Track Name: Way Of The Fool
These three days under the stone.
Now my mother, she calls me home.
Now my sister, she calls me home.
These five nights under the sun.
Tell me now would you call me one?

These songs that I sing,
And the message I bring,
It ain’t nothin’ but the rambling
Of a fool on the way.

Seven birds up in a dead birch tree.
Do you know what they said to me?
They said son, we’re gonna set you free,
When we tell you that there’s no more me.
Track Name: Genetically Enhanced Atomic Race Of Superhumans
It’s inevitable that we’ll all be turning shades of grey,
Someday, walking through the rubble of a nuclear blast
With our minds on the past, we’ll say:
Our DNA is incomplete and we desperately need
another feat of science, with men in white lab coats,
standing with their fingers in a beaker-full of life.

In the future, tip your hat to the scientists when they command
A genetically enhanced atomic race of superhumans.

And then, when the future has arrived,
We’ll fly into the sky shooting lasers from our eyes,
And so few of us will stay on this planet of decay
As it rolls along its way.
We’ll find that the vastness of space
Has never gone to waste: there’s others in our place.
We’ll go from galaxy to galaxy
Watching planets as they live the same story.

In the future, tip your hat to the scientists when they command
A genetically enhanced atomic race of superhumans.
Track Name: Eusko Gudariak
Eusko gudariak gara, Euskadi askatzeko.
Gerturik daukagu odola bere aldez emateko.

Gorra Euskadi Askatuta. Gorra ETA Militarra. Gorra Euskal Herria.

Irrintzi bat etzun da, mendi tontorrean.
Goazen gudari danok ikurrinan atzean.

Gorra Euskadi Askatuta. Gorra ETA Militarra. Gorra Euskal Herria.
Track Name: For The People
Jean Dominique spoke out on the air for the people.
Che Guevara saw the value of the lowliest people.
Rigoberta Menchu wrote down her story for the people.
The man in Tiananmen stood up to a tank for the people.

Raise your fist to defend and resist the powers that be
And the propaganda machine.
Do you believe in the power of the people?

Abby Hoffman wrote it down in a book for the people.
Rosa Parks stayed right where she was for the people.
Mohandas Gandhi taught peace and grace to the people.
Martin Luther King held words like a weapon for the people.

Raise your fist to defend and resist the powers that be
And the propaganda machine.
Do you believe in the power of the people?
Track Name: Take Me In
This place, it knows me well.
Every atom has a story to tell,
And memories dance across my skin,
Playing chords majestic, take me in.

Take me in to the place of silence.
Water me with fire.
Take me in to the place of sorrow,
For tomorrow we shall stand,
With the joy of every hand connected.

I find no answers here.
Only questions drawing me, drawing near.
And the greatest one of all, it enters in.
It lives in mystery – take me in.

Take me in to the place of silence.
Water me with fire.
Take me in to the place of sorrow,
For tomorrow we shall stand,
With the joy of every hand connected.
Track Name: La Femme Qui Me Fait Chanter
On se connait depuis longtemps.
Pendant des années, je te voyais comme une amie de moi,
Une bonne ami, quelqu'une qui entend ce que je dis.
Mais maintenant, quand je pense à toi,
J’ai tellement faim pour le sens de tes bras,
Et j'ai peur que ca ne va jamais arriver;
Si je rien dis ou si je rien fais.

Alors, il y avait pleine des choses que je voulais faire.
Il y a pleine des choses que je veux dire.
Il faut trouver des mots, mail ils ne sont pas la.
Sauf que tu es la femme qui me fait chanter ça.

Oh j'aimerais bien d'être chez toi,
Je ne suis pas désole ma chérie juste une fois.
Quand je m'imagine dans tes bras, je souris,
Cars tu es la lumière de ma vie.
Mais moi, je trouve qu'il n'y a
Rien que je peux faire pour ça;
Et le pire c'est vraiment
Que je ne pourrais jamais avoir ton amour.

Alors, il y avait pleine des choses que je voulais faire.
Il y a pleine des choses que je veux dire.
Il faut trouver des mots, mail ils ne sont pas la.
Sauf que tu es la femme qui me fait chanter ça.
