HANDWRITTEN SHEET - PAGE 5 OF 25

I know you're thinking
Pondering tommoron
I finally quit drinking
Drowning in my sorrow
Saved myself from sinking
I put down the bottle
When it started leaking
Somethings you only borrow
So I know what you're seeking
Just who do you lead or follow?
We both know of what I'm speaking
What do you need and what is hollow?

---

Well, you've been climbing the ladder
You've caught sight of the top wrong
Heard seen scowling faces and tongues that flatter
Not sure where one ends and the other's begun
On the very tip of your toes
Starting to lose all feeling
Ever wonder where it goes?
Figured it wasn't even worth stealing
But you find your guess incorrect
Looking around and everyone you suspect
Just who would have the will to mame?
To take something lost with out even a gain
A desperate act with no motivation
like taking food from a sufferer of stawation

COVERINGS

I have many hats
A fisher man's hat yet I don't fish
Even a birthday hat
Yet I have yet to make a wish

I own a base ball cap
And upon it my favorite team
As well as a straw hat
Reminding me of a pretty nature scene

A stocking hat upon my ears
Though strange not upon my feet
Of course I own a narrow blue visor
Which exposes my scalp to warm summer's heat

But since meeting you I have traded all my coverings
Varying in all shapes and sizes
I now wear always an invisible crown of happiness
And each coming day its height rises

The poorest chorus
I've been watching the white trashification
of these United States
It walks hand in hand
with the dropping prices of real estate
[strikethrough: which is tied directly to the Walmartization of]
[strikethrough: of our country's citizens by magnates]
[strikethrough: whose raised by television and are illegitimate]

I've been watching the white trashification
of these United States
I'm seeing values and morals slowly
[strikethrough: And] a sense of duty to country disintegrate

I've been watching the white trashification

[strikethrough: But] [strikethrough: more] [strikethrough: to] [strikethrough: it] [strikethrough: than] [strikethrough: just]
Supreme court rulings or what bills [strikethrough: get]
passed on the house floor on the senate

I've been watching the white trashification
of these United States
[strikethrough: Ideas] [strikethrough: seen] people getting loud but not taking a bath
in the aftirmath of [strikethrough: destruction] [strikethrough: and] Katrina open up the Floodgates

I've been watching the white trashification
of these United States
And all these kids having kids
who're raised by television and are illegitimate

I've been watching the white trashification
of these United States
Which is tied directly to the Walmartization of
our country's citizens by big magnates

I've been watching the white trashification
of these United States
The more get more and the poor get less
Your [strikethrough: big] mom and pop store has to liquidate

I've been watching the white trashification

But it's never seemed to be an issue
brought up at any presidential [strikethrough: candidate] candidate

There ain't no money in saving the world
When you ask for contributions
People just look at you funny
And say you're nuts like a squirrel
Won't join in my little revolution
Would rather go home and [crossed out: keep] shine up their pearls
Their priceless heirloom For their little girl
Mistaking attrition for absolution
reign supreme
Yet when it's her time to [crossed out: take] [crossed out: over]
Everything worth saving will be gone
Just when she's entering her prime
There'll [crossed out: be] nothing but wall-to-wall human beings
And she'll be left to wonder where [crossed out: things] it all went wrong
Her parents never acted on what they were Seeing
Just Kept on folling the [crossed out: to] orders of the old regime
When it was then time to wake up they just yawned

---

There are too many lives lacking purpose
yet so many with misplaced ambition
Just what's the point of existence
If you spend your entire life going fishing
I never understood remedial repetion
By those who could make a real difference
They end up selling their soul
For a few dollars a pound
All the while believing they're fully in control
Sometimes I wonder if they've ever stopped and
looked around
Perhaps they're too busy managing their bankroll

---

This is no type of world in which to play
Not that it matters much anyway
where you are going is more important
than where you came from
Can you hear me speaking to you
my unborn son?

---

The next wave, you watch it come break and then come tumbling down
You stay awake,

Another monday morning
Following a sleepless Sunday night
Groggy, tired and yawning
seems to be the story of your life
[crossed out: it's amazing] [crossed out: do anything at all]
living off [crossed out: thirty hours of sleep a week]
Tossing and turning staring at the ceiling
[heavily crossed out illegible text]
[crossed out: Either that or else you were counting sheep]

Many of us know how you're feeling
Living off [crossed out: of] thirty hours of sleep a week
Tossing and turning staring at the ceiling
Either that or else you were counting sheep

Living [crossed out: from] paycheck to paycheck
Struggling just to pay rent
Tighten up your belt that hangs [crossed out: this] [crossed out: a] loose around your/net
Thursday night and an empty wallet
Wondering where it all went?

