Old Man 07:24
Yesterday I thought I knew where it was I'm going to But halfway there I realized I ain't got no clue What the hell is going on Where am I, east or west, take a look at my GPS Streets were paved just recently, looks too good for my hood People crossing carefully Hey hey like I don't know it Old man, your age is showing Another day on the job, same routine, or so I thought Lifting this, pulling that, felt a twinge in my back What is this? Later on, that same day, I felt a need to let one fly But halfway to the boys room I started to without me What a surprise He hey, like I don't know it Old man, your age is showing You know, I used to think getting old was like the end of the world I dreaded it, man But now I'm there and things are different I don't give a damn about what people think And it's been a long time coming Aging is liberating, man Yeh Hey hey like I don't know it Old man, your age is showing Old man, your time is over Move aside so slowly

This Place 04:48
Well, I’m tryin’ to find Tryin’ to find a way out of this place I’ve been here so long Still not used to this place They tell me one thing but they do another They try to lead but don’t know where they’re going They take from me and They’re taking more from you And they’ve got more than they know what to do How long before I snap, you know I’m not the only one like that What if we all snapped at one time What’s gonna happen to your house of cards Well, I’m gonna try A new mind and a new face But what difference will it make If I’m still in the same place And the lies keep comin naturally They really think they’re fooling you and me And the worst thing is that they think we’re stupid That we’re grateful for all the shit they give us How long before I snap, you know I’m not the only one like that What if we all snapped at one time What’s gonna happen to your house of cards Well I really feel Like burning all their toys to the ground I used to be All about peace and love but you’ve changed me now And the lies keep comin naturally They really think they’re fooling you and me And the worst thing is that they think we’re stupid That we’ll be grateful for all the shit they give us How long before I snap, you know I’m not the only one like that What if we all snapped at one time What’s gonna happen to your house of cards

I'm in love with a woman She don't love me enough She's gonna do what she pleases If I don't like it it's tough When she gives me time, it's all fine I feel like I'm living the dream I feel like twenty five, like I've got A brand new life I hope she lets me down easy Is that the best I can do Cause I don't have too much time, no Til I forget who she is When she gives me time, it's all fine I feel like I'm living the dream I feel like twenty five, like I've got A brand new life Where did it go I just don't know How did it sink So Low Give me your love... When she gives me time...

When you smile, I know just what you want And who you want it from When you cry, I feel like making love In a thousand ways I care for you baby But I wanna make one thing clear I could never love you On my mind, the wetness that is you And how it feels on me In my arms, I feel your shaking body We're in ecstasy I'm there for you baby When no one else is around But I will never love you Oh baby, try to understand I've been alone for way too long I will never change my ways for you No matter what you try to say No matter what you do

Turn To Gold 05:11
I can feel your sadness What they did was so wrong And I know you're feeling This is gonna drive you down Into the depths of hell Please don't feel a need to fight Don't feel like you have to make it right It's out of your hands now You must learn to let it go And I surely know That you will overcome this All your pain is gonna turn to gold It's so easy now To throw it all away You can see the darkness But not the light that's just beyond You can't see the people All around that count on you You are such a shining light In their loving eyes, yes you are And I surely know That you will overcome this All your pain is gonna turn to gold
