Powerful Stuff

here’s a fire burning too hot to touch
Making my wheels turning, make a young girl
Just a love addiction, causing to much friction
Just a little kiss, got me in a mess like this
Too much of a good thing ain’t never enough
Once you get a little taste of that ooh la la
Love that powerful Stuff
The politics of passion, making front page news
Saxophone and ho-monica, blowing more than the blues
She was so young and willing
Got the spin doctors wheelin and dealin,
just a little late night oral dictation
Couldn't filibuster the bill

Sorry Shade of Blue
Lyrics: Chris Caswell, Kazz Song Inc. Music: John Lee Sanders, Swampmeister Music, ASCAP
I’m in a sorry, sorry shade of blue
I’m feeling sorry for myself
And what I’m going through
I tried to change my outlook
I tried to change my ways
Still I dance my darkest dances
When the music starts to play
I’m in a sorry shade of blue
Addicted to the reckless things I do
And what was once wrong or right
Is no longer black and white
I’m in a sorry shade of blue
You know sometimes my eyes are open wide
And then I make up my mind to get off this ride
Before I know it, I start to blow it
I’m climbing back onboard
And my eyes are closed to common sense
And I’ve got the pedal floored
Chorus
It’s so obvious, the life I lead
Is in now way shape or form
Connected to the life I lead
You know I party much to hearty
To cover up my fears
‘Til one day, there’s no way back
And I’ll just disappear
chorus

No Man's A Free Man

No man’s a Free Man
You can smoke a cigarette
But you can’t smoke a joint
The legal one will kill you
I just don’t see the point
It’s against the law to kill yourself
If you try and fail
Does some judge give you life
By throwing you in jail
Oh it’s all so phony, a sober testimony
No man’s a free man
You can sell or buy a gun
Raise a little hell
But if you’re selling sex
You’re gonna wind up in a cell
The helmet must be worn
The seat belt buckled tight
The choice should be your own
But you haven’t got the right
Oh it’s oh so phony, a sober testimony
No man’s a free man
We’re all created equal, so the Bible say
Still the bookie gets arrested
While the lottery’s ok
Devil’s gonna get you
If you’re living in sin
If you’re living on the street lord
It’s the cops who take you in
Oh it’s oh so phony
A sober testimony
No man’s a free man
A man can get married
But not to another man
Poor man can’t afford the tax
But a rich one can
You can throw away your mattress
When it’s outlived it’s time
Rip off the tag, you committed a crime
Oh it’s oh so phony
A sober testimony
No man’s a free man
