Sanctus Lyrics
How astonishing is the chance Of leaving this world impress a sense Of natural beauties on us; hallelujah! I think of green fields; I muse With the greatest affection on every flower I have known from my infancy; hallelujah! Their shapes and colours are as new to me As if I had just created them With a superhuman fancy; hallelujah! It is because they are connected With the most thoughtless and the happiest Mo

This is a tear jerker
[Intro] {*echoes*}
The revolution is here, the revolution is here people
I said it once, I'll say it twice
You gots to be ready
The revolution is inside of you
People, the revolution is here, yeah
[Hook]
The revolution's here
No one can lead you off your path
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh (yeah)
No one can change your ways (rock with me for a second)
No one can lead you off your path (come on)
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Yo, I heard it's said the revolution won't be televised
But in the land of milk and honey there's a date you gotta sell it by
Otherwise it just expires and spoils
And these folks jump out the pot when the water too hot
Cuz the fire boils inside
You go to church to find you some religion
And a
Hey Joe Lyrics
Hey Joe someone's stole your pearly-girlie walked up with your jolly-dolly Maybe now you'll take a dance with me I feel mighty lovey-dovey let me be your noofy-toody I'll be just as sweet as sweet can be Now Joe I know just how you feel since your fickle baby left you for a heal But if I could be your sweety pie I'll promise you no other guy Could steal me from you Hey Joe (hey Joe) go put on your dancin'
ll you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction andHey Joe someone's stole your pearly-girlie walked up with your jolly-dolly Maybe now you'll take a dance with me I feel mighty lovey-dovey let me be your noofy-toody I'll be just as sweet as sweet can be Now Joe I know just how you feel since your fickle baby left you for a heal But if I could be your sweety pie I'll promise you no other guy Could steal me from you Hey Joe (hey Joe) go put on your dancin'
You try to vote and participate in the government
And the muh'fuckin' Democrats is actin' like Republicans
You join an organization that know black history
But ask them how they plan to make money and it's a mystery
Lookin' for the remedy but you can't see what's hurtin' you
The revolution's here, the revolution is personal
They call me the political rapper
Even after I tell 'em I don't fuck with politics
I don't even follow it
I'm on some KRS, Ice Cube, Chris Wallace shit
Main Source, De La Soul, bumpin' "2Pacalypse Now"
[Hook]
The revolution's here (yeah)
No one can lead you off your path (uh uh)
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
No one can change your ways
No one can lead you off your path (uh uh)
You'll try to change the world ('scuse me)
So please excuse me while I laugh
Pay No Attention To Alice Lyrics
(I went to see an old army buddy of mine to do some drinking And his wife had become an alcoholic and I wrote a song about it) Pay no attention to Alice she's drunk all the time Booked on that wine bunches of it and it ruined her mind Pay no attention to Alice they say she's a sot sane she is not But she loves it and it's all she's got She made that apple pie from a memory Made them biscuits from a recolection that she had She cooked that chicken

[Verse 2]
Yo, I speak at schools a lot cause they say I'm intelligent
Nervous cause I'm dope, if I was wack I'd be irrelevant
I'm like the dope in your tracks until your high is settled in
You leanin' to the left, the laughter's the best medicine
But the troubles you have today you just can't laugh away
Stay optimistic, they can change, it's gon' come like Donny Hathaway
You have to pray, on top of that, act today
Cuz opportunity shrivel away like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away"
Everybody pass away, the past will pay, the family mournin'
Everybody act accordin' to the season that they born in
You fight in the streets, start bleedin' 'til the blood is pourin'
In the gutter, mothers cry 'til the Lord be livin' by the sword and
All that folks want is safety, they goin' gun crazy
The same reason Reagan was playin' war games in the '80s
The same reason I've always rocked dog chains on my babies
The struggle is beautiful, I'm
My legs are gone Lyrics
The time has begun I go to the sleeping water now The slow tide of spring I am drawn towards your beckoning Starting to breathe But the dawn is slow in coming now And my legs are gone Yeah my friends say there's nothing wrong Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day I don't know which side I am on Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day We're drifting away From the smoke and the burnt out firewood We're lighter than
too strong for you to slave meThe time has begun I go to the sleeping water now The slow tide of spring I am drawn towards your beckoning Starting to breathe But the dawn is slow in coming now And my legs are gone Yeah my friends say there's nothing wrong Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day I don't know which side I am on Caught on a bad day, caught on a bad day We're drifting away From the smoke and the burnt out firewood We're lighter than

No one can change your ways

You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh
