DEALING WITH THE DEVIL (Clayton Doley) Just how stupid can we all really be what will it take to see Freaky storms or natural catastrophes or how about the rising seas Green house gasses in the air that we breathe smog in the big cities Methane all up in our atmosphere it means global warming is here We all feel the climate changing it's just mother nature raging You know we've only got ourselves to blame If we keep Dealing with the devil We'll make this world a living hell We keep on adding precious fuel to the fire 'till our natural resources dry up Greedy people kill the earth for a dollar just wait 'till they kill each other If we could leave some of our forests alone we might possibly save some ozone Toxic waste and plastic all in our seas we're our own worst enemy We all feel the climate changing it's just mother nature raging You know we've only got ourselves to blame If we keep Dealing with the devil We'll make this world a living hell When fertile soil turns into desert sand and clean drinking water is in such high demand Do you understand this could be the extinction of man

SEVENTH SON (Willie Dixon) Every body's talking bout the seventh son In the whole round world there only one and I'm the one Yes I'm the one I'm the one I'm the on I'm the one they call the seventh son I can tell your future it will come to pass I can do things for you make your heart feel glad Look in the sky predict the rain I can tell when a woman's got another man I'm the one Yes I'm the one I'm the one I'm the on I'm the one they call the seventh son I can talk these words that will sound so sweet They will ever make your little heart skip a beat I can heal the sick and raise the dead and make little girls talk out their head I'm the one Yes I'm the one I'm the one I'm the on I'm the one they call the seventh son

DESPERATE TIMES (Clayton Doley) I used to be a happy man I had the world on a string But i got stung up had a sting of bad luck, lost everything Somebody stole my car, the machine ate my credit cards I lost my job my house got robbed I think i need CPR Desperate times call for desperate measures when your under pressure to sometimes You got to be strong just to keep on, living in desperate times I used to be an honest man a pillar of society But i turned to crime just to provide for my family Struggling to make ends meet just trying to make the rent every week You know i will beg borrow and steel, 'till i get back on my feet Desperate times call for desperate measures when your under pressure to sometimes You got to be strong just to keep on, living in desperate times

FRIDAY THE 13TH (Clayton Doley) I was born on Friday the 13th My mother died while she was having me My daddy cried he couldn't raise me on his salary So he robbed the local bank and they threw him in the penitentiary I was born on Friday the 13th when I get knocked down somebody kicks me in the teeth On the 13th night of the 13th day 13 doctors tried but 13 doctors failed Now my mothers ghost appears to me in my dreams She says yes the end is coming but no you won't be saved I was born on Friday the 13th when I get knocked down somebody kicks me in the teeth I was raised on the streets outside the gates of hell Fear and hunger were my friends I knew them well Bad luck and trouble followed me round like a bad smell And my old friend desperation thew my money down the wishing well I was born on Friday the 13th when I get knocked down somebody kicks me in the teeth

HOW BLUE CAN YOU GET (Leonard Feather / Jane Feather) I've been downhearted baby Ever since the day we met I said I've been downhearted baby Ever since the day we met Our love is nothing but the blues, Baby, how blue can you get? You're evil when I'm with you And you are jealous when we're apart Yes, I said you're evil You're so evil when I'm with you, baby And you are jealous when we're apart How blue can you get, baby? The answer's is right here in my heart I gave you a brand-new Ford You said I want a Cadillac I bought you a ten dollar dinner You said thanks for the snack I let you live in my penthouse You said it was just a shack I gave you seven children And now you want to give them back Yes, I've been downhearted baby Ever since the day we met I said our love is nothing but the blues Baby, how blue can you get?

PERMANENT HOLIDAY (Clayton Doley) When city life got obtrusive i started getting reclusive I needed room to move I wanted solitude so I moved to the country I got out of the rat race found a nice quite place With natural harmony piece and tranquility I moved away to the country What used to be my get away is now where I stay each and every day It's perfect in each and every way Now I'm on a permanent holiday yes I'm on a permanent holiday Fading visions are clearer distant dreams are much nearer My life has new meaning with inner well being out here in the country Quit my medication and took up meditation I've picked up the pen writing songs again out here in the country What used to be my get away is now where I stay each and every day It's perfect in each and every way Now I'm on a permanent holiday yes I'm on a permanent holiday And when your stuck in traffic in a constant state of panic It's alright it's ok you can go on holiday And when your living on top of each other you try not to shoot one another Don't worry be happy you can go on holiday
