Bystander

There's violence in this silence
There's harm in staying quiet
Bystander, don't you understand?
There's harm in staying silent
You staying quiet allowed this thing to happen
Although you thought it was wrong
You, you did nothing
Except you tried not to think too much about it
Avert your eyes and keep going
It's your motive and your alibi
You're hoping if you look away
This thing will just go away
But in reality, you're helping in happen
The worst excesses of human kind
Are kept in check by people who really don't mind
As long as they get home from work on time
Bystander, don't you understand?
Bystander, don't say nothing
Bystander, don't you understand?
Bystander, don't do nothing

Be your own best friend

You know you can be your own worst enemy
It's true, it's true
But if you have an ear to lend
you can also be your own best friend
It's not an easy thing to do
To tell this enemy you're through
That you won't listen to the poisoned words
That they spit at you
Be your own best friend
Be your own best friend
It's a choice you have
To be your own best friend
Tell that voice to go to hell
Don't let it drive you round the bend
It never served you anything
that didn't have a nasty smell
If you were to talk to yourself out loud
some folks might find it strange
Be sure to let them know
you're talking to a friend
Be your own best friend
Be your own best friend
Someone on who you can depend
You'll be there for yourself
Until the end ...
The End

The factory owners wanted you to give your life to them
The factory owners wanted everything of you
Ooh, Saint Lubbock's Day
Saint Lubbock's Day
The factory was forced to close on this special day
The people had a day to live on Saint Lubbock's Day
Ooh, Saint Lubbock's Day
Saint Lubbock's Day
The air smelled sweet
The sky was blue
On this special day
The sun shone bright
The breeze was cool
On Saint Lubbock's Day
Ooh, Saint Lubbock's Day
Saint Lubbock's Day
The sea was cold
And life felt good
On Saint Lubbock's Day
Ooh, Saint Lubbock's Day
Saint Lubbock's Day
The factory owners wanted you to give your life to them
The factory owners wanted everything of you

Maybe never & not today

Keep on going
As you were
Keep on doing what you were before
The earth is dying?
It's OK
Just keep on buying all the things you like
Just keep on working hard
For you & your family
You can't afford to look outside
You may see something
That'll stop you for a while
To make you think
"What if there is another way?"
You need to believe
that it's OK to keep going
To keep on doing what you always have
You cannot think about another way
Maybe never & not today
Maybe never & not today
Maybe never

Just passing through

We're just passing through
We're all just passing through
No matter what you do
You're just passing through
Regardless of who you are
You're just passing through
We don't have long
Before we move along
Just enough time
For a few songs
Then we'll all be gone
Tread carefully
Whatever you do
You're just passing though
You can't take it with you
You're just passing through
