true
is real really dead
cause it looks so damn good
Read you loud and clear
I know I'm all done hear
let's go


. . .



Father,
you know where I have been and
you know what I have done
they say that you see everything
so you know I never hurt no one
What I have stolen won't be missed
By those who had so much, so long
We'll soon be laughing about this
They will never notice it is gone
I could bend the universe
It I can only get there first
There are some foolish fresh laid plans
My fate is firmly in your hands

If you must take me
I can not go peacefully
I left someone waiting for me
I left things terribly..

They say man is just your seed
Spilled out on the thirsty earth
A simple servant of your needs
from the moment of our birth
Tell me am I not your seed?
Tell me am I not your son?
Tell me have you just forgotten
All those years of devotion

Take
If you must take me
I can not go peacefully
I left someone waiting for me
I left things so terribly...
Undone
