I lost my innocence over intolerance
All the indignities heaped on the black man
We went to church they all prayed for the white man
The cops and the preachers
Were most of 'em in the Klan
What's a kid s'posed to think when the adults
Are all such hypocrites impossibly smug
I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Had enough
Quite enough, I swear
The next generation, the woodstock nation
A little bit flaky, but no hesitation
Stop the war, it wasn't worth dyin' for
The paranoia of the cold warriors
Arrogant old men with domino theories
Fractured fairy tales tryin' to kill me
I have seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I have read enough
History to see right through this
You got outcast upset
People you never met
Locked in the basement
Hot-wired to the net
Isolated, infuriated
The punchline to the joke
Is how they are gonna smoke
Every last stuck-up snob ever dissed them
Look in their eyes how could you miss them
Ain't you seen enough
I have seen enough of this
I've had quite enough
Seen enough
We got dead-eyed, dead drunk
Dead stupid cyberpunks
Fed-up killer geeks
Gigabyte meth freaks
Home alone in a world of their own
Up all night in the thick of the fight
Fantasy combat, veteran psychos
Removed from reality by silicon diodes
Seen enough
I have seen enough of this
Have you read enough
So, you don't know nothin' about it
You got powerbook potentates
Pointedly obviate
Every opinion
They have about anything
Even if they don't know shit
Stay in the limelight
Got your own website
Got all the answers, ain't got a lick of sense
Practicing psychiatry without a license
Ain't you seen enough
Had enough of this
I have had enough
Ain't it bad enough for you yet
So you got overfed
Talking heads on television
Ignoring the obvious with pained expressions
Ask the ones that sell the damn guns
By the truckload every day
Fast as they can make 'em
What's a kid s'posed to think
When the adults
Refuse all accountability
When they fuck up
Ain't you seen enough
Ain't you had enough of this
Goddam tired enough
Have we done enough about this
I have seen enough
Slowpoke lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Something opened up the gates again,
I can't control it, so I rushed right in.
Here comes a mommy and a little girl,
Saw open drawers from around the world.
I got some medals hanging on my chest,
I've seen some good ones, but I missed the rest.
Lady luck don't you turn on me,
I'm just a student of your history,
I'm just a student of your history.
Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster, I was always behind.
Something pushed back the curtain again,
The stage is deeper and the crowd is in.
The song is gentle, but the song is now.
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found.
Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind.
When I was faster,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster...
I can't control it, so I rushed right in.
Here comes a mommy and a little girl,
Saw open drawers from around the world.
I got some medals hanging on my chest,
I've seen some good ones, but I missed the rest.
Lady luck don't you turn on me,
I'm just a student of your history,
I'm just a student of your history.
Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster, I was always behind.
Something pushed back the curtain again,
The stage is deeper and the crowd is in.
The song is gentle, but the song is now.
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found,
Something's missing, but something is found.
Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,
Wear all your clothes and do what you do.
Slowpoke we got some things to find,
When I was faster, I was always behind.
When I was faster,
When I was faster, I was always behind,
When I was faster...
