There was Christ in the metal shell
 There was blood on the pavement
 The camera will make you God
 That's how Jack became sainted

 If you die when there's no one watchin'
 And your ratings drop and you're forgotten
 If they kill you on their TV
 You're a martyr and a lamb of God

 Nothin's gonna change
 Nothin's gonna change the world

 There was Lennon and the happy gun
 There were words on the pavement
 We were lookin' for the lamb of God
 We were lookin' for Mark David

 If you die when there's no one watchin'
 And your ratings drop and you're forgotten
 If they kill you on their TV
 You're a martyr and the lamb of God

 Nothin's gonna change the world
 Nothin's gonna change
 Nothin's gonna change the world
 Nothin's gonna change the world

 Took three days for Him to die
 The born again to buy the serial rights
 Lamb of God have mercy on us
 Lamb of God won't you grant us

 Nothin's gonna change the world
 Nothin's gonna change
 Nothin's gonna change the world
 Nothin's gonna change

 Nothin's gonna change the world
 Nothin's gonna change
 Nothin's gonna change the world
 Nothin's gonna change the world

 If you die when there's no one watchin'
 And your ratings drop and you're forgotten
 If they kill you on their TV
 You're a martyr and a lamb of God

 Nothin's gonna change the world


Lamb Of God (Manson Acoustic Cover)

Purple Flower as performed by the Dirtboys... Recorded by Grady James in Joshua Tree.

Purple Flower (Grady James mix) Dirtboys 2011

2000 years since we killed the son of man
2000 years and he has never returned
Only 2000 Imposters
Only 2 billion lies

10,000 days and im feeling betrayed
10,000 days add up to noting but,

6 billion people are crying
6 billion people are hopeing
6 billion people are praying
Were waiting...

They say that one man, on one cross, paid in full the eternal dept of our sins
Im here to say when will the blood quit flowing in his name...

Were crying, were hoping, were praying... still waiting...

2000 years and we are still burning away
2000 years and the cup has gone dry...
We're just waiting for one word before eternity passes away
Were just waiting for one word, just one word...

6 billion more people are dying
6 billion more people are decaying
6 billion more people are waiting...

were all waiting...

To end this lie...

2000 Years

All the money in the world wont save your soul
All the dirt in the world wont fill the hole

Real eyes
Realize 
The real lies that your telling
Your a real diamond.... Diamond Jack

So many people living in fear...
We choke down our bitter beers...

Real eyes
Realize
the real lies that your telling 

Your a real diamond

Diamond Jack

Diamond Jack

I originally wrote in 2001. But this is the only recording in existence that I know of... I rarely perform the song, although I may start performing it more now.

Lyrics...

And when its over, aint it funny how everything seems to change.
And when its over, seems that everything has gone away.

When I know that today I could spread my wings and fly away.

Right then its over on that fateful day when you waved me away.
Im left just standing here with the weight of the world running through my head.

And so its over that love we knew gone up in flames.
and then its over that love we knew will never see the light again.

But I know that today I could spread my wings and fly away. 

When Its Over

My Version of Marilyn Manson's song "Man That You Fear" from the album Antichrist Superstar.

"Man That You Fear"


The ants are in the sugar
 The muscles atrophied
 We're on the other side, the screen is us and we're t.v.
 Spread me open,
 Sticking to my pointy ribs
 Are all your infants in abortion cribs
 I was born into this
 Everything turns to shit
 The boy that you loved is the man that you fear
 Pray until your number,
 Asleep from all your pain,
 Your apple has been rotting
 Tomorrow's turned up dead
 I have it all and I have no choice but to
 I'll make everyone pay and you will see
 You can kill yourself now
 Because you're dead
 In my mind
 The boy that you loved is the monster you fear
 Peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
 You've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
 Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
 Pray your life was just a dream
 The cut that never heals
 Pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
 (I am so tangled in my sins that I cannot escape)
 Pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed
 Someone had to go this far
 I was born into this
 Everything turns to shit
 The boy that you loved is the man that you fear
 Peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
 You've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
 Pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
 Pray your life was just a dream
 The cut that never heals
 Pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
 The world in my hands, there's no one left to hear you scream
 There's no one left for you

 When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed  




Man That You Fear

Here is a little remake of one of my favorite Beatles songs "Hey Jude" It is certainly not the best version ever recorded but, It may be one of the more interesting versions ever recorded. Of course I could never compete with the master musicianship of the Beatle but here's my way of show a little tribute to one of the most influential songwriters of all time. 

Hey Jude

Here is a very raw acoustic version of Yesterday by the Beatles. Just me and my nylon string guitar and my voice. Plain simple and beautiful.

Yesterday

Here is my freshly remastered version of the classic song by The Highwaymen.

"Highwayman"

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
 With sword and pistol by my side
 Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
 Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
 The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
 But I am still alive.

 I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
 And with the sea I did abide.
 I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
 I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
 And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
 But I am living still.

 I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
 Where steel and water did collide
 A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
 I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
 They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
 But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and 
 around and around

 I fly a starship across the Universe divide
 And when I reach the other side
 I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
 Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
 Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
 But I will remain
 And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again.. 

The Highwaymen

My newest original recording... Can We turn life around if we choose?

Turn It All Around

And Tonight as the moon shines bright
In your night eyes...
As the hounds of hell are chasing me
These fears wont let me be...
And so I fold to you...

Sometimes I lose the things I gain
Take way the world, away with the pain
carry my head my home tonight
Take it all away, Night eyes in pain

And a breath inside your mouth
as your out of time...
And those hounds are still chasing me
These fears wont let me be...
I shed my tears for you...

Sometimes I lose the things I gain
Take way the world, away with the pain
carry my head my home tonight
Take it all away, Night eyes in pain


Night Eyes

Sins of the Father – D’man Lee Tiner

I’m still here
Though he’s gone these days
Couldn’t drink the pain away… But god knows we’ve tried and died 7 billion times
We carry the pain
And worship the blame; it seems it’s all that’s saved.

We all loved you, through everything we’ve been through
And now we see; now we see…

The Sins of the Father, It carries on, it carries on that weight
Our Sins never falter, They carry on, They carry on, We carry on that Weight

We all looked up to you, 
We always saw it through
Was this the plan? The master plan, It seems we’d lost all hope
Every drink and Every Choke
Every time were laid out on that floor, It all fades away, It fades away
Comes back another day like a better friend than you, But there’s no better friend than you

The Sins of the Father, It carries on, It carries on that weight
Our Sins never falter, they carry on, they carry on, and we carry on that Weight
And in the End of days, we give thanks and pray for the Sins of the Father
As we carry on that Weight…