Two full time jobs barely keeps the expenses met
Just enough gas to get back and forth to your [crossed out: job]
A few walls and a simple roof above your head
Don't need a door with a lock
For you don't have anything valuable enough
to rob

Can't free myself from my own mind
Sitting here on this fence
Waiting for some kind of sign

Not sure of what I'll find
Wanting to see the master plan

Into situations and places I don't want to be.
Keep begging me to become a member of the bourgeoisie
Still there are so many things that they just don't see

Julia has a garden so intricate in design
A secret place where the flowers grow
That only she can find

It is here where warm breezes blow
Gently along the waterline
Can't you feel the sunshine
yet she's the only one who'll ever know
what it's like to become one with the divine

beds full of daffodils and daisies overflow
Sunflowers in neat little rows all intertwined
Across which she would have to tip toe
Less she want to create a ripple back through time

Every seed here she did sow
'Tis spoken through the grapevine
Beneath the bridge across the brook the waters run slow
Almost as if the stars have become realigned

In the middle of the night with the moon aglow
She can study her thoughts from
Julia recollects her dreams as she awaits a sign
Here she can meditation on her thoughts from many years ago
And an everchanging world constantly redefined
Embracing the feelings she could never show
The resentment and hurt she held within her mind
Only the juniper trees have heard her full tale of woe
And they share with the skyline
what they know

A life as simple as Emerson or Henry David Thoreau
And such a nice view down along the coastline
as colorful and vibrant as Picasso or Van Gogh
the only other mortals to know of Art so fine

Gazing up towards the sky only the weeping willows
trees of hang low
Silhouetted by the soft pine
That sway to and fro
with the vines
Dancing Up and down the hedge row

Julia has a garden so intricate in design
A secret place where the flowers grow
That no one else can find

Julia has a garden so intricate in design / A secret place where the flowers grow that no one else can find /// A life as simple as Emerson or Henry David Thoreau / As colorful as Picasso or Van Gogh

One single ray of light broke through the clouds
Touched down upon the ground I see her standing there
By the time she had made up her mind to move the light was gone
Though it was never discussed
This strange phenomenon on this scene said so much
She stood there in the cool, crisp refreshing air
At six minutes past dawn
What I have discovered will help guide my steps
She either didn't notice or else didn't care
I was standing there taking in the cool crisp

By the time she had made up her mind to move the light was gone
Though it was never discussed
This strange phenomenon on this scene said so much
She stood there in the cool, crisp refreshing air
At six minutes past dawn
But I know another girl who was made up of sunshine
She's been waiting maybe she's been waiting for me
She's someone who knows just how I'm feeling
Yet she's still uncertain if we were meant to be
So I asked her if I could come see her
For it seems she's now ready to settle down
After five years of travelling all across the country
She picked her favorite state and said
"No more moving around"
searching for inspiration
And I've been [crossed out]
For a new picture to place inside my frame
I have grown bored of everything around me
But I'm unsure of what's to blame
Every day I'm growing older
And a little lower burns the flame
I've been seeking a new set of surroundings
A new life, a fresh face, a new name

[Bottom sheet, rightmost section]
I'm getting tired of waiting
For the time to be perfectly right
I'm packing my bags when I get home
And I'll be leaving sometime later tonight
I'm unsure of my exact destination
I desire a warmer locale
Maybe then I'll kick these winter time blues
And brighten up my entire morale
I know a girl who is made up of sunshine
She's been waiting maybe she's been waiting for me
She's someone who knows just how I'm feeling
Considering we've got a ten year history
I just told her that I am coming to see her
For it seems she's now ready to settle down
After five years of travelling across the country
She picked her favorite state and said
"No more moving around"
searching for inspiration
And I've been [crossed out]
For a new picture to place inside my frame
I have grown bored of everything around me
In some sense I'm returning to from where I came
I can't say that this story is finished
Only that soon I'll be heading west on a train

