Tracks1

  • *chorus
    I got 22 dollars in my bank account
    And I know that someday things are gonna turn around
    But I wouldn't trade a thing if I could have you here
    With my $22 in my bank account
    (TWENTY...!)

    verse 1
    You don't know how much time I spend all day thinkin'
    The thought of you with me seems so clear
    And when the stars are out I look up and start wishin'
    I wish tonight that I could have you here
    (YEAH…)
    (Ooh…TO - NIGHT…)
    Some people call me a pauper -
    (TREAT YOU RIGHT...)
    but I can promise you one thing
    I'll give you all of me
    (GIVE IT…GIVE YA ALL OF ME, GIRL…)

    *pre-chorus 1
    (Ooh...TO - NIGHT...)
    right now, I don't have much to offer
    (FEELS SO RIGHT…)
    But we're young, the sky's the limit
    One day I'll make ya see - please…

    *chorus
    I got - 22 dollars in my bank account
    Searching for the things I need up in the lost and found
    But I'll spend it all on you girl I don't even care
    ‘Cuz I want to see you smile - that's the only thing that matters -
    I got 22 dollars in my bank account
    And I know that someday things are gonna turn around
    But I wouldn't trade a thing if I could have you here
    With my $22 in my bank account
    (TWENTY....!)

    verse 2
    Every morning I get up and check my Visa - card…
    Make sure I got enough money left - to feed ya
    Cause I'm doing the paycheck to paycheck dance to make it
    Gotta have enough bank left so I don't have to fake it
    No…no…

    *pre-chorus
    (Ooooh TO - NIGHT…)
    I can't afford to buy you diamonds
    (TREAT YOU RIGHT…)
    But I promise you, promise you one thing -
    I'll give you all of me
    (GIVE IT, GIVE YA ALL OF ME, GIRL…)
    (Ooh TO - NIGHT)
    I'm not as rich as Paul Simon
    (FEELS SO RIGHT…)
    But We're Goin' to Scarborough Fair - just wait and see -

    *chorus
    I got 22 Dollars in my bank account
    I'm searching for the things I need up in the lost and found
    But I'll spend it all on you girl, I don't even care…
    Just gotta see you smile, that's the only thing that matters I got -
    22 dollars in my bank account
    And I know that someday things are gonna turn around
    But I wouldn't trade a thing if I could have you here…
    With my 22 dollars in my bank account…

    *outro
    Y'know…22 dollars goes a lot farther than you think
    Take you to Spain
    Hop on over to Belgium
    Then skip to London
    Lay with me and watch the London Bridge fall down…

  • Seven O’clock
    and I'm on the spot
    waiting for you

    Up and down the block
    people chasing the clock
    looking 'round for what's new

    Got a look in their eye
    there's something they need
    (That they need)

    They’re saying
    ‘I’m just not good enough
    to do the deed’
    (Don't Blow it, baby)

    *chorus:
    No, I can’t be nothin’
    Without Me in this life
    No, I won't get where I gotta be
    without my insight
    (Can’t be messing around
    no, can't be messin’ around)

    No, I can’t walk around
    pretending to be alright
    (pretending to be alright, yeah
    pretending to be alright, yeah)

    Gotta sit myself down
    just to stay in the light
    (stay in the light
    stay in the light
    stay in the light)

    No, I can’t be nothin’
    No, I won’t stop at nothin’
    No, I can’t be nothing
    Without me- yeah.

    Eight O’clock
    And I'm on the spot
    still waiting for you

    People walking bi
    Looking my way
    Sayin’ damn, man
    that dude’s a fool

    They’re saying
    damn- that dude over there
    just got stood up

    They’re sayin’ pity the fool
    somebody put a dime in his cup

    *chorus:
    No, I can't be nothin’
    Without Me in this life
    No, I won't get where I gotta be
    without my insight
    (Can't be messing around
    no, can't be messin’ around)

    No, I can't walk around
    pretending to be alright
    (pretending to be alright, yeah
    pretending to be alright, yeah)

    Gotta sit myself down
    just to stay in the light

    (stay in the light
    stay in the light
    stay in the light)

    No, I can't be nothin'
    No, I won't stop at nothin'
    No, I can't be nothing
    Without me - yeah

    Moving on, moving on
    Gotta keep on pushing on
    Moving on, moving on
    Gotta keep on pushing on

    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on
    Gotta keep on pushin’ on

  • verse 1:
    Is this what you’ve got for me?
    Is this all that you can be?
    Tell your lies all day long
    Sing your damned song
    Flyin’ your fake empty flag
    Askin’ why am I so mad
    Pit one against one against one against one
    Turn around and say tha’'s your gun

    *pre chorus:
    You hide behind we wanna be pure and good
    Like the founding fathers always said we should
    Run your game, day and night confident we won't stand up and fight

    *chorus:
    Look out now here we come
    (Fightin’ for our lives, Fightin’ for our lives)
    Look out now - here we come
    Look out now
    Look out now
    (Run, run)..

    verse 2:
    There’s a word for what you do
    And it ain’t red, white -
    Not even blue
    Run the facts, yeah - right in to the ground
    Do anything to escape brown
    Do you really think that people sit for this
    That the “ah - ha'’
    Moment’s hit - or - miss
    What we got for you,
    Can’t read it in a poll
    Step back jack
    Save your soul

    *pre chorus:
    Hide behind we just wanna be pure and good
    Like the founding fathers always said we should
    Run your game....run it hard -
    Play the race card

    *chorus:
    Look out now here we come
    (Fightin’ for our lives, fightin’ for our lives)
    Look out now here we come
    Look out now
    Look out now -
    (Run…run…run...
    run…run…RUN!

    *bridge:
    Got in the White House
    By takin’ up all the air
    Climbed over bodies
    as they lie on stair
    I know you're happy ‘cause
    There’s no - ‘O’ in the Oval...
    Keep it up, keep it up
    There’s a repair

    *chorus:
    Look out now here we come
    (Fightin’ for our lives, fightin’ for our lives)
    Look out now here we come
    Look out now…look out now…
