The Last Great American (New Last Verse (9/15/2001)) lyrics - Five For Fighting
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember
And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs
Of a beautiful and purple mountain
From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American
May I now present you the speaker
Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold
He had a how do you say ethical like sense
That's when the President started to giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
Though the service weren't half done
Each of them sued the other one
For the last great American
Mr. Reaches up and we bow our heads
He pulls the lid on down as his stone is read
Here lies our Merry the man with the heart so spent
That in this day and age is sick of living
Then the funeral pyre was shattered
And the world became undone
The mourners raised their heads up
As the crowd began to run
Then everybody stopped...
...to the beating of a drum.
For through the smoke and morning sun
Stands the Last Great American
Easy Tonight lyrics - Five For Fighting
You were wrong
You were right
You are gone
Tonight
You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right
You were down
You could see
You wore hearts
for me
You were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right
Shot down: said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet:
But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It's not easy tonight
You were bound
You were free
You wear black
for me
You were dark
Dark as night
You were wrong
You were right
Shot down: said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
But woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet:But I sure am getting there
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It's not easy tonight
She's In. Over my head:and it's not easy it's not easy tonight
Shotgun fire: anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright: It's not easy tonight
You were free:Now your not:You were free
Bloody Mary (A Note On Apathy) lyrics - Five For Fighting
Over by the still she says,
"Man I think you better wait for tomorrow!
Take this pillow for your head
And I'll take you."
Back against the beast I went
To feel her coming, hot for a follow up
Here comes the sun again:(to see me through)
On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you
Happily I leave her fed
Tonight I swear, I swear on tomorrow:(wait)
Here comes the sun again
To see me through:
On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you
Bloody Mary's for all:
Bloody Mary's for all:
On and on she takes me from you, my love
On and on she rakes me from you
All of my dreams for you:to follow
All of my dreams for you:to swallow
All of my dreams for you:
Superman (It's Not Easy) lyrics - Five For Fighting
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me [2x]
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
And it's not easy.
It's not easy to be me.
America Town lyrics - Five For Fighting
I know I should be happy in your land
It's not all that wild to me
Not that I want to be any other where
I know its hell out there
Here in the borders of America Town
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Lets just drag them all down
There's got to be a hero somewhere
Used to get annoyed at the fire and the flag
Now it just seems old to me
(Everyone is old to me)
And I know we'd kick your ass
But first I'll take a nap tonight
And know someone's looking out for me
Here in the borders of America Town
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Lets just drag them all down
There's got to be a hero somewhere
I tried it
I've seen it
I bought it all
Not that I'm upset
I can still make my bet on the basketball game
And I got my spare change
I'm even O.K. with the hoodlums on the hill
They're in my will
Like her and you
Whom and who
In America Town
We all spin around
In America Town
I'm really not down:
We all spin around
In America Town
America Town
America Town
Something About You lyrics - Five For Fighting
I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there to see you
I don't know where to dig in.
I don't know how to get in there:to feel you
It's been to long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been to long and I'm in time
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
I never thought I would win
I never thought much about that.
(It's been a long time coming)
I never stopped to begin
Thinking about the process.
(It's been a long time coming)
It's been to long and I'm about to be in time for me
It's been to long and I'm in time
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
I don't know where to begin
I don't know how to get out there to see you
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
Baby there's something about you that
I can hold on to
I'm going to hold on to that
It's been a long time coming
I'm going to hold on to that
And I'm going to be there:be there:alright
Jainy lyrics - Five For Fighting
Jainy sells for three dimes a night
Morning helps her find her way blind
And I love her more than I can tell
Heaven help me now
Seems I found to find her just as well:
Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea
Jainy takes me three times a night
Morning Saves me and I find my way blind
And she loves me more than she can tell
Heaven help her now
Seems she's found to find me just as well
Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea:
Jainy stares at stars every night
Morning takes her eyes every time
And she'll love you more than you can tell
Heaven help us now
Seems you've finally found us: just as well:
Jainy Yea:
Jainy Yea:
She'll be all right
She'll be all right
Michael Jordan lyrics - Five For Fighting

Out Of Love lyrics - Five For Fighting
I'm Out of love again
And I need anyone
I'm out of love again
And I need everyone
I'm out. I'm in again
And I need some love
I'm out of touch again
And I need you babe
I'm out of love again
But I got your stuff
I'm out of love again
But I got your love
I'm out of wack again
And I need soft heat
I'm down to far too bend
And I need something sweet
I'm out of love again
But I got your stuff
I'm out of love again
But I got your love
I'm out of love again
But I got your stuff
People in my life:you're the one
Of people in my life you're the one
I'm out of love again
But I got your love
I'm out of love again
But I got your stuff
I'm out of love again
But I got your love
I'm out of love again
Not while you're by my side
The Last Great American lyrics - Five For Fighting
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember
And through the town some pallbearers sing old songs of a beautiful
and purple mountian
From every walk of life we've come to see the last great American
So may I now present you the speaker
....friends he was a man of men, yeah a man of gold
....he had a (how to you say) ethical like sense
That's when the President started to giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
though the service weren't half done
each of them sued the other one...for the last great American
Wait...Time for my coffin
Wait...Time for my break
Wait...Time for my coffin
Merry reaches up and we bow our heads
Pulls the lid on down and his stone is read
Here lies our Merry
The man with the heart so spent
That in this day in age
is sick of living
Still judges argue letters
And fabric comes undone
For every daughter...every son..of the last great American
Love Song lyrics - Five For Fighting
Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes.
