No Man’s Land (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

What happened to the old records
When it sounded like this
What happened to the old records
When it was strictly classics

Repeat

What’s going on is what he once said
Guess nobody heard him
And it’s no better as days go by
I’m gettin’ fed up
Pain and misery is taking over me
Hungry babies unemployment lines people
Steady dying
I’m getttin’ my bags and i’m goning
To the place that is no where

Chorus
I’m going going packin’ my bags
And going to no man’s land
I’m going going packin’ my bags
I’m going to no man’s land

Catching cases and during time i’m getting
Careless
My baby’s mama making me loose my mind
Gotta keep my head up
The divorce rates running high ain’t no
Family ties
Where’s our future, chruches burning down,
Disease is spreading around
I’m gettin’ my bags and i’m going to a place
Where no man’s land

Chorus

Sign of the times staring you in your face
I must go on try to find a better place

Repeat chorus five times

Ad-lib

Gotta get away find here go far from here
Fly away from here
Gotta get away find here go far from here

Fade

(john scott sherrill/steve seskin)

That house on the hill is long gone
Now she’s living in a trailer with an astroturf lawn
Got three little kids and no one to help
Trying to be momma and daddy all by herself
It’s hard to hold down the fort when you’re holdin’ down a job
She’d rob peter to pay paul but he’s already been robbed
She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines
She’d break down and cry but she doesn’t have time

She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it’s nothin’ like she had planned
She’s gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man’s land

Every now and then late at night
She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight
And there’s a guy down at work he keeps callin’ her up
But she ain’t ready for none of that stuff
She’s still sifting through the ashes of a love that’s been and gone
Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong
It ain’t always easy, but she knows she’s gotta try
Every time she looks into her babies’ eyes

She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it’s nothin’ like she had planned
She’s gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man’s land

She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it’s nothin’ like she had planned
She’s gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man’s land
No man’s land

Well how do you do private william mcbride
Do you mind if i sit here down by your graveside?
I’ll rest for awhile in the warm summer sun
I’ve been walking all day and i’m nearly done

And i see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916
And i hope you died quick and i hope you died clean
Or william mcbride was it slow and obscene?

Chorus:
Did they beat the drum slowly, did they sound the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fire o’er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugle play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the "flowers o’ the forest"?

Well the sun it shines now on these green fields of france
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished now under the plow
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns fire now

For here in this graveyard it’s still no man’s land
And the countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation who butchered and damned

(chorus)

Well i can’t help but wonder now, willie mcbride
Do all those who lie here know just why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause?
Did you really believe this war would end all wars?

But the suffering the sorrow the glory the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain
For william mcbride it’s all happened again
And again and again and again and again.

(chorus)

Hey, come and make it easy
Hey, come and make it black
It’s no use to be free
If lies are all the truth they see
They’ll screw up what you do
When you’re through

Hey, come and make it easy
Hey, come and make it black
If you need a friend
And you need a way to loose the end
You know a place for you
When you’re through

Hey, come and make it easy
Hey, come and make it black
It’s no use to be free
If lies are all the truth they see
They’ll screw up what you do
When you’re through

In a town without a name
There is no shame
No blame to claim
One fine day the pilgrims came
And made new rules for an old game
And i’m waiting for the garbage man to take you away
And i’m searching for my playground
So i can go and play
So they built a big smoke stack
Built a railroad track
They made the dirt roads black
And they did it behind your back
And now you pay their tax
Hoping something cracks
And i’m waiting for the garbage man
To take you away
And i’m searching for my playground
So i can go and play
From out of the dust came corrosion and rust
That made you look so cheap
There’s nothing to have here
And nothing to hold here
And nothing that you can keep
Now understand this is no man’s land
And its all that’s left that’s free
Where the kings of nothing rule my friend
And you can’t make me leave
There’s a billboard in the sky
Reflecting water in your eyes
This big city, this ghost town
Will come crawling to the ground
And i’m waiting for the hurricane to blow you away
And i’m searching for my twister
To twist you into shape
Now my speach is said and done
The circus came, i had my fun
And the wasteland has been won
And the building has begun
And i’m waiting for the earthquake to shake you down
And i see my mother nature trying to drag you around
From out of the dust came
Corrosion and rust
That made you look so cheap
There’s nothing to have here
And nothing to hold here
And nothing that you can keep
Now understand this is no man’s land
And its all that’s left that’s free
Where the kings of nothing rule my friend
(then you can’t make believe?)

