THE JUNTA Once, a very long time ago You truly understood our woes Your youthful energy burned bright Promising to deliver us from limbo Indeed, a welcome beacon in the dark Maybe it was the lesser evil For surely, the corrupt regime had to go In crises like those, sacrifices had to be made So we dutifully turned our backs And let the blood flow For a while, you were the ideal leader Our dear and beloved liberator The butchery forgotten, tranquility returned Success for all was certain The fruits of democracy as we know it It was all too good to be true Murmurs of discontent flared Pertinent questions arose, zero answers came forth The leader had lost sight of the noble goal Democracy was a mere mirage Injustice of all forms is meted out generously ****** and gore freely roam the streets Empty pockets stare at us mockingly Tears stain our cheeks We call to the government in vain So here we stand once again Swearing that the correct regime must go More than ready to sacrifice But the blood.Oh God!the blood Let blood not flow...

My life's too dreary Why did I boast? Now I'm paying the cost Oh! I'm so weary Been on too many journeys Carrying heavy loads On life's numerous roads Too weak to survive life's tourneys They told me home is best There I can find the cure Then maybe,I'll become pure When the beast in me finds rest That's why I'm here on my knee With tears in my eye Sorry 'bout you and I I'm still just trying to find me.

THE REASON I'M HERE

My life's too dreary Why did I boast? Now I'm paying the cost Oh! I'm so weary Been on too many journeys Carrying heavy loads On life's numerous roads Too weak to survive life's tourneys They told me home is best There I can find the cure Then maybe,I'll become pure When the beast in me finds rest That's why I'm here on my knee With tears in my eye Sorry 'bout you and I I'm still just trying to find me.

I dreamt that we were really free Like the soaring birds in the air We went standing under the mango tree And finally life was fair I dreamt that we freely showed our love We touched and kissed in the gardens The birds peacefully sang from above And we didn't share the world's burdens I only wish dreams came true We'd have a life where only happiness flows The sky would always be blue And we'd never have to face life's blows But they'll only ever be dreams We've got to learn to live with guilt Cause our forbidden passion is full to the brims And we'll wonder why the world is so unfairly built PRETA PEACE NAMASABA [email protected]

Life offers no honey When you have no money There isn't time to be jolly When everything is phony Life is bent When you live without a cent Always worrying about rent When everyday is lent Life is long When you just can't belong Can't listen to no sweet song Cause they're all kinda wrong Life is no gain When everyday it rains You can never be main Just can't watch to be lain_dead.