When creating your fate
And somethings are best left... unexplained

More concerned with the theft of identity

Government Sponsored torture is Kinda hard
Especially when you're a prisoner of a misguided war
Lobyists with wads of cash in their fists
To pay off the politicians who find it too hard to
resist
Tax cuts for the corporations and the rich
is the best way to end bipartizen ship
Our Federal banking system is backed by
worthless paper that's so easy to tear
Government sponsored terrorists rely solely
on ignorance and fear
We're losing our Civil liberties so fast
Soon we won't be able to speak, see or hear
IGNORANCE {struck: does not mean} INNOCENCE
Indifference is not a defense
Intolerance hides within all of us
Envy leads to jealousy - but of what?
Both Gluttony and Greed speak of things you dont need
It's illogical and impossible to defeat
And is as shameful as Sloth is {struck: do} to unseat
difficitas {struck: defeat}
I am growing tired of this disposable consumer

Why are those who say {struck: the} our globe isn't
warming still trying to lie to me?
Sure, there's no extinction of species
the ozone isn't depleting
we're not destroying nature with all these
toxins and pollutants our world isn't taking
a beating
Using up all our energy that can not be replaced
While tin cans {struck: and} paper and plastic that could

Our seas are over fished and rain forrests

FIGHT FOR PEACE
Come now Citizens of the world
Let us [scribbled out text] knock down this mental wall
Time to Let a new Flag unferl
Large [scribbled out text] us all
enough to [scribbled out text]
Let [scribbled out text]
open up all borders
Bridge both the land and shore

Endless Sea of humanity
That will Bridge both the land and shore
Become one Global Family
[scribbled out text] Let us divide [scribbled out text] more
not any

Realize difference makes us great
OPPOSED to tearing us apart
I swear to you it's not to late
And all it takes is one to start

It could be you who makes a stand
One burning monk can end a war
Wouldn't fight in Iraq - I ran
Didn't deem it worth fighting for

Unlock the door you have the key
[scribbled out text] Finally let the madness cease
Every body say it with me
What is my belief? Fight for peace!

IT'S YOUR TURN
(1) If you don't yet know who I am
Don't worry that will change
I am a very simple man
Both on and off this stage

(2) My life's work and my fun are one
That's why I'm so happy
Most of us regret something we've done
Won't let that entrap me

[scribbled-out text]

(3) I just look ahead [scribbled-out text] nevermind behind
(8) Helps keep me from wasting all my time
Best for your body, soul and mind
Can't press fast forward can't hit rewind

(5) You won't find me living in the past
too much to do time slips by so fast
We never know how long it'll last
So little sand in the hourglass

(6) [scribbled-out text] Don't spend your life...
[scribbled-out text]

Spend your life doing something you love
if it don't exist then make it up
[scribbled-out text]

(7) [scribbled-out text]

You only walk this trail one time round
Don't let your freams fade to the foreground

(4) Leave something they'll remember you by
(9) The Right Brothers were the [scribbled-out text] first
Neil Armstrong the first man on the moon to fly
Now it's your turn just what will you do?

I haven't given up or given in
I've just thrown all my fears into the wind
Finally had enough
Of playing the game not to lose rather than win

When my life is over
There won't be any regrets hanging above my deathbed
When my time expires
I won't be buried a liar I'll have [scratched out text] followed through on all the things I have said

The cloud of misery that once shadowed me
Negative energy that used to travel through me
All of the worries eating at my soul down inside

a world full of neglect

Things are leading South no matter which way
you faced
What is bitter to your eyes can give your
mouth a bad taste,
with the wind picking up more trash blowing
under around
There are three guys 'neath a bridge
passing a bottle around,

I see weeds along the sidewalk
growing through the cracks
I watch a kid walking alone going
home to a broken home following the
tracks
That
Seems Everywhere I look there's something that
hunts my eyes
They say another day another dollar
with a new day comes a new surprise
Of

It's not just the inner city where things are getting worse
When The intellectual property of so many needs [illegible]
to be rebuilt

Caught up in the rat race of time
Can't free myself from my mind
Sitting here on this fence
Waiting for a sign
Still searching for something
That may never be mine
Don't know where to look
Not sure of what i'll find
Wanting to see a master plan
Through the eyes of the divine

One single ray of light broke through the clouds
Touched down upon the ground I was standing on
Yet my lover right beside me just stood in my shadow
{struck: By} By the time she made up her mind to leave the light was gone
This morning our sunny day turned to {struck: right} {struck: gray} {struck: symbolism}
{struck: error} never spoke so loud
{struck: surrender} past dawn
Though it was never discussed this said so much about us
{struck: seen} {struck: such a strange phenomenon}
What I have discovered will help guide me {struck: what I've seen through} {struck: this brief little window}
She either didn't notice or didn't care {struck: at six minutes past dawn}
as she was standing there taking in the cool, crisp
refreshing air

