No news is good news but news is here to stay Tightening the thumb-screws from day to day I hear the tale of a distant fray War is hell but it's half-a-world away I'm alright Nothing is bothering me I'm just trying to keep the weight of this world From dawnin...

Greenback band of the hour Setting half the trends we know They've got the power They're on the radio Flap-trap terminal D.J. Repeating everything he know He picks the hits Hey, he's on the radio Just by flipping one button You got an instant song...

What will you do with an old guitar What will you do when it's gone What will you do when you can't play no more Wood is surely rotting now Strings will surely rust And fingers that are picking turn to dust My, my - how the thoughts slip by Who has see...

Some folks can't wait Till God gets wind of what has happened to me I've got some doubts and questions, don't you see They say, "What does the poor boy Think he's doing hanging around our door We discussed this before There ain't room for him no more"...

I caught the train to San Francisco I would've flown but I can't stand planes I'm just a blur in Luis Obispo I'm just a nose on a windowpane I'll stay only for an evening I'll play just a one man band I'll stay only till I'm leaving I'll play just a on...

Heaven help a timid child in a trendy tide He really doesn't know That his heart's being taken for a ride Doing what the world lays down As a steadfast rule And hanging when the world says to change Like a steadfast fool Heaven, heaven help me I'm one...

I will rise from my bed with a question again As I work to inherit the restless wind The view from my window is cold and obscene I want to touch what my eyes have not seen But they have packaged our virtue in cellulose dreams And sold us the remnants 'ti...

Of all the crooks emotion is the worst one
 He took your answers and he took my questions 
We're like two drunks who've lost their prize possessions Our jungle conversations tend to digress 
I am a tiger you become a tigress 
The sharpest fangs won't get...

What difference does it make If this was once upon a time You supply the stereo And I'll supply the rhymes I'm aided by machinery In hopes to reach your mind Can you hear me Can you hear me now Just a needle scratching ridges On this one-way plastic...

She's got smart-bomb eyes but they see no wrong 
She don't understand there's a war going on 
She melt my heart like lead - she got no X-ray sight
 She says a day's a day and a night's a night
