LYRICS:

There's so much going on it's crazy trouble all around
I'll tell you something I'm not gonna let it get me down
I been going through some funky changes changes are the same
We like the joy but we can't really stand the pain

I'm just happy to see you and me
Back in stride again
I'm just happy to see you and me
Back in stride again

I'm gonna try to keep it coming things ain't always smooth
But I'll be alright as long as I can feel the groove
Some how I know that I can make it you seem to like my style
Well don't you worry I'm gonna be around awhile

I'm just happy to see you and me
Back in stride again
I'm just happy to see you and me
back in stride again

Tell you what I'm gonna do
I just want to be with you
Gonna give it all I can
Yes I'm back in stride again

There's so much going on it's crazy trouble all around
I tell you something I'm not gonna let it get me down
I been going through some funky changes changes are the same
We like the joy but we can't really stand the pain

I'm just happy to see you and me
Back in stride again
I'm just happy to see you and me
Back in stride again

Tell you what I'm gonna do
I just want to be with you
Gonna give it all I can
Yes I'm back in stride again

Back in stride again
Back in stride again
Back in stride again
Back in stride again

LYRICS:

6 o'clock in the morning and; i'm the last person in this plane
still awake
Y'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores,
Of this land that can't forget its past.
Oh the wind that carries this plane, is the wind of change,
heaven sent and hell bent!
over the mountain tops we go, just like all the other GI Joes

EE-AY-EE-AY----adios!

CHORUS
This is your captain calling--"with an urgent warning"
We're above the Gulf of Arabia--"our altitude is falling"
& I can't hold her up--"there's no time for thinking"
All hands on deck--"this bird is sinking"

Across the beaches and cranes, rivers and trains
all the money I've made--bodies I've maimed.
Time was when I seemed to know,
Just like any other GI Joe
Should I cry like a baby, or die like a man
While all the planets like wars start joining hands,
Oh what a heaven--what a hell!!
Y'know there's nothing can be done in the whole wide world.

I don't know whats wrong or right,
I'm just a regular guy, with bottled up insides,
I ain't ever been to church or believed in
Jesus Christ
but I'm praying that Gods with you when you die!!!

LYRICS:

Love wars
Love wars

Love wars
Love wars

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But it's taking me under
Since you're not here
Oh, and I feel so alone

It's better when it's harder to get
But this hide and go seek
Is making me weep
Oh, we call over now

I promise to stop boxing you round
So don't scratch my face
At the end of the eight
Oh, the fight is all over now

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Love wars (No, we don't need)
Love wars

The talks we had don't change a thing
They only bring rain
On top of pain
Oh, it's tearing me apart

Flashbacks and uncovered tracks
From when you left
With my best friend

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Make love and peace
And, baby, never cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
And stop these

Love wars (We don't need)
Love wars (Love wars)
Love wars (And be strong now)
Love wars (Ow!)

Love wars (We don't need)
Love wars (Love wars)
Love wars (Could it be all over now?)
Love wars (Come on back home, darling)

Love bombs explodin' in air
Until the last one
I really don't care

I remember losing my head
And calling you things
Like dirty names
Oh, and I feel bad about it, baby

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Make love and peace
And, baby, ever cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on

Love wars (No!)
Love wars (We can't stand, no)
Love wars (Just come on out)
Love wars (I don't want no love wars)
