BEING HUMAN
Song Lyrics by Slyd Blvd
Well, I try, - try - try - try – try .
To do right, - right - right - right
In my mind - mind -mind - mind - mind.
I am kind - kind - kind - kind
And I face off with the darkness and I chomp down on my pain
I won't let my inhuman - rise again
Sat on that river in Memphis watching bridges from both sides
To understand that black and white divide, that still divides
And it's a long old cold pride.
My home, - home - home - home – home.
Turned to stone, – stone - stone – stone
I Know, - know - know - know – know.
What they show, - show - show – show
You say you believe in justice, whose justice anyway
When the bombs hit what else can you say, can you say
Don't submit to the inhuman. Don't go down in that dirt
Don't concede to the anger, and the hurt, Don't get hurt
It's a long lone hard fight
So People better get ready for the change that did not come
To make your mark you can't just pose and hum. Can't just hum
When you, face off with your darkness and you chomp down on your pain
Don't let your inhuman rise again, not again
From the sunshine to the rain, From the brown to green again
Feel the rain, feel the rain, feel that rain, feel that rain
And it's a long lone hard grind
It's the cold old divide, still divides
Muster up some courage and some pride

LIKE THAT
Song Lyrics by Slyd Blvd
Like the powder in the shot, Like the rod iron when it's hot
Like the finger on the spot, Like the cooking in the pot
I wanna love like that, I'm gonna love like that
Like a leap over the moon, Like honey on the spoon
Like a sunny day in June, Like whistling a happy tune
I wanna love like that, I'm gonna love like that
Never ending endings, put me in the shade
You taught me dancing, then you moved away
I went down hard, and for this I have paid
Now I've started over, I'm gonna seize the day
Like the picture on the wall, Like the colors of the fall
Like making the call, Like winning it all
I wanna love like that, I'm gonna love like that
Like ripping it all apart, Like making it an art
Like the warm inside a heart, Like a lover at the start
I wann love like that, I'm gonna love like that
I check in on it often, and I treat it real kind
I've got a cool picture of it, and it's saved in my mind
My past wasn't perfect, so I've left it behind
Now I will believe in me, and I will own my find
Like the pleasure in the pain, like kissing in the rain
Like running off to spain, like making it jump again
I wanna love like that, I'm gonna love like that
I wanna love like that, I'm gonna love like that

SO TELL ME HOW GOES THE WAR
Song Lyrics by Slyd Blvd
So tell me, how goes the war?
Haven't been around much - I'm not ducking the fire no more.
Think about you a lot - wonder if your still alive.
Or if you've go your head on right, I know you don't believe in the war.
It's peaceful here in Canada - Lot's of time for feeling fine, we got a natural high.
I know I deserted - couldn't take the strain no more.
When Jumbo got it in the throat - I really felt I had to fly.
​
So tell me, how goes the war?
Does anybody know - just what the fighting is for?
So tell me, how goes the war?
Does anybody know - just what we are killing for?
​
So tell me, how goes the war?
Can you keep hanging on - in something there's no reason for?
I know I didn't do you right - But I knew you'd understand.
Only hope you'll make it too - and get out of that dreadful land.
​
It really dragged me out - when I killed that boy.
Just thirteen - and I tore his head a part.
Now I live a humble life - when you've killed someone
There's not much to be proud about.
​
So tell me, how goes the war?
Does anybody know - just what the fighting is for?
Yes tell me, how goes the war?
Does anybody know - what is the killing for?
So tell me, . . . . . (fade out)

SO LOW
Song Lyrics by Slyd Blvd
Thinking about all the places you've been, searchin' for Gold Takin' it on the chin.
Looking' for that answer that don't be within.
Pickin' ourselves off the floor
Oh, how did we get so low, how did we get so low
How we dropped here I don't know, how did we get this low
Selling your rings by your house at the shore. Watching tomorrows pass by your door
Knew all this time that you needed much more.
You begged but I didn't sustain
I'd be the fool if I let you go now, writing your letters, and throwing them down
Seems like the worst time to be in this town, but thats how it goes
When you let it go around and around
Oh, how did we get so low, how did we get so low
How we dropped here I don't know, how did we get this low
With our kind of lives there's no more to give, so we just live,
and tear down the castles from the sky.
You and I were never meant to cry, we sing along, and listen to the eagle's song
If we had a time to choose again, we'd claim again, the same cold chances
Oh, how did we get so low, how did we get so low
How we dropped hear I don't know, how did we get this low
How we got here I don't know, how did we get so low
How did we get so low.
