War Of Hearts And Minds - Bamboo

War of hearts and minds
Who will pay the price?
Does anybody care?
It’s not make believe
You’ve seen it on your TV screens
I’m glad you’re not here

Take my wife please
If you think it’s funny
Cut my heart out for a souvenir
Take my life please
If you think it’s worth it
I’m glad you’re not here

War of hearts and minds
7 days later
I still can’t find
Truth and peace
How will I find my way
They say love, love without fear
Is said to be the key
But just look around
No clear answer to be found
Get me out of here

Take my wife please
If you think it’s funny
Cut my heart out for a souvenir
Take my life please
If you think it’s worth it
I’m glad you’re not here

These Days - Bamboo

These days
I seem to find
A million reasons to sit around
and waste my mind
I know what’s being said and that’s all fine
You tell me to get a life
Do you understand the weight of that line?
take me for all I am

Coz I can find
My own way
Big date tonight
There’s no tomorrow
So let’s leave it on the line
Coz there’s time
It’s not too late
To change direction
Turn your head son
So let’s leave it on the line

There’s something within
That’s telling me that I’m just playing it too cool
I could pretty much lose everything
I never had an apple
that tasted so… so sweet
Given the chance, the choice
Take me for all I am

Coz I can find
My own way
Big date tonight
There’s no tomorrow
So let’s leave it on the line
Coz there’s time
It’s not too late
To change direction
Turn your head son
So let’s leave it on the line

Today…
I am free
Free to fly
Free to be what they tell me I cannot be
Happy birthday to me

Coz I can find
My own way
Big date tonight
There’s no tomorrow
So let’s leave it on the line
Coz there’s time
It’s not too late
To change direction
Turn your head son
So let’s leave it on the line

Is this the light at the end?
Where the picture is clearer
the reception is warmer
Is this the light at the end?
You’re looking lot better
we’re happy too see ya
Is this the light at the end?
You got what you came for
you know where to find the door
Is this the light at the end?
Where the women are hot
but the beer’s a lot colder
Is this the light at the end?
Yo momma’s looking good
what she doing for dinner?
Is this the light at the end?
If yo momma’s busy
does she have a younger sister?
Is this the light at the end?
You got what you came for
you know where to find the door
Is this the light at the end?

You know when I woke up
To beautiful morning
Till you showed up
Nauseous I was too see you
standing there in my presence
But it was all right
Coz I’m not about to fight
When this bird wants to sing
I’ll SING

Gunpoint that suppose to scare me into submission
A slave to your will, fear, greed and ambition
But I’m not game…
I’m not game to your flame
There’s no discussion
I will fight to the end… fighter

Tatsulok - Bamboo

Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo
Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo
Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan
At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw

Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpa-gabi
Baka mapagkamalan ka’t humandusay dyan sa tabi
Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno’t dulo
Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito

[refrain]
Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman

[chorus]
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo

At ang dating munting bukid, ngayo’y sementeryo
Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok
Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok

[repeat refrain and chorus]

[repeat refrain and chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Di matatapos itong gulo

So Far Away - Bamboo

So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away

One more song about movin’ along the highway
Can’t say much of anything that’s new
If I could only work this life out my way
I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you

But you’re so far away
You’re so far away

Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
But there’s so many dreams
I’ve yet to find

But you’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn’t help to know, it doesn’t help to knowIt doesn’t help to know

You’re so far away

Peace Man - Bamboo

Light, Peace, Love
have words to say to you my friend
Is it hard to know what’s right from wrong
Have you ever felt your life so self assured
You don’t know the things that you’ve done wrong

And then we’ll say
We’ll rip out our covers
Shake the walls until they break
I’ll hold out my hand to you
Supreme love and respect
Peace man

At first it seems so daunting
How to start or how to grow
But make believe becomes a living
Cuz in life, in life you will know

Peace man

Much Has Been Said - Bamboo

Much has been said
Said you never leave
Why’d it have to be
Harder than it had to be
Don’t you throw blame
You were a part of this
Wasn’t suppose to end
With us just walking away
So many times we tried
Holding on to the pain but in my baby’s eyes I see my shame
Asking why you had to leave
Wasn’t I strong enough to make you see
That the biggest part of this
It’s not about you and me
But just be wrong if we held on
Maybe tomorrow we’ll find
A taste for the old days hard lessons
We’ve left behind
This mirrors an open door
I can barely stand to see myself
I don’t know what to do anymore
I’m crying out for help
Ohh lord

