Music - text of songs

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It’s the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn’t have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

Chorus:
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We’d blister in the sun
We couldn’t wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I’ll hear that song and I’ll start to sing along
And think man I’d love to see that girl again

(Repeat Chorus x2)

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long.

It’s another night in hell
Another child won’t live to tell
Can you imagine what it’s like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well
Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C’mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas
I’ll tell you sometimes people I don’t know what’s worse
Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors
Now damn it I’m scared to send my children to church
And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations
Got me feeling guilty of being white
But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I’m no saint
But I believe in what is right

C’mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,
Pull your future away from the flame
Open up your mind and start to live
Stop short changing your neighbors
Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe
Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify
And if I get high stop being so uptight
It’s only human nature and I am not a stranger
So baby won’t you stay with me tonight

INSERT JAPANESE TRANSLATION

It’s a matter of salvation from them patience up above,
So don’t give up so damn easy on the one you love, one you love
Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there’s someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on ’cause you know it’s true
And if you can take the pain
And you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, I said amen
I said amen, I said amen,

Amen.

Put me in a special school,
‘Cause I am such a fool,
And I don’t need a single book to teach me how to read.
Who needs stupid books?
The alphabetey crooks,
And I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams
So turn off the T.V.
‘Cause that’s what others see
And movies are as bad as eating chocolate ice cream
They only sicken me
Don’t let me play for bar
I’ll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball

I’m a troublemaker
Never been a faker
Doin’ things my own way
And never givin’ up.
I’m a troublemaker
Not a doubletaker
I don’t have the patience to keep it on the up.

I picked up a guitar,
What does this signify?
I’m gonna play some heavy metal,
Wishing you would die.
You wanted arts and crafts?
How’s this for arts and crafts?
(guitar solo)
(That’s Right!)
I’m growin’ out my hair
I’m movin’ up to Cherokee
I’m gonna be a rockstar
And you are gonna bear with me
‘Cause I can’t book a job,
Like any other slob,
Punchin’ in and punchin’ out (?)
Marryin’ a bi-atch,
Havin’ Seven ki-ads,
Givin’ up and growin’ old,
And hopin’ there’s a god.

I’m a troublemaker
Never been a faker
Doin’ things my own way
And never givin’ up
I’m a troublemaker
Not a doubletaker
I don’t have the patience to keep it on the up

I’m gonna be star
And people will crane necks
To get a glimpse of me
And see if I am havin’ sex
And studyin’ my moves
They try to understand
Why I am so unlike
The singers in the other bands
I’m such a mystery
As anyone can see
There isn’t anybody else
Exactly quite like me
And when it’s party time
Like 1999
I’ll party by myself because I’m such a special guy

I’m a troublemaker
Never been a faker
Doin’ things my own way
And never givin’ up.
I’m a troublemaker
Not a doubletaker
I don’t have the patience to keep it on the up.

Keep it on the up
(I’m a trouble maker)
Keep it on the up (UP!)
(I’m a trouble maker)
Keep it on the up
(I’m a trouble maker)
Keep it on the up (UP!)
(I’m a trouble maker)
Never givin’ up.

I didn’t hope for much
I was used to how things were
Even though I was not sure
You say
I was throwing it away
And I never learned to heal

I can’t believe what I see
After all this time it is meant to be

Help me believe
Believe
Believe
That I can love
I can love (x7)

I guess it goes to show
That you never should give up
Even when you’re out of luck
You might
Find an angel in your sight
Who turns everything around

I can’t believe what I see
After all this time it is meant to be

Help me believe
Believe
Believe
That I can love
I can love (x7)

Help me believe what I see
After all this time it is meant to be

Help me believe
Believe
Believe
That I can love
I can love.

