- CAN'T STOP FIGHTING
Paloma walks home at night from the maquiladora
and 8 days later, no one has saw her
sometimes she worked late
don't that tell ya just whats at stake
we can't stop fighting
at home, my sister, she told me a story
- Fan The Flames
That's the man you gotta give it to
we pay him our rent to have a hole in our roof
and when our neighbors burned
it was only because of telephone cords
Trash on sidewalks, broken windowpanes,
the pipes are leaking
they ain't gonna fix it 'til it's too far gone
- Hard Lovin
I been workin hard my whole life
I been fightin tooth and nail
just to take whats mine
I came in from the water grew up in the grain
now i'm livin in the city and i'm goin insane
when you're passin me by
well I can drink from the river til the ocean runs dry
I been sober as a judge
- NIGHT ISN'T BRIGHT
it's plain to see these days that theres an agitation
we live and we die by a politics of simplification
so hold fast to the ones you love
before theyre ripped away
we do what we like and they call us an abomination
they rigged the game and they say were a contamination
but what if we could stand together and make it stark
- NOBODY'S BABY
I can't contain myself when im looking at you
i don't wanna dance with nobody else
but i gotta know
do you want me too?
i get a jolt when our eyes meet
that i can't understand
i wanna feel the midnight heat
- Travelin' On
oh baby, gotta get out the map,
i'm somewhere down I can't find
I been watchin the clock
anyplace but not the right time yeah
and under the sun
lace up my boots and go on
gotta strike the match
let it burn
- WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON
Been trying for the heart of me
you know we ain't livin' up on easy street
if you need a friend, lord knows
I been down'n'out again and again
who will fall?
And who's gonna answer when they get that call?
So hold it close, keep it safe
I know that you'll be with us
- WORTH THE TEARS
why can't i take you home when i need you?
when i get you on your own i can't figure it out
you won't talk to me
tell me what is up
cuz lately i've been feelin' not good enough
so i wrote you a letter to tell you how i feel
