Well I can't stop working 'Cause I like to work When nothing else is going on It's bad for the body But it's good for the soul Might even keep you breathing When you lose control Can't stop working Can't stop working Where have I been For all these years I thought I knew you better Come on down to the edge of the sea today And write a letter there in the sand Forgiveness Forgiveness

Distorted harmonica solo

I can't stop working Well I can't stop working 'Cause I like to work When nothing else is going on It's bad for the body But it's good for the soul Might even keep me breathing When I lose control Can't stop working Can't stop working I might take some time off I can't stop working Might take time off for forgiveness Forgiveness

And now it's been about 500 years We keep takin' what we gave away Just like what we call Indian Givers It makes you sick and gives you shivers I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news And Money goin' backwards and ripping the soil Where graves are scattered and blood was boiled When all who look can see the truth But they just move on and keep their groove I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news Saw Happy locked to the big machine They had to cut him loose and you know what that means Yea, that's when Happy went to jail Behind big money justice always fails I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news Bring back the days when good was good Lose these imposters in our neighborhood Across our farms and through our waters All at the cost of our sons and daughters Yeah, our brave sons and beautiful daughters We're all here together fighting poisoned water Stand in against the evil way That's what we have at the end of day I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news

Look can you see things when they show you what they want you to know Watch what you don't see on the TV when they hide the truth Feel how it hurts you when the truth hides in between the seams Cry from the broken-hearted melody that you hear in your dreams Whoa it's a runaway can you catch it it's not in your hands Slow easy does it when you find out what deception means Try to change it 'cause it hurts you and it holds back your dreams Dreams of a new world evolution of the species to survive the truth that screams Call in the darkness for the moment of clear-thinking joy Laugh when you find out that the story that was spoken has broken like a toy Lost in the sandbox just left there for no one to enjoy Found by the police who killed it and were filmed on the phone Texas Rangers had to ride in to the rescue of all that's well and good Texas Rangers in pickups painted silver with bulldogs on the hood Texas Rangers come to save you come to rescue the bad and the good Texas Rangers on the freeways and in your neighborhoods Texas Rangers Texas Rangers Texas Rangers a-ha!

John Oaks Old John rides in his pickup with rakes and his friends in the back Workers he takes with him, then he drives them all back To protect them from the politicians using them to get ahead Preying on the people, trying to get inside their heads John Oaks is really stand-up, he won't take shit lyin' down He calls it like he sees it, then he puts his money down John Oaks One day at the demonstration John Oaks was standin' up He arrived there at the location in his old pickup truck Took a rake in his hand with his workers by his side Stood there waitin' for his turn to speak and turn the tide When he found himself surrounded by police everywhere They tried to take his workers to jail when he grabbed one by his hair John Oaks Shots rang out and people yelled as the police took control Shot a black man right where he fell with a sniper on the knoll John Oaks saw law and order was leadin' him astray Tried to get back in his pickup with his workers to get away That's when the police moved in and stood there in his way John started up his pickup and that was his last day John Oaks

F

G

x4

They said he had a pistol when the old pickup backfired He shot John there behind the wheel and then John Oaks expired The workers grabbed the rakes and that's all that I can say They went to the cemetery and they stay there to this day John Oaks

Standing here before you judge

C

G

I make my pledge of truth to you The waves keep moving the bowsprit Decks awash with runnin' green and foam Back there at the wheel I was terrified Next day we first saw home My relatives came over on the Mayflower Landed on the shore almost alone That damn traffic today is terrible And everywhere I look I see people alone Alone with their heads lookin' in their hands Lost in the conversations stare Walkin' with their eyes lookin' at the screen Talking like they were really there I'm lost in this new generation Left me behind it seems Listening to the shadow of Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze sounding like TV I stepped on someone's hand, lying on the street Both asleep and dead it may seem He didn't even move there on the sidewalk I stood there staring in a dream She came along in her uniform Stood movin' me away with a gentle hand Dressed in white like a nightingale Her name was Florence, Florence of the land (I knew I'd seen her somewhere) I knew I'd seen her somewhere But she was busy with him gone She came with three different brothers Abraham, Martin and John I heard a song about that once And I never knew what it meant Three stars dying in a flame one night Rock 'n' roll, the message was sent I couldn't wrap my head around it Didn't know what it meant Standing there on that sandy beach Watching it turn to cement Now I don't see all the colors And I might miss some of their beauty But I do see what I see And I want to do my duty Enlisted in the navy at the corner store They had a recruiting booth I covered my heart up and raised my hand And swore it was the truth That's my pledge That's my pledge That's my pledge, judge That's my pledge
