YOUTH
Read me the lines,
from pages of old,
lost stories untold,
of past generations,
lives being sold.
They left me with little,
and thats just fine,
they'll have to take a lot more to change my mind.
And it takes a lot of heart, to know.
so now comes the time,
to fall into line,
become who we were cut out to be.
we live the life we are called for
we've got nothing to gain,
and worse. nothing to lose.
Lovers lost,
at high cost,
of what the the soothsayer sees.
again, nevermind...too costly to continue.
MEXICAN MISTRESS
Showered off the last bit of Mexico
Picked up dirty habits,
mama you'd be sad to know,
mama you'd be sad to know,
smoking, drinking, lovin, life i've come to know,

Shoot six men, watch em' die

Homeward bound, Jalisco bound,

life, liberty, equality,
things round here run a bit differently,

Kids playing soccer out in the streets
