Crazy Horse 05:56
lyrics

I dreamt I was an Indian On the Wyoming plain Wrapped up in a buffalo robe Low down in the dirt Dabbing on my war paint I was thinking ‘bout my homeland Thinking ‘bout my woman and child I was waiting for the bluecoats Them murdering liars I was thinking it’s a good day to die Crazy Horse people, Red Cloud sky Crazy Horse people, Red Cloud sky I dreamt I was a soldier In the US cavalry Sat tall on a chestnut steed My pride and my joy Hunting for the savage enemy I was thinking ‘bout my hometown Thinking ‘bout a girl I used to know I’ve got one more silver dollar Til I next get paid I was thinking it’s a long way home Crazy Horse people, Red Cloud sky Crazy Horse people, Red Cloud sky I dreamt I was an eagle In the Wyoming sky Soaring high above On my eagle wings Watching with my eagle eye A symbol of freedom An omen for the brave I saw a silver eagle On a blood soaked coin An eagle feather in a dead man’s hair Crazy Horse people, Crazy Horse people Crazy Horse people, Red Cloud sky © Geoff Achison 2004

News 04:41

Every single morning And every afternoon They read the daily headlines Citing the antics of buffoons And they shake their heads and cuss As they share their smokes with their friends They drink from polystyrene mugs Sweet tea and Caterers Blend Did you see the news? They know the truth instinctively And they shout it loud and often The fools and liars are all exposed And the villains are unforgotten They say “It’s the same shit but a different day” And “If you ask me they oughta ...” “Why don’t they this?” And “Why don’t they that?” Is repeated over and over Did you see the news? They’ve got the radio blaring Got their classic rock Singin’ yeah, yeah, yeah Did you see the news? Well this is no made up rhyme I know this for a fact Every answer this poor world needs Is being spoken around the back On a hundred million smokoes In a hundred million towns The working class is so much wiser Than the clowns that they’ve put in power Did you see the news? They’ve got the radio blaring Got their classic rock Singin’ yeah, yeah, yeah © Geoff Achison 2004

Something is happening In my lonely life Something awakening In my messed up mind Something guiding me From the dark into the light Something driving me To turn my wrongs into rights Got to give a little bit more of myself Got to give a little bit more of my time Got to give a little bit more of myself Got to give a little bit Give a little bit Something is happening In my lonely life Something awakening In my messed up mind Obsessive depressive I’m watching the news of the world Repressive aggressive I’m shaking my fist at the wall Got to give a little more of myself Got to give a little bit more of my time Got to give a little bit more of myself Got to give a little bit Give a little bit All my life I’ve been waiting For someone to lean on So damn tired of facing My personal demons Got to give a little bit more of myself Got to give a little bit more of my time Got to give a little bit more of myself Got to give a little bit Give a little bit © Geoff Achison 2004

Rule The World 04:03
lyrics

Anything you say Anything you do Good or bad Will come right back on you The earth keeps spinning Like a tilt-a-whirl Why don’t wise men Ever want to rule the world? Rich folks here Poor folks there There’s more than enough For the whole round world to share The earth keeps spinning Like a tilt-a-whirl Why don’t wise men Ever want to rule the world? Well I try and I try To make a difference in my life But time is tight Just trying to make a living Are there too many chiefs And not enough braves Too many thieves Just carving up this place? The earth keeps spinning Like a tilt-a-whirl Why don’t wise men Ever want to rule the world? © Geoff Achison 2004

Hey little big men You’d better watch yourself, better watch yourself Yeah little big men I just might come on after you myself Hey little big men With my sticks and my stones Yeah little big men I want to be the one to knock you off of your throne Well you’re just like the devil I know just who you’re trying to please I’ve seen you dancing to his evil So why don’t you come clean? Hey little big men You’d watch yourself, better watch yourself Yeah little big men I just might come on after you myself Well you’re just like the bogey-man You’re just like some kind of ghoul You frighten all the little children So what am I supposed to do?

The tail is wagging the dog The cart is pushing the pony Fuelling the fire Wagging the dog The clowns are running the circus The puppets are pulling the strings Fuelling the fire Wagging the dog Peace for the family Peace for the world I can right no wrong I can take back no bomb Won’t you please forgive me Won’t you please forgive me The tail is wagging the dog The cart is pushing the pony Fuelling the fire Wagging the dog The bread is starving the family The dirt is pushing the broom Fuelling the fire Wagging the dog Peace for the family Peace for the world I can right no wrong I can take back no bomb Please forgive me Please forgive me © Geoff Achison 2004

What’cha trying to do to my mind? Are you trying to zombify? What’cha trying to do to my mind? Are you trying to zombify? Creeping and crawling Like a slithery-dee You might get the others But you won’t get me What’cha trying to do to my mind? Are you trying to zombify? Everywhere I look Everywhere I see Consumeration trying to get at me What’cha trying to do to my head? Am I supposed to take what I’m fed? What’cha trying to do to my head? Am I supposed to take what I’m fed? Junk in the jungle Poison in the sea Put the blame on you Put the blame on me What’cah trying to do to my mind? Are you trying to zombify? Four billion years Of evolution Consumeration is the highest human What’cha trying to do to my mind? Are you trying to zombify? © Geoff Achison 2004

Bit by bit Drifting away Like a sailing ship Piece by piece Step by step Stealin’ away Stone by stone Rising up, tumbling down Kick by kick Toke by toke and tear by tear High baby high One girl’s junk is another girl’s prize She bought the ticket And now she takes the ride Day by day You do those things you do, you say those things you say Dream by dream Toke by toke and tear by tear High baby high One man’s sweet is another man’s crime She bought the ticket And now she takes the ride It just might be One step ahead It just might be One step ahead © Geoff Achison 2005

Looking out my window Watching all the traffic running by Everybody’s on their journey Trying to live their own sweet life Well I’m tired of living in fear And I’m tired of locking my front door Searching all the faces Trying to see who’s out to get me Suspicious of my neighbors Am I living with the enemy? Well I’m tired of living in fear And I’m tired of locking my front door Turning off my TV Turning off my radio too I’ve got a mind to change my mind I’ve got a mind to change my attitude Well I’m tired of living in fear And I’m tired of locking my front door © Geoff Achison 2004

Never give it up Never give it up no They might call you a dreamer They might call you a n’er do well They might call you a sinner They might tell you to go to hell Never give it up Never give it up no C’mon let’s go C’mon let’s go Like David & Goliath Mandela, Gandhi and MLK A deed and a word live on A footprint is washed away Never give it up Never give it up no C’mon let’s go C’mon let’s go Staring at my granddad’s name On a stone in an English town Cut down on the frontline We only have one time around Never give it up Never give it up no C’mon let’s go C’mon let’s go © Geoff Achison 2005

The world has just begun And hate is still a stranger And war is just a game We play but not in anger As boy becomes father And son becomes man As boy becomes father And son becomes man An answer to a riddle A verse within the pen A first time ever hero A game that has no end As boy becomes father And son becomes man As boy becomes father And son becomes man © Geoff Achison 2005