Let’s not be mean to each other
There’s no need for name callin’
There’s no need for chain ballin’
Let’s be nice, babe, it won’t kill us

Let’s just be kind to each other
There’s no need to go further
There’s no need to chain an order
Let’s be nice, babe, it won’t kill us

I caught you and
Called you on it
You lied to me
You lied all about it

Give it time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It’s easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

Let’s work it through and defuse it
There’s not need for the cussin’
There’s no use for ball bustin’
Let’s be nice, babe, it won’t kill us
Oh

I caught you and
Called you on it
You lied to me
You lied all about it

Give it time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It’s easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

I caught you and
Called you on it
You lied to me
You lied all about it

Give it time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It’s easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

Time, give it up
Draw the line, raise the cup
It’s easy (Easy)
Not to be mean

It’s so easy (Easy)
So easy (Easy)
So easy (Easy) Yeah
So easy (Easy).

One night at the disco I wanted to dance slow
I saw a sweet baby, such a fine lady
I walked up to ask her, but some dude just grabbed her
I told him to back off, cut me some slack off
I see you come here, drinkin’ that cheap beer
Act like you own it, I can’t condone it
You show me now respect, you got to get off it
You got to get with it. Time for a swift kick
You see, I own this town. You best not come around.
If you wanna get by, then cool it down.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I’m king.
If you wanna mess around like that, that’s just how it is.
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I’m king.

You wanted attention and did I mention:
Nobody likes you, except for the losers
You made a whole army, an army of babies
Some of them stupid, some of them crazy
Pick up your action, act like a grown man
Look at the winners, you can be like them
Life is so easy, pleasant, and dreamy
If you get off me, if you get with me
You see I own this town. You best not come around.
If you wanna get by, then cool it down.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I’m king.
If you wanna mess around like that, that’s just how it is.
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz.
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I’m king.

You can’t break me
Never take me
That’s just how it is
You can’t break me
Never shake me
Clear out of my biz.

There’s a spider on the drain and he’s feeling pain
And he doesn’t want to die any more than you or I
He’s struggling to live but he doesn’t have much time
Any more than you or I, you or I

We’ve got to die, we’ve got to live
We got to take what we can get
We sell ourselves for petty change
And when we die we rearrange
It’s time to take it back again
It’s time to take it back again
I want you to love me like I love you

There’s nothing more for me to say
I spoke my piece I’ll go on my way
And fare thee well where’er you go
You might need help but I won’t know
Cuz I’m up in here in my own cell
It could be heaven it could be hell
We’ll never know just who we are
Cuz when we die we become a star
And stars can’t talk because they have
No mouth to speak about their past
They simply shine up in the sky
And give their light to you and I
And where would we be without their light
We’d call out names and then start a fight
But then again that’s what we do
I hate me and I hate you too
Cuz I’m in pain just like the spider
In the drain, I am a fighter
But I can’t win I’ve got to lose
Give me strength to see me through
And ease the pain that I must feel
As my bones break and I taste the steel
As I go down …the drain…
I’m insane.

When I was a baby I was so happy.
I play with my friends in the mud.
Wilbur and Jack and Otis and Beatty,
We were a gang, you got to believe me.
Momma would scold us if we got too rough
She didn’t care, she was proud of us.
I ran around and talked to the animals,
Tellin’ ‘em stories of savage cannibals.

Then I got older and noticed a girl.
At first I was sure I didn’t exist to her.
I sulker around but I didn’t know why.
Then she put her cheek on my shoulder and I
Was lookin’ at her and she was lookin’ at me.
We started to smile it was our destiny.
Tina was her name. She was my cutie-pie.
I forgot about things that I used to like.

I spent all my time followin’ her around,
My friends all made the whip-lash sound.
But they understood. They was happy for me.
And everyone clapped when I asked her to marry me.
And she said “yes” and we felt so fine.
We lost track of the passin’ time.
Before I knew it we had our own babies:
Gina and Shannon and Keebie and Gabe

But now I’ve got to die.
I’ve lived a good life I’ve got no complaints
I’d like to thank Farmer Pete.
For bringing me scraps of food that I could eat.
He always had a smile on his face.
He didn’t want to think of this day.
It’s finally here.
It’s finally here, oh.

Oo-oo, they called me Pig.
Oo-oo, they called me Pig.

When I was a baby I was so happy.
I played with my friends in the mud.
