Number One 03:30
If only I was numb Out of my mind, deaf and dumb I wouldn't want to choke I wouldn't even get the joke You know, the joke that's on us Discuss If only I could sleep A hundred mile deep sleep I wouldn't care who's side you were on I'd sleep right through until you were gone It's not about right, left or long It's just wrong So long If only I couldn't hear you Or see or be anywhere near you Or feel you in the air I wouldn't care that you don't care And in your stare beware You're all about number one You're all about number one Yeah but you're not number one

I could walk out here for hours looking for the sun But he moved to the city, left here at a run I could walk out here for hours but this place has lost it's charm And the feds just came around and bought out the last farm No more snow left on the mountain, melted all away one road left in the county, one road left to pave I could walk out here for hours across a fallow field But these folks already harvested their one last yield So take my hand darling and walk with me once more together and remember what we're living for Take my hand honey and lighten up my load And walk with me one last time down the last dirt road We used to drive out here for hours past the family farms I wish somebody somewhere could have sounded the alarms Now it's all paved over, we watched our life corrode So walk with me one last time down the last dirt road Take my hand darling, walk with me once more Together and remember what we're living for Take my hand honey and lighten up my load and walk with me one last time down the last dirt road Walk with me one last time down the last dirt road

What's wrong? What's going on? Is is something deep inside? Was it there all along? I think we all know the answer. We're just too afraid to say what's wrong What's the need? What does it feed? Is it something that will help? Will it fix our greed? I think we all know the answer. We just don't want to say what's wrong What's really wrong What should we do? What can be done? Should we stand up and fight, Or should we cut and run? And all the whiskey in the world won't save us We're just gonna have to be courageous We all know what contaminates us We're just too ashamed to say What's wrong! What's really wrong!

Sing Yeah! 04:31
Stuck inside surrounded by doubt You can't find your way out Can't see the light, it just isn't there You've taken all you can bear It's time to sing yeah! Yeah yeah yeah! Sing yeah like The Beatles would sing Stuck in a rut, something holding you back You can't get back on track No guiding light to show you the way Can you make it through the day? Well you can if you just sing yeah! Yeah yeah yeah Sing yeah like The Beatles would sing Late at night, no one else awake You can't even sleep it's just too much to take Morning will come, maybe show you the way Another chance at a brand new day The love of your life just walked out the door You can't take it anymore Can't move forward, can't stay stuck in the past But you know that this won't last if you just sing yeah! Yeah yeah yeah! Sing yeah like The Beatles would sing Sing yeah! Yeah yeah yeah! Sing yeah like The Beatles would sing

My Uncle Sam went to Vietnam He didn't dodge the draft He didn't learn the art of graft So who would shame his name Just for their own fame? I think that's really lame Coming from a man who wasn't even there A man nice and safe in his home Captain John McCain got shot down in his plane And I don't understand why you think He's someone that we should disdain But still you shame his name Just for your own gain I think that's just insane Coming from a man who wasn't even there A man nice and safe in his home According to you the only way to not be a loser Is to not go serve at all But when you insult just one war hero You insult every name on that wall And you're a man who wasn't even there A man nice and safe in his home We know how you like to shoot people down You like the guys that don't get captured And they never did capture you somehow Because you're a man who wasn't even there A man nice and safe in his home Well my Uncle Sam Came home from Vietnam
