Lyrics

Searchin’ For The Heart Of Soul

There was light all around you the day you were born
But when you’re raised by robots, home is never very warm
So ya did it the hard way, confused and afraid
But strong in your instincts, you were strong in the friends you made

When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
You travel a road nobody knows

When you reach the river, all your friends will be there
and The Loved Ones will embrace you
and you’ll meet the girl with golden hair
And in a springtime meadow she’ll lay you down
She might say somethin’ like,
“Good job, Socko, all your fightin’s over now

When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
You travel a road nobody knows

And we went down to the river, and then we marched ourselves in
And we were cleansed and were bidden to go out sinnin’ again

When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
When you’re searchin’ for the heart of soul
You travel a road nobody knows

Hardball In The Holy Land

The people we’re fighting are all bottom feeders,
pawns of religion and lying leaders
We’ve said all our prayers, our sins are forgiven,
somebody gets killed now they’ll go straight to heaven
Hardball in the Holy Land, Armageddon Ball Park’s fillin’ up with fans
Hardball in the Holy Land
Hardball in the Holy Land, it’s a swing and a miss on a field of sand
Hardball in the Holy Land
Yep, we’re playin’ Hardball in the Holy Land

The weapons they’re using were invented by us
They’re very good weapons so think positive thoughts
Commanders in armor will lead from behind sayin’,
“Go ahead attack now, everything’ll be fine”

Hardball in the Holy Land, Armageddon Ball Park’s fillin’ up with fans
Hardball in the Holy Land
Hardball in the Holy Land,
Mr. Death is up to bat and the pitcher’s pitchin’ underhand
in the Holy Land, yes we’re playin’ Hard Ball in the Holy Land

Hardball in the Holy Land, Armageddon Ball Park’s fillin’ up with fans
Hardball in the Holy Land
Hardball in the Holy Land, we kill and get killed and we don’t quite understand
in the Holy Land, yeah we’re playin’ Hardball in the Holy Land
We’re Playin’ Hardball in the Holy Land

Feather

Her mother married Hank then Lloyd in smoke and alcohol
Her daddy’s got his trophy panties pinned up on a wall
And at these broken family digs I make myself real small
But Feather’s in her comfort zone; half-sisters, half-brothers
Stepfathers, stepmothers, full Ex’s, ex-inlaws and all…

She’s sweet and nice but made of ice beneath her winter coat
Her heart is like a castle surrounded by a mote
And only for the children will she let the drawbridge down
‘cuz every man reminds her of her daddy and must drown

Feather Fair Weather not forever
Well, it’s ‘I do’ for me and you, but for her ‘I do’ just means; ‘until I don’t’
Feather Fair Weather, not forever
She taught me how to be a king then took away my crown
So I invented clever things to say to put her down
I wasn’t always good to her, I didn’t do my best
but we could rock the universe at night, alone, undressed

Feather Fair Weather, very clever
She’s got a secret side and I was blind sided when she said good bye

It’s tragic when loves magic princess turns to witch
But let me pull this curtain back and flip the get real switch
Feather see this family here in sunlight clean and true
Love’s a word, it can be a verb; something you can DO

Feather Fair Weather not forever
Well, it’s ‘I do’ for me and you, but for her ‘I do’ just means; ‘until I don’t’
Feather Fair Weather, not forever

Feather Fair Weather, very clever
She’s got a secret side and I was blind sided when she said good bye

I said Feather Fair Weather, not forever

All The People In This World

My little daughter came up to ask me, “What’s kidnapping,
I wanna know?”
I had to tell her all about anger and evil people, it hurt me so
And I will never forget the look on her face,
the gesture and the way she stood
When she said, “Huh… I thought all the people in this world were good!”

God and the devil, good and evil, light and darkness, I understand
But how could anyone hurt a little one?
It could make me get a gun and kill a man
And I will never forget the look on her face,
the gesture and the way she stood
When she said, “Huh… I thought all the people in this world were good!”

You know it seems to me that most of history
was shaped and written by crazy men
Men who are greedy and seem to need to be some kind of god,
not just a man
And as the teeter-totter tips between the flower and the shrouded hood
I’m thinkin’, “Huh… most of the people in this world are good”

New Earth Suit

Old soul
hello
how ya' doin' in your new earth suit?

It's got hands to hold
and feet to go
lookin' for adventure in a new earth suit

Same dance
new chance

And if the bad guys come
you know you got the gun
of your big space daddy in his old earth suit

You'll be lookin' for adventure in your new earth suit

Little boy
you're a giant joy
and lookin' pretty in your new earth suit

We're hoping that you're happy in your new earth suit
