PAINTING TASTERS

so you think you love me, baby
maybe I can change your mind
what can I say
you’ll love me anyway
but your love won’t fix this bind

no, you didn’t hurt me
but you pretended that you were blind
and if you couldn’t see
the wrong you did to me
I can’t forgive you this time

no more disappointment
no more teary-eyed goodbyes
if i want to leave
I think you’ll agree
to let this moment pass by

I don’t want to hurt you
I’m a good boy but I blew your mind
you pushed me away
and all that you could say
was I need more friends in my life

if you really love me
you’ll know when it’s time to say goodbye
remember I care
throw kisses everywhere
and enjoy the rest of your life

your sweet life

you only think you love me
you only think you love me
you only think you love me

we met in the heat of the summer
I was lonely
you were newly free
I discovered a beautiful person
I couldn’t believe was like me

at first, we had so many questions
like where have you been all my life
we learned more and more
let love open the door
and we wrote what we wanted to write

I should have known when you described the mystery
that I was and that was being me
the feel of my lips and touch of my kiss
were just words
you projected on me

and soon the illusion faded
the person inside you could see
I tried and I tried
I could no longer hide
I knew one day you would leave me

still, I pushed and I pushed and I struggled
to be what you wanted to see
I swallowed my pride
went along for the ride
now the ride is slowly killing me

there’s a hill for every dark valley
and a river that runs to the sea
now it’s time to cry
and for love to die
you changed without telling me
you changed without telling me

I love
corporations
corporations own my soul
I believe
in corporations
across the nation, profits grow

they’re in control
they’re in control
they’re in control, control, control

we’ll make money
selling paper
to the federal reserve

printing pictures
on the paper
to show the purpose that they serve

I love Jesus and I respect Jesus but I won’t play Jesus again
I still love you
heaven hangs above you
no one knows better than him

who wants to play Jesus
who wants to know what life’s about
who wants the kingdom and
pieces of Jesus in your mouth
voice from the mountain
telling us all how we should live
who wants to save you
who knows we have so much more to give

Abrahama, he can walk on air
some days he can fly
campaigning, he goes everywhere
in the sea and the sky

from the heartland to big city streets
oh the people, they cry
Abrahama save us from despair
we need change or we’ll die

approaching from lowell street
I’m easily confused
the bright lights and the traffic
are calling me to you

reaching old yellow island
should i stop or should i go
the light tells me it’s ok
but I never really know

hey there sad reporter, nobody gives a damn
about the truth or freedom or the rights of man
people have busy lives and get news when they can
they don’t have the time to understand

money is everything
this is the song you sing
your words are beautiful but they don’t mean anything

let me tell you about where I’m from
you wouldn’t believe the things I’ve overcome
walk to the rhythm of a different drum
now I stand in front of you

my life is bigger than any song
you might ask me to sing or hum along
whatever I do, I make it my own
my life is bigger than any song
