BOB SEGAR 2+2=
Yes it's true I am a young man
but I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna kill nobody
but I must if you so will
And if I raise my hand in question
you just say that I'm a fool
Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rules
can you stand and call me upstart
Ask what answer can I find, I ain't sayin' I'm a genius
2+2 is on my mind

Well I knew a guy in high school
just an average friendly guy
And he had himself a girlfriend
and you made them say goodbye
Now he's buried in the mud
over foreign jungle land
And his girl just sits and cries
she just doesn't understand
So you say he died for freedom
well if he died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow
2+2 is on my mind

All I know is that I'm young and your rules they are old
If I've got to kill to live
then there's something left untold
I'm no statesman I'm no general
I'm no kid I'll never be
It's the rules not the soldier
that I find the real enemy

I'm no prophet I'm no rebel
I'm just asking you why
I just want a simple answer
why it is I 've got to die
I'm a simple minded guy
2+2 is on my mind

Guyute by Phish https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iIn88jA0rkY

Guyute was the ugly pig
Who walked on me and danced a jig
That he had learned when he was six
Then stopped and did some other tricks

Like pulling weapons from his coat
And holding them against my throat
He lectured me in language strange
And scampered quickly out of range

I'm bouncing like a newborn elf
I can't remain inside myself
Guyute glances in my eyes
And manages to hypnotize

Me as I sleep the sleep of death
He sucks from me my only breath
That I had breathed since I was ten
I hope this happens once again

 

[Stoner4Life]

Strange lyrics sad panda .....if you can call them lyrics.

those are the kind of lyrics that Justin Bieber is capable of writing.......

 

[bombadil.360]

5 pages and no mention of the King? the Prophet? the One?

let me fix that:

Bob Marley, Small Axe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eciArkBTeBM

"Small Axe"

Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver

So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

These are the words
Of my master, keep on tellin' me
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)

If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

(To cut you down)

(To cut you down)

These are the words
Of my master, tellin' me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)

If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened ...

One of my favorite artists, this song just kinda speaks to me... He said it best.... It's 4:20 24/7 365

Keller Williams
"It's A Plant"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MzcnaWDB28

Well it’s a plant , but it can’t grow freely
At least not in this space and time
Where can we begin, shouldn’t it be a sin
Fighting against the soldiers of sense
That brings the peace to my mind

The peace to my mind
Oh why is it a crime?

It’s against the law
Well I hope this freeze will thaw
Before I die, from this space and time

And the politics, the folks that the nation picks
Are they high, or afraid to try

They’re afraid to try
Oh why is it a crime?

But whatever you do, you make sure it’s the right thing for you
But if you pass, at least allow us to roll around in the grass
Because it’s time it’s 420, 24/7...365

Well that nation’s debt
Kind of makes the man upset
But we know and they know
The answer is in this space and time
Create work, just plow the fucking dirt
Medicine clothes, and the paper make my head feel so fine

My head feels so fine
Oh why is it a crime?

But whatever you do, you make sure it’s the right thing for you
But if you pass, at least allow us to roll around in the grass
Because it’s time it’s 420, 24/7...365

Well is it meant to be
Is it that far away from reality
Open up the worlds mind
And free the kind

It could lube the cars, mellow out the bars
Make room in jail for the killers in this time

Because it’s just a plant
But it can’t grow freely

My shits fucked up

Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
He said, "Let me break it to you, son"
Your shit's fucked up."
I said, "my shit's fucked up?"
Well, I don't see how-"
He said, "The shit that used to work-
It won't work now."

I had a dream
Ah, shucks, oh, well
Now it's all fucked up
It's shot to hell

Yeah, yeah, my shit's fucked up
It has to happen to the best of us
The rich folks suffer like the rest of us
It'll happen to you

That amazing grace
Sort of passed you by
You wake up every day
And you start to cry
Yeah, you want to die
But you just can't quit
Let me break it on down:
It's the fucked up shit

An easy one first. I love Bob, but..... Don't think twice it's alright.


It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It don’t matter, anyhow

An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don’t know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I’ll be gone

You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on

Don’t think twice, it’s all right

It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe

That light I never knowed

An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe

I’m on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin’ anyway

So don’t think twice, it’s all right

It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal

Like you never did before

It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal

I can’t hear you anymore

I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I’m told

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don’t think twice, it’s all right

I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe

Where I’m bound, I can’t tell

But goodbye’s too good a word, gal

So I’ll just say fare thee well

I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don’t mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don’t think twice, it’s all right

 

[sadpanda]

there's just something magical about Toto's beautiful Africa [youtube], lyrics included! btw this is the most amazing non-Toto cover (must see!)

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say. "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you."

