Ain't the Pie Big Enough

Hateful voices all around
Serve to fan the flames
Got to be the other's fault
So call 'em nasty names
We've been given so much
Really such a shame
Fear eating all of us up
Need someone to blame
CHORUS Ain't the pie big enough for all of us to live well (2x)
Why's it so hard to figure out
All we ever do is yell
Oh, will we ever work it out
Only time will tell
Would you say that to my face
If I met you on the street
Would you keep me in my place
To make you feel complete, feel complete, feel complete
Tell me I'm naive
Dismiss me as a fool
Just trying to live by the golden rule
CHORUS
Dark powers that be
Wanna tear us apart
Refuse to believe
That's a good place to start
Stand up for the truth
In a post-truth world
Free your mind
And your ass will follow
CHORUS
C'mon, let's work it out

Ain’t no way at all
To release this aching fear
That fills all of us here
Lock it up inside
There’s no place left to hide
Ain’t no way at all
To know what we’re heading for
What waits upon the shore
Washed in with the tide
And I’m still on the wrong side
Still on the wrong side
You follow anybody that might know the way
You search his eyes to find what it is you oughta say
And you know nobody’s listening when you sink down to your knees
Ain’t no way at all
To know where I’m free to be
Or what my eyes will see
Let ‘em take me for a ride
I’m still on the wrong side
Still on the wrong side
I guess I might never find
Somewhere that’s really mine

Get That Light

We're seeing all the signs you know
There will be better times you know
Never wished upon a star
But somehow you turned out who you are
No one ever set me up so nice
Now you got me thinkin' twice
When I look inside myself
It's just you and no one else
I'm talking like I never do
Cuz I wanna be the one you wanna bump it to
We're seeing all the signs you know
There will be better times you know
We want it super size you know
Oh, where'd you get that light?
So good that I think I might
Get with the flow and stop the fight
Just a simple matter of fact
No reason to be looking back
Got me taking off my clothes
What's next nobody knows
All that talkin' and teasin'
Anybody could see my reason
We're seeing all the signs you know
There will be better times you know
We want it super size you know
Oh, where'd you get that light?

Open Your Eyes

You come around when you wanna
There's always an open door
The way it oughta be
You let the words come thoughtless
It's like you have no idea
The way you work on me
Thought I had it all together
Wouldn't make the same mistake
But you drive the word sucker right across my back
7 come 11 and I'm off the track
CHORUS Open your eyes
You know what's happening
You're always listening for a knock on the door
Then you realize
Nothing is changing
He got what he wanted
But you wanted more
Why you gotta act so special?
You're just someone that I used to know
Do you even know yourself?
Not gonna go there with you this time
Giving you the sign
Way before you get
Get to the end - the end of your line
CHORUS-long
Gotta give you up
I know-I know I need to make it stop
Gotta give you up
You say it like you mean it - I've had enough
Wanna put you down, lay you out, tell you off
Think you got me where you want me, don't be so sure

Very Funky Christmas
03:26
|

Been feeling so uneasy
Like the ground shifting under my feet, I got
Such terrible suspicions
About all of the people I meet
I thought that we had made some progress
Well at least that's what I wanna believe
We're still so divided
Guess I was naive
It's a very funky Christmas
(Need some spirit now)
We're all looking for a savior
Somebody to fix us up
Keep us walking on the same path
Or find a way to shoot it up
[And so we get] people hearing what they want to
No one there to talk 'em down
If we go on picking fights with strangers
Is the truth ever gonna get found
It's a funky Christmas
How we gonna get peace, baby
How we gonna find some joy
Can we steel ourselves against it
Try to block out the noise
We could smile at a stranger
Find some more songs to sing
Look real hard for signs of hope that the season might bring
It's a very funky Christmas
(Need some spirit now)
It's what we got
Like it or not
It's what we got
