The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

I got no lock on the door, that's the way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor
That's okay with me, 'cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies they're all free
Oh, I got PLENTY of nothin', and nothin's PLENTY for me
I got no car, I got no mule, I got no misery!
The folks with plenty of plenty
They got a lock on their door
Afraid somebody is agoin' to rub 'em
While they're out there makin' more
What for?
I got no lock on the door
That's the way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor
That's okay with me cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies, are all free
So, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin's plenty for me
I got the sun, i got the moon, I got the deep blue sea
The folks with plenty of plenty
All they got to pray all the day
Seems with plenty, you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away
Keep them away
Oh, I'm never afraid about hell, till my time arrives
Never worry, never worry, long as I'm well
Never one to strive to be good, to be bad
What the hell, I'm just glad I'm alive!
Oh, I got plenty of nothin', and nothin's plenty for me
Got my man, got my love, and I, I got my song!
Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said
I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, yeah
Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of PLENTY?"
And he said, oh
Do you come from a land down under? (Ooh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover ('cause we are)
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (Ooh yeah)
You better run, you better take cover (we are)
Living in a land down under (ooh yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
Living in a land down under (living in a land down under)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

[Verse 1]
Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lot to sweat, a set of wheels
On the Speedway
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty
PLENTY of engines ripping around
On the Speedway
[Chorus]
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doing a dance
Straightaway is coming and now's your chance
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
[Verse 2]
Stomp that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
Take a spin, hit the brakes
A young little girl shivers and shakes
On the Speedway
Clear the way, coming through
Kiss from your baby is just pushing you
On the Speedway
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Stomp that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway

Sweet EMOTION
You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year
When some sweet hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go must've got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie sets your pants on fire
Sweet EMOTION
Sweet EMOTION
When I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did
You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
We're talking about something I can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand

Face in the mirror looks the same every morning
I keep looking for a change
Sometimes I wonder am I standing still in time
Tired of doing everything the same old way
Tired of playing all the games that people play
This running round in circles gives me no peace of mind I need to find
I need the EMOTION
I need to laugh
Sometimes I need to cry
I need the emotion
I need to love so hard
I don't know what to do
And baby, I need you
Oh
Sometimes I need a good old fashioned fight
It doesn't matter If I'm wrong or right
Please don't worry about it
You know how much I care
Sometimes I need to make love all day long
Sometimes I need to hold you in my arms
Let's drift away together
It doesn't matter where
As long as you're there cause I need
I need the emotion
I need to laugh
Sometimes I need to cry
I need the emotion
I need to love so hard
I don't know what to do
And baby , I need you
Oh
Sometimes I need to tear the whole thing down
Sometimes I need to turn it all around
When I put it back together I'll be calling out to you
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I need the emotion
I need to laugh sometimes I need to cry
Cry
I need the emotion
I need to feel each passing day go by
By
I need the emotion
I need to love so hard I don't know what to do
And baby I need you
I need the emotion
I need the emotion
Yes I do
I need the emotion
I need ya baby
I need, I need, I need emotion
Oh won't ya baby?
I need, I need, I need emotion
Feels so good
I need, I need, I need emotion
Yes I do baby
Oh
I need the emotion
I said emotion
I need, I need, I need emotion
I need, I need, I need emotion
I need, I need, I need emotion
Every day
I need the emotion
Emotion
Every hour
I need emotion baby
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I second that EMOTION.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that EMOTION.
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I second that EMOTION.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that EMOTION.
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart

I second that EMOTION.

The moment we met
You knew me
I felt you melt into me
Wrap around my heart
And shake me inside
One simple conversation
Such gentle communication
Love found a way in
And to my surprise
From the EMOTIONAL angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough
Till now it was easy stalling
Feeling but never falling
I'd always stop before it could start
Love brought our lives together
With a magic that lasts forever
And nothing on earth can tear us apart
From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough
I just can't get enough
Want you day and night
No taking away my appetite
So spin me in circles
Pull me tighter and tighter to you
From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough.

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that ooo
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand EMOTION
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me ooo
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way oh oh oh
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
ooh got to do with it
(What's love but a second hand emotion)
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
(What's love got to do with it) got to do with it
It's over and done but the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to instead of me tonight?
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just EMOTION that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
I'm there at your side, I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just EMOTION that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
It's just EMOTION that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the FACTS
It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Going down a dirty inner city side road
I plotted
Madness passed me by, she smiled hi
I nodded
Looked up as the sky began to cry
She shot it
Met a girl from Dearborn, early six o'clock this morn
A cold fact
Asked about her bag, suburbia's such a drag
Won't go back
'Cos Papa don't allow no new ideas here
And now he sees the news, but the picture's not too clear
Mama, Papa, stop
Treasure what you got
Soon you may be caught
Without it
The curfew's set for eight
Will it ever all be straight
I doubt it
Seven jealous fools playing by her rules
Can't believe her
He feels so in between, can't break the scene
It would grieve her
And that's the reason why he must cry
He'll never leave her
Crooked children, yellow chalk
Writing on the concrete walk
Their King died
Drinking from a Judas cup
Looking down but seeing up
Sweet red wine
'Cos Papa don't allow no new ideas here
And now you hear the music
But the words don't sound too clear
Mama, Papa, stop
Treasure what you got
Soon you may be caught
Without it
The curfew's set for eight
Will it ever all be straight
I doubt it
Going down a dusty, Georgian side road
I wonder
The wind splashed in my face
Can smell a trace
Of thunder
I was justified when I was five
Raisin' Cain, I spit in your eye
Times are changin' now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back, oh, oh, oh
Eat meat on a Friday, that's all right
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue, oh, oh, oh
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of FACT
I can bitch, I can bitch 'cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move, the things that I do oh
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul, by dropping names
I don't like those! My God, what's that!
Oh, it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back.
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of FACT
I can bitch, I can bitch 'cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move, the things that I do oh
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of FACT
I can bitch, I can bitch 'cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move, the things that I do oh
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back
Bitch, bitch, the bitch is back

Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just LIE
Your hair's getting longer and your shorts
Mmm they sure fit you fine
I'll bet you went out
Every night during ol' school time
But this ti-I-ime I'm not gonna count on you
I'll see you this summer
And forget you when I go back to school
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
Said I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just lie
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ites
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
(Come on and tell me baby)
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows (Where’s that baby?)
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
(Come on and tell me something about it)
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Killed a mile and half from here (what happened to him?)
His head was found in a driving wheel
And his body has never been found
My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

She says "It's not you - it's me
I need a little time, a little space
a place to find myself again
you know?"
Oh yes, I know a goodbye when I hear it
She smiles but her heart's already out there
Walking down the street
She says
"I don't want nobody else
I love you", She's LYING
"There won't be somebody else
and that's true", She's lying
"say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling"
Why does she pretend?
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart's beating at another door
I'm a done fool for to ask for more
She says "It's like in a song, remember?
If you love someone, set them free
Well, that's how it is for me"
And then she kisses me
and somewhere I hear a door slam
So I say "fine"
And just hope that I'm a better liar than she is
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange
Just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day
To believe in you
Tell me, tell me , tell me LIES
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
(Tell me LIES, tell me, tell me LIES)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand
There's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes
No more broken hearts
We're better off apart
Let's give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me LIES
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
(Tell me LIES, tell me, tell me LIES)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange
Just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day
To believe in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me LIES
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
(Tell me LIES, tell me, tell me LIES)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
(Tell me LIES, tell me, tell me LIES)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me LIES
Tell me sweet little LIES
(Tell me, tell me LIES)

If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was LYIN' by me
Then I'd LIE in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was LYIN' by me
Then I'd LIE in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was LYIN' by me
Then I'd LIE in my bed once again
I am sure I read somewhere that Dylan thought this was the best version of this song -

How can I convince you
What you see is real?
Who am I to blame you
For doubting what you feel?
I was always reachin'
You were just a girl I knew
I took for granted
The friend I had in you
I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
The SEARCH is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever?
Will we fall apart?
At times, it's so confusing
The questions of the heart
You followed me through changes
And patiently you'd wait
'Til I came to my senses
Through some miracle of fate
I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
The SEARCH is over
You were with me all the while
Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie, victims of the game
Then good luck, it finally struck
Like lighting from the blue
Every highway's leading me back to you
Now at last, I hold you
Now all is said and done
The SEARCH has come full circle
Our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me
Show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain
The man I really am
I was living for a dream
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world
That was just my style
Then I touched your hand
I could hear you whisper
The SEARCH is over
Love was right before my eyes

There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you
There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could SEARCH the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
Another you, another you

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I've SEARCHED and I've SEARCHED
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord [(one accord)]
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees
Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord
You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray [(knees and pray)]
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way [(and you'll surely find the way)]
I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me SEARCHING for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me SEARCHING for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me SEARCHING for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me SEARCHING for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me SEARCHING for a heart of gold
You keep me SEARCHING and I'm growing old
Keep me SEARCHING for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my BROTHER
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my BROTHER
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my BROTHER
He's my BROTHER
He ain't heavy, he's my BROTHER, he ain't heavy

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me
It's love, BROTHER Love say
BROTHER Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
BROTHER Love's show
Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes
It's love, BROTHER Love say
BROTHER Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
'Bout BROTHER Love's show
Hallelujah, brothers
Halle-hallelujah
I said BROTHER'S
(Hallelujah) Now you got yourself two good hands
(Halle-hallelujah) And when your BROTHER is troubled,
You gotta reach out your one hand for him
(Hallelujah) 'Cause that's what it's there for
(Halle-hallelujah) And when your heart is troubled,
You gotta reach out your other hand
(Hallelujah) Reach it out to the man up there
(Halle-hallelujah) 'Cause that's what he's there for
Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart I know
I will never stray

He was my BROTHER
Five years older than I
He was my brother
Twenty-three years old the day he died
Freedom writer
They cursed my brother to his face
"Go home, outsider
This town's gonna be your buryin' place"
He was singin' on his knees
An angry mob trailed along
They shot my brother dead
Because he hated what was wrong
He was my brother
Tears can't bring him back to me
He, he was my brother
And he died so his brothers could be free
He died so his brothers could be free
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
He should know, he's been there enough
Oh I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh
Daniel my BROTHER you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Oh Daniel my BROTHER you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

And I can see Daniel waving goodbye

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
Treat him well, he is your BROTHER
You might need his help one day
We depend on one another
Love him that's the only way
On the road, on the road that we're going
We all need, we all need words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him that's the only way
I was a woman never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying
Treat him well, he is your brother, brother
You might need his help one day, he's your brother
We depend on one another, brother
Love him that's the only way
On the road, on the road that we're going, that we're going
We all need, we all need words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother, brother
Love him that's the only way
Treat him well, he is your brother, brother
You might need his help one day, he's your brother
We depend on one another, brother
Love him, that's the only way
Treat him well, he is your brother, brother
You might need his help one day, he's your brother
We depend on one another, brother
Hand over my face
I am related to my enemy
Our house on fire and big brother
Brother tried to put the blame on me
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back
Oh better back on
You use the flag as a bandage
Oh my big brother's a pocket hypocrisy
In the closet, my pleasures 'cause big brother
Brother don't wanna just let me be
Oh, little sister, you and me can rise above
Oh, ain't no brother - back to back to back
Oh better back on [x2]
Hey now
Brother
Hey now [x3]
In my mind there's a clearing
Rose gardens open grey skies
Oh no one's hurting
And I'm joying
I'm flying [x2]
Oh, back to back to back, oh better back on
Back to back to back, back come on
Back to back to back to back to back, back
Hey now
Brother
Big brother, brother, brother
Hey now

Well, we heard rumors from the bases
Frankfort girls got pretty faces

Boiler bustin' to blow its stack
Towns and villages flyin' by
Farewell frauleins, don't you cry
You'll soon get another G.I.
Come on, train, and get the lead out
Well, one more day we gotta sweat out
Frantic frauleins at the station
They're ready for a celebration

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, because
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox in four parts without commercial interruptions
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle
And leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams, and Spiro Agnew
To eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre
And will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs
The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because
The revolution will not be televised, brother
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mae pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 on report from 29 districts
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still lifes of Roy Wilkins
Strolling through Watts in a red, black, and green liberation jumpsuit that he has been saving for just the proper occasion
Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damn relevant
And women will not care if Dick finally got down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow
Because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Keys
Nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdinck, or The Rare Earth
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people
You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, the tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat
The revolution will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run, brothers
The revolution will be live
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the telly
Seeing me go nowhere
Your name is big brother
You say that you're tired of me protesting
Children dying everyday
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door
Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook
Writing it down everyday
Your name is I'll see ya
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres
The President of your soul
I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me 'round election time
I live in the ghetto
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side
My name is secluded
We live in a house the size of a matchbox
Roaches live with us wall to wall
You've killed all our leaders
I don't even have to do nothing to you
You'll cause your own country to fall
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Welcome to the beat of the city street
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
Watching the time passing by
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better keep them on your side, big brother
Keep them satisfied
Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting
'Cause nobody wants to cry, yeah
And nobody wants to die
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
And get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Hey big brother, I know you're out there somewhere
If we don't get our thing together, big brother will be watching us
He ain't gonna get me, are you gonna let him get you?
He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no
Big brother's coming
No he'll never get me, no no no no
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
Hey big brother, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
Hey big brother, yeah, yeah, yeah
"You really don’t understand, do you? Hey, man, don’t you realize that in order for us to make this thing work, man, we’ve got to get rid of the pimps and the pushers and the prostitutes and then start all over again clean."
"Hey, look nobody’s pushing me anywhere, ok? I mean, not you not the cops, nobody now. I mean, you wanna get rid of the pushers, I’ll help you. But, don’t send your people after me."
"Oh, come on, John. Can’t you see that we can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other? We’ve gotta come down on both of ‘em at the same time in order for this whole thing to work for the people."
" Hey, look. Nobody’s closing me out of my business."
Ooooh ooooooooh eee ooooh ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
We brothers gonna work it out
We brothers gonna work it out
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Gonna get it now
Now don't give him no peace sign
If you don't mean it from your heart
United we can get over
But, yet we're still apart
Cause each man demands respect
And to get an equal share
And until you're givin' him that
There'll be no peace...
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
Ooooh! We must all join hands
We can march across this land in peace!
(Brother's gonna work it out)
Love, joy, with that understanding of truly who we are
Instead of brother turning on sister
Sister turning on brother
Now how you gonna get it together
Being against one another?
Shoot ups, live up so high
Till your world has turned to stone
How you can you deal with the truth
When reality's all gone?
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
All brothers sing
Stop the pimps, the hustler and
The pusher man as fast you can
Open your ears and eyes to the facts
Of what's truly holding you back!
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoh
Brother needs your help
Now, can't you see?
Aw he's got to have it
Oh right on
Ohhhh yeah
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Now, on the for real side:
All the answers to your problems you can find
Yet you stay locked behind defeat
Yet the key is in your mind
Brother to win your brother's trust
These five things you must
Stop your robbing, stealing, killing, cheating and lying
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Oh brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it all out (brother's gonna work it out)
Brother's gonna work it (brother's gonna work it out)
Though I never met you
And we spoke not a word
I'll never forget you
Through stories that I have heard
For you unknown brother
My baby's mother's pained
Because your soul is in heaven
But your memory remains
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play
Your eyes shined bright
When you were a kid
Your sisters loved you
And all that you did
Big brother, big brother
Don't worry a bit
Your flame has not faded
Since the day it was lit
Your life was joy
Your mama's only boy
And when the skies are blue
Big brother, they're blue for you
We'll smile like pictures
Of you as a boy
Before you retired
To heavenly joy
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We will walk through fields where children play

I've never had a friend like you
BROTHER
Never had an enemy like you
I had to cut the ties between us
I had to walk 10 steps away and take aim
I had to cut the ties between us
Had to leave my heart behind with my name
I've never had a friend like you
Brother
Never had an enemy like you
I catch your face in the mirror
It's me looking right back at myself
I can't tell who is the winner
Now I can't tell if I'm something else
I've never had a friend like you
Brother
Never had an enemy like you
