Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
You don't understand
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that be just who I am
Well I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar, gonna be a Blue collar man.

Believe it.


. . .


Hold on tightly to your innocence
And don’t you let go
Until you know it’s gonna be your way

Through the tangle and the bramble
There’s a thread that runs through
And it’s true
There’s no need to be afraid

Smiling ear to ear
It’s something in the atmosphere
Every star above reflecting in your sea of love
Is it just a dream
Or are things as they really seem
Somebody help me make the call

You could be the light
That shines so bright
You show the way to go
And if it’s so
Don’t be too surprised

Just give yourself a chance
And take a glance
Around to see the glow
Burning in my eyes

Smiling ear to ear
It’s something in the atmosphere
Every star above reflecting in your sea of love
This is not a dream
It’s just the way it’s always been
You’ve got to rise above it all

(CHORUS I)
Somewhere down the road that we follow
We’ll be one with everything
I know as soon as tomorrow
We could be arriving

(First Keyboard Solo)

(CHORUS II)
Somewhere down the road that we follow
We’ll be one with everything
I know as soon as tomorrow
We could be arriving
And in my dreams I’m there by your side
Learning to fly again...

The world we see,
(----world we see and hear)
Is a mystery,
(----mystery but we)
But we hold the key,
(-------hold the key to the door)
If we have the faith to live,
(-----have the faith...)
And believe...
(...anymore)

(Keyboard Solo II)

(Repeats CHORUS II)

. . .


You take one man's heart and make another man live
You even go to the moon and come back thrilled
You may a deaf man hear and a dumb man speak

So it don't make sense that you can't make peace.
No it don't make sense that you can't make peace.

You can make a transfusion that will save a life.
You can change the darkness in the broad daylight
.
Make submarines, they submerge for weeks.
So it don't make sense that you can't make peace

You know it don't make sense- you can't make peace
You know it don't make sense- you can't make peace
You know it don't make sense- you can't make peace

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt
Stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the Eggman (whoo!)
They are the Eggmen (whoo!)
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm cry-'-ng (Ahhh!)
I'm crying
I'm cry-'- (whoooo!)

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain

I am the Eggman (Now, good sir, ...)
They are the Eggmen (... poor man, made tame to fortune's...)
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob

Expert texpert, choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
(Ho-ho-ho! Hee-hee-hee! Ha-ha-ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they schnied
I'm crying

Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should've seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the Eggman (whoo!)
They are the Eggmen (whoo!)
I am the Walrus (whoo!)

Did you make your bed?
Did you lose your head?
Are you still awake from the things you said?
You close your eyes
But the sleep won't come
'Cause you can't escape what's said and done
Did you draw the line in the sand again?
Did you make a stand out on a limb?

Don't be so hard on yourself
'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world alone
Just be

You drink too much 'cause you think too much
It seems so hard to feel all that is real
You numb your heart so you feel no pain
And then you miss the bliss of the pouring rain
But it's a brand new day, it's a shame to waste
It's yours to live - it's yours to taste

Don't be so hard on yourself
'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world alone
Just be

Don't be so hard on yourself
'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world alone
Just be

. . .


Relax
Take it Easy

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat
And your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it

Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
And how can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb
Such a caring young man
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it

Get up (get up), get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on (come on) let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.
whoa whoa whoa oooooo

Yeah, your fooling yourself and you don't believe it
Your killing yourself, You don't believe it
Get up (get up), get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Ooo, Come on (come on) let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.
whoa whoa whooa whoa whoa oooo

You've seen my hands are steady
You've seen my face before
Soon you can take your last look
And they'll close the door
I stand accused before you
I have no tears to cry
And you will never break me
Until the day I die

A criminal mind was all I
All I've ever known
They've tried to reform me
But I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

I've spent my life behind these steel bars
I've paid my debt in time
But being brought to justice
That was my only crime
I don't regret a single action
I'd do the same again
These prison walls secure me
And I'm numb to pain

A criminal mind is all I
All I've ever known
They've tried to reform me
But I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

Before you hand me over
Before you read my sentence
I'd like to say a few words
Here in my own defense
Some people struggle daily
They struggle with their conscience 'til the end
I have no guilt to haunt me
I feel no wrong intent

A criminal mind is all I
All I've ever known
Don't try to reform me
Cause I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

Oh I am
Oh I am
I'm made of cold stone
Made of cold stone
I'm just like these prison walls
A criminal mind

. . .