[peplove talkin’]

[opio]
Mc’s they diss but want to be subtle
What can i say to disgruntle
Heiroglyphics but then the rebuttle
That’s trouble
Don’t want to get caught stuck on the mic
I know what it’s like
I seen some niggas be victims last night
A pitiful sight
All four of them, they tight
..[phesto] disguise it between the lines, man, it’ll be
Aight…
Write rhymes in the limelight
Can’t afford excitement
Gotta be careful
Down low when i recite it

[phesto]
Cause you niggas are weak
Immune to freakin shit surpressed ‘em
Quarrenteened to malpractice
But mics you need to be arrested
Bribery, for your recitals that suck
Dick infested, with your misconceptions
You can duck, the mic with digress and babblin’
Disestablishin’ the fact ya wack ass backwards destined
Unimpressive, much too lacking, you divulgin’
Exposin’… ya posin’
Comin from no new angles
The same flows that keep us dozin’

[peplove talkin’]

[opio]
Got ‘em terrified
Let’s clarify this shit, who bit
Prepare to die for that _______
You crossed me you gets clips
Sendin’ ‘em shockwaves
Beatin his rhyme until it’s concave
Leavin’ his nerves wracked, his eyes glazed
Raisin em out the misconception
That you stepped in the right direction
Souls of mischief is perfection
You need to miss this
Cause we get down to business
Mc’s if you resent us when ya rock on the fenders(?)

[phesto]
So why resist that we the best at… what we do
When ya’ll are just decoration for the recreation
Fakin mc’s with blatent disregard for making the bump
My patience is up
Resign heiroglyphics devine, refined
You niggas need to find an assonine that’s uninclined
To rhyme confined
To mindless behind a _______
And swift about a second, if in time trying to diss
Just bow and scrape
Cause souls of mischief whippin’ niggas in shape

[peplove talkin’]

[tajai]
I guess i’m good at the game of natural selectiveness
In the wild wild west
Where the beats got wild wise
And niggas stayed down the streets from their grandmamas
Hoppin with the three four fifty poppin in their ______ cause
That’s how it goes, that’s how it’s gonna stay, rather toasty
Nuthin’ like my day, you don’t say
I remember me, snupe, ______, and toure
All them for days
Ready for the ______ and _______
With anyone who test
But let me tell ya somethin though ma-n
All that funkin’ got is nuthin’ but lumps and no pay
Now my only lumps is sums
And the funk it just hums
Out ya high flying ______
Ya system is stupid dumb
A hint of wisdom come, each second ya grow
So rememberin some shit ya wish ya didn’t know
Like this, don’t trust your bitch
Cause she’s here with me
Just a skip to the rarity and bust a skit

[peplove talkin’]

[a-plus]
Hold up, i wanna explain
You wack and shit
You lack the gift
I wanna smack you kid
Because the fact you did
An unforgivable crime, wanting to rhyme
Against the smooth master
I move faster, my crew’ll blast ya
And i bet you thought you gets no i see you (?)
Don’t even entertain the thought that i’d be through slicin’
You
See a nigga like me constructs lines to buck minds
You can’t corrupt minds
I’m givin these niggas tough times
I’m above crimes
With "i don’t give a fuck" rhymes
Niggas love mine
Mc’s see me as unkind
With their dumb rhymes
I can find and track black
Leave them standin’ frozen
People say a-plus that man is chosen
I’m the man with hoes and cash
Fast, to catch ya dozin
There’s no gimmicks, no ego trippin’
No backwards flows and
There’s no fuckin’ whistle
Souls of mischief is destruction
Easily destruct your facial tissue
Heiroglyphics, never late to diss you

[peplove talkin’]

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

City street lights
And the multiple life
But babe you gotta give and go

Cigarette lights
Then my finger alights
I need to be alone

She can take you tonight
She can make you, that’s alright
She can break you tonight
Don’t misunderstand

Cigarette girls
Goes head in and whirls
You will be a superman

Open her booths
Deal must to the bruiser
Drinking all i can

We can take that tonight
We can make them, that’s right
We can break them tonight
Don’t misunderstand

The light…
Alone in the light
Alone in the light
In the sea of pain

You can take it tonight
She can make you, that’s right
She can break you tonight
Don’t misunderstand
‘cause they cry, and…

Alone in the light
Alone in the light
Alone in the light
In the sea at night

We rode the streets in the morning light
We held our day in our hands

Alone in the light
Alone in the light
Alone in the light
In the sea at night

I’ve seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines
Blue suits and bankers with their volvos and their valentines
Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise
Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice
Now we’re gonna get the big business
Now we’re gonna get the real thing
Everybody’s all excited about it

Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man’s land
Before they passed the master plan
Out here in no man’s land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man’s land

There ain’t much work out here in our consumer power base
No major industry, just miles and miles of parking space
This morning’s paper says our neighbor’s in a cocaine bust
Lots more to read about lolita and suburban lust
Now we’re gonna get the whole story
Now we’re gonna be in prime time
Everybody’s all excited about it

Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man’s land
We’ve just begun to understand
Out here in no man’s land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man’s land

I see these children with their boredom and their vacant stares
God help us all if we’re to blame for their unanswered prayers
They roll the sidewalks up at night, this place goes underground
Thanks to the condo kings there’s cable now in zombietown
Now we’re gonna get the closed circuit
Now we’re gonna get the top 40
Now we’re gonna get the sports franchise
Now we’re gonna get the major attractions

Who remembers when it all began
Out here in no man’s land
Before the whole world was in our hands
Out here in no man’s land
Before the banners and the marching bands
Out here in no man’s land
Low supply and high demand
Here in no man’s land
