What's the next Line?

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword and the pen
Can be held, by the same hand
What's it gonna take to liberate
An emancipation, a false proclamation
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd, and a litte too late
When a house is divided
It just will not stand
Once it's decided
A line drawn in the sand

Van Halen~Ballot or the Bullet

Glad to see people playing....

Her eyes are black as leather
And her hair is killer red
How could she keep the baby
When she can barely keep her head
She don't owe nobody nothing
And she ain't on the street
But these drinks are getting heavy
And these lips are getting weak
She don't understand
Why she can't climb out of the sand
And break away

She's an all American girl
An all American girl
And she will live and die in this man's world
An all American girl

Melissa Etheridge - American Girl

She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her Momma in heels and pearls
She's gonna make it in her Daddy's world
An American girl
An American girl

I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be

And I can't call in sick on Mondays
when the weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core

And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
but if dyin's asked of me
I'll bare that cross with honor
'cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
when liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

Yeah, an American soldier, an American
beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
when liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
So Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American
An American, an American soldier

I just couldnt cut this song down, so I posted it all...just didnt seem right....besides it leaves all kinds of possiblities

In another place, in another time
He was a soldier in his prime
On the battlefield, makin' history
Yound men died for his destiny
And their widows came each day
Till he was forced to run away
From home

do i really need to post artist/title?

You took your love away too fast
Left no chance to say look back
Now I know the truth, it makes it easier
Maybe when time goes by I'll understand

Let's pretend that I've moved on
Then I'll tell myself that life goes on without you
Open my eyes, look deep inside
I run away, I run away, I run away

You threw it all away, so blind
Pushed me far from you, in your life
Now I know the tears won't lead to loneliness
Baby, when time goes by, you'll understand

I run away...Britney Spears

Now the time has come, Time!
There's no place to run, Time!
I might get burned up by the sun, Time!
But I had my fun, Time!
I've been loved and put aside, Time!
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide, Time!
And my soul has been psychedelicized, Time!
Time!
Now the time has come, Time!
There are things to realize, Time!
Time has come today, Time!
Time has come today, Time!

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening
again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How will you start it over?
You don't know what became.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone this far
down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

PG...went out after work yesterday and didn't get home until VERY late...I'm back and ready to play now though

Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way
It used to be

I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started
Long before I did

And there's so much time to make up
Everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way

Well that sounds like fun.....and im done doin errands and ready to play too

this was a tough one...so I just took one word, cause this song kept coming to me

I just found this old picture in my wallet
Of you and me, down in Mexico
Just look at us there on that beach, on that blanket
That look on our face says all that you need to know

Seems like everywhere we go baby, love goes
Everywhere, everytime our hearts meet, love is all around us
Every road we take, darlin love takes
Every turn, livin right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

Sometimes I dream, we're alone on an island
Nowhere to go, we don't want to leave
All we have is a world full of time
We spend it all on you and me
It's all we need

Seems like everywhere we go baby, love goes
Everywhere, everytime our hearts meet, love is all around us
Every road we take, darlin love takes
Every turn, livin right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

I'm so alive when I'm near you
This fire in my heart lights my world when I'm with you

Every road we take, darlin love takes
Every turn, livin right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

I believe love goes, everywhere we go
Everywhere we go

The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear,
I've seen that road before. It always leads me here,
leads me to your door.

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Island_Lullaby · Post by **Island_Lullaby** » March 28, 2004 8:34 pm

Hey girl whatcha doin' down there?
Dancing alone every night while I live right above you.
I can hear your music playin.
I can feel your body swayin.
One floor below me, you don't even know me,
I love you

Oh my darlin.
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me.
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show.

ooooops forgot something

We get it on most every night
When that old moon gets so big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark, and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
