    Creed: down to one last breath

    Please come now I think Im falling
    Im holding on to all I think is safe
    It seems I found the road to nowhere
    And Im trying to escape
    I yelled back when I heard thunder
    But Im down to one last breath
    And with it let me say
    Let me say

    Hold me now
    Im six feet from the edge and Im thinking
    That maybe six feet
    Aint so far down

    Im looking down now that its over
    Reflecting on all of my mistakes
    I thought I found the road to somewhere
    Somewhere in His grace
    I cried out heaven save me
    But Im down to one last breath
    And with it let me say
    Let me say

    Hold me now
    Im six feet from the edge and Im thinking
    That maybe six feet
    Aint so far down

    Sad eyes follow me
    But I still believe theres something left for me
    So please come stay with me
    Cause I still believe theres something left for you and me
    For you and me
    For you and me

    Hold me now
    Im six feet from the edge and Im thinking

    Creed: torn

    Peace is what they tell me
    Love am I unholy
    Lies are what they tell me
    Despise you that control me
    (chorus)
    The peace is dead in my soul
    I have blamed the reason for
    my intentions poor
    Yes I'm the one who
    the only one who
    Would carry on this far
    Torn, I'm filthy
    Born in my own misery
    Stole all that you gave me
    Control you claim you save me
    (chorus)

    "Won't Get Fooled Again" - The Who

    We'll be fighting in the streets
    With our children at our feet
    And the morals that they worship will be gone
    And the men who spurred us on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again

    The change, it had to come
    We knew it all along
    We were liberated from the fold, that's all
    And the world looks just the same
    And history ain't changed
    'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    I'll move myself and my family aside
    If we happen to be left half alive
    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
    Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
    Do ya?

    There's nothing in the streets
    Looks any different to me
    And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
    And the parting on the left
    Are now parting on the right
    And the beards have all grown longer overnight

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    Don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Taken In
    Mike And The Mechanics


    Taken in, taken in again
    Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
    Caught up in the promises left out in the air
    No pride, taken for a ride
    You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes
    I want to believe you but you know how to lie

    And if you say you understand I don't believe it
    And when you reach out for my hand I don't believe it
    And if you say you take the blame I don't believe it
    And if say that nothing's changed I don't believe it, don't believe it

    Taken in, taken in again
    Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
    There's one born every minute and you're looking at him

    And if you say you want me near I don't believe it
    And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it
    And when you swear that you are mine I don't believe it
    And it's your heart that's on the line I don't believe it, don't believe it

    Taken in, taken in again
    Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend
    Caught up in the promises, left out in the end
    No pride, taken for a ride
    You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes
    I'd love to believe you but you know how to lie

    You say you want me near I don't believe it
    And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it
    Oh, there's one born every minute, you're looking at him

    Taken in, taken in again
    Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend
    I want to believe you, oh
    When you say you understand
    When you reach out for my hand
    Oh, I wish I could believe you
    Taken in, taken in again

    Animals - We Gotta Get Outta This Place

    Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
    Watched his hair been turnin' grey
    He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

    Lee Dorsey - Working In A Coalmine

    Five o'clock in the mornin'
    I'm all ready up and gone
    Lord I am so tired
    How long can this go on?

    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

    Hey Belbab, you named my favorite tune, Maggie's Farm by Bob Dylan. I especially like the following: they had you a nickle, they hand you a dime, they ask you with a grin if you're having a good time, then they fine you every time you slam the door. I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
