Tomorrow you'll be on your way
Could be Memphis or L.A.
No questions, just get out and play

Wake up call to catch the plane
You know you're on the road again
Someone's bangin' in your head
Why did you get so late to bed?

Runnin' late and feelin' bad
That breakfast was the worst you've had
Make the gate no time to spare
Before you know you're in the air

747 flies us high
Much higher than we're meant to be
You're six miles high but feelin' down
You wish you could be on the ground

Find your bags and walk for miles
Customs man is waiting there
Immigration cause delay
You wonder if you'll ever play

Limousine is standing by
We get inside and drive a while
FM station soundin' good
And gettin' better every mile

Hotel lobby looks the same
With all the same old girls in town
Press reception takes the day
With all the same old things to say
"Need your picture, smile this way,
And will you tell me what you play?"

So you wanna be a rock and roll star
Just listen now to what i say
Get yourself an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play....

Your roadies call to say OK
The sound check can get underway
Sound check over, had some fun
A waste of time for everyone

Time has come to start the show
It's boogie time for everyone
Check guitars before you go
CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ROCK AND ROLLAH!

The lights are low, the crowd is high
Much higher than their meant to be
We take the stage and start to play
The lights come up for all to see...

Here's a little fistful of heavy metal food for thought....


Mankind
The public enemy's not the man who speaks his mind
The public enemy's the man that goes and acts blind
Searching for an answer that he'll never find
An action from reaction and you can't make a retraction
Once you've put your head out
And then you're blue in the face
As you try to state your case
You can think with your d**k, but it can't shout

Yo, I try to understand what the hell is going on
I can't imagine how things ever got so far gone
You separatists, say you want your own state
I'll give them a state - a state of unconsciousness

Retribution, no solution, constitution
Discrimination, through the nation, raining hatred
I yell, when there's schism you must rebel
I yell, SO YOU'LL HEAR
I yell, I refuse to live in your hell
I am what you fear

I'm the truth, I don't keep it in the family
Live your life, take someone else
Keep it in the family
The real world's outsise your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall
Keep it in the, keep it in the, keep it in the family

Don't even try to tell me what you think is right
When to you blacks are n****rs, and Jews are kikes
And you expect to be taken seriously
But your actions, they're more than curiously
Juvenile
You emulate what you hate
And you don't even know why you feel this way
'Cause daddy hated this, and mommy hated that
And your own ability to reason's like a tire gone flat

Yo, I try to understand what the hell is going on
I can't imagine how things ever got so far gone
You separatists, say you want your own state
I'll give them a state - a state of unconsciousness

Retribution, no solution, constitution
Discrimination, through the nation, raining hatred
I yell, when there's schism you must rebel
I yell, SO YOU'LL HEAR
I yell, I refuse to live in your hell
I am what you fear

I'm the truth, I don't keep it in the family
Live your life, take someone else
Keep it in the family
The real world's outside your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall
When you keep it in the family....

Acting out of pure cold hatred
'Cause of what another's race is
Color of another's face is
Different and your own frustrations
Taking on a violent nature
Full of hate, so full of hate
You'd kill a man, is that your fate
Your street becomes a police state
WHY THE HELL DO YOU HATE?!

I'm not gonna stand for it
Someone's gonna pay for it
I yell, we rebel
We're the truth and we won't keep it in the family
Live your life, take someone else
Keep it in the family
The real world's outside your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall
Keep it in the family

I'm the thing that you most fear
I don't keep it in the family
I'm the truth you won't hear
Keep it in the family
The real world's outside your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall
Keep it in the family

I like music, it makes me feel so good
And all of my children are gonna like it like they should
Some don't like it, yes it's true
They can't do what they wanna do.....

Check this one out sometime, Jen, and you will really see what an old hippy rock and roller I am. :-p I wrote what I feel is a pretty cool poem about the evolution of heavy metal on the first post of page 3 on my Buddy Holly blog, and these groovy cats are mentioned in the first verse. This stuff goes back to before metal even really got started.

Thanks for sharing! I got to your Buddy Holly blog quite late. It's incredible how it's grown!

Numb by Linkin Park :

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take!
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be"

Within just a couple of little decades, we go from groovy and psychedelic to....

Raging fury
Wired for sound
Nitro bombshell
Shakes the ground

High and mighty
Rips the air
Piercing laser
Burning glare

Out of control
About to explode
It's comin' at ya

Here comes the metal meltdown
Run for your lives :-(
Can't stop the metal meltdown
No one survives :-(

It's easy to take everyday things for granted, isn't it? Like having shelter for example. Something every human being deserves to have at the very least. A lot of people give their money to politicians and lobbyists. That's all fine and having the freedom to do so is part of what makes America a great nation, but there are those who need our money a lot more.


Close your eyes to the horror
Close your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name

Living in the street
Moms and kids with nothing to eat
Welfare hotels
Who says there's no place called hell?

I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

There but for the grace of God
There but for the grace of God
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of God
There but for the grace of God

Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me

Invisible could be my name
Your excuses are so lame
Real pleas fall on deaf ears
Look away when I'm near

Freezing cold in winters heat
Burning up can be a treat
Blisters breaking on my feet
At least I get a subway seat

I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

Self help and preservation
Not now, I'm on vacation
Priority is you
And screw all those around you

Now's the time for you to share
Indifference you have to care
Deep inside you know it's true
How do I get through to you?

Open your eyes to the horror
Open your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name


Who Cares Wins - Anthrax

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days countin'
In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon....


Levon - Sir Elton John

Maybe no tomorrow, I live my life today
Luck is my religion, to the lady I will pray
I fear to see the black in every tinsel town
They can try and take my pride
But they can never take my crown...…

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He's returned to kill the light

Then when he's found what he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
HA HA HA HAAA!! :-)

Planet's devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A savior comes from out of the skies
In answer to their pleas

Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts of steel
Evil's going under deadly wheels...

In the heart of holy see
In the home of Christianity
The seat of power is in danger

There's a foe of a thousand swords
They've been abandoned by their lords
Their fall from grace will pave their paths to damnation

Then the 189
In the service of Heaven
They're protecting the holy line
It was 1527
Gave their lives on the steps to Heaven
Thy will be done!

For the grace, for the might of our Lord
For the home of the holy
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Gave their lives so boldly

For the grace, for the might of our Lord
In the name of His glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story again

Dying for salvation with dedication
No capitulation, annihilation
Papal commendation, reincarnation
Heaven is your destination

In the name of God

For the grace, for the might of our Lord
In the name of His glory
For the faith, for the way of the sword
Come and tell their story
Gave their lives so boldly
Come and tell the Swiss Guards' story again


The Last Stand - Sabaton



Just now discovering this and I am seriously pumped, man! Bring it on, devil boys. Got somethin' for ya! :-)

Believe it or not...…


You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again...…


Silly Love Songs - Wings


What do you think about that, Jo? Can you believe a metalhead like me would actually like a song like that? :-p

Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread

Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go.....

I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I've had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys

I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed
I know if I wake her
I'll wake up...….dead!! :-(

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
I need a friend...…
