Cowboy Like Me And
here she comes, in her usual red suite, Looking
all attractive in the midnight every night. Cowboys
and the bourgeoisie all around… They
all come to the club dancing the night away. She
looked all too busy, with her gin and lime, Puffing
out her cigarette in the neon light this night. All
the blokes and blondes sitting around… All
she had in mind… getting some money off you… CHORUS: She
said she wasn’t checking out with a cowboy like me. Because
I got no money like the bourgeoisie down town… But I know I’m gonna make it one of these days. She
said she doesn’t fall in love with a dreamer like
you. Because
you build your castle in the air always… But she knows she
gonna get what she wants. Interlude And
here she comes, in her usual red suite, Looking
all attractive in the midnight every night. Cowboys
and the bourgeoisie all around… They
all come to the club dancing the night away. She
looked all too busy, with her gin and lime, Puffing
out the cigarette in the neon light this night. All
the blokes and blondes sitting around… All
she had in mind… getting some money off you… REPEAT
CHORUS REFRAIN: Jesus
Christ is my Savior. Christ lives in me. I
gotta go elsewhere Jesus
lives I’m a cowboy for my Lord. Jesus
lives in me. And Christ is my Savior I
gotta go somewhere where I
belong I’m a cowboy for my Lord. REPEAT

When I Was Young When
I was young, my daddy said, “Son…, You
can be what you wanna be.” I
didn’t know what he meant. ‘Cos
I didn’t want to be anything. Time
came, and I realized, that I want to be somebody. So
I decided to take it on, Now
I’m on my way, and I’m going for it. ‘Cos
I wanna be a dynamite. Blow
your mind. To
the top………. Daddy
said it, and here I am. No
one tells me where I am today. But
you know….., The
more you get is the more you want! What
you got, it don’t matter no more! Interlude REPEAT

Hypocrite He

her to give him two boys and a girl. He
had a lot of girls all around town. He
even told his wife he met a lady doctor. CHORUS: Com’
on, hypocrite!
You cannot change in life. You
married another wife. But she’s gone away. You

Decency Looking
with insight, colorations, beautifulness of the
world. Looking
our people, Walking up and down, Trying their hand (on) everything. I’ve
been sitting here, Weighing all my dreams, Sitting
at sixties, and waiting for an answer. Two
wrongs can’t be right, And that’s time…, time…,
time… The
world could be better, better, yeah! REFRAIN: There’s nothing like
decency. There’s nothing like justification. Destination
time we don’t know. When we can say, the world would
end. INTERLUDE: Nomads
and herdsmen, Trekking down the south, Moving
their mobile ranch everywhere. Farmers
are struggling, Losing all their crops, Wondering
when this problem would end. I’ve
been sitting here, Weighing all my dreams, Sitting
at sixties, and waiting for an answer. Those
who got to talk, Don’t wanna say anything, And those who
have the money don’t want to give out. REFRAIN: There’s nothing like
decency. There’s nothing like justification. Destination
time we don’t know. When we can say, Jesus would
come INTERLUDE: Where
is the balance? Where are open hands? Where is the equity we all need? Where
is the good thing the land has for us? How can you see the wrong things? How
can we stop this? ‘Cos there’s no equal right, Our
children are growing without a future. How
can we stop of this, ‘Cos there’s no equal right, The
ones who stole our money are going free. REFRAIN: There’s nothing like
decency. There’s nothing like justification. Destination
time we don’t know. When we can say, Jesus would
come. There’s nothing like
decency. There’s nothing like justification. Destination
time we don’t know. When we can say, Jesus would
come. There’s nothing like
decency. There’s nothing like justification. Destination
time we don’t know. When we can say, the world would
end. |

Don’t Guess My Mind What
can you say when you take a look on my face, into my
eyes, when I am blue. You
want to guess what’s wrong with me, but you can’t
get it. Don’t
you try it, ‘cos you can’t get it. CHORUS: No!
You can never guess my mind. And I can never
guess your mind. No!
You can never guess my mind. And I can never
guess your mind. No!
You can never guess my mind. And I can never
guess your mind. ‘Cos

it wrong. And