Dream For Him lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
How am I going to explain it to him
What am I going to say when it's something that grim
How the hell do you tell them there comes an end
How are you going to handle it and still be their friend
How do you explain this world we face
To all of the innocents we brought to this place
These and other questions stand in a row
And I'm not satisfied with the answers I know
What are you going to say to those eyes
I can't even get close to the lies
That are easier to tell, you just say oh, well
I'll explain it when he's older
But somehow that's colder than I want to be
I am uncomfortable lying to a child
Feels like building a trap for something wild
Feels like building your house on the sand
And expecting the ocean to let it stand
Somehow I must come up with better stuff
You see, I'm just not satisfied with all that simplified guff
That they shovel at the kids by the handful
Like candy they buy at the stand full
Of flags by the side of the road
It's not good for them to hand them that load of crap like they do
You see, I want a world where I can tell him the truth
About everything from Jesus to John Wilkes booth
How they lie in the house and the senate too
Only get close to the truth when it suits them to
And the very next day
They're back to lying that way
Of course it doesn't seem to matter what I want
But I look at some of the faces all haggard and gaunt
I wonder which thing made them lose their dreams
'Caus mine is alive very much it would seem
And I would just like to be able to hand it to him
Without the light in those eyes ever getting dim
I want a dream for him
(Dream for him)
No Tears Left lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
So things have gotten weird for you
The foolish do the things they do
Mostly talk right at you without speaking
They're deaf and blind and they cannot think
But now they want to be your shrink
Probing for the missing link and freaking
And it's all about how you got strange
Indifferent to their fear of change
And feeling strong enough to get you peaking
(It's my life)
And I ... I have no tears left
(It's my life)
And I ... well, I ain't done yet
What do I have left
And you rage at their transparency
And total insincerity
That love is why they have to try and help you
But mostly it's about control
They're terrified that you might go
And find out for yourself what they can't teach you
Generations that go through this
The young are punished for their disregard
For every fool who might want to lead them
But living in the here and now
Will cleans the waste of the sacred cows
That clutters up the past you might be seeking
So go ahead and rage and fight
Insist on finding your own light
As wisdom cannot be confused by freedom
(It's my life)
I ... I have no tears left
(It's my life)
I ... well, I ain't done yet
(It's my life)
I got no tears left
(It's my life)
Well, I ain't done yet
What the hell do I have left
The foolish do the things they do
Mostly talk right at you without speaking
They're deaf and blind and they cannot think
But now they want to be your shrink
Probing for the missing link and freaking
And it's all about how you got strange
Indifferent to their fear of change
And feeling strong enough to get you peaking
(It's my life)
And I ... I have no tears left
(It's my life)
And I ... well, I ain't done yet
What do I have left
And you rage at their transparency
And total insincerity
That love is why they have to try and help you
But mostly it's about control
They're terrified that you might go
And find out for yourself what they can't teach you
Generations that go through this
The young are punished for their disregard
For every fool who might want to lead them
But living in the here and now
Will cleans the waste of the sacred cows
That clutters up the past you might be seeking
So go ahead and rage and fight
Insist on finding your own light
As wisdom cannot be confused by freedom
(It's my life)
I ... I have no tears left
(It's my life)
I ... well, I ain't done yet
(It's my life)
I got no tears left
(It's my life)
Well, I ain't done yet
What the hell do I have left
Out Of Control lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Once high on a hill
There was a song
Nothing was wrong
That's when time stood still
Now lovers are caught
Left in their thoughts
Tied to their dreams
Bound by the depth of their love
If I can't hold on to you
If I can't hold on to you
There'll be a sky of fire and hell of blue
If all of our dreams won't come true
I'll cover you, I'll cover you
Sky is fire, Hell is blue
That's why I'm out of control
Build myself up, tear myself down
Build myself up again
I'm talking to you
Trying to get through
Don't wanna hide
Lost in the mirror of love
If I can't hold on to you
If I can't hold on to you
If the sky is wide and heavens good
If all of our dreams won't come true
I'll cover you, I'll cover you
Sky is fire, Hell is blue
Somewhere near the end
Lovers pretend
Lose what they feel
Keep what they get from love
Start missing the drive
Staying alive
Four out of Five
Without the feeling of love
If I can't hold on to you
If I can't hold on to you
If this heart is fire and hell is blue
If all of our dreams won't come true
I'll cover you, I'll cover you.
