To make you understand the value of a man?
I'm talkin' about your son and neighbor, yes I am. Oh ...

People let's stop the war

If we had a president, that did just what he said,
The country would be just alright, and no one would be dead,
From fighting in a war, that causes big men to get rich.
There's money in them war machines, now ain't this a bitch? Oh ...

People let's stop the war
People let's stop the war
People let's stop the war

I been excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo ... excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Upsetter
Mark Farner

She's a real upsetter,
Least she's tryin' to all of the time, yeah.
You know I just won't let her,
Break this heart of mine, yeahhh ... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ya-yeah.

I got hip to her, yeah, right away boys,
But my heart just led me along, yeah.
I'm gonna' slip right away boys,
'Cause I don't want to sing this song, all night looooooong-oh, yeah.

Upsetter, got me layin' awake all night
Upsetter, like to make me cry, yeah
Upsetter, got me layin' awake all night
Upsetter, I'd be better to die

She'll be sorry when I leave her,
She just won't know what to say, yeah.
I can't hardly wait to leave her,
I guess I'll be on my way, yeahhh ... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ya-yeah.

Upsetter, got me layin' awake all night
Upsetter, like to make me cry, yeah
Upsetter, got me layin' awake all night
Upsetter, I'd be better to die

Upsetter ... upsetter ...

I Come Tumblin'
Mark Farner

I come tumblin' down, from the darkness
I stretch my arms out to, catch the sound, yeah.
I hear grumblin' and, broken heartness is
Slowly spreading and, going 'round.

Half the people are, never knowing
And never caring and never showing, their ...
... love for sisters, as well as brothers
Let's, teach our children to, love each other.

Slowly coming the, thought of losing
the world is ever so near.
Let's start showing and, let's start growing
with love there's nothing to fear.

Da, da, da-da, da ...
Oh ... Yeah ...

Da, da, da-da, da ...
Oh ... Yeah ...
Yeah ...

Save the Land
Mark Farner

Look out for the land rush, it's coming day by day.
Said, get ready for the land rush, it's headed right your way.
Look what you're paying, to live on your land,
And most folks don't even have some, but I don't understand.

Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.

Sometimes I sit here thinking, but all the answers just don't appear.
I'm calling to my brothers and sisters, let's get together and kill this fear.
There ain't really gonna' be much to it. We can control the thing if we try.
With just a little more understanding, the whole world will get by.

Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.

Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land

No Lies
Mark Farner

Oh ... I got one thing to tell ya', then you make up your mind.
It's what I been tryin' to tell ya', for a long, long time.
We need each other, to live in peace and harmony.
Don't need a whole lot to give, 'cause love is for free.

I ... I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't tryin' to sell ya',
No lies.

Forget all of your troubles, for a minute or two.
Just listen to what I'm sayin', 'cause I'm talkin' to you.
We don't need no leader, to tell us just what's wrong.
We need love in the country, so we can get strong.

And, I ... oh, you know, I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't tryin' to sell ya',
No lies.

I ... I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't gonna' sell ya',
No lies.

I ... I got one thing to tell ya',
I ... oooo, I ain't gonna' sell ya',
No lies

Loneliness
Mark Farner

Loneliness cries deep from my soul,
Keeps trying to tell me about the world growing so cold.
Too many people trying to take from my Earth,
But we can't live without controlling our birth.

Deep inside a voice cries out for you,
It's not alone 'cause, people, I been cryin' too.
If we don't stop what we all see is wrong,
I guarantee you mankind won't live long.

There's a land, a glorius land,
It's right here on Earth.
Understand what you can from the land,
Your life is it's worth.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh

To face the problems that everyone's found,
We must replace what we took out of the ground.
Pray for your brother, let your soul find a way,
Help one another, oh, please listen to what I say.

There's a land, a glorius land,
It's right here on Earth.
Understand what you can from the land,
Your life is it's worth.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh

Loneliness ...
Oh ..., I can't get away from loneliness ...
Yeah, loneliness ... oooo ...
Loneliness ...
Yeah, loneli- ... loneli- ... lo- ... neliness ...
I just can't get away from loneli- ...loneliness ...
Yeah, ... yeah ...

Loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
Can't get away from loneliness ...