Put away your bullshit.
Big Boys they don't cry to their mammas.
She'll be back soon.
Put away your rain coat and make your bed.
Take another bullet right to your head now.
We're going on a picnic
and we'll get there soon.
And she says maybe it's over.
And he says, there's plenty more fish in the sea
But I say, don't go away...from me.
So put away your dinner and have a snack.
Tie your little brother up in a sack.
We're moving to the country
And we'll get there soon.
Pack up all the things that you don't deserve.
Take another swing, well here comes a curve ball.
I betcha can't hit it
Cause you'll swing too soon.
And she says maybe it's over.
And he says, there's plenty more fish in the sea.
But I say, Don't go away...
Don't go away...
Please don't go away...from me
But can you take it to heart...
I'll never leave...
So take those damn pictures off of that shelf.
Put away your mommy. You don't need her.
I found you a new one.
And she'll be here soon.
And she says, My God it's over.
And he says, I found another fish in the sea
But I say, why me...why me
why...is it me?
Boat Parade lyrics - Five For Fighting
There's a crack in the hull
Where the penitents used to live
There's a crack in the hull
Where the Penitents used to live
And we can make it right if we row all night
Give all that we can give
There's a crack in the hull
Where the penitents used to live
There's a leak in the hold
Where the infantry used to sleep
There's a leak in the hold
Where the Infantry used to sleep
And we can make it right if we roll all night
Baby dust off your knees
There's a leak in the hold
Where the infantry used to be
Little monsters (on the table)
Crazies here to play
Little monsters in the boat parade
There's a hole in the hat
Where the captain kept his dreams
There's a hole in the hat
Where the Captain kept his dreams
And we can make it right
If we sail all night
Better pray for a breeze
There's a hole in the hat
Where the captain used to be
Alright lyrics - Five For Fighting
I Took her leaving like I did before
I Turned around and I asked for more
And she didn't even mean a thing to me
I Left my spirit at the chapel door
I Sailed around til I lost the war
And you didn't even think to send a thing
But I'm alright, alright, I feel alright
I never been better in my life
You know the score
I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine
A regular sawed off valentine
That nothing more
I Hit my head upon the chamber door
And all the marbles rolled on the floor
And all the pyschos in the ward start screaming:
I'm alright, alright, I feel alright
I never been better in my life
You know the score
I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine
A regular sawed off valentine
That nothing more
My Baby
I'm alright, alright, I feel alright
I never been better in my life
You know the score
I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine
A regular sawed off valentine
That nothing more
Do You Mind lyrics - Five For Fighting
DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU A QUESTION
DO YOU MIND IF I SWEAR NOT TO HURT YOU
DO YOU MIND IF I DON'T PISS ON YOUR BED
DO YOU MIND IF I BRING HER STILL WITH ME
DO YOU MIND IF I FORGET AND THANK YOU
DO YOU MIND IF I JUGGLE THE MEANING
DO YOU CARE THAT I ONLY WEAR SILVER
DO YOU CARE THAT SET ONLY STONE
ARE YOU ANGRY THE YOU I'M ADOPTING
IS ONLY A PRETENSE AT HOME
DO YOU MIND IF I MAKE YOU WEAR EARRINGS
LIKE SHE DID, LIKE YOU DID BEFORE
DO YOU MIND FOR I THINK I STILL LOVE YOU
DO YOU MIND
ALWAYS HAVE
EVERMORE
