Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Them belly full but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough
You're gonna dance to God’s music, dance We're gonna dance to God’s music, dance Forget your troubles and dance
Forget your sorrow and dance
Forget your sickness and dance Forget your weakness and dance
Cost of living get so high
Rich and poor, they start a cry Now the weak must get strong They say, "Oh, what a tribulation."
Them belly full but we hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough
We're gonna chuck to God’s music, chuckin' We're chuckin' to God’s music, we're chuckin'
Them belly full but we hungry A hungry mob is a angry mob A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough A angry man is a angry man
A rain a-fall but the dirt it tough
A pot a-cook but the food no 'nough
A hungry mob is a angry mob (repeat to fade)

Wax Wings
03:48
|
|||
rise up this morning
song bird in a cage
blue sky his yearning
don’t see the cat from whom he kept safe
we’d be flying on wax wings we’d climb to the sun
we’d be flying on wax wings this where our troubles begun (x2)
how many fewer guns
would be pointed at how many fewer heads if we all stopped doing what we want
and did what the Good Lord said
how can we blame God for the plague of locusts feasting on the harvest of our seeds
planted when our neighbors’ not our focus seeing our wants and not his needs
we’d be flying on wax wings we’d climb to the sun
we’d be flying on wax wings this where our troubles begun (x2)
O Lord and Master of my life,Take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, meekness of mind, patience and love to Thy servant. Yea O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions and not to judge my brother, for blessed art thou unto the ages of ages
we’d be flying on wax wings we’d climb to the sun
we’d be flying on wax wings this where our troubles begun (x2)

Bee Alone
03:47
|
|||
three little birds beside my shaded chair chasing a bumble bee from ground to air too big to eat yet too small to play
soon panting & dying beside me she lay
like gods we stand at the precipice of destruction all creation sold for a pound of flesh hands outstretched, demanding reduction bread & circuses the ransom our spirits enmesh no sun to scorch, & yet we fall spontaneous combustion fiery chariot falters
no blood on doorframes to save us all we can’t hear the voice of many waters
colony, community, village & city
like bees in their hive we come to gather
not for gain nor strife nor pity
many hands make light the work we’d rather
never alone are we despite the distance
God above & brothers beside us always
we forget & grow callous then the resistance to loving The Other through all his long days
like gods we stand at the precipice of destruction all creation sold for a pound of flesh hands outstretched, demanding reduction bread & circuses the ransom our spirits enmesh no sun to scorch, & yet we fall spontaneous combustion fiery chariot falters
no blood on doorframes to save us all we can’t hear the voice of many waters
Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend the souls of thy servants & beseech thee to grant them rest in the place of thy rest, where all thy blessed Saints repose where the light of thy countenance shineth forever. I beseech thee also to grant that our present lives may be godly, sober, & blameless, that, we too may be made worthy to enter into thy heavenly Kingdom with those we love but see no longer: for thou art the Resurrection, and the Life, & the Repose of thy departed servants, O Christ our God, unto the ages of ages
like gods we stand at the precipice of destruction all creation sold for a pound of flesh hands outstretched, demanding reduction bread & circuses the ransom our spirits enmesh no sun to scorch, & yet we fall spontaneous combustion fiery chariot falters
no blood on doorframes to save us all we can’t hear the voice of many waters

While I'm Living
Thanks I'll Be Giving
To the Most High You know
I'm a-living, while I am living to the father I will pray only he know how we get through everyday With all the hike in the price Arm and leg we have to pay while our leaders play
All I see is people a rip and a rob and a grab
Thief never love for see thief with long bag no love for the people who a suffer real bad
What is to stop the youths from get out of control full up of education yet no on no payroll
The clothes pon me back have countless eyehole I could go on and on the full has never been told
I'm a-living, while I am living to the father I will pray only he know how we get through everyday With all the hike in the price Arm and leg we have to pay while our leaders play
Mister who can afford to run will run but what about those who can't? They will have to stay Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity in these time I say!
When mama spend her last and send you go class never you ever play
It's a competitive world for low budget people, spending a dime while earning a nickel
With no regard to who it may trickle my cup is full to the brim I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I'm a-living, while I am living to the father I will pray only he know how we get through everyday With all the hike in the price Arm and leg we have to pay while our leaders play
All I see is people a rip and a rob and a grab
Thief never love for see thief with long bag no love for the people who a suffer real bad
What is to stop the youths from get out of control full up of education yet no on no payroll The clothes pon your back have countless eyehole I could go on and on the full has never been
told
I'm a-living, while I am living to the father I will pray only he know how we get through everyday With all the hike in the price Arm and leg we have to pay while our leaders play
Mister who can afford to run will run but what about those who can't? They will have to stay Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity in these time I say!
When mama spend her last and send you go class never you ever play
It's a competitive world for low budget people, spending a dime while earning a nickel

I could go on and on the full has never been told (repeat to fade)
