---Mental Jewelry1991From the mouth of a baby
Will come the world saving words
That will save us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty
And not carrying on despite of me
Don't you know, this ain't about no race, no creed
No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that you see
And if I don't know who to love I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill no suicide
I'm already dead
Tired Of "Me"

Intro (4x) Under 1st verse (4x)
You say "hold on to the reigns"
I say "let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "groundless and free"

Tired of me
Bm Em
Used steel
Bm Em
Used steel am I
Bm Em
What was pliable in love
Bm Em
Is now hard and crystalized
Bm Em
The intellect is fine
Bm Em
For counting money and recording times
Bm Em Bm F#
That she cried "groundless and free"
Tired of the water...

I know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out and think about
Think about living
But I can't seem to rescue myself (2x)
C#m
What about my bank account?
A B E
And my holy desert shield
G# A
That keeps me dry under the arms
B E
Flags and mental jewelry's all I know
G# F#
And they keep me happy and warm inside
So I said unto this man who are you
And where do you come from
And he proceeded to tell me many things
But I said nothing at all
For the flower in the corner by the room
In the window and the sun
Said it all
But what about...
A (arpeggiate chords here)
At least they said they would
G#
Said they could
A
Mama said they would
G# A
Do me good
I know that I should...

C#m A B
C#m A
What do you say to the child
C#m A
Whose god is in the TV
C#m A
And what do you say to the man
C#m A
Who blames the world on TV
C#m A C#m A
They don't even know how to sing my song
C#m A C#m A
But they won't even try it with me
F#m G#
Who is standing over playing like the teacher
F#m
Harnessing the learned
G#
Who try but can't leave her
F#m
I want to beg the liars
G#
To lay down their sirens
F#m
That play like the angels
G#
To my deep desire
C#m
Free my son
F#m
Let him walk right through the rain
C#m
Free my son
F#m
Make him waterboy
C#m
Free my son
F#m
There he stands down on the shore
A B
Free my son
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father
Come and see my heart
Come inside and learn
Come and see my soul, it's like yours
I say it's just like yours
Who is making over
Idolizing princes
Banishing the dreamers
With barbed wire fences
And telling all the children who run to her feet
That they have no vision and love's all diseased
Free my son

He said, he said, he said
There was nothing to fear boy
He said, he said, he said
Worthless are your tears boy
Just realize your senses
And realize your earth
Just realize your essence first
Am G Am
I'll never be the same again
Am G Am
I want to walk in the sun
Am G Am
I am alive and well again
F
No more bitterweet

So many of us stand in the middle
Am C
Looking back to the worst
D C
Looking forward to the fall
Am C D C
Making weapons of peace for the defense
Am C D C
Of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks
You say the buildings are too tall
They're going to fry your brother
Well I say you'd better walk away
And find your mother
F
No more bitterweet
No more good pain
If I can't sing this song
And tell you all about it
Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away
Don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full
And the day is way too young
You'd better sip today before it's gone
No more bitterweet
No more good pain
Am
No more good pain
G
No more good pain
D
No more good pain good pain
Mother Earth Is a Vicious Crowd
-------------------------------
]: F#m E/F#m :[
Pollution, Cain, and misery
E
Oceans of golden mystery
]: F#m E/F#m :[
Armies boisterous and armies loud
E
Portraits of a vicious crowd
D A E
Talk to me, talk to me now
D A E
Hey man you're all that I have
Me, Myself, Myself and I
Were born to work and born to die
I have chosen my anthems of these I am proud
Portraits of a divided crowd
Talk to me now...
Could you leave it behind...
D A E
Leave it all behind...
10,000 Years (Peace is Now)
---------------------------
A C
The world is burning down
D A C D
Can't you smell the smoke in the air
A C D A C D
War, disease and famine this demon she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we got 10,000 years devoted
To nothing but tomorrow and yesterday
F
If all of the ignorance in the world
A
Passed a second ago
C D A
What would you say?
C D A
Who would you obey?
C
I am here to say that
A C D
Peace is now
Mr. President I hereby pardon you for your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and seperation have led me to believe
That the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