[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me awaaaaaay from youuuuuuu
There's nothing that a hundred men or moooore could ever doooooooo
I bless the raaaaaaaains down in Aaaaaafricaaaaaaaa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaAAAAaaaaAAAAaaad.... ooooh ooooohhh

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

[Chorus]

I dont know what blessing the rains down in Africa even means, but THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO DO THAT

Back in the day of 501's and flannel shirts....there was Maiden ! \m/

Lyrics

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me


Oh, I've never felt so strange
But, I'm not going insane


I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do


Oh, they drain my strength away
Oh, they're asking me to stay


Nightmares, spirits calling me
Nightmares, they won't leave me be


All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool


Now, I feel they are so near
I, begin to see them clear


Nightmares, coming all the time
Nightmares, Will give me peace of mind


Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too


Oh, we'll drown together
It, will be forever


Nightmares, forever calling me
Nightmares, Now we rest in peace

What Do You Do For Money Honey


AC/DC

You're working in bars
Riding in cars
Never gonna give it for free
Your apartment with a view
On the finest avenue
Looking at your beat on the street
You're always pushing, shoving
Satisfied with nothing
You bitch, you must be getting old
So stop your love on the road
All your digging for gold
You make me wonder
Yes I wonder, I wonder
Honey, whaddya do for money
Honey, whaddya do for money
Where you get your kicks
You're loving on the take
And you're always on the make
Squeezing all the blood out of men
They're all standing in a queue
Just to spend the night with you
It's business as usual again
You're always grabbin', stabbin'
Trying to get it back in
But girl you must be getting slow
So stop your love on the road
All your digging for gold
You make me wonder
Yes I wonder, yes I wonder
Honey, whaddya do for money
Honey, whaddya do for money
Yeah, whaddya do for money honey, how you get your kicks
Whaddya do for money honey, how you get your licks
Go
Yeow
Honey, whaddya do for money
I said, Honey, whaddya do for money
Oh ho honey
Oh honey
Whaddya do for money
What you gonna do
Honey
Oh yeah honey
Whaddya do for money
What you gonna do
Oh, what you gonna do

Let me put my love into you........

Lyrics

Flying on a free flight
Driving all night
With my machinery
'Cause I got the power

Any hour
To show the man in me
I got reputations
Blown to pieces

With my artillery
I'll be guided in
We'll be ridin'
Given what you got to me

Don't you struggle
Don't you fight
Don't you worry
'Cause it's your turn tonight

Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me cut your cake with my knife

Like a fever
Burning faster
You spark the fire in me
Crazy feelings
Got me reeling
They got me raising steam

Don't you struggle
Don't you fight
Don't you worry
'Cause it's your turn tonight

Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me cut your cake with my knife

Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me cut your cake with my knife

Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me give it all, let me give it all
To you, to you
Give it all

Loser - Garcia.

If I had a gun for every ace I've drawn
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby cause I'm moaning low
You know I'm only in it for the gold

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
You'll never find another honest man

Last fair deal in the country, sweet Suzy
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is, baby
Before you let my deal go down

Don't you push me baby
Because I'm moaning low
I know a little something
You won't ever know
Don't you touch hard liquor just
A cup of cold coffee
Gonna get up
In the morning and go

Everybody's bragging and drinking that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shine
Come to Daddy on an inside straight
I got no chance of losing this time
No, I got no chance of losing this time

The last line of that song has stuck with me through more occasions than I can count.

I have the Dead or Tool on almost all the time... quite the combo?

Life by the drop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-51Nle_2MM


Hello there my old friend
Not so long ago it was till the end
We played outside in the pourin' rain
On our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
that's how it happened livin' life by the drop
Up and down the road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter or time
You're livin' out dreams of you on top
My mind is achin' oh lord it won't stop
that's how it happened life by the drop
No waste of time we're allowed today
Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way
Times been between us,a means to a end
God its good to be here walkin' together my friend
Livin' our dreams
My mind stoped achin'
that's how it happened livin' life by the drop

Tom Waits......'HEART ATTACK & VINE'

Liar, liar with your pants on fire
White spades hangin' on the telephone wire
Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line
You'll never recognize yourself on Heartattack and Vine

Doctor, lawyer, beggarman, thief
Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief
If you want a taste of madness you'll have to wait in line
You'll probably see someone you know on Heartattack and Vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line
What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top
With the pedal pushers, sucking on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine
You can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine

Better off in Iowa, against your scrambled eggs
Than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs
You'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time
Your're waitin' for the RTD on Heartattack and Vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a p-p-punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line
What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine

Liar, liar with your pants on fire
White spades hangin' on the telephone wire
Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line
You'll never recognize yourself on Heartattack and Vine

Doctor, lawyer, beggarman, thief
Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief
If you want a taste of madness you'll have to wait in line
You'll probably see someone you know on Heartattack and Vine

See that little Jersey girl in the see-through top
With the pedal pushers, sucking on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine
You can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine

Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line
What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine.

this one seemed appropriate here.......

Johnny Cash

~Ring of Fire~


Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring.
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child,
Oh, but the fire went wild.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down as the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.




to go along w/that classic pic of Johnny above
I was lucky to find a 1963 recording of this tune.

the audio track is clear but as you'll see it's some-
what limited to the recording medium of the day.

"Me So Horny"

 

[Stoner4Life]

'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'
The Animals ~ 1965

Baby, do you understand me now?
If sometimes I seem to be mad
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
But when things go wrong I seem to be mad.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And then again it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I get edgy, I want you to know,
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I've got my share,
And that's one thing I never need to do

Cause I love you, Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know that I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing, some simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[jikko77]

mostly depends on the mood.

usually i'd say:

Presente tense

"Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays...a lesson to be applied...
Are you gettin' something out of this all encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets oh...
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense...
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines?
Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder
To find an approach and a way to live...
Are we gettin' something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh...
Or you can come to terms and realize...
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh...
A-makes much more sense to live in the present tense..."
