The Two-Headed Monster, 1972

You try to be religious,
 but you're the greatest sinner who ever lived,
You work for peace,
 but your heart is filled with hate,
You put on a show for all to see,
 but inside your show has been cancelled.

You are a saint and a sinner,
You are good and bad,
You are the best writer since Edgar Allan Poe,
You are the best singer since Frank Sinatra,
You are the best liar since the beginning of time,
Your only real truth was the best dramatist in college,
You are an actor, a fake, and a two-headed monster,
And your disease is fatal.

Love is Lost

Not so very long ago--
There was a little man,
He tried to get all he could--
Until there was no more.

One day he realized there was something else,
Something more important than all others,
He didn't have love,
And love didn't have him.

He tried and tried to get it,
He searched far and near,
There was none to be found--
So he cried and cried.

One day, he saw what he had dreamed for,
He saw love,
But love didn't see him,
So he strived for his love.

He did things for his love,
He said things to his love,
He cried out to his love,
But his love didn't hear him.

He didn't know what to do,
He tried his best to show his love,
He just couldn't succeed,
So he died.

Now, his love has heard him,
She knows about his suffering,
She saw what happened to him,
She was so sorry,
But he had lost.

Together

Although they're hardships and strife,
Nice things still exist in life,
Dandelions, tall trees, blue sky,
Every bird flying high,
Rain from heavy clouds of blue,
Sun shining as if to say, "I love you",
Overpowering the rain,
Now, nice things exist again.

Catching the love of a girl,
Only seeing the beautiful things,
Lying on the greenest grass,
Looking up at the bluest sky,
Ever saying to her, "I love you",
Giving all that you have to give,
Elated with her love.

The World, 1972

We are living in a world--
 with crowded highways and polluted skies.

People are living in 70-story apartment houses,
 and the world keeps spinning around.

Birds have no place to go,
 they have one tree to themselves.

We are killing our brothers without cause,
 and we take it for granted that they're dead.

Where are we going to?
Are we destroying ourselves?
We've got no hope unless--
We get something done.

We are living in a world--
 with poverty all around us.

Why do we have no help--
 to live-to live-to live for life?

Live for Tomorrow

Though there are many troubled days
With many troubled ways,
You have to see that you must live,
And give,
To your understanding--
The future, not the present or the past,
You will last longer that way.

Through hardships and doubts,
If you're tossed about,
You don't have to fear,
If this phrase is near--
Live for tomorrow, not today,
In that way,
You are looking forward to something
That is not today--so believe it.

You are alive,
You can survive,
But most of all you must be
With the one that you can see--
You will be with for the future.

So live, live, LIVE for tomorrow,
And maybe you will be able to
Stand it a while longer.

Mr. Sun, 1971

Hey Mr. Sun,
You brighten up my day,
Hey Mr. Sun,
You send me on my way,
I don't seem to know your purpose in life,
But I do know that you end all strife,
Hey Mr. Sun,
We love you.

Hey Mr. Sun,
You're our guiding light,
Hey Mr. Sun,
We miss you when you're away at night,
If you say you'll go away,
Then we hope you'll brighten up today,
Hey Mr. Sun,
We love you.

Hey Mr. Sun,
We cannot find our way,
Hey Mr. Sun,
I don't know what to say,
Please come out now or we will cry,
So don't stop shining, no don't you try,
Hey Mr. Sun,
We love you.

The Inferno Day

We are living in an age of constant change,
Although we used to sing "Home on the Range",
Now we see our polluted skies,
Where planes and sparrows fly,
And water and land is polluted, too.
What ever happened to sky of blue?
Everywhere you look there is war,
Protesters say, "What are we fighting for"?
So if you see what people say,
Then you can call this the inferno day.

The inferno day is all the time,
It is never sublime,
The days come and go,
But the inferno day takes everyone in tow,
It takes you up and puts you down,
It shows you're wrong and flips you around,
And if you think that your problems won't last,
Then you've got a real blast,
So if you want to get something done,
Maybe the inferno day will be number one.