{struck: days or nights}
ray of light lover right beside me
{struck: day and night} discover and help guide me

I found the rhyme
Have you found the reason?
killing time
'Tis the season
A bottle of wine
Can be so pleasing
Feeling fine
When my mind is at ease and
I know that nothing last forever

---

The last words I heard from you
was that all sense of hope was fading fast
But what you forget is that I cry too
Unclench your fist and remember this...
Given time all things must past

The path of life can be a rocky road
As the hills seem steeper with a heavy load on your back

Huh, money's nothing
but a sin to be born
And you ain't ready for whats instore
Stay in your house
stay in your room
you still can't hear
the sonic boom
Live for today
forget tomorrow
Fathers happiness now
there ain't no tomorrow
The tempters tempt
No government's exempt
B-t every mistake today
Is realized tomorrow
Where exactly is hee that unck sam
only
For he knows how screwed I am
It's his laws by which I am served
Still my fate is undeserved
Passed on to me by my forefathers kin
This special code, we call it sin
It's just like hunting on the fourth of July
Punished for his sins is why I die.
But during this time there is no guilt
On the foundation of mud we're built
AND we all know what happens to mud
when the winds start to howl soon comes the flood
Buried to our neck trapped in our breachers
I ain't God but i've heard the preachers,
When noone bends a hand
our castle is made of sand

Just what is wrong with me?
Maybe there is something wrong with us.
Living so vicarious - LY.
I took a minute to get away from myself
Decided to look through somebody else
Stared towards the street and the cars passing by
So many other souls maybe I'll give them a try
Looked at every car of every color
I soon discovered there were so many faces
Looked at all the people of every color
I soon discovered I gave myself some advice.
How can we be racist? It's the roll of the dice?
All the trees are green
I guess that's why they get along
So I'm just being me
That's why I sing this song
What else can you see?
You haven't seen all along
Hatred's only for the wicked
Eyes too being colored to see
So I'll tell them where to stick it!
So if they ever come asking me.

When you look at me and think to yourself that
I should act my age...
I look back at you and wonder who ever let you out
of your cage?
Today was strange yet the night lies ahead

I got a plan to get us through when we're down
You trust in me I'll trust in you

There once was this girl and this guy and me
Once just us two BUT we became three
She loved me for two years
Though she cried a thousand tears
We had our ups and downs and lefts and rights
Then I skipped town in the middle of the night
Yes I once loved her but I let her go
He fell in love and he told her so
A good man from her town
But he was caught on her rebound
He thought He was in good night from the start
The only problem was she closed her heart
As I soon learned it still belonged to me
Poor boy how was he supposed to see?

ABSOLUTELY MARIE
I know her name...
Absolutely Sweet Marie
These words filled my head
Describing some one I just met
Words I think Bob Dylan said
Just leave it up to him
To steal my phrase for you
Who is he to speak your name
Speaking Softly, sweet and true
Absolutely
Absolutely
Absolutely Sweet Marie

Words I think Bob Dylan said / Just leave it up to him to steal my phrase for you

THE LIGHT OR THE WHITE
It's The same faces in the same room only a different night
Just another day wasted but its much more complicated than wrong versus right
Dreams cast aside as they vanish, out of sight
You better choose your sides when, its the light against the white
You can get pleasure through people or pleasure through things
But when the ship starts sinking its time to cut the strings
Time to cut the lines and make up your mind
Either lead the pack or follow behind
Its the fight of your life
Better chose right
Both cut like a knife
Life saving surgery or amputation
A full time job, there aint no vacation

LIVING NEAR THE COURTHOUSE
When you're living near the court house
Trouble's bound to come your way
The law comes knocking at your door
Sorry but you're not serving jury duty
today
So many neighbors with so many eyes
Cops ask so many questions and tell so many
lies
No hand on the bible judge my friend
with handcuffs on there're no laws left to bend
when your living near the court house
living day today
Tell you all about it
But there's so much more to say
The midnight moon just rambles on and on
The poker player with a pair of deuces keeps
gambling on
and on
Tint the windows and close the blinds
Just like you've done so many times

FIELDS OF TIME
All the seeds I've sewn
Look and see how they've grown
Through the fields of time
[crossed out text: A]
Damn near blew my mind
that nearly all the weeds are gone
Oh see that sun and how it shines
Not a clound in the sky
Pinch me... So I know I didn't die
I don't mean to seem so surprised
If there's a god then he knows how hard I've tried
The seas I've swam
and the mountains I have climbed -
How much I have grown
The tears I have cried
The fears that I hide
When no one cares that I am all alone
Pondering how to get blood from a stone
And yet I have changed my tune
See the flowers now in bloom
Reaping the rewards on this lazy afternoon

