In the middle of the road you see the darndest things
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
And man, I don't mean a Hampstead nursery
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody Third World
The babies just come with the scenery

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Alright, let's go

So you think your schooling is phoney
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say, "It all depends on money
And who is in your family tree"

 

Right (right), you're bloody well right
You got a bloody right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know, you got a right to say

A lady that I know just came from Columbia
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuana ha-ha
She said it was the best in all the land


And I said:
No no no no, I don't smoke it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,

It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now

 

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

 

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
(Smoke) on the water, you guys are great

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel

 

And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save

 

And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal

 

And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say

 

And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight

 

And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Train roll on
On down the line, won't you
Please take me far away

Now I feel the wind blow
Outside my door, means I'm
I'm leaving my woman at home, Lordy

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Oh, my baby's gone, with the wind

Well, I'm just out of school
Like a real, real cool
Gotta dance like a fool
Got the message that
I've gotta be a wild one
Oh yeah, I'm a wild one

Gonna break and loose
Gonna keep a movin' wild
Gonna keep a swingin', baby
I'm a real wild child

From my tape deck there's a recklessness
Inflections of the world we want
All my friends, my rusty truck
We're just specks of love, directionless
Call this band just what we want
We can change the name from month to month
Four guitars and zero drums
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's going to happen, yeah

 

'Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Or Aphrodite
Da-da-da-da-da
She's so high
High above me

Standin' in the rain, waitin' on a train
I got a one way ticket, never turnin' back
Ridin' out the pain, burnin' in my brain
I'm gonna leave my sins in the past
Like blood on the tracks
Ooh, ooh
Like blood on the tracks

Blue Jean
I just met a girl named Blue Jean

Blue Jean
She got a camouflaged face and no money

 

Remember
They always let you down when you need 'em

Oh, Blue Jean
Is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?

 

She got a police bike
She got a turned up nose

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone

 

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Tu do do do, tu do do do, tu do do do, tu do do do do do do
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place

Woman you know that I miss you
And I can't miss you no more
I got this ride doing seventy miles an hour
She's loaded she's down to the floor
But I've got to reach that Arkansas line
Before the sun goes down... Yeah

 

But woman you're always on my mind
Twenty-four hours at a time
So my woman I'm hoping you feel the same way

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come a hangin' around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say
