Now there’s a charge on what we used to get for free
In my home town.
In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps his eye on us all
And he used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord, I recall my little town
There’s an evenin’ haze settlin’ over the town
Starlight by the edge of the creek
The buyin’ power of the proletariat’s gone down
Money’s gettin’ shallow and weak
Money don’t matter 2 night
It sure didn’t matter yesterday
Just when u think u’ve got more than enough
That’s when it all up and flies away
That’s when u find out that u’re better off
Makin’ sure your soul’s alright
Cuz money didn’t matter yesterday,
And it sure don’t matter 2 night
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you’re O.K.
Money, it’s a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I’ll buy me a football team
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I’d buy you a green dress
But not a real green dress that’s cruel
If I had a million dollars or ten
I’d give to you, world, and then
You’d go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar town
Give me love, give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light, give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope, help me cope
With this heavy load
Trying to touch and reach you with
Heart and soul
Bring me sunshine
In your smile
Bring me laughter
All the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
So much joy you can give
To each brand new bright tomorrow
I’d like to build a world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother’s tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister’s sighing in her sleep
Brother’s got a date to keep
He can’t hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
An exile from home, spendor dazzles in vain,
Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again;
The birds singing gaily, that come at my call;
Give me them, with that peace of mind, dearer than all.
I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
'Cause I’m on the edge of darkness
There ride the Peace Train
Oh, Peace Train take this country
Come take me home again
There’ll be trains of blossoms (there’ll be trains of blossoms)
There’ll be trains of music (there’ll be music)
There’ll be trains of trust, trains of golden dust
Come along and surry on sweet trains of thought
Surry on down
The next stop that we make will be England
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China too
Don’t you know that it’s time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
Love wont hurt anymore
Its an open smile on a friendly shore
Its love…
Its love…
Its love…
Its the Love Boat
Its the Love Boat
On The Good Ship Lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay
Good sense, innocence, cripplin’ mankind
Dead kings, many things I can’t define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
