LAST SOLDIER [Bridge School Benefit 2001]

Artwork: Brad

My number's up
My time has come 
Sounds like they're playin' my song 
On the altar 
My picture... 
Will be there while I'm gone 

There'll be time for laughin' 
There's no time to cry 
Soon I will be leavin' 
Look me in the eye 

No matter what's in front of me 
It's your face that I see. 
And the future of our young one 
and this is what fuels me 

There's no time for laughin' 
There's no time to cry 
Soon I will be leavin' 
Look me in the eye 

The oath I took
not so seriously 
The world's gathered steam 
Snd caught up with me 
And my decisions been made 
Some other place 
By someone I don't know 
And they don't know me 

This is no time for laughin' 
There's no time to cry 
Soon I will be leavin' 
Look me in the eye

 

INDIFFERENCE [Bridge School Benefit 2001] 
*con Ben Harper

Artwork: Jeff Ament

I will light a match this mornin', so I won't be alone 
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone 
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam 
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day in Hell... 

How much difference does it make 
How much difference does it make, yeah... 

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm 
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired 
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind 

Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind 
How much difference does it make 

Mmm, how much difference does it make...how much difference... 

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune 
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room 

How much difference 
How much difference does it make

 

GIMME SOME TRUTH [John Lennon] [Groundwork 22.10.01]

Artwork: Jeff Ament

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocket full of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

I'm sick of death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocket full of hope
It's money for dope
Money for rope

I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All i want is the truth 
Just give me the truth 
Give me some truth
All i want is the truth
All i want is the truth
All i want is some truth
Just give me some truth...
Truth...  

 

I JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO [Ramones]
*Cantata da Jeff Ament

Artwork: Brad/ Jeff Ament

Hangin' out on Second Avenue
Eating chicken vindaloo
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna have something to do

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Wait-now
Wait-now

Wait for me now

Handing out all by myself
I don't want to be with anybody else
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna have something to do

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Alright
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, all night
Tonight, tonight