MY WILL
You only live once...
yeah, at least I've got my name
You tried to give once...
Got burnt and you were never the same
Stay away from this one...
He went from healing to being on of the lame
Thy will be done...
only thing he's learned is how to point the blame

If you're over worked and underpaid
Don't complain just get in line
We are the tracks on which society is laid
Don't complain just get in line
From our backs the millionaires are made
Don't complain just get in line
It starts when you're little kid selling lemonade
Don't complain just get in line

If you're overworked and underpaid
Just nod your head, say you're doing fine
Pick up shovel, grab your spade
Just nod your head, say you're doing fine
Get back to work, carry on your trade
Just nod your head, say you're doing fine
Quite complaining about making minimum wage
Just nod your head, say you're doing fine

(Self-made barricade)
Let us unite from here, from everywhere
For now is our time to shine
Scream/Speak out if your life is defined by more than just your career
For now is our time to shine
If you're in your car then join our motor cade
For now is our time to shine
Sing the chorus and join our parade
For now is our time to shine

Just {struck: one} leak in the dam is all that it takes
Run, run, run

WAVES... They come so many ways
I'VE thought a lot about that today
Drown out sorrows
So they say
Crests and trophs

I let her know / That I let her go / Love her more than myself / Just the simple truth of proof of love / A weaving of hearts and minds

9 o'clock in the morning
I'm yawning
Can't get out of bed

Am I still dreaming?
'Cause it seems that this feeling
The music I'm hearing
Is playing only in my head

My soul is becoming lifted
I'm watching it try to fly away
All I know is want to follow
Such a beautiful way to start the day

Surely I'm tired
Now Suddenly inspired
Oh yeah - No more words need to be said

I wish my hardest for those who cant pay
[crossed out: both the]
Think about that thought for a moment
I light...
O kay...
You're right...
It's a hard way to make a living
But if you could see the smile on my face
at the end of the day
Maybe then you'd understand why when my
name gets mentioned people usually say

Life it's 10 percent what happens
And 90 percent how we [crossed out: xxxxxx] deal with it

Some people save lives.
Others live to save coins
As I watch the sun rise
I see a rose with its thorns

Potato is my satan
I'll eat it once you put it through
hell

---

(to go in)
I am the rules

What if one morning you woke up
and didn't love yourself at all?

Punching the clock is like getting punched in
the face
Slaving away wasting a day today
Can't sugar coat it
My gun is loaded

---

Father Time
The casino and father-time
Two who will take your last dime

Right Now... Is the time
Right Here... Is the place
Left out... Is not where to be
Time to rejoin... the human race

Being human- it ain't a
bad thing to be, no...
So long as you accept the fact that
they just put a price
on your life
Then E-BAYED
And your
Soul

looking back at my reflection in a dirty window
looking forward to better times ahead
looking for advice

---

My inspiration is fleeting
like two old friends meeting
on a dark and lonely, cold Road
My head is so deep in the sand
I know how to say hello in Afghan,
Iraq, Iran and Pakistan

Waves... They come so many ways
I've thought a lot about that today
Drowning sorrows
Some may say
Crests and Trophs
Are you in over your head?
I've been in over my head...
I've been in over my head...
I've been in over my head...
Had to catch my breath again
and then...

I SAW / I CONQUERED / I CAME

The bus arrived early / The train late / Time was against me / As it was growing late

I don't know what to tell ya...
I used to be a pretty good fella...
Then one day I did something that might sound strange
It was during the Ides of May that I changed my name

Soon I changed my ways
Which changed my means
As I fought my way Now I spend my days
Trapped among shattered dreams
cutting myself on my [?]
Left with no escape
Without a leap of faith

Who would catch me were I to fall?
No one. Perhaps it is better [crossed out: to crawl]? to crawl?
That's when I chose
That's when I lost it all. -> Or worse yet
That's when I lost it all. do nothing at all

Killed my Beagle
Deeply Superficial

The last words I heard from you / Was that all sense of hope was fading fast / But what you forget / Is that I cry too

I love you to learn you / Just to hate you and burn you / All too capable of being filled / by peace and love or death and kill

The weapon is loaded / There will soon be explosions / To a new Eden, Yeah! / The old me would lose to the new me

My fear is my friend / So long we've been together from the beginning until the very end /// It takes dialogue not debate / To make whole this fractured state