There's a crack in the universe
People say that it's getting worse
And there's no place that's safe to hide
Better hope we can hitch a ride

There's a sign in the road ahead
Turn back or you'll end up dead
Hey but I don't believe it's true
'Cause it's the road leading back to you

Kiss my skin, I won't bleed
Close me in, I'll go to seed
Make me ask and I won't need
Everything, all the time

There's a face in a photograph
Tryin' hard to suppress a laugh
Crying out to be torn in half
Should I ask for an autograph?

Kiss my skin, I won't bleed
Close me in, I'll go to seed
Make me ask and I won't need
Everything, all the time
Everything, all the time

Feed my hunger
Ease my pain
Feed my hunger won't you, oh nah nah nah
Won't you ease my pain, whoa nah nah nah nah

Kiss my skin, I won't bleed
Close me in, I'll go to seed
Make me ask and I won't need
Everything, all the time

Everything, all the time

Everything, all the time
All the time
All the time
All the time

. . .


Yeah I'm Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?

Well, I'm so tired of losing - I got nothin to do and all day to do it
Well, I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe there can be such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, (it's tick tick tick tick tickin away)
too much time on my hands (Now I don't know what to do, I say)
Too much time on my hands

Too much time on my hands,Too much time on my hands,Too much time on my hands

Now, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems
Without even tryin'
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buyin'
Is it any wonder I'm not the president?
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, he's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard there can be such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and he's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, (tick tick tick tick tickin' away)
too much time on my hands (And I don't know what to do with myself)
Too much time on my hands (Mmmmm)
Too much time on my hands (Tick tick tickin' away)
Too much time on my hands (Mmmmm)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my.

. . .


I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used to think that everything was fine
Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All alone and trapped in time

I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball

Tell me, tell me where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body's aching
And I don't know where to go
So tell me, tell me, won't you tell me
I've just got to know

Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball
Would you tell me please before I go
Crystal ball..

Tell me tell me [...]

Crystal ball
There's so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There's so many things I've got to know
Crystal ball

. . .


You were the apple of the public's eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall
The pride of both you and us - how can it be real
We love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud
The queen of the United States, or have you lost your crown

Well aren't you Miss America
Don't you Miss America
Won't you Miss America
Our love

Well are you really who we think you are
Or does that smile seem to wear you down
This girl who you once were is screaming jump out
This dream that you must live - a disease for which there is no cure
This roller coaster ride you're on won't stop to let you off

Well aren't you Miss America
Don't you Miss America
Won't you Miss America
Our love

Well aren't you Miss America
Don't you Miss America
Won't you Miss America
Our love

Well it's true just take a look - The cover sometimes makes the book
And the judges, do they ever ask to read between your lines
And in your cage at the human zoo, they all stop to look at you
Next year, what will you do when you have been forgotten

Well aren't you Miss America
Don't you Miss America
Won't you Miss America
Our love

Miss America [repeat and fade]

Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down,I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore

Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She easses me down,touching me gently
With the waters that flow past m boat on the river
So I don’t cry out anymore

Oh the river is wise
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face dissapears

Take me down to my boat on gthe river
And I wont cry out anymore

Oh the river is deep
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face dissapears

Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down,wont you let me go down

Take me back to my boat on the river
And i wont cry out anymore
And i wont cry out anymore
And i wont cry out anymore


. . .


Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
oh mamma i can hear you a crying you're so scared and all alone
hang man is comin down from the gallows and i don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man

Oh Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Lawman said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge'll have revenge today
On the wanted man

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
hang man is coming down from the gallows, and i don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man
the wanted man....
and i don't wanna go
