Something Other Than Goodbye - The Jeremy Jackson Band

Ten feet tall behind your wall Telling yourself that you're not small Roll yourself into a tight ball You can't be lost if you've gone AWOL You've never had one question So comfortable living life so certain Let me tell you about this then No one really knows the truth No, not you There are monsters in the sky There are demons in the sea I have seen them with my eyes I've seen what you won't see Pull the wool out from your eyes It won't shade your frail belief In the end we cannot hide There are other worlds than these Closed up minds are hearty seeds So plant yourself a gallows tree Bury your head so you won't see The truth you hide is the truth you seek Feed it fiction and lies Oh, how it grows The roots are all shallow Hide yourself up inside And on it goes Reaping from the cell you sow There are monsters in the sky There are demons in the sea I have seen them with my eyes I've seen what you won't see Pull the wool out from your eyes It won't shade your frail belief In the end we cannot hide There are other worlds than these Is it all an oddity? Are we flakes of empty dust Spinning on a ball of rust? Maybe But the light is ours to see You had eyes, but sowed them shut But that feeling in your gut won't fade Is it all a tragedy? Are we flashes in a rut Going in and out of luck? Maybe But the answers will not change Even when they're covered up All these questions in your gut Won't fade And there are monsters in the sky There are demons in the sea I have seen them with my eyes I've seen what you won't see Pull the wool out from your eyes It won't change your frail belief In the end we cannot hide There are other worlds than Worlds than these

I was down in Nashville just payin' my dues Headed for Ohio when I read the news 'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President's views Four were shot down by the National Guard troops Just like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoes School shot down cause there's no more to lose Now we're headed to D.C. two by twos Cause those low down, profound, killin' four blues Lookin' for my Congressman to make it well known But the politicians already won't answer his telephone Making in his office while they're shooting kids down at home Worried about the voters but he won't be worried long Silent majority still glued to the tube Say CIA ain't lookin', FBI come unglued Shot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can do While we're marching to D.C. cause there's too much to do Give peace a chance Give peace a chance There's no turnin' back my friend There's no turnin' back When the President said that the tear gas is gone The army's pulled out leavin' blood on the ground The streets are empty and the crying's died down You can be President if no one's around Just like Kow Kow, you've heard it before Get back gangster, don't you open that door Space Cowboy's back to tell you the score Nothing any good is gonna come from a war Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues Give peace a chance Give peace a chance Give peace a chance
