  NOTHING’S REALLY LIKE IT SEEMS—THOSE PICTURES IN THE MAGAZINESSTARE OUT AT YOU SECRETLY SEEKING SYMPATHY

  EVERYBODY’S LIFE’S THE SAME–THE RICH MAN AND THE POOR MAN CLAIM

  EACH OTHER TRIES TO CANNIBALIZE THEIR DIGNITY

  AND EVERY SINGLE STATEMENT IS TRUE—IF YOU BELIEVE IT –THE JOKE’S ON YOU

  GO BACK TO THOSE VOICES YOU HEAR ON TV

  TWO THOUSAND YEARS—WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE

  WE’VE GOT THE ANSWERS—WHY CAN’T WE CHANGE

  TWO THOUSAND YEARS—LET ME OUT OF HERE

  IF YOU THINK WE’RE CRAZY NOW—JUST WAIT

  I’VE BEEN STAYING UP ALL NIGHT–THINKING ABOUT THIS SILLY FIGHT

  THAT KEPT ME FROM SOMEBODY THAT I’D LIKE TO SEE

  THE STUBBORNNESS THAT RULES BOTH SIDES IS PROMINENT WHEN IT DIVIDES

  OUR HEARTS AND MINDS CAN NEVER FIND PURE HARMONY

  I RESIGN MYSELF TO SLEEPING ALONE—‘CAUSE I’M NOT PICKING UP THE PHONE

  ADMITTING I WAS WRONG—THAT’S NOT ME

  CHORUS

  SOMEONE’S GONNA HAVE TO EXPLAIN–35 STRAIGHT DAYS OF RAIN

  THOSE COMET SHOWERS ARE KILLING OUR CHRYSANTHEMUMS

  TIME TRAVELERS AND GYPSY BOYS ARE TINKERING WITH US LIKE TOYS

  THEY PROMISE WE’LL ALL CHANGE WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES

  BUT SUPERSONIC SIDEWALKS ASIDE—I THINK THEY’RE TAKING US FOR A RIDE

  FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS—THE WORST IS YET TO COME

  THE CLOUDS BEHIND THE CURTAIN CELEBRATE THE SKYHOLDING UP FOR CERTAIN, THE FATE OF YOU AND I

  WE CALCULATE THE HEARTBREAK, DIVIDE IT BY OUR LOVE

  SACRIFICE FOR FREEDOM, WE CAST OUR EYES ABOVE

  WE FINALLY MAKE OUR MOVE -ONE FOOT BEFORE THE OTHER—KEEPING IT TRUE

  THE DANCE OF LIFE—THE DANCE OF LIFE—CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER—IF YOU CHOOSE RIGHT

  THEN YOU CAN LIVE A THOUSAND LIVES ROLLED INTO ONE

  THE DANCE OF LIFE—THE DANCE OF LIFE—BLOW ON ‘EM BABY—ROLL THEM DICE

  THE DANCE OF LIFE IS NOT A DANCE FOR EVERYONE

  SOME COWER IN THEIR CORNERS—SOME BEAT A MIGHTY BREAST

  SOME LIVE AMONG THE HORRORS, OTHERS TOWER ‘BOVE THE REST

  ONE THING WE HAVE IN COMMON, WITH EVERY BREATH WE TAKE

  WE CLIMB THE WALLS AND ROAM THE HALLS HOPING TO MINIMIZE MISTAKES

  SO MANY HERE AMONG US SLIP AND FALL

  HAVING REACHED THE TOP, TO SLOWLY DROP, SURRENDERING ALL

  CHORUS

  GATHER YOUR BELONGINGS, AND PLUMB YOUR MEMORY

  UNLOCK THOSE MIGHTY QUESTIONS– RESOLVE YOUR MYSTERY

  THE LEAVES THEY ARE A BLOWING—AUTUMN’S IN FULL SWING

  GONE BEFORE YOU’RE KNOWING WHAT FUTURE DAYS WILL BRING

  EACH AND EVERY CRIMINAL CONFESSES TO HIS CRIME

  JUST A MATTER OF WHERE OR WHEN AND HOW HE DOES HIS TIME

  WE ATE OUR MORNING BREAKFAST AND DROPPED THE KIDS OFF AT THEIR SCHOOLSPASSED THE ROWS OF TREES WITH CHANGING LEAVES AND HALF DRAINED SWIMMING POOLS

