And I found out a long time ago

what a woman can do to your soul

Ah, but she can't take you anyway

You don't already know how to go

and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing on the ground

Listen up all you skaghead, sewer rats, gangsters,

Villains and whores, the dark figures from the shadows,

Crept up from behind, where they brandished a gun,

Pointed directly at his face,

And they shuddered at the sight when the words were spoken,

"Go ahead, son, but you're making a big mistake,"

As the coolness of the night reflected off the cobblestone roads,

And silence took over, he said:

"Do you know who the f*** I am?"

Willie the Wimp was buried today,

They laid him to rest in a special way.

Sent him off in the finest style

That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild

Southside Chicago will think of him often

Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin,

Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone

All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

She's got a ticket and she's waiting at the station

She's got to get away as far as she can

Her problems will arise as sure as the sun shine

She's got to get used to living on the lam

Now Mary's out the door with a loaded 44 in her hand

Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

When I last saw her she was looking trouble

She said this is the 90's I'm gonna be alright

She took the greyhound into salinas

I got a letter that she dropped out of sight

Shrouded in anger encompassed by pain

He was your best friend and you will never ever ever see him again

See that drunk girl speeding down the street,

She's worried about the state of public schools.

She likes to party, she likes to rock,

She prays that our schools don't run out of chalk.

 

Luke, be a Jedi tonight!

Just be a Jedi tonight!

Do it for Yoda, while we serve our guests a soda.

Uh, and do it for Chewie and the Ewoks, and all the other puppets ...

Luke, be a Jedi tonight!

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact it's cold as hell

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

A rocket man, a rocket man

Bloody thursday was July 5th

The pigs killed 3 workers harry bridges grabbed the mic

The city shut down July 5th the workers outrage it was a general strike

The media clamed that the commies were taking over

And some believed it was true

3 uncompremising strikes was paved the way

Minn Sf and Toledo

Eddie worked for general motors and he swore

That he'd never lose his job again

A union man who owned his own home

In beautiful flint michigan

Eddie lost his job and eddie lost his wife

So eddie lost his self esteme

The last time i saw eddie

He was living in the trailer park again

I believe eddie for gave too much too soon

I got a letter from eddie and it was bad news

I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

I'm gonna take the money I make

and I'm gonna go away...

 

we barely have time to react in this world

let alone rehearse

and I don't think I'm better than you

but I don't think that I'm worse

women learn to be women

and men learn to be men

and I don't blame it all on you

but I don't want to be your friend

You got a lotta nerve

To say you are my friend

When I was down

You just stood there grinning

 

You got a lotta nerve

To say you gota helping hand to lend

You just want to be on

The side that's winning

'Cause I don't have the heart to try

One more false start in life

It's been so hard to get it right

Seems like the moment I catch up

The farther you fly

 

And I wasted your time, didn't I and

That that's the reason we fight all the time

It's been so long since you've been a friend of mine

 

And I wasted your time, didn't I

And that's the reason we fight all the time

It's been so long since you've been a friend to me

It seems like I dreamed and now I'm waking up to daylight

What happened, when did you let go of me

I miss you so badly

 

It's been so long since you've been a friend of mine

Americano got the sleepy eye

But his body’s still shaking like a live wire

Sleepy señorita with the eyes on fire

 

Oh, mexico

It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low

Moon’s so bright like to light up the night

Make everything all right
