lirik lagu joey the bull - mk. 1
[intro: charlie chaplin]
i’m sorry, but i don’t want to be an emperor
that’s not my business
i don’t want to rule or conquer anyone
i should like to help everyone if possible
jew, gentile, black man, white
we all want to help one another
human beings are like that
we want to live by each other’s happiness
not by each other’s misery
we don’t want to hate and despise one another
in this world there is room for everyone
and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone
the way of life can be free and beautiful
but we have lost the way
[verse 1: joey the bull]
can’t keep my head above water
maybe i entered life this way?
even if sufficed to say
this kicking and splashing makes me prey
dead give away
as if this face ain’t enough
the expression of pup when my mental’s abrupt
never planned on being able to take this much
life’s best material
to stand me up
oxymoron
i don’t feel less of a joke
gohan
i put stress on the flow
no dumb blonde
i feel best when i know
go on
but circ-mstances can change
it’s so easy to complain
when your drop has been dropped
in the drops of the drain
howling ya vain
cause you’re not entertained
by illusions that hop in ya brain
focus
so out of focus
you don’t even notice stops on the train
but that’s highly profane
nothing supposed to defile this temple
have you no shame?
judging from the height of his plane
are you insane?
not broaching on his name
what is there to gain from
not flowing on with the rest of the crowd?
take caution for what you’re investing now
we know how this bit usually turns out
the more you gain
the more you frown
can’t get no lift if you hold you down
won’t throne no king if you hold no crown
no key, no city, no town
so what goes around must come back
and what comes up always comes flat
[chorus: charlie chaplin]
in the 17th chapter of st. luke it is written
the kingdom of god is within man
not one man nor a group of men
but in all men!
in you! you, the people have the power
the power to create machines
the power to create happiness
you, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful
to make this life a wonderful adventure
then in the name of democracy
let us use that power!
let us all unite!
let us fight for a new world
a decent world
that will give men a chance to work
that will give youth a future and old age a security
by the promise of these things
brutes have risen to power
but they lie
they do not fulfill that promise
they never will!
dictators free themselves
but they enslave the people!
now let us fight to fulfill that promise!
let us fight to free the world!
to do away with national barriers
to do away with greed
with hate and intolerance
let us fight for a world of reason
[verse 2: joey the bull]
i’m still swatting at these plane’s
holding on to things i know i can’t control
i’ve got lost in my goals
for switching lanes i paid some tolls
and it’s been hard to relax
up p-ss 24 just to crash for a nap
tried playing the game
but my attention collapsed
is it really this hard just to jot my scratch?
not being funny but i’m way off track
no pun intended
i feel rear ended
all jokes aside
it’s in my eyes
mind’s been the bitter taste of tuna surprise
tryna poof suicide and just survive
in moments i come together
just divide
my peace has been denied
[chorus: charlie chaplin]
greed has poisoned men’s souls
has barricaded the world with hate
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
we have developed speed
but we have shut ourselves in
machinery that gives abundance
has left us in want
our knowledge has made us cynical
our cleverness
hard and unkind
we think too much
and feel too little
more than machinery
we need humanity
more than cleverness
we need kindness and gentleness
without these qualities
life will be violent
and all will be lost
the aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together
the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men
cries out for universal brotherhood
for the unity of us all
even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
millions of despairing men, women, and little children
victims of a system that makes men torture
and imprison innocent people
to those who can hear me i say
do not despair
the misery that is now upon us is but the p-ssing of greed
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
the hate of men will p-ss
and dictators die
and the power they took from the people
will return to the people
and so long as men die
liberty will never perish
[outro: joey the bull]
a strong, hard, magnetic, silvery-gray metal
the chemical element of atomic number 26
much used as a material for construction
and manufacturing
especially in a form of steel
a tool or impalement
now or originally made of iron
this is the project