  AT WORK WE BET MONEY ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL SCORES

  AND THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE

  WILL BARRY BONDS HIT SEVENTY ONE—IS GARY CONDIT THROUGH

  WHEN WILL MICHAEL JORDAN BE COMING BACK -HOW ARE THE FALL TV PREVIEWS

  FOUR PARTIES NEXT WEEKEND-AND I’M REARRANGING MY SOCK DRAWER

  AND THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE

  HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SKY SO BLUE

  NOT EVEN A THREAT OF STORM CLOUDS COMING THOUGH

  WE READ THE EVENING PAPERS—TUCKED OUR CHILDREN INTO BED

  WITH A GOODNIGHT KISS WE WANDERED INTO SLEEP-SWEET DREAMS AHEAD

  OUR LIVES WERE-SO PERFECT-WE HAD EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND MORE

  AND THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS—THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS—THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS– THE DAY BEFORE

  THERE’S THIS ENORMOUS GAPING HOLE WHERE TWIN TOWERS ONCE STOODLIKE SOMEONE PUNCHED OUT THE NATION’S TWO FRONT TEETH

  NOW HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE JUST LOST THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS

  AND THOUSANDS MORE HAVE LOST SOME MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILY

  EVERYTHING CHANGED—IN OUR MIGHTY USA—

  EVERYTHING CHANGED—OOOH OOH

  EVERYTHING CHANGED—I HATE TO BE THE ONE TO SAY

  THAT NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME

  OH WE’VE WITHSTOOD THOSE HURRICANES AND EARTHQUAKES COAST TO COAST

  WE’VE HELD OUR OWN IN SNOWSTORMS AND IN FLOODS

  BUT NOW WE’RE BEING TESTED BY A DIFFERENT KIND OF FOE

  AND IF WE DON’T RETALIATE—THIS NATION’S NAME IS MUD

  CHORUS

  MY STOMACH’S IN A KNOT THAT SEEMS TO NEVER GO AWAY

  AND MY EYE KEEPS GAZING CAUTIOUSLY TO THE SKY

  AND EVEN THOUGH I DO BELIEVE THAT JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL

