1. _ Target
You've seen it all before
You think it's passe
But you listen to the same fucking records
Every single day
You don't like the people who caught on late
If they're having fun
Don't participate, be lethargic
You're a hypocrite, you're the target

2. _ From The Gut
The gut from the gut
It hurts hurts so much
The same quite the same
You know know too much
It's yours yours no more
It's mine for the time
That i'm without you

4. _ Ice Cold Ice
Barren lands and barren minds
In another place and time
I feel i've never known myself
Frozen in the sand again
See the blank expressions waiting for progression
They're standing still in place and time
And no one's moving, they're only
Standing still in ice cold ice cold ice
All machines and all are one
Catching up on what's been done
Stealing glimpses from the past
These impressions always last
Never penetrating, always contemplating
We sit and count the blessings but we're blessed by icons
No one else could
Trust in ice cold ice cold ice cold ice
We'll stay together till the end
Thinking you might be a friend
We sit and pray together that they might change the weather
My love for you will never die
If i sound distant, that's because
You shouldn't see me crying ice cold ice

5. _ Data Control
A nine digit number
For every living soul
That is all they talk about
At data control
They know everything about you
Keeping secrets is too hard
Your life is all recorded for you
In holes punched in computer cards
Data control (digital readout)
Data control (perforated feedout)
Data control (microfilm files)
Data control (1984 style)
A multinational corporation
A stockholder's dream
A nightmare of diversity
A defense system so supreme
Too technical to talk about
Too complex for layman's brains
It's enough to make you paranoid
Or drive you crazy losers sane

6. _ Powerline
What's this humming in my head
Was it something that someone said
It's connecting us with them
Electric wires turned on again
It aggravates, and it pacifies
Hear the power in the lines
Strung high on every pole
How can this power be bought and sold?
Trying to harness solar rays
Making minutes seem like days
It captivates, and it hypnotizes
Hear the power in the lines
Powerline

7. _ Hardly Getting Over It
Twenty years ago, saw a friend was walking by
And i stopped him on the street to ask him
How it went, and all he did was cry
I looked him in the face, but i couldn't see past his eyes
Asked him what the problem was, he says "here is your disguise"
Now he's hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by
Old may lays down by the railroad tracks
Got no paper in his pocket, got no paper on his back
I asked him what the time was, he says "hit the road now, jack"
Went back to see him next week
He died of a heart attack and died away
Now he's hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by
Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die
And grandpa had a seizure, moved into a hotel cell and died away
My parents, they just wonder when they both are going to die
And what do i do when they die?
Now i'm hardly getting over it
Hardly getting used to getting by

8. _ In A Free Land
Government authorize education
[don't mean a thing]
They'll teach you what they want you to think
[don't mean a thing]
Saturation of stars and stripes
[don't mean a thing]
The only freedom worth fighting for is for what you think
Why bother spending time
Reading up on things
Everybody's an authority
In a free land

10. _ Standing In The Rain
Looking outside my window
And all i see is grey
I'm watching the clouds roll by every day
And we make a reservation
You say you'll be on time
I say, "i might be a little late"
Well, i pull it together and brush my teeth
Comb my hair
I stop to think and i can see you there
I think of the times you've waited
Just for me to care
I care about you
Checking the clock inside
The room we call our own
I see that i'm late, i should get going
Hop on a local transit
Spending all my change
And i can still hear the telephone
I wanna go back, but i'm halfway to
The place where we will meet
And i'm half dead on my feet
And once i get there, i see
Everything's the same
Here comes the rain
You left me standing
I should have guessed that you'd stand me up
Why did i even go, now
And i guess it goes to show
The snow may well thaw out, but it
Goes right down the drain
You left me
You left me
You left me
You left me
You left me standing in the rain

11. _ Divide And Conquer
Well they divided up all the land
And we've got states and cities
Cities have their neighborhoods
And more subdivisions
There's countries divided by walls
Oceans and latitudes
And longitude, longing to find out
Just what they're missing
They're lots of area codes
And nine digit zip codes
Secret decoder ring codes
Arteries, shopping nodes
We'll invent some new computers
Link up the global village
And get ap, upi, and reuters
To tell everybody the news
We'll be one happy neighborhood
Spread out across the world
But who's going to stop that burglar
From breaking in my house
If he lives that far away
We'll be just like old friends
No means to your ends
The police state is to busy
And the neighborhood's getting out of hand
It's not about my politics
Something happened way too quick
A bunch of men who played it sick
They divide, conquer
It's all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide, conquer
Well i expect i won't be heard
Because my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquer
They divide and conquer

12. _ New Day Rising

13. _ Terms Of Psychic Warfare
i see you walking down the road
And the thoughts within my mind explode
But having to hold back taught me a lot about control
And letting it all loose at once when it was time to let you know
You occupied my space and you occupied your mind
By jumping off the roof to the first conclusion you can find
Now all the silver you can steal
Can't buy a piece of what i feel
It's sad but the means they just don't justify the ends
To be forever haunted by the ghosts of all your friends
Painful, yeah that's the way you've chosen it to be
C'mon man can't you think of anyone besides me?
These are the terms
Now don't think you're the only one who is harbouring a self hate
I'm just as guilty of selling what my own sweet soul creates
Now don't feel bad the next time my memory comes creepin'
You've got your own bed now, i suggest that's the one you sleep in
Goodnight baby

