It Takes Love

(3:05) …join the human reconnection movement!

We gotta turn this thing around
If we don’t, we won’t be found
We can’t let them take it.

We gotta find another way
Or we won’t last another day
If we wanna make it

You know what I know,
but you don’t know what it takes
You know what I know
and we both know it’s gonna break

There is nothing you can do
Since you don’t believe it’s true
Evidence has proven

We gotta shake it up today
There is nothing left to say
Till we get it movin’

You know what I know,
but you don’t know what it takes
You know what I know
and we both know it’s gonna break

It takes love
It takes love
It takes love

 

Blue and Red

(4:26) …concern for extremists who might turn to violence.

Blue and red
It’s hurting my head
You heard what I said
We’d be better off dead

Load the gun
Fill the clip with deadly ammunition
We got to stop
The social weapon confiscation mission

What you gonna do, what you gonna do
What you gonna do and who you gonna do it to

Blue and red
It’s hurting my head
You heard what I said
We’d be better off dead

If you don’t think like me
There must be something wrong with you
The last resort
Is what we’ll have to be resorting to

Blue and red don’t mean nothing, to me
Blue and red don’t mean nothing is free
Blue and red it means nothing
Blue and red it means nothing to me
It means nothing to me

 

I Hate the Blues (featuring "Crazy Joe" Naumann on Blues Harp)

(4:39) …the conductor wins over an adversary with favors.

Here comes the blues train
It’s coming down the tracks
Here comes the blues train
And it won’t let me relax
I find it hard to sleep
When that whistle blows
It blows at 4am
And everybody knows

Oh no not again
I hate the blues
No no not again
I hate the blues

That damn conductor
Well, she brings me to my knees
I pray at night
Dear Miss Conductor won’t you please
I’d like to ride your train
And hear your whistle blow
I’ll ride it all night long
You’ll come before I go

Oh no not again
I hate the blues
No no not again
I hate the blues

Riding on the blues train
I’m relaxed as I can be
Riding on the blues train
Well, she takes good care of me
I hope I never leave
There’s really no excuse
She even lets me
Take a ride in her caboose

Oh no not again
I hate the blues
No no not again
I hate the blues

Hear that whistle blow
Blow, blow, blow
Hear that whistle blow
Blow, blow, blow

She’s gonna blow that thing
In every single town
If you dare to get on board
Here’s where she might be found

Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, & Missouri
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota
South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota

Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Arizona
New Mexico, Texas, California, Nevada
Connecticut, Alaska, Delaware, Louisiana
Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, & Indiana

North Carolina, New York, Oregon, & Oklahoma
Massachusetts, Ohio, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire
New Jersey, Vermont, Rhode Island, Washington, Virginia
Georgia, West Virginia, last stop South Carolina

Oh no not again
I hate the blues
No no not again
I hate the blues

Hear that whistle blow
Blow, blow, blow
Hear that whistle blow
Blow, blow, blow
