When times are lean
And the herd becomes mean
And hungers for a need
To fill the wartime ranks
To fill the empty tanks
Turn your life upside down
And everything falls out
Change is quicker than life
So fast to render strife
Wherever you are,
Hearts are with you!
Cry like a man!
You were one of the good ones, my friend.
Still fighting daddy’s wars
Still doing daddy’s chores
Turn your life upside down
And everything falls out
Change is quicker than life
So fast to render strife
Wherever you are,
Hearts are with you!

It’s like a well
You fall in
It’s like a cave
You call in
Hello!
Can you feel?
Feel me
Is it for real
Oh, really?
Hello!
Girl, who have you been with?

Wake Up Call

I woke this morning from a crazy dream
Not really sure exactly what it means
Half asleep, just about to wake
It left me with a feeling I can’t shake
People’s lives were changing in my face
Becoming someone else in their place
I was helpless and I couldn’t move my feet
I could watch but I could barely speak
You know you exist, but you don’t know where
You look in the mirror, but there’s no one there
While the lambs lie down at your feet
Flies swarm the valley from the mill
And scatter from explosions on the hill
Ghost walking through the market square
No bartering voices come from anywhere
Farmers shake their heads yielding nothing from the ground
Anyone with any sense has already left town
The lambs lie down at your feet
An angel grabs you and pulls you to your feet
Pointing to the broken on the street
Sons and daughters answer clarion calls
Buzzards wait upon the family walls
You have many faces, but none of them are yours
Acting all the time in a role that endures
While the lambs lie down at your feet
You know you exist, but you don’t know where
You look in the mirror, but there’s no one there
While the lambs lie down at your feet
Looking for comfortable heat
Looking for something to eat

Metal Heart

Rainy days that rust
And closes up a metal heart
Nothing gets in and nothing comes out
Locked in a magnetic kiss
That opens up a metal heart
And then you knew
You could listen
You could follow
You could change
You’d wear a heart on your sleeve
If it weren’t for the chip on your shoulder
Bad news travels in packs
Piles up on you in flimsy stacks
You can still see some light through the cracks

Peace on Earth

Peace on earth
I’ve never known
What its worth
I’d rather be shown
So show me how
To feel that way
I’m ready now
To quit today
Take my hand
I won’t let go
I won’t ask why
Or tell you no
I don’t wanna think
Or be afraid
I just want some time
And the peace we’ve made
I’m tired of fighting
I don’t want to fight anymore
