You say you want a revolution
Well you know
we all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
we'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
we all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
 

Born a poor young country boy--Mother Nature's son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone. 

Sit beside a mountain stream--see her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies. 

Find me in my field of grass--Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun. 

Mother Nature's son.

Imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy if you try,
no hell below us,
above us only sky.
Imagine all the  people,
living for today yu-huh.
Imagine there's no countries,
it isn't hard to do,
nothing to kill or die for,
and no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
living life in peace yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
 but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
no need for greed or hunger,
a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
sharing all the world yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer ...
 
 

(John Lennon)
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if your clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't fallow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped wit religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
 

Oh whoa oh Ow
There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet,
I said „A-hey, what is this?“
Now baby maybe, maybe she?s in need of a kiss.
I said A-hey, what?s your name, baby,
Maybe we can see things the same.
Now don?t you wait or hesitate,
Let?s move before they raise the parking rate.
Ow

CHORUS All right now baby, it?s all right now,
All right now baby, it?s all right now

Let me tell you now
Mm mmm
I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face,
She said „Look, what?s your game baby
Are you tryin?to put me in shame?“
I said „slow, don?t go so fast,
Don?t you think that love can last?“
She said „Love, Lord above, uh
Now you?re gonna trick me in love.“

CHORUS

Don?t you know, right

CHORUS: All right now
Baby it?s all right yeah
All right now
Baby it?s all right Yeah
Baby baby baby
It?s all right
All right now
Yeah it?s all right
It?s all right
 

(Jackson Spires)
I've been thinking about my childhood
And what your books they taught me
If things don't work out like they ought to
It wouldn't matter much to me
Yes, Look at the land
And see all the destruction
In a land that once was mine
Well, do you go forward?
I don't think so
We'll have it all back in due time
My heart belongs in an Indian world
A place that I can call my home
I've been livin' in a white man's world
Taught nothing of my own
We used to soar high as the eagles
Far as we could fly
Then you came along lookin' for your targets
Now the eagles they have died
You killed our fathers
Raped our mothers
Killed our sons and daughters too
We break your laws
We don't mean to
We can't help but what we are
My heart belongs in an Indian world
A place that I can call my home
I've been livin' in a white man's world
Taught nothing

I'm leaving to search for something new,
Leaving everything I ever knew.
A hundred years in the sunshine
Hasn't taught me all there is to know.
In the valley, we will gather there,
Helpless in our surrender.
Tomorrow the plow becomes the sword -
Make us stronger in our danger.
Time will pass away,
Time will guard our secret.
I'll return again
To fight another day.
I'd have to be a warrior -
A slave I couldn't be -
A soldier and a conqueror,
Fighting to be free.
 

Written by Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant
 

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

There's a grey horse standin' still
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
As the rain pours off his hat
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes

Now the cannons are silent
His friends are all gone
Gotta put it all behind him
If he ever wants to find his way home
He's the last rebel on the road

Just a boy with his old guitar
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong
But he carries on
Got a dream that will never die
Can't change him, no use in stayin' where you don't belong

Now he's rollin' down the highway
Gone too far too fast
No one will ever find him, he'll never look back

(chorus)
'Cause he's the last rebel
And he's all alone
He's the last rebel
His friends are all gone
He's the last rebel
The last rebel on the road

There'll never be another like him
He's the last of a dying breed
Ain't no use in tryin' to tame him
'Cause he's the last rebel

(repeat chorus)
 

--------------------------------------
Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy.
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found.
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got.
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot.
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,
Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
 
 

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out of ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running on
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
 
 

There?s a lady who?s sure all that glitter is gold.
And she?s buying a stairway to heaven.
And when she gets there she knows if the store are closed.
With a word she can get what she came for.

There?s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure.
Cause she know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook there?s a song bird who sings sometimes.
All of our thougts are misgiven.

There?s a feeling I get when I look to the west.
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thougts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
 

And it?s whispered that soon if we all call the tne.
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long.
And the forests will echo with laughter.

And it makes me wonder.

If there?s a bustle in your hedgerow don?t be alarmed now.
It?s just a spring clean for the May-Queen.
Yes there two paths you can go by.
But in the long run.
There?s still time to change the road you?re on.

Your head is humming and it won?t go - in case you don?t know.
The pipers calling you to join him.
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow.
And did you know
your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road.
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know.
Who shines white light and wants to show.
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all.
To be a rock and not to roll.
 

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
 

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime
Didn't you
People called say beware doll
You're bound to fall
You thought they were all
Kidding you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hanging it out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging
For your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest school
Allright miss lonely
But you know you only used to get
Juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you
How to live in the street
And now you're gonna have to get
Used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mistery tramp
But now you realize
He's not selling any alibis 
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to do
Make a deal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your homeWith no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people
Get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse
With your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything
He could steal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To hang on your home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone

Princess on the steeple
And all the pretty people
They're drinking thinking
That they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better
Take a diamond ring
You'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags
And the language that he used
Go to him now he calls you
You can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing
You got nothing to lose
You are invisible nowYou got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone
 

All right
Rock and roll, yeah

At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear

In a similar way
At the end of today
I can feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do

Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live

In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
I'm losing control

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock and roll
Look you

If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around

And tell everyone here
That it is perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screaming through the air

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock and roll

Banners held high with a curse and cry and it's
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
You feel it around, spread it around, make you what just should

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Live, live, live, live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
