Can't Take God Away |
You can take God out of my school
you can make me listen to you
You can take God out of the pledge
but you can't take God out of my head
Listen to me closely, lend me your ear
the substance of my statemnet lets you know I'm sincere
Government officials, shapers of the land
I've to to tell you something you need to understand
CHORUS
You can't take God away from me
you can take my life, my land, my liberty
Lock me up, I'll still be free
'cause you can't take God from me
You can take God out of the law
you can make me listen to ya'll
You can take God out of the start
but you can't take God out of my heart
Listen to me closely, lend me your ear
the substance of my statemnet lets you know I'm sincere
Government officials, shapers of the land
I've to to tell you something you need to understand
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
You can't take God, you can't take God away
You can't take God, you can't take God away
You can't take God, you can't take God away
You can't take God, you can't take God away
REPEAT CHORUS
A.K.A. Public School |
Counting the days to get away
to pack your bags up on a plane
But see Bob run yeah! See Bob play
why not talk to Bob today
If you wanna save the lost
you don't have to travel South
You don't have to pay the cost
just run your mouth
PRE-CHORUS
School is the place to be
when you're young and fancy free
'Cause you got what? Mmm half a day
to give your life away
In Uncle Sam's soul salvation program
government funded paid in full
A.K.A. your public school
They pay to put you in the classes
it's your chance to reach the masses
CHORUS
This ain't no trip to a foreign land
this ain't no trip to a foreign land
but you can take a stand
in your Public school
This may Mexico, Columbia or France
you want to go to Africa well now you got a chance
Talk to your friends before the fun ends
you can take 'em by surprise when you open their eyes
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
CHORUS OUT
This ain't no trip
This ain't no trip
This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
No passport of any sort this ain't no trip
This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
This ain't no trip to a foreign land.
It's your own school home town its where you should be livin'
This ain't no trip
This ain't no trip
It's your own school home town its where you should be givin'
This ain't no trip to a foreign land.

My World View |
Big House |
Jesus & The California Kid |
CHORUS
Jesus and the California Kid
oh what Jesus did, for the California kid
There's a school kid on the coastline
who's the textbook case of cool
He's out of sight he surfs alright
and he ain't nobody's fool
He's got a face that fits on GQ
and a natural taste in style
And everybody likes him
with that million dollar smile
Well you might think he parties
and gets and girl he want
And he hangs out with the wicked
but he needs no silly stunts
He got a different kind of attitude
that most cool dudes don't have
He's got a personal life with Jesus
and he walks on the narrow path
CHORUS
One time God became a man
and He walked upon the earth
He didn't have a cool car
and I don't think he liked to surf
But he mst of had something in common
to do what He did
'Cause He died for you and I
and He died for the California Kid
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't Censor Me |
Pop bang boom pow
kill somebody and you take a bow
Naughty (words), naughty (words)
mouth full of potty (words)
You stretch and you flex
and you swin your S.E.X.
I try to talk about G.O.D.
why you wanna censor me?
PRE-CHORUS
I'm the salt of the earth
the city on a hill
My light's twice as bright
I'm gonna show you something real
CHORUS
So Don't (don't), don't (don't), don't (don't)
Don't censor me
We scream we shout
we just wanna let it out
No fuss and no cuss
you still try to censor us
Only one word shakes the earth
only one word holds the worth
One word G.O.D.
why you wanna censor me?
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Don't censor me
You can't shut me up!
So don't even try!
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
Let Love |
We're A Band |
Freak!
is what the world calls me
They don't understand
so they try to stop me
Hide!
I can't hide
so I stand up straight with Christ by my side
No no no no need to be tounge tied
so I say it loud and I say it with pride
Died
he died
Christ gave it all but He's coming back to life
Now I've got a reason to saying the things I say
and you know I've got a reason to be doing the things I do
Because soon very soon
God's coming back and I want to be playing His tune
So, here we go
CHORUS
We're a band
We're a band
With guitars in our hands
we're crossing the land
We're a band
We're a band
For the Son of man
we will take a stand
You can make a plan
He'll be back again
We're a band
We're a band
We're a band
We're a band
Hey!
Please remove your hand from my mouth
it's been long enough so please do it now
uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh
you know you can't censor me
When wall flowers start to bloom
four more voices fill the room
Say, you better get out of the way
Rest Easy |
One more mile 'til I lay rest
I have put myself through this rigid test
But the mile has never ended no distance has been gained
I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain
Where is my embrace from the race that I have run?
I have kept a steady pace but still I have not won
CHORUS
Rest easy
have no fear
I love you perfectly
love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
you take My grace
Rest easy
in My embrace
I am such a sinner I fear my evil ways
I fear my imperfection I fear my final days
I just want to take control and snap this rusty chain
drop my heavy burden it seems to be in vain
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
I am not a bold man even though I want to be
I am just a dreamer with a timid history
Scared of confrontations I fume all through the night
the world has it's hold on me and I just want to fly
The sky, the sky is open wide
but I can't fly 'til I step aside
CHORUS II
Rest easy
have no fear
I love you perfectly
and perfect love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
you take My grace
Rest easy
in My embrace
Rest easy, rest easy
rest easy, in My embrace
Rest easy
Scum Sweetheart |
We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part
me and the world my scum sweetheart
We met long ago with a flirt and a stare
together ever since a lethal love affair
I tried to get out to get up and go
I was afraid of the fall the vertigo
You made me suffer guilt was your game
you had control of what I became
A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die
t'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye
Now I'm free on solid ground
no more of you pushing me around me around
CHORUS
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world you broke my heart
You're my scum sweetheart
You're the world you broke my heart
You're the world full of lies
how could I think of compromise?
It seems to me a solitaire affair
I was in need but you didn't care
Please stay away heartbreaker
you're not gonna be my soul taker
I've got friends that want to see you
they'd stay away if they had a clue
REPEAT CHORUS
It's a black heart that I see
it's evil it'sbad and all in between
Whatever it is I'll do my part
to keep you from being their scum sweetheart
REPEAT CHORUS
