Mist

Rich Man

You smile at me

From your ivory tower in the clouds

But down here on my Mother Earth

The cries are getting loud

Pay attention Mr. Rich Man

Your greedy ways took my work

I'm telling you how it is

For whatever breath it's worth

Judgement Day is coming

You cannot hide away

Jah is watching everything you do

On every single day

I'm no politician

I may be sick or old

You live in a mansion

I shiver In the cold

I pay my taxes

You paid nothing and complain

That the people don't appreciate

How you orchestrate the game

How long can you ignore us

You cannot turn away

99 percent suffer

As you collect your million dollar

payday

Judgement Day is coming

You cannot hide away

Jah is watching everything you do

On every single day

Greed will be your downfall

Rich Man you have no idea

It's to you at the very top

That I want to make myself clear

There's a revolution coming

Open your diamond-crusted eyes

Someday Jah will hold you to account

For your greedy, evil lies

Don't blame me for this situation

It's you who are to blame

You take our money and you hoard it

To you it's just a game

Judgement Day is coming

You cannot hideaway

Jah is watching everything you do

Every single day

Politician

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were a vampire

You've got that blood lust vision

In your eyes

If I didn't know better

I'd swear you had bewitched me

Casting spells

On my TV

If I didn't know better

I might think you were evil

But there's no prize for being right

Politician

We Are The People

We are the people

Who populate the Earth

Living in harmony

In the lands of our birth

We are the shadows

You sense beyond the mist

We are the people

Your politics dismiss

There are men

Who will never

See beyond control

Plunder Earth’s riches

Ravage our souls

If there is a God

He must surely hate the lying

If there is a Goddess

She surely must be crying

We are the people

Who populate the Earth

Every life has value

Every creature worth

We are the shadows

We live beyond the mist

We are the people

Who cannot be dismissed

We live beyond the oceans

From sea to shining sea

We are the people

Let us all live free

Once we lived in balance

Now we gather rust

Servants of the machinery

Our bones turned to dust

We are the people

Who live on Mother Earth

Everyone has value

Every creature worth

We are the people

Who live inside the mist

We are the people

Who will not be dismissed

Two legged people

Four legged people

Tall standing people

Sky flying people

Six legged people

Eight legged people

Swimming the waters

Crawling on the ocean floor

Grandfather mountains

All the grasses that grow

Flowers and insects

Raindrops and dew

We are the people

We cannot be dismissed

We Are The People

End Of The Day

I used to think I knew

where my life was going,

but I guess

too many things

got in the way

A fool will make mistakes

And then regret them,

But I never thought

I’d live to see the day

There were shadows in my heart,

things I couldn’t mention

Your smiles were full of lies

You were looking for attention

Afraid of what you'll do,

afraid of what I’ll say,

Don't think I should see you

At the end of the day

hahahaha

There were times when I must admit

I used to believe you

When you used to say

everything was real

But there was nothing I could see

in your eyes

That would lead me

to believe

that's how you really feel

Afraid of what I’ll do,

afraid of what I’ll say,

I don't think I should see you

At the end of the day

Afraid of what I’ll do,

afraid of what I’ll say,

I don't think I should see you

At the end of the day

no,

Hahahaha

hahahaha

I keep hearing

Other loves will come my way

But I can't help hearing

All the little lies you

used to say

Can't believe I listened

Can't believe I cared

At the end of the day for

All the little secrets we shared

hahahaha

Don't Fall Down

Don’t Fall Down

Don't tell me you're a genius

I've seen monkeys who are smarter than you

The proof is in the pudding

Everything I'm saying is true

We dance around in circles

Self-absorbed - - you're so vain

With your leather boots and your push-up Bra

Attitude like novocaine

Hey mon, look where you steppin

Don't fall down

I and I - could hurt yourself

Don't fall down, no mon

Give millions of dollars to charity

But charity begins at home

The national debt is your pocket change

Think I'll go it alone

Hey mon, look where you steppin

Don't fall down

Be careful where you are walkin

Don't fall down, no mon

Devils In The Details

I've been down this road before

I know where it ends

With ups and downs and curves

And too many bends

It's a messed-up situation

And I've been there before

An altered destination

A closing door

There are devils in the details

That much I know

Just don't drive too fast

But don't go too slow

Its a restless kinda temptation

That brings me back home

But this road has many hazards

And I should have known

There are devils in the details

That much I know

Just don't drive too fast

But don't go too slow

There are devils in the details

Wherever you go

So don't you stay too long but

Don't rush to go

Devils In The Details

Cold Hard Ground

The sweat is pouring down my face in the unrelenting heat

Watching the local CSI chalk-tracing a body in the street

Dead body on the cold hard ground

He took at least a half-dozen rounds, oh no

I wake up in the night hearing sirens

The sound of screams echo from my dreams

It's 3 o'clock on another Friday morning,

But the hands of pain don't ever seem to stop

Dead body on the cold hard ground

Took at least a - a dozen rounds, oh no

Too many people hurting too many people

If that's not crazy, tell me, what is?

Hiding my sadness, hiding my fear, I face an angry mob

But I'm not here to resurrect the dead, I'm here to do my job

Dead body on the cold hard ground

In my head I'm shutting down, oh no, oh no

Just another misconception - I can't separate fact from fiction

Oh no, oh no

I see their faces, a wall of broken glass, bullet casings in bloody pools

I want this over fast

Dead body on the cold hard ground, I lost track of how many rounds, oh no

Dead body on the cold hard ground

In my head I'm - I'm shutting down, oh no, oh no

Cold Hard Ground

All By Myself

Put this rocket in Overdrive

Wish me some luck, I hope I survive

Weather is good, All systems are go

Mission Control says we're gonna roll

Got enuff thrust to get off this rock

Stick of Dynamite with me on top

Secret destination, I don't know

So up, up, and away I go

It's white hot, sunspot, no robot

All by myself

I'm bloodshot, can't stop

All by my...... self

Ten long years in outer space

Yo', remember me, do you miss my face

Zippin' around all over the place

I'm livin' by myself

Better think about saving your hide

Out here, where the worlds collide

I'm gettin' used to being alone

I don't think I'm going home

I'm rundown, I'm brokedown, It's sundown

All by myself

I'm lost in.... deep space

All by myself

It's white hot, sunspot, no robot

All by myself

I'm bloodshot, can't stop

All by myself

Searching

I've combed the deserts in the pouring rain

I swam the rivers in a drought

I've climbed the mountains they all look the same

I looked inside and I looked out

I've sifted every little grain of sand

I've been lost out in the snow

I tamed the forests as I roamed this land

Searching every high and every low

I've searched this country from end to end

Dreaming the dream for days untold

Counted the stars as the wind whispered your name

Oasis islands barren and cold

I've walked the highways searching for your face

Thousands of people, but not a trace

Ocean to ocean listening for your sigh

Watching the seasons pass me by
