Across the lines (Tracy Chapman)
Acroos the lines
Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides
Or run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On back streets of America
They kill the dream of America
Little black girl gets assaulted
Ain’t no reason why
Newspaper prints the story
And racist tempers fly
Next day it starts a riot
Knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed
One white boy goes blind
Little black girl gets assaulted
Don’t no one know her name
Lots of people hurt and angry
She’s the one to blame.
Tracy Chapman
Last night I heard the _______________
__________ voices behind the wall
Another ________________ night for me
It won’t do no good to call
The ______________
Always come late
If they come at all
And when they arrive
They say they ___________ interfere
With ____________ affairs
Between a _________ and his ___________
And as they walk out the door
The ___________ well up in her eyes
Last night I heard the ________________
Then a ____________ that _________ my soul
I ______________ that I was dreaming
When I saw the _______________ in the road
And the __________________ said
“I’m here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep”

Rio Summit’92
Street people kidnapped
Hid from view
“To Save The Earth”
Our rulers met
Some had other secret plans
No...No...No...No...
Biotech / Biotech / Biotech
Say what?
Srip-mine the Amazon
Of cells of life itself
Gold rush for genes is on
Natives get nothing
Biotech / Biotech / Biotech
Is Godzilla
Mutations cooked in labs
Money-mad experiments
New food + medicine?
New germs + accidents!
Like Cubatao
“World’s most polluted town”
Air melts your face
Deformed children all around
Bio-technology
Ain’t what so bad
Like all technology
It’s in the wrong hands
Cut-throat corporations
Don’t give a damn
When lots of people die
From what they’ve made
Biotech / Biotech / Biotech
Is A.I.D.S.?
Stop!!!

It's The End Of The World As We
Know It (And I Feel Fine)
From: Document
(from sheet music corrected by Michael Stipe)
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
in a fire, representing seven games, a government
for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives and I decline.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You
symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
fine...fine...

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
Eurythmics
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds so white
The brightness of day, the dark says good night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying: “How do you do?”
They’re really saying: “I love you”
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