  WE CANNOT WIPE THIS PERPETUAL TEAR FROM A MOURNING NATION’S EYE

  EMERGING PATTERNS FROM A DIFFERENT WORLD—SOME FLAGS ARE FLYING—SOME REMAIN UNFURLED

  SLEEPWALKING DAYS—AWAKE ALL NIGHT

  SECRETLY THE TIDE IS CHANGING—RECENTLY THEY’RE RE-ARRANGING

  HOW WE ENTER AND WE EXIT—DON’T KNOW IF WE’RE COMING OR WE’RE GOING

  NOTIFICATION OF THE NEXT OF KIN—

  WHERE DOES THIS LINE END AND THE NEXT BEGIN

  A FAMOUS FACE—A FROZEN ZONE

  SOME ARE WELCOME, SOME AVOIDED—HAIL TO THE SELF APPOINTED

  WHO’S TO SAY WHO IS OR ISN’T STRONG ENOUGH TO BE THE LOCAL HERO

  AND WE CONTINUE AS WE HAVE BEFORE—LOOKING OUT OUR WINDOWS

  AVOIDING EYES AND GUARDING OUR FRONT DOOR—EXCHANGING GRINS

  WHILE CONFRONTING THE ENEMY WITHIN

  EASY SOLUTIONS TO RESTORE OUR FAITH—REMOVE THE SIRENS BY THE 28TH

  HOIST A FEW—LAUGH OUT LOUD—DON’T LET ‘EM CATCH YOU LOOKING

  THEY’LL THINK THAT SOMETHING’S COOKING

  THERE IS NOT AN EASY ANSWER BUT YOU’VE GOT TO ANSWER EASY QUESTIONS

  AND WE CONTINUE AS WE HAVE BEFORE—LOOKING OUT OUR WINDOWS

  AVOIDING EYES AND GUARDING OUR FRONT DOOR—EXCHANGING GRINS

  WHILE CONFRONTING THE ENEMY WITHIN

  DO YOU REMEMBER THAT GREAT GREAT VISION—THE GREENING OF AMERICAWE TOOK THE COUNTRY’S CONSCIOUSNESS UP A COUPLE STEPS—EMBRACED OUR NEW IDEALS

  AS WE GOT OLDER, SHED OUR BELL BOTTOMS, TRADED ‘EM IN FOR THE BOTTOM LINE

  SOLD OUR LOVE BEADS OFF AS WAMPUM—THE CORPORATIONS TOOK AWAY OUR PEACE SIGNS

  AND NOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED—WHAT IN THE HELL WERE WE FIGHTING FOR

  AND NOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED—NOT FOR PEACE AND LOVE THAT’S FOR SURE

  NOW THAT WE’VE GOT THE GOODS WE’LL NEVER GET BACK TO

  WHEN WE WANTED TO CHANGE THE WORLD

  AND NOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED—BUT WE JUST CHANGED OUR MIND

  DO YOU REMEMBER HOW WE’D PROTEST AND PICKET SO THAT WE COULD CHANGE THE WORLD

  AND NOW WE FIND OURSELVES PROTESTING AND PICKETING SO THAT THE WORLD WON’T CHANGE US

  WHERE DID WE GO WRONG—WHEN DID WE STOP CARING AND START TO WORSHIP THE ALMIGHTY BUCK

  COULD WE EVER GO BACK—I HIGHLY DOUBT IT—‘WE CAME AND CONQUERED – NOW WE WON’T GIVE UP’

  CHORUS

  I STILL DREAM OFTHAT COMMUNE IN THE COUNTRY—TURNING THE SOIL ON A SUNNY DAY

  ALL MY BUDDIES RAKING AND SCRAPING MUD OFF THEIR SHOES WHILE OUR CHILDREN PLAY

  AND OUR LADIES OFF ON A MISSION—MIXING UP POTIONS FOR A PARTY TONIGHT

  GONNA BE A BLOWOUT—AND OLD FASHION HOE DOWN-LIKE WE IMAGINED BEFORE LOST OUR SIGHT

  I WAS RAISED IN THIS CITY—ALL OF MY FRIENDS GREW UP HERE TOOWHEN SCHOOL DAYS TURNED TO WORK DAYS—WE STUCK TOGETHER THROUGH AND THROUGH

  TIME PASSED—WE ALL HAD FAMILIES—AND ALL OF OUR DREAMS WERE COMING TRUE

  BUT IN ONE MOMENT ALL THAT CHANGED—ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING WAS SO STRANGE

  AND NOW WE’VE GOT TO GET BACK TO THE WORLD THAT WE CREATED

  WITH PEACE AND LOVE AND HARMONY—LET FREEDOM RING

  HOME OF THE BRAVE—LAND OF THE FREE—LET FREEDOM RING—LET FREEDOM RING

  MY FRIENDS AND I ARE CLOSER THAN EVER—AND ALL OUR FAMILIES ARE CLOSER TOO

  OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER COULD FILL THE LARGEST ROOM

  WHAT WE SAW AND WHAT WE HEARD COULD HAVE DESTROYED OUR HOPES AND DREAMS

  BUT WE WILL ALWAYS PERSEVERE—WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING WE WANTED RIGHT HERE

  AND NO ONES EVER GONNA TAKE—EVER GONNA TAKE —EVER GONNA TAKE IT AWAY

  LET FREEDOM RING LET FREEDOM RING LET FREEDOM RING

  LET FREEDOM RING—LET FREEDOM RING
