Mon ami! My brother said to me As he bled out on the Somme Au Paris, we swore one day we’d meet After bleak midwinter’s bombs C’est la vie, c’est la mort They sent our kids to war But only hungry poor Lost a friend, lost a brother Lost a hundred more and then They start another war Had some peace, and the world, she sighed relief And my, how the 20’s roared It all came down, and in ‘39 we found A madman’s rabid hoard Don’t get me wrong, he and his filthy throng Deserved all the wrath they bore Sad thing is, one of many friends of his Was robber baron Henry Ford C’est la vie, c’est la mort They send our kids to war But only hungry poor Lose a friend, lose a brother Lose a hundred more and then They start another war Didn’t take too much longer after that We breached another shore Had family there, and he said with iron stares They breed them hard, our marine corps Told me tales of sticks and stones and prayers With a charge the farmers roared Korean lands stayed in Korean hands Brought spears to a shooting war C’est la vie, c’est la mort They send our kids to war But only hungry poor Lose a friend, lose a brother Lose a hundred more and then They start another war In Vietnam, with bravado and aplomb We burned a teenage Viet Cong We ain’t learned, as sure as our world turns They’ll take poor kids from their mom’s They’ll be damned if they’ll die in Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan Same ol’ story, they steal our blood and glory Time to stick it to the fucking man C’est la vie, c’est la mort They send our kids to war But only hungry poor Lose a friend, lost a brother Lose hundred more and then They start another war

Nothing left to give... Nothing left to give, anymore V1 Out of touch, going out of my mind Out of luck, how could I be so blind I’ve been pushing and believing Fetching and retrieving now I’m done Nothing left to give... Nothing left to give, anymore V2 Tired of being that last line of hope Tired of hanging on this little piece of rope Smiling and defending Swimming - never ending, now I’m done Nothing left to give... Nothing left to give, anymore Bridge Nothing more to give, no one left to take Soul is running empty, no more promises to break Hard but I’m still trying, alone but I’m not dying Is there hope for me yet?

I remember jokes told One of us isn’t frightened anymore It’s just my time it’s just my time Light behind your walls Always fades with time and space oh well Hold onto me hold onto me So I’ll write this song Please don’t read into it much at all It’s just my words it’s just my words it’s just my world Random thoughts and shakes They scare me Even now I am old I am cold I am alone I am alone Bite and scratch my way Through this hell But I’ll try to get by I have my ways I have my ways I remember jokes told One of us isn’t frightened anymore It’s just my time it’s just my time

v1: Ain't no use in holding on It's carried out to sea Nothing here but memories now That ought to be enough for you & me pre: As the sun retreats We should start to take our leave ch: Say what you will Say a prayer if that's your thing You should never hold back your words v2: Got no time to share regrets Just throw them to the wind Give no thought to your mistakes They'll return time & time again pre: As the sun retreats We should start to take our leave ch: Say what you will Say a prayer if that's your thing You should never hold back your words ----- Don't wait until Until you've got a song to sing 'Cause right or wrong, you need to be heard -- weird instrumental thingy -- -- guitar solo -- pre: As the sun retreats We should start to take our leave ch: Say what you will Say a prayer if that's your thing You should never hold back your words ----- Don't wait until Until you've got a song to sing 'Cause right or wrong, right or wrong, you need to be heard

Prism Hey when you look at me Through a prism light Hey when you look at me Through a mirror bright Illumination is the way Illumination here to stay Hey when stars they sparkle Like a satellite And the comet hurdles from the sky Illumination is the way Illumination here to stay Hey when you look at me Through a prism light Hey when you look at me Through a mirror bright Illumination is the way Illumination here to stay