14. _ Keep Hanging On
Only angels have wings girl
And poets have all the words
The earth belongs to the two of us
And the sky belongs to the birds
You've given me so much happiness
That i'll wrap up and give you this song
You gotta grab it with both hands
You gotta keep hanging on...
The cat walks to the window
And i hear the key turn in the door
No one knows and anything goes
And everything falls on the floor
The apartment starts shaking
And the roof opens up to the sun
The crows flying in parallel lines
And golly isn't this great fun?
Laying in each other's arms
We're sleepy, we begin to nod
And we start to dream of grandiose things
Oh, god, oh, god, oh, god
You gotta keep hanging on

15. _ Friend, You've Got To Fall
I can hear the treetops in the distance
I can see your hollowed eyes
What have you done to yourself in this instance?
I guess it comes as no surprise
I can see the billboards in the distance
Writing is on every wall
I don't wanna know about your business
Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
Every night it's gotta be adventure
The way you live your life's a crime
And if you're guilty, will you serve the sentence?
You're already doing time
There's nothing wrong with having aspirations
Nothing wrong with walking tall
But if misfortune deals the consequences
Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
I know the difference, you keep your distance
I don't wanna know what you've got
Is it pathetic to be sympathetic?
Maybe you don't wanna get caught
Caught up in something that's real
That could last for a lifetime
Nothing like the disease
Disease that's in your mind
I can see your life disintegrating
Into ashes in your hand
And i know you wouldn't want to tell me
What is wrong 'cause you're a man

17. _ She Floated Away
With her grandmother's face and her father's brown eyes
Her own force of will to her mother's surprise
A whole look about her that says that she may
She lifted her arms and she floated away
She floated away, she floated away
She lifted her arms and she floated away
She don't give a damn what the other girls say
She lifted her arms and she floated away
"let me talk to you mother," she tried to confess
"go ahead honey and wear the white dress
Don't let traditions go stand in your way"
She lifted her arms and she floated away
Well a man has two reasons for things that he does
The first one is pride and the second one is love
All understandings must come by this way
She lifted her arms and she floated away

18. _ Books About Ufos
Walking down a sunny street to the library
Checking out the latest books on outer space
Going to the fruit stand to buy a dozen oranges
Then she and the books and the oranges go back to her place
She tells the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sitting in her room reading books about ufos
Sometimes i see her sitting on the rooftop
Perched in a lawnchair and staring into the sky
I know that somewhere in some faraway galaxy
That some gray men with telescopes are gazing right into her eyes
Her live revolves around all of the planets
And she is constantly aware of all the changes that occur
I'm going to turn into a lens and focus all my attention
On finding a new planet and naming it right after her

19. _ It's Not Funny Anymore
You can do what you want to do
You can say what you want to say
You can think what you think you want
It doesn't matter anyway
It's not funny anymore
Play what you want to play
Hear what you want to hear
Don't worry about the result
Or the effect is has on your career
Act like you want to act
Be what you want to be
Find out who you really are
And don't pay any attention to me

When i should have been listening

22. _ Back From Somewhere
Now you look like you just got back from somewhere
Somewhere yeah you know that it's true
Together we went nearly to nowhere
Nowhere really worth going to
Standing at the city center
In the middle of the winter
I was waiting for you and you were due
When i got back you said you were leaving
Leaving you said right away
And coming back for the sake of retrieving
Things you'd forgotten on that day
Still now my eyes are burning
With the sight of your returning
Everywhere i look i'm finding you
I remember you
Familiar places that we turned into gardens
Somewhere yeah you know that it's true
I'm begging you now a thousand pardons
For all of the wastelands we've been through
I remember asking whether
Or where we could be together
You smiled at me and you said soon

23. _ The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill
There's a girl who lives on heaven hill
I go up to her cabin still
She keeps a lantern lit for me
And a bottle up on her mantelpiece
She's the girl who lives on heaven hill
She's got a big room and it's always a mess
Worn out shoes and a worn out dress
A worn out smile that she'll wear some more
And a worn out welcome mat by her door
I'd trade big mountains and rooms full of gold
For just one look at the beauty of this woman's soul
Up on heaven hill is where i wanna be
That girl that bottle that mattress and me

24. _ Celebrated Summer
Love and hate was in the air, like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in april time, they add another hour
I guess i'd better think up a way to spend my time
Just when i'm ready to sit inside, it's summer time
Should i go fishing or get a friend to hang around
It's back to summer, back to basics, hang around
Getting drunk out on the bach, or playing in a band
And getting out of school meant getting out of hand
Was this your celebrated summer? was that your celebrated summer?
Then the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds
I summer where i winter at, and no one is allowed there
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell?
