Breaking Dawn

The children of Ukraine, Gaza, Israel..... all deserve safety. Is it impossible for us to give it to them? Are we condemned to always repeat the evils of the past?

Monkey See, Monkey Do

The easy way to train a man
Is to get him to do what you do
Don't worry about the rights and wrongs
Just get him to walk in your shoes

'Give me the boy and I'll give you the man'

That's the plan

When I cast my mind back through my history
And all the things I've been through
Many of the things that I thought I'd learnt
Were 'monkey see and monkey do'

I gave them the boy and they made the man

Here I am

When I look around at the world today
The monkeys see and the monkeys do
The sins of our fathers in perpetuity
Govern the things that we choose

Can we spare the child to save the man?

Monkey see, monkey do?

Monkey see, monkey do?

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Lyrics:

Why is it so hard to receive compliments?
Why is it so hard to enjoy being seen?
Why do we see problems in things that feels good?
Why do we push the good feelings away?

We should all enjoy every moment
That makes us warm
And gives us love
If someone says you're beautiful
Take it to your heart
You may never hear it again...

Why is it so hard to speak out?
To say things that needs to be said..
We often say it can wait
And suddenly it may be too late..

We should all enjoy every moment
That makes us warm
And gives us love
If someone says you're beautiful
Take it to your heart
You may never hear it again...

Why is it so hard to love?
To give away your whole heart..
Why wait to say: I  Love You
Why so afraid to fall apart?

We should all enjoy every moment
That makes us warm
And gives us love
If someone says you're beautiful
Take it to your heart
You may never her it again..

We shouldn't wait to speak out
The words that lie in our heart..
We shouldn't wait to love
Tomorrow it may 
all be too late.......

Enjoy Every Moment W/PJ Project

If you feel like you’re getting old way before your time
And you’re shouting at kids to get off your lawn
And you’re sitting around just doing time
And you’re always complaining about how the good old days were so much better. Maybe you should take a journey to the past. 

The average human  lifespan in 1901 was 46.3
If you'd been around way back then, you'd be history.
If you lived in 1800 your dentist didn’t use Novocain
He  just drilled holes in your teeth while you tried to ignore the pain

If humans are still around in 2093
They’ll be thinking that that the here and now was the place to be 
I guess it’s human nature to think that the past was great
When you’re living in the present there’s so much you can hate

You could ride a bike with a banana seat with no helmet to protect your brain. You didn’t need to go through a metal detector before you got on a plane.

You could smoke cigarettes at work while sitting at your desk
And it didn't matter if your coworkers found the smell grotesque.

They say that if human’s destroy themselves 
The cockroaches will survive
They’ll evolve and gain intelligence and without us they will thrive
And someday they’ll look back to the days when they were sprayed by humans with raid
And they’ll think those were the good old days we had it made

People out there longing for the days when we didn’t have consumer protection
Whenever something went wrong they just chalked it up to natural selection
They say those were the good old days cause at least we were free.
They say those were the good old days cause at least we were free.

Good Old Days ?

DEAD IN THE WATER

1)  YOU CAME TO ME PALLID WITH A HOLLOW-EYED STARE,
WANTING TO BE HURTFUL IS THE APPEARANCE YOU GAVE,
I SENSED YOUR BETRAYAL, YOUR BREECH OF MY TRUST,
HATRED IN YOUR EYES, SILENT AS THE GRAVE,

2)  AS MY HEART WAS BREAKING, YOU QUIETLY SPOKE,
THE WORDS HEARD A THOUSAND TIMES SINCE TIME BEGAN,
“OUR LOVE IS NOW OVER, IT’S TIME WE MOVED ON”,
I STOOD THERE DISSOLVING LIKE HOURGLASS SAND,

TO UTTER THOSE WORDS SEEMED SIMPLE ENOUGH,
SIMPLE AS SWEEPING CLOUDS AWAY,
BREAKING A HEART IS LIKE FALLING IN LOVE,
IT’S EASY FOR SOME SO THEY SAY,
FOR OTHERS IT’S LIKE A SHOT IN THE HEAD,
GUESS I’M DEAD,
IN THE WATER TODAY,

3)  I LEAVE YOU A BROKEN MAN, A MISERABLE THING,
A CRUSHED INDIVIDUAL, UNABLE TO SPEAK,
I’LL DISAPPEAR FROM YOUR LIFE JUST AS YOU WISH,
A VAGABOND POACHER, A CARNIVAL FREAK,

4)  [LEAD]

[MIDDLE 8]

TO UTTER THOSE WORDS SEEMED SIMPLE ENOUGH,
SIMPLE AS SWEEPING CLOUDS AWAY,
BREAKING A HEART IS LIKE FALLING IN LOVE,
IT’S EASY FOR SOME SO THEY SAY,
FOR OTHERS IT’S LIKE A SHOT IN THE HEAD,
GUESS I’M DEAD,
IN THE WATER TODAY,