Someday Soon lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Someday soon you will see by the light of day
That someday soon all your worries will fade away
Keep holding on to the love that has made you strong
And someday soon heartache will all be gone
Someday soon I hope good things come to you
And someday soon hope your wishes all come true
Keep holding on to the love that has brought you here
And someday soon darkness will disappear
When life's too hard to bear for you to take it
Have faith in what you do
You've got to tell yourself
That you can make it through
Someday soon you will get to be your best
And someday soon you will finally get some rest
Keep holding on to the love that came your way
And someday soon shadows will fall away
That someday soon all your worries will fade away
Keep holding on to the love that has made you strong
And someday soon heartache will all be gone
Someday soon I hope good things come to you
And someday soon hope your wishes all come true
Keep holding on to the love that has brought you here
And someday soon darkness will disappear
When life's too hard to bear for you to take it
Have faith in what you do
You've got to tell yourself
That you can make it through
Someday soon you will get to be your best
And someday soon you will finally get some rest
Keep holding on to the love that came your way
And someday soon shadows will fall away
Queen Of Them All lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
When the day is Dawning
Who's the radio
Who's the hand in your hand
Who's the one who knows
When you're on the ropes
She's the one you can lean on
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
Who can call you darling
Who can make you stand
Who's got all the answers
When things get out of hand
Who's got all the moves
She's the queen of them all
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
She's the queen of them all
She's the queen of them all
Walkin' proud with her colors showing
She's the queen of them all
When the sun is setting
Who will hold your hand
Who is always there for you
Who can understand
She's got all the moves
She's the queen of them all
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
Who's the radio
Who's the hand in your hand
Who's the one who knows
When you're on the ropes
She's the one you can lean on
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
Who can call you darling
Who can make you stand
Who's got all the answers
When things get out of hand
Who's got all the moves
She's the queen of them all
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
She's the queen of them all
She's the queen of them all
Walkin' proud with her colors showing
She's the queen of them all
When the sun is setting
Who will hold your hand
Who is always there for you
Who can understand
She's got all the moves
She's the queen of them all
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
And I really don't know why I feel so good
But it's happening to me so I knock on wood
Sanibel lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
There's a ship
And it sails a sea of light
On it's way to me tonight
From a distant shore
Taking me home once more
And the waves
And the whistling of the wind
Make me come alive again
My destiny's at my door
Going to leave this town forever
And go where I'll never
Nead an overcoat no more, where they cry ...
Ooh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away
Where they cry ...
Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
There's a girl
And I see her dressed in white
As she lies there in the night
I can hear her cry
Where has he gone and why
But she knows
That someday he will arrive
And it keeps her love alive
Dreams can never die
She looks across the ocean
At sails in motion
In the early morning sky, where they cry ...
Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
Whispering there sweet love songs
Calling out to me
And it sails a sea of light
On it's way to me tonight
From a distant shore
Taking me home once more
And the waves
And the whistling of the wind
Make me come alive again
My destiny's at my door
Going to leave this town forever
And go where I'll never
Nead an overcoat no more, where they cry ...
Ooh lalalala, every night and every day
Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away
Where they cry ...
Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell
Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
There's a girl
And I see her dressed in white
As she lies there in the night
I can hear her cry
Where has he gone and why
But she knows
That someday he will arrive
And it keeps her love alive
Dreams can never die
She looks across the ocean
At sails in motion
In the early morning sky, where they cry ...
Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
Whispering there sweet love songs
Calling out to me
American Dream lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor,
Accusations that you try to deny,
Revelations and rumors begin to fly.
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast?
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor,
Accusations that you try to deny,
Revelations and rumors begin to fly.
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast?
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,

Got It Made lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Know you are a friend of mine, babe you been gone
An awful long time. You might remember me, I tried
To set your soul free.
Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.
I'm gonna be missing you, even though I understand that you're not through.
Go on take it day by day, seems like I lost you anyway.
Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.
When you came to save the world I caused your
Dreams to fade,
I couldn't do what you did and rained on your parade.
Glad that you got it made.
Glad that you got it made.
Hard set of changes, for anyone that I know,
You're gonna make it, make it, make it better for you
And me and anyone else you know.
