Trust Me
Words and music by Steven Page and Stephen Duffy
I was surprised at how incredibly fast you were
to come up and ask for a light.
I was amazed at just how matter-of-fact you were
in taking me back for the night.
I only crave the sugar on the pill.
I hope that you will
Chorus:
Trust me,
Trust me to let you down,
You know that somebody got there first.
Trust me,
Trust me to let you down,
My fingers crossed while my lips are pursed.
Trust me,
I don't know where I'm going, you can drop me there.
Don't understand how the roles are reversed
and now it's me that's freaked out by the chase.
The holy trinity are there in your purse;
a condom, Obsession, and mace.
it's easier if I'm on my way.
So anyway you'll
Chorus
I want you. You want me.
I want you not to want me.
I need you to need me.
To leave me
Needing you to leave
Chorus
Trust me,
Trust me to let you down.
Trust me to let you down.
Trust me to let you down.
Trust me to let you down.
Back
Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson
I woke up yesterday morning.
Fell down two flights of stairs.
Well I thought I was wide awake but my legs were still asleep.
9-1-1 ambulance help me!
But I can't reach the phone
So I screamed to my neighbors "Come over - break into my home!"
I broke my back
There was nobody left to help me.
Broke my back.
All the lies and deception won't change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass.
I wish this had happened skydiving,
that my parachute failed.
But a pair of shoes tripped me down stairs,
I lay there and wailed.
Those things I used to take for granted
Now I take sitting down.
I can't brush my teeth, chew my nails, give the finger to a clown!
I broke my back.
And I can't even change the channels.
Broke my back.
All the lies and deception won't change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass
Well they tell me that I shouldn't be discouraged,
but they tell me that I'll never walk again.
They say I'm gonna need a lot of courage,
and they say I'm gonna need a lot of friends.
But what I really need is a pair of electric legs
so I wish some genius would just invent them.
And if they cost too much I'd share with someone else,
or I'd scan the yellow pages and then I'd rent them.
I know that I could probably pop-a-wheely, entertaining the kids.
I can put hockey cards in the spokes, I can even blow skids.
I get a good seat at a concert, even get stuff for free.
is it 'cause I'm an excellent guy or 'cause they're scared of me?
I broke my back
And I can't even use the clapper.
Broke My Back.
All the lies and deception won't change the perception
All the lies and deception won't change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass.
Lovers in A Dangerous Time
Written by Bruce Cockburn
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by...
You never get to stop and open our eyes.
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall,
and next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all.
Chorus:
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste.
This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace.
Spirits open to the thrust of grace,
never a breath you can afford to waste.
Chorus
When you're lovers in a dangerous time,
sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime,
but nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight,
got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.
Chorus
McDonald's Girl
Written by Dean Friedman
I leave from softball practice every night
it's getting dark, but the "Golden Arches" light up the way
I turn the corner at the traffic light
I count my money and then I rehearse what I'm going to say
"I'd like an order of fries, a quarter-pounder with cheese,
I love the light in your eyes, will you go out with me please?"
Chorus:
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She has a smile of innocence so tender and warm
I am in love with a McDonalds girl
She is an angel in a polyester uniform
She doesn't try to impress anyone
She doesn't act real tough like all the other girls that I know
She don't treat me like a simpleton
She's not ashamed to be the only other virgin I know
When my hamburger's cold, I get up ready to go,
She's only fifteen years old, and I'm in love with her soul
She's got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time, then she'll show you the door - Boy!
Chorus
There she stands behind the register
She's taking orders from the Saddle River Little League
if they knew how much I wanted her
Their home-room teachers would have to send them home for a week
As I head through the door, the movement catches her eye,
My heart begins to soar, she smiles, she waves good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good bye
Chorus
Uno, dos, tres, quatro
Big Mac, Filet'o'Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries
icey Coke, Thick Shakes, Sundaes and Apple Pies
Sing that song of taste
You can only find at one place: McDonalds
Chorus
Fight The Power
Written by Carlton Ridenhour, Hank Shocklee, Eric Sadler and Keith Shecklee
Get tough now!
Come away for the S, the S one W's (brothers and sisters)
Come away for the S, the S one W's
On time 'cause he busta rhymes a hard rhymer.
On time 'cause he busta rhymes a hard rhymer.
it's the flavor, it's the flavor, it's the flavor, life saver!
it's the flavor, it's the flavor, it's the flavor, life saver!
Get back 'cause he whacks the tracks terminator.
Get back 'cause he whacks the tracks terminator.
1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters)
Listen what you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While the Black bands sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom of death
We got to fight the powers that be
Chorus:
Lemme hear you say fight the power.
Fight the power.
Lemme hear you say fight the power.
Fight the power.
Lemme hear you say fight the power.
Fight the power.
Fight the power.
We've got to fight the powers that be!
As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
it's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
Cause we don't know the game
What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved lets get down to business
Mental self defensive fitness
Bum rush the show
You gotta go for what you know
Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Chorus
Elvis was a hero to most
Buddy Elvis was a hero to most.
Buddy Hebson was a hero to most.
Buddy Rich was a hero to most.
Buddy Hacket was a hero to most.
Nutty Buddy was a hero to most.
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Take me duke him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
Get it lets get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see
in order to fight the powers that be
Chorus