Much has been said
Will I never learn
Keeping my fingers crossed
Praying for my luck to turn
But I can’t complain
I’m living it easy
Job’s keeping me busy
Going crazy
Can’t describe the way it felt
When you left said your goodbyes
It just seems crazy for me to think
That I’ll find love a second time
But we all know how it all wraps up in the end
Maybe tomorrow we’ll find
Ohhh lord…

What am I leaving behind
Sweet how we see the big picture when your life’s not on the line
I know the way out but do you see what I see
A tortured life always second guessing the bookie
Put money on the table thought that was all I had to do
Never came home
Never said a word to you
No one ever said it was going to be easy…
Easy start over again this time this time
Let’s do it right
Start over again this time this time
Let’s keep the fires burning

Mr. Clay - Bamboo

Red sun dawn
Guns are drawn
Skull and bones
Beast of war
Father help me stop this
Rush of blood to the head
Look at you I see red
Start this game
I’ll end it

By this hate that you hepl the world create
I’ve been sent
Now repent
I’m the war that comes to you
The plague that follows through

All by my self
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed me
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me

Talk too much mutherfucker hush
You had your chance to change things
Move in the direction of right
Choose to set the bar
But then you had to pick a fight
So what’s daddy done for you lately?
Brought you the throne
Like stealing candy from a baby
Line your pockets in mucho dinero
Paid in full with the blood of the people

So now you got the fires rockin
Blood and Hate
Then you got the people talking
Legacy
You will never be forgotten
Your place in history
A black mark in time
A black mark in time

All by my self
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed me
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me

Peace and flowers
Will kill the superpower
The fall of rome is near
Can’t you hear?
It’s been written, it’s been said
The revealations I had read
The signs are here
Those days are over
Walk away from the line
For now is the time

All by my self
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed me
I’m stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There’s no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me

Masaya - Bamboo

Ako’y malungkot nanaman
Amoy chico na ako
Ilang tagay na hindi pa rin tulog
Tanong ko lang sa langit
Kung bakit pumangit

Nung dating masaya
Ngayo’y panay problemang
bumabalot sa buto
Bakit ganito

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya

Pagkagising ko
Nakita ko si juan
Na syang adik
sa aming lugar

Parang droga daw ang bisa
Na ginagamit niya kanina
Sa una lang daw
Masarap

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya
Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Pagbago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga
Masaya

I-You - Bamboo

Pain
Leads to freedom
It’s everyone’s opinion not my own
Fame
Crystal kingdom
It’s everybody’s mission not my own

Not too young
Not that old
Neither bitter
Neither cold

Just an optimist
Who’s become a little cynical
Under gloom
Don’t be afraid
Love is stronger than it all
Stronger than this soul divided

All these years I never really know what love is
Til I found you… found you

This new faith where the altar is the bed
Where the church feels like a motel room
Where gold turns to lead
Hello
Do you believe

Love is stronger than us all
Stronger than two worlds colliding

I-you burn like fire from below sears the flesh feeds the souls desire…

I-you stronger than before rising through the dust like a phoenix

F.U - Bamboo

Verse 1:
why do you hate him
why did you make him leave
yhere's nothing wrong with him
why do you hate him
you want him crucified
Is it the way he looks or the way he speaks his mind

Chorus:
never hear this song playing on the radio
ohh... There's nothing wrong with him
but it's you and your friends
ohh... there's nothing wrong with him
but it's you and your friends

never hear this song playing on the radio

Verse 2:
all you ever did was talk about her
she's done what she had to do
having to raise two kids without a father
you just stood by idly watched her suffer
you think you're something special
boy you blew it This conversation's over

Chorus:
never hear this song playing on the radio
ohh... There's nothing wrong with him
but it's you and your friends
ohh... there's nothing wrong with him
but it's you and your friends

never hear this song playing on the radio

ohh... There's nothing wrong with him
but it's you and your friends
ohh... there's nothing wrong with him
but it's you and your friends
never hear this song playing on the radio

(Repeat chorus)

Englishman In NewYork - Bamboo

I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say

(Be yourself no matter what they say 9x)
"whoa I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York 4x"

