People, Let's Stop The War

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo-Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Hey all you people, for goodness sake,
Let's get together, what does it take,
To make you understand the value of a man?
I'm talkin' about your son and neighbor, yes I am. Oh ...

CHORUS
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.

If we had a president, that did just what he said,
The country would be just alright, and no one would be dead,
From fighting in a war, that causes big men to get rich.
There's money in them war machines, now ain't this a bitch? Oh ...

CHORUS

I been excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo ... excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

I been excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo ... excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo-Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

You know I just won't let her,
Break this heart of mine, yeahhh ... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ya-yeah.

But my heart just led me along, yeah.

Save The Land

Look out for the land rush, it's coming day by day.
Said, get ready for the land rush, it's headed right your way.
Look what you're paying, to live on your land,
And most folks don't even have some, but I don't understand.

CHORUS
Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.

Sometimes I sit here thinking, but all the answers just don't appear.
I'm calling to my brothers and sisters, let's get together and kill this fear.
There ain't really gonna' be much to it. We can control the thing if we try.
With just a little more understanding, the whole world will get by.

No Lies

Oh ... I got one thing to tell ya', then you make up your mind.
It's what I been tryin' to tell ya', for a long, long time.
We need each other, to live in peace and harmony.
Don't need a whole lot to give, 'cause love is for free.

I ... I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't tryin' to sell ya',
No lies.

Forget all of your troubles, for a minute or two.
Just listen to what I'm sayin', 'cause I'm talkin' to you.
We don't need no leader, to tell us just what's wrong.
We need love in the country, so we can get strong.

And, I ... oh, you know, I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't tryin' to sell ya',
No lies.

I ... I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't gonna' sell ya',
No lies.

I ... I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't gonna' sell ya',
No lies.

Please Don't Worry

If somebody tells you "look out boy,"
"That stuff you're doin' is way too strong."
Pay them no mind, just give 'em time,
Keep your head, you can't do no wrong.

CHORUS
Please don't worry, 'bout no jury,
There's so many, of us anyway.

If somebody tries to bust you,
'Cause you had their daughter late last night.
Don't get me wrong, but, you must be strong,
And, you just can't get uptight.

CHORUS

If somebody says you look funny,
'Cause the way you dress, to them, ain't right.
Say "Hey, can't you see, you look funny to me?"
"But, I'm just tryin' to be polite."

Trying To Get Away

I been out on the road with my thumb in the air,
I'm a long way from home but I just don't care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.

'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.

I passed through New York just the other day,
The smog was bad but not as bad as L.A.
Sometimes I wonder what the world's comin' to.
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna' do.

CHORUS
'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.
I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.

I been out on the road with my thumb in the air,
I'm a long way from home but I just don't care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.

Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.

CHORUS

'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I Just Gotta Know

Hey, people are you ready to get in the streets,
To be your own police?
Are you ready to start tonight,
To stand up and fight for your rights?

CHORUS
Woah ... oh, I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.

Young people would you do the patriotic thing?
Are you ready to stand up and sing,
That you're tired of the war and all that shit?
Oh, tell me, are you ready to do your bit?

CHORUS

You gotta' take a stand,
Give your brother a helping hand.
We got to start today,
So tomorrow our kids can play.
We better do what's right,
So we don't have to fight,
No more.

'Bout the only way I see that we can change the plan,
Is to vote and get our man.
The man whose not afraid,
And one whose not over-paid.

CHORUS

You gotta' take a stand,
Give your brother a helping hand.
We got to start today,
So tomorrow our kids can play.
We better do what's right,
So we don't have to fight,
No more.

Freedom Is For Children

I wrote the words of freedom,
I've even sung the song.
But freedom is for children,
'Cause they don't understand what's wrong.

The children are so very lucky,
'Cause they're not old enough to know.
Not old enough to realize,
But they'll find out as they grow.

The children are so very lucky,
But, on the other hand, who's gonna' save the land?
The children are so very lucky,
But man's invention is gonna' be the prevention of their life.

This song is nearly over,
And so's the world and the day.
There's something missin',
But who will listen enough to do what it will take?

Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?

Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?
