Cowboys and Indians
You're an Indian
And I'm a cowboy
You're an Indian
And I'm a cowboy
You're an Indian
And I'm a cowboy
I can be your friend
I can destroy
...
Cheekbone Diamonds
All the beautiful women
Pass them out for free
They always have enough for themselves.
All the beautiful men,
It's their responsibility
To give them to someone else
...
The Remaining Sting
Maybe it'll be the next one
That will wash out
The remaining sting.
I wait...
...
My Car Has Broken Fingers
My broken fingers
In this lovely wreck
Can't touch your hand
...
Hero
I wasn’t the hero she’d been waiting for all her life.
The king she waited on to save her
His horse died.
His sword was dull.
His armor rusted stiff.
He moved far away
...
I Have No Name
I have no name,
None with a meaning.
A bastard by choice.
An orphan by leaving.
...
Cowboys and Indians
You’re an Indian
And I’m a cowboy.
You’re an Indian
And I’m a cowboy
...
Racism
It looks like DNA:
Complicated,
And many twists and turns.
...
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
The Revolution will not be televised!
The Revolution will not be televised!
The Revolution will not be televised!
Well,…
...
What It Means to be King
The king is beautiful.
The king is perfect.
The king is the kingdom’s father.
The king is the kingdom.
The king is never wrong,
...
No Place Like Home
Most of my life can be marked
By periods of isolation
Where the only person capable of understand me
Was me.
And that didn’t always work either.
