---Mental Jewelry1991From the mouth of a baby
Will come the world saving words
That will save us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty
And not carrying on despite of me
Don't you know, this ain't about no race, no creed
No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that you see
And if I don't know who to love I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill no suicide
I'm already dead
Tired Of "Me"

Intro (4x) Under 1st verse (4x)
You say "hold on to the reigns"
I say "let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "groundless and free"

I know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out and think about
Think about living
But I can't seem to rescue myself (2x)
What about my C#mbank account?
And my Aholy Bdesert Eshield
That keeps me G#dry under the arAms
BFlags and mental jewelry's all I Eknow
And they keep me G#happy and warm inF#side
So I said unto this man who are you
And where do you come from
And he proceeded to tell me many things
But I said nothing at all
For the flower in the corner by the room
In the window and the sun
Said it all
But what about...
A (arpeggiate chords here)
At least they said they would
Said they G#could
Mama said they Awould
Do me G#good A
I know that I should...
Waterboy
--------
C#m A B
C#mWhat do you say to the Achild
Whose C#mgod is in the TV A
And C#mwhat do you say to the Aman
Who C#mblames the world on ATV
C#mThey don't even know Ahow to C#msing my Asong
But C#mthey won't even Atry it with C#mme A
F#mWho is standG#ing over playing like the teacher
F#mHarnessing the learned
Who G#try but can't leave her
I F#mwant to beg the liars
To G#lay down their sirens
That F#mplay like the angels
To G#my deep desire
C#mFree my son
F#mLet him walk right through the rain
C#mFree my son
F#mMake him waterboy
C#mFree my son
F#mThere he stands down on the shore
AFree Bmy son
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father
Come and see my heart
Come inside and learn
Come and see my soul, it's like yours
I say it's just like yours
Who is making over
Idolizing princes
Banishing the dreamers
With barbed wire fences
And telling all the children who run to her feet
That they have no vision and love's all diseased
Free my son

He said, he said, he said
There was nothing to fear boy
He said, he said, he said
Worthless are your tears boy
Just realize your senses
And realize your earth
Just realize your essence first
AmI'll never Gbe the Amsame again
AmI want to Gwalk in the Amsun
AmI am aGlive and Amwell again
FNo more bitterweet
No more Ggood pain
No more
So Ammany of us stanCd in the mDiddle C
Looking Amback to the worstC
Looking Dforward to the fallC
Making Amweapons of peacCe for the dDefense C
Of the Ambloodstains on our Cpeaceful sideDwalks C
You say the buildings are too tall
They're going to fry your brother
Well I say you'd better walk away
And find your mother
No more Fbitterweet
No more good pain
If I can't sing this song
And tell you all about it
Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away
Don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full
And the day is way too young
You'd better sip today before it's gone
No more bitterweet
No more good pain
No more Amgood pain
No more Ggood pain
No more Dgood pain good pain
Mother Earth Is a Vicious Crowd
