Альбом Cinderella

Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
I got this feeling like a train's running through my head
Turned on my radio to the same old song
Some big mouth talking trying to tell us where the world went wrong

But all this talk of peace and love
It's only for the news
Cause everytime you trust someone
You end up getting screwed

The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain

Came to this morning I was feeling mighty used
Picked up the telephone but all I got's a major attitude
Turned on the TV to the same old news
Everybody thinks they got the answer to the same old blues

Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life

The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain
Take me away

Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life

The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away

The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle

The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change

Have mercy on a poor boy's heart
Cause I got the key that can make your motor start
Can't you love me
Without messin' me around
You took everything I got then kick me when I'm down
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil

I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time

Have mercy on a poor boy's soul
I've been down so long never thought I could feel so low
First you love me
Then you stab my back
Close the door, turn the key, all I can see is black
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil

I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time

So what's a poor boy supposed to do
I've done everything I can, I've been so true
You got a mean streak
Like an alley cat
You sucked all the love from me like a vampire bat
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil

I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time

Everybody needs a little place they can hide
Somewhere to call their own
Don't let nobody inside
Every now and then we all need to let go
For some it's a doctor, for me it's rock and roll

For some it's a bottle
For some it's a pill
Some people read the Bible cause it's givin' them a thrill

I was one to figure if they don't like what they see
If you live in a glass house don't be throwing rocks at me

(Chorus)

We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ohhh and it'll be alright

Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
But when the doors are closed there ain't nothing he won't try
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife

Tipper led the war against the record industry
She said she saw the devil on her MTV
To look into the cabinet it takes more than a key
Just like Jimmy's skeleton's and his ministry

(Chorus)

For some it's a needle for some it's pill
Some people read the Bible cause it's giving them a thrill
You can spend your money before you get your pay
With a toss of the dice you can piss it all away

(Chorus)

Waiting at the station
Tears filling up my eyes
Sometimes the pain you hide
Burns like a fire inside
Look out my window
Sometimes it's hard to see
The things you want in life
Come and go so easily

CHORUS
She took the last train
Out of my heart
She took the last train
And now I think I'll make
A brand new start
She took the last train
Out of my heart

Watching the days go by
Thinking 'bout the plans we made
Days turn into years
Funny how they fade away
Sometimes I think of those days
Sometimes I just hide away
Waiting on that 9:20 train
Waiting on a memory

CHORUS

My lady's on the fly
And she's never coming back
My love is like a steam train
Rolling down the tracks yea, yeaa

CHORUS

oooh there used to be a time when I thought I had the answers
answers to the questions that nobody knew
used to be a time when I had some time
but when I had the time I didn't know what to do
wasted all those years never gettin any younger
times kept a-changin but I still got the hunger
only trouble is the walls are closin in
sometimes I wanna give it all away

-chorus
I just wanna be free...oh free like the wind
and if the wind fills my sails then I'm never coming back again

maybe I'll head down south to New Orleans
wouldn't have no taxes cause I wouldn't have the means
looking for a genie that could fill my dreams
but dreams become reality and real ain't what it seems to be

-chorus x2-

Sick for the cure on this roller coaster ride
it can take you real low and it can get you real high
just passin time, but time ain't on my side
oh, guitar

-instrumental-

-chorus x3-

I was born on the dawn of a new society
And I feel lucky that my eyes could see
People standing up and being who they want to be
People made the music and the music made them free
Now I was just a baby through the summer of love they say
But it still feels like it was today
And if the road gets rough I pick up my guitar and play
It's always been right by my side to help me on my way

Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow
Ain't anticipating what's to come
And I don't need to worry 'bout the things I have not done
Long as I got rock and roll I'm forever young

Now we can't always understand this world
Farther along we'll understand it all
The seventies looked like we all were headed for a fall
But those who listened hard enough could hear the summer call
Now I was growing up through all of this
My first beer and love and my first kiss
You never learn the things in school
You learn by living and going through
You taught me how to be myself
How can I thank you

Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow
Ain't anticipating what's to come
And I don't need to worry 'bout the things I have not done
Long as I got rock and roll I'm forever young
Play a little now

Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow
Ain't anticipating what's to come
And I don't need to worry 'bout the things I have not done
Long as I got rock and roll I'm forever young

And I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow
Ain't anticipating what's to come
And I don't need to worry 'bout the things I have not done
Long as I got rock and roll I'm forever young
Long as I got rock and roll I'm forever young
Ain't it the truth

When I was young, old man sat me on his knee
he told me if I had a dream, I could be what I wanna be
Now life goes on a voice echos in the wind
it's telling me to carry on, now I know that it's him

-chorus-
he said whoa, watch out boy
don't go messin with your life cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
it could all pass you by down on dead man's road

