Dark Roads - Public Property

When the night is cold

And your heart is too

Carry me in your head

Warm memories cover you like a blanket

So many people, so little time, but we keep on marching on through this life

Need a strong vessel to ride out the storm, when lighting it strikes count for

thunder to roll

Don’t count on no one to carry your luggage, in this life some hate and others

are lovers

But that don’t count when your train leaves the station, don’t hesitate to take

a bad thing and leave it

I will live my life just how I want to

I won’t hurt no one, let my words be my guide and

If I fall don’t worry, I’ll pick myself up

Worry 'bout you before you worry 'bout me, make sure you’re free in your head

before you call someone up

A man could walk down dark roads, never to return

A woman could walk down the same path, but is she tries, if she tries

She could find her way back again

Every Day

Sittin at the bar have yourself a ball and don’t give a thought at all

To those that have gone, gone before their time, never to return back in line

Oh there goes another one, a hundred dead, a thousand gone, and you could be

the next one my friend

Lookin at your end, starin down the barrel of a gun at a bullet

Every day I read about these people who die — murderers

Every day and it’s always before their time — killin us

Every day — keep your head up

Every day I read about these people who die

They got fire, power, take you down and under-

cover police, making raids and holding

free men hostage is not what I meant when I said

I pledge allegiance to country, god, and freedom

Every day I read about these people who kill — murderers

Every day and they put a new spin on their wheel — killin us

Every day — keep your head up

Every day I read about these people who kill

(2 nd verse)

Higher

Higher, lower, brimstone, yeah yeah yeah

Higher, lower, brimstone, yeah yeah yeah

Higher’s where I flow, lower I don’t go

Brimstone is just a joke they made to make you afraid of love

So they say that God is gonna save

God is good and he’s so true so there no need to question it

Then I see the people hunt for blood

If God so good and he the one then how come you’re not spreading love

Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love

So, so they say their god is the only one

No, no one knows what follows, so let’s come together

Now what they said, what they said was:

Since my youth, they claim to teach the truth

That God is good and God is love and listen kid he speaks through us

Then the preacher not reapin what he sowed

He never died and seen the light then how could he know

Know, know, know, know

Know, know, know

Heard, heard them say God is great, so don’t you bother now

Take, take your faith, but don’t you say it’s the only way

Now what they said, what they said was:
