Once I loved,
And I gave so much love to this love,
It was the world to me.
Once I cried,
At the thought I was foolish and proud,
And let you say goodbye.
Then one day,
From my infinite sadness you came,
And brought me love again.
Now I know,
That no matter whatever befalls,
I'll never let you go.
I will hold you close,
Make you stay.
Because love,
Is the saddest thing,
When it goes away.

In my corner I'm scoffing "hey lookit the bragger",
I dont care for his opinions nor his swagger.
He's shooting lines while I'm shooting daggers.
The single life sucks and you suck too. Fuck you.

Because I am different and I love myself, and if you were different, like me, you might love yourself too.
Scatting.

Peace falls again after another try- thats fine.
Peace fought to free itself from inner-self indulgence and peace of mind
From me to you - a token of love - a half ounce of mushrooms all covered in blood - so we are cool, right?

Young American

He's pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, she frowns
"Gee my life's a funny thing, am I
still too young?"
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"
All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"
All night
He wants the young American
Young American, young American,
he wants the young American
All right
He wants the young American
Do you remember, your President Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay?
Or even yesterday?
How could you be so un-American?
Just you and your idols all sing in falsetto
'bout Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression?
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Laughing at all of the apple shiners
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, I ain't gonna bother you doll,
but yr heart got broken just like you wanted
All night
You want the young American
Young American, young American, you want the young American
All right
You want the young American
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man who can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can
sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got your face?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry?
All night
I want the young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
All right
I want the young American