Dinnet At 6 - Bamboo

Verse 1:
Dinner at 6 I can no longer wait for your call I've waiting for days
It's hard for me to think youve forgotten my no.
When we had such a nice chat the other day
Hope nothing serious has happened
It's been a good weekend called my mother 3 times
My streaks finally broken
It's been a while since I've seen such a lovely face
will nothing spoil my day ... let nothing spoil my day
I'm afraid to look, only to find
You could be just the rest, give me a sign

Pre-chorus:
You think youve figure me out
I'm a mess you still want to stay
Like fine wine this keeps getting better with time
so what's the delay

Chorus:
Well I know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn't been any better this is my curtain call
Well I know you know my name that little look you gave gave you away
So behave I'll be nice
I don't need to be told twice

Verse 2:
6 in the morning I'm still here
I'm still here, what you read in the paper
I tell you their lies
Stop looking at me with those vanishing eyes
The gods have spoken and I,m force to fib
It was the night of night
I went out for a little drink

Met up with an old friend said hello Goodbye...
I gotta go Home...
You afraid to take a hard let me sell you my story It's tragic

Pre-chorus:

You think youve figure me out you still don't want to stay

Save my tears for later I get something cooking. Let's not delay

( REPEAT CHORUS )

Instrumental:

Better behave
Take a better look at myself
Better behave
Take a closer look at myself
This is a shame
This is a shame
Have I fallen from grace (2x)
I've fallen (3x)

Children Of The Sun - Bamboo

Take your best shot…

You crossed the line
You think you’ve paid your dues
You’re here to take what’s mine
Run for cover son this is no challenge for the weak
Ain’t taking victims
Ride this winner to the end
Ride this winner to the end of the line

Children of the sun
Fight on fight harder
This is the call
Children of the sun
Fight on fight on

Argos - Bamboo

I cried for days
Wasn’t sure how i got to you
Walked through my knees
Wasn’t the battle saved inside of me
Please i beg you, hey

I’ll make ‘em pay
Left, right and on the outside
Come play your game
That you’re wasted for the reason
I fought the reason

Show me, show me, show me
You say i don’t belong

You say we don’t belong
Well duty bounds me

On the cover of a magazine
The girl of your dreams
My hero’s weapon is what you will seek
Don’t be all you can be
You can

Save me now, but not today

Alpha Beta Omega - Bamboo

Search and you’ll define
The sky between the lines I could never tell truth from victim
Escape is a tired line
Knock knock
Sun is creeping laying down the land a smear on the wicked
Now if you’re ready to bleed
Turn your head
From the right follow me
Give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper
No gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother
Fight me man to man - look me in the eye
I got a family a feed
Will I learn from this
What can you teach me

It’s out of control
The times are crazy
We don’t even care who sits on the throne
Doesn’t matter to most of us
Just don’t mess with the status quo
Gas paint my picture everyday
Every stone’s been thrown
Lay siege to my kingdom
My covers blown
You blind dealing with death
Every dollar a headstone
Where the rich get richer
The poor just multiply
That’s smart divide and conquer
I keep em entertained
While your steal their hard-earned mula
Was there ever a time we dreamed of something better?
Sounds real good but you’re telling me to wait for fairer weather

Let it rain
Fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe)
Only the strong should survive
With permission I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire… from the fire

Yes sir yes ma’am I get the picture
We educate the masses who’s gonna be cooking our dinners
Such a waste of time thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters
When you can pay below the minimum (shoot that man)
Excuse me but can I follow up that order
But all this talk don’t come cheap
We all know what has to be done
Our very own personal revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution

Now here you come walking into my part of town
Telling people you have such a solution
Quick fix you got a story
Boy meets girl — stop they have kids
Poppa works while Ma raises the ten babies
She’s praying every night that they’ll one day hit the jackpot
9 lucky numbers win the lottery
A million gets me out of this hole
But when the well dries up where do I go
Little Pablo doesn’t even know how to read or write
I’m starving sweet Ana so I can get a good price for her
2 down 8 to go oh wait he’s got good skin tone
got nice smile and accent but kinda smells though
now where do you think you going talking that kind of tank
that doesn’t happen not on my watch no that doesn’t happen
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
Let’s give em a fighting chance and see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
If I don’t do nothing let’s see where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They got front row seats don’t tell me they know
I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
They don’t need your donation what about education