Just don't forget me, I'll be there when you're done
And in the meantime, meantime, you'll get to know
Yourself
So don't judge anyone else, anyone.
It doesn't matter I don't mind, I'm sure that you'll
Remember sometime, even if you never do,
All you need to worry `bout now is you.
Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your
Last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.
Glad that you got it made.
An awful long time. You might remember me, I tried
To set your soul free.
Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.
I'm gonna be missing you, even though I understand that you're not through.
Go on take it day by day, seems like I lost you anyway.
Glad that you got it made, when did you finalize your last trade?
You are the only one I've ever seen do what you done
Done
Anything that you done done, you are the only one
Don't put me under your gun.
When you came to save the world I caused your
Dreams to fade,
I couldn't do what you did and rained on your parade.
Glad that you got it made.
Glad that you got it made.
Hard set of changes, for anyone that I know,
You're gonna make it, make it, make it better for you

Glad that you got it made.
Name Of Love lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
You who rule upon the land,
You hold the future in your hand,
When you take your people down the road,
Before another bomb explodes.
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
And when you sail upon the sea
This one's for you, this one's for me.
Before another missile flies
You who soar into the sky
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
And so I shout it around the world
To every boy and every girl,
Yeah, I shout it around the world
To every boy and every girl,
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
You hold the future in your hand,
When you take your people down the road,
Before another bomb explodes.
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
And when you sail upon the sea
This one's for you, this one's for me.
Before another missile flies
You who soar into the sky
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
And so I shout it around the world
To every boy and every girl,
Yeah, I shout it around the world
To every boy and every girl,
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
Can you do it in the name of love?
Don't Say Goodbye lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna face my world without you.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.
Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna live my life without you.
Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna see you walk away from me.
If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
My heart is on my sleeve
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.
If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
In you I still believe
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna live my life without you.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.
I don't wanna face my world without you.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.
Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna live my life without you.
Never tell me goodbye,
I don't wanna see you walk away from me.
If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
My heart is on my sleeve
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.
If I open up my heart
I can always find you there
So I'll never be apart from you
In you I still believe
And even though you started to
I hope you never leave,
Never leave, me alone.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna live my life without you.
Never leave me alone (don't say goodbye)
I don't wanna lose your lasting love.
This Old House lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking,
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up
When I close the door.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy,
And how he always made things work, when the chips were down,
And I know I've got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be found.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a swing outside the kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Remember how we first came here together?
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor.
Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming,
And I don't wanna wake you up
When I close the door.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy,
And how he always made things work, when the chips were down,
And I know I've got something inside me
There's always a light there to guide me
To what can't be found.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a swing outside the kids play on every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Remember how we first came here together?
Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.
Later, we came back in the moonlight
And made love right where the kitchen is,
Then we made our plans.
This old house of ours is built on dreams
And a businessman don't know what that means.
There's a garden outside she works in every day
And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's
Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Nighttime For Generals lyrics - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Well it's nighttime and the long cars
Are arriving at the door,
The general is having another party,
With a congressman or three
And some guys you never see outside the bank.
There's a laughing clink of glasses
And a polished click of boots
And bitter talk of a country
With a weakness in its roots.
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.
"Well the fools don't know the difference
It's for their own good," they said.
And they shot blind Lady Liberty
In the back of her head.
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.
They giveth, they taketh,
Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime.
Are arriving at the door,
The general is having another party,
With a congressman or three
And some guys you never see outside the bank.
There's a laughing clink of glasses
And a polished click of boots
And bitter talk of a country
With a weakness in its roots.
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.
"Well the fools don't know the difference
It's for their own good," they said.
And they shot blind Lady Liberty
In the back of her head.
And it's nighttime for the generals
And the boys at the C.I.A.
Power gone mad in the darkness
Thinking they're God on a good day
They giveth, they taketh
But they like to take it away.
They giveth, they taketh,
Nighttime, nighttime, nighttime.