Now I got a good woman
ya know she's looking out for me
and if I get a little blind ya know she helps me to see
but I gotta keep runnin' because they're catching up to me
I think I hear that voice again, this time it says to me

-chorus-
he said whoa, watch out boy
don't go messin with your life cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
it could all pass you by down on dead man's road

-instrumental-

when I was young old man sat me on his knee

-chorus-
he said whoa, watch out boy
don't go messin with your life cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
don't you let it pass you by down on dead man's road
-repeat chorus-

Born and raised in a one dog town
That never took a chance or a dare
The times kept a changin' but it all passed 'em by
The prejudices in the air
Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five
Kept my momma walking the floor
But I had to draw the line for the very last time
She kicked my ass out the door

It ain't always easy when you're living hand to mouth
The more you put in, the less you get out
It ain't always easy when you're living day to day
It ain't always easy when you're tryin' to make your own way

Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make yor own way
Nobody's gonna die for you

I remember rollin' dice on the run
Looking for a winning hand
We never stop to wonder at the wonders passing by
Just searchin' for the promised land
We met a mean old man
Who dealt a dirty hand
Promised we could touch the sky
But the devil's his friend
He put the pen in my hand
Said you can pay me back after you die

It ain't always easy when you're living hand to mouth
The more you put in, the less you get out
It ain't always easy when you're living day to day
It ain't always easy when you're tryin' to make your own way

Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make yor own way
Nobody's gonna die for you

Ah, ah, ah sometimes you gotta walk the straight line
Ah, ah, ah feel like I'm just doing time

Ooo, when life gets a little hard
You gotta gotta ooo make your own way
Sometimes you gotta make your own way
Here we go

Ooo, sing it for 'em now, yeah
Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make your own way
Ain't nobody gonna die for you
Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make your own way
Ain't nobody gonna die for you
Make your own way
You gotta gotta make your own way
Make your own way
Make your own way
You gotta make your own way
Make your own way
Gotta make your own way
Make your own way

When I was down
An angel came to me
And she touched me inside
That woman set me free
Turned on the light
So I could see
That there was fire inside
And I could feel the heat

She's got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That woman's got electric love

Ooo, electric love
There ain't no medicine
That makes me fly
Like when I'm with my sweet woman
She keeps me so satisfied
And if we had no money
We'd still get by
And if the world should stop turnin'
Our love would be alive

She's got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That woman's got electric love
Look out

She's got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That woman's got electric love

Whoa yeah
She gets me high, so high
Ooo yeah, she makes the stars shine
Burning all the time
That woman's got electric love

Electric love
Electric love
She's got the fire
She's got the fire
Electric love
Electric love
Electric love

If I hear you stalkin'
Looking for sympathy
You just keep on walkin'
Actin' like you don't know me
Ain't nothin' new for you
Honey what you put me through
Seven years ago today
There ain't no other way

Once bitten now two cents shy
Almost the apple of your daddy's eye

But your love
Your love's gone bad
Yea, yea, yea
Your love
Your love's gone bad

If I hear you talkin'
Gettin' in my ear
Listen to the words I say
Let me make this very clear
Don't ask for money
Don't you think my name
Everything was sunny
Dream about it ain't the same

Once bitten now two cents shy
Almost the apple of your daddy's eye

But your love
Your love's gone bad
Yea, yea, yea
Your love
Your love's gone bad

Once bitten now two cents shy
Almost the apple of your daddy's eye

But your love
Your love's gone bad
Yea, yea, yea
Your love
Your love's gone bad Your love
Your love's gone bad
yea, yea, yea
Your love's gone bad

Your love's gone bad
Your love's gone bad
So bad

I look into the mirror
Can almost count the years
The memories are clearer
Of all those things I feared
I watch the time pass slowly
It comes and goes like the waves
The sea can touch the sky at night
It's got the freedom I crave

I'm going through changes in my life
I'm going through changes
It'll be alright

Look into a picture
A thousand years are told
Now is it any wonder
What our tomorrows hold
Our yesterdays are over
You know they go so fast
If I could rule the winds of change
You know I'd make it all last

I'm going through changes in my life
I'm going through changes
It'll be alright
Alright

I walked alone through the blackest night
I felt the cold, I felt the bite
I took the high road but it ain't right
It's just the low road in disguise

I'm going through changes
Ah yea
Everything's gonna be alright, yea

Got to the top of an uphill climb
Only to look down the other side
Just when you think it's on your side
This world will show you ain't no reason to the rhyme

I'm going through changes
Ah yea
Everything's gonna be alright

Times keep a changing every day
Watch out now cause it's heading your way
Ah yea
Seems like the world turned upside down
Seems like everything's falling down
But it's all getting better every day
Watch out now cause a good times heading our way
Ah, every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
