Dan Cioper: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I don't know about
fractions and factions
Justins and Jacksons
this chum and that chum
well we all start out on
our own hands and knees.
I don't know about
dogmas and chakras
cheetas and Choctaws
Shriners and Rastas
all in all we're doing
all we can.
And I don't know about
an eye for an eye
Jesus in the sky man
prophecy can't hold
it in my hand.

But if there's one
thing I know
it's that true simplicitude
ain't printed on no paper,
ain't shown on no T.V.
Just help me to be free.

Chorus:
Yea empower me.
Yea help me to be free.
Yea Empower me.

I don't know about
I-pods and I-phones
I'm still alive though
Beamers and leamurs lookin'
straight cross the grass
for greater products and things.

And I don't know about
Smokers and slow-pokers
Hoodoos and ju-ju's
gizmos and discos, man
new is old if you're knockin'
on my door.

And I don't know about
high times and bye times.
My time is your time
Time-lines and prime times
it's a quality you take it
when it's there.

And like I said you'd be misled
if you ever locked me in a box.
Ain't meant for no museum.
No robot's got my mind.
You know I'm here just like you're here
Just help me to be free.

(Chrous)

I don't know about borders and mortars, colors and class wars, walls of poor soldiers just doin' their job and never askin' why.
And I don't know about
Industrial complex,
biological bomb threats,
vaccines and death dreams
I'm made to stand up on my own two feet.
And I don't know about
your constitution, my constitution man my God we're losin snoozin
just in case you haven't checked the score.
And so my friend it is the end.
And if you'll be continuing
there's only one solution
as simple as can be
just read my lips or suck on this it's all the same to name the game you gotta help me to be free.

(Chorus)
