All you good people - Look around 
You better get on board - whoa 
Listen to voices - make your everyday choices 
And get on board 

Open your eyes - and see for yourself 
There’s chaos in town 
All eyes are watching - But who are the suspects 
Bad voodoo around 

Is there a difference - in the people you meet 
C’mon get on board - whoa 
Look at their faces - would you ever trade places 
C’mon get on board 

Open your eyes - and see for yourself 
There’s chaos in town 
All eyes are watching - But who are the suspects 
Bad voodoo around 

Roll out the fat - That big fat cat 
Cause the greedy - are still in greed 
Roll out the fat - yeah that big fat cat 
Cause the needy - are still in need 

All you good people - Look around 
You better get on board - whoa 
Listen to voices - make your everyday choices 
And get on board 

Who’s gonna split 
and who’s gonna run 
Who’s gonna fight 
and say hey - they won 

Open your eyes - and see for yourself 
There’s chaos in town 
All eyes are watching - But who is the suspect 
Bad voodoo around

Get On Board

He wants to go
from rags to riches
He’s a diligent - worker out there
He’s digging ditches
Someday he’s gonna be
a millionaire
Living a life of luxury
Without a care
Ooo, Ooo
Ooo, Ooo

Says he’s always been
a friend to Jesus
Believes in the gospel
and all - it has to teach us
As he holds on tight to his
imaginative glory
As the walls come crumbling down
One more chapter to - his story
Ooo, Ooo
Ooo, Ooo

But worry, yeah worry
It takes over his mind
And makes it hard for him - to find
Where he placed that dream - he had
When it all turns sour and - goes bad
And he’s gone mad

He thought about loving
He thought about direction
He thought he had a dreamlife
He thought he had perfection
He thought he had everything
According to plan
He had his kingdom
And God knows - he was the
Ooo...

But worry, yeah worry
It takes over his mind
And makes it hard
for him to find
Where he placed
that dream he had
When it all turns sour
And goes bad
And he goes mad

FAWM 2018 - Rags To Riches

Slave Nation
Rita Witter

VERSE 1
It’s easy to be hard
It’s easy to be cold
It’s easy to turn off
and believe in the old
Trudging that steel track
Yeah, time after time
Holding onto old thoughts
As you squeeze hard and steady
onto that last dime
Oh oh, and thinking its fine
Oh yeah, who’s towing the line
As you take and you say
It’s all mine, It’s all mine, Its all mine

VERSE 2
You sold your heart
And you sold it for the money
Took all you could
Left none and kept running
You left the broken
And the trampled behind
Through the chaos
Separated, conquered,
And poisoned the mind
Oh oh, and poisoned the mind
Uh huh, oh yeah, and poisoned the mind
Oh oh, and poisoned the mind

CHORUS
I won’t be part of it, to help create this Slave Nation
I won’t be part of it,
I won’t be part of it, to help create this Slave Nation
I won’t be part of it,
I won’t be part of it

BRIDGE
Its time for a new world, and for a new glory
Time to write a new chapter and start a new story
Time to find some peace in this land, yeah
Got to find some peace in this land
CHORUS
Hey
I won’t be part of it, to help create this Slave Nation
I won’t be part of it,
I won’t be part of it, to help create this Slave Nation
I won’t be part of it

Slave Nation

South of the border, a bad deal goes down... one is left standing.


I Live in a colorful World
Don't you?

What goes up, must come down
What goes in, must come out
I live in a colorful World
I live in a colorful World 
I live in a colorful World
Don't you?
Don't you?

What goes up, might spiral down
What goes in, gets chewed around
I live in a colorful World
I live in a colorful World 
I live in a colorful World
Don't you?
Don't you?

I saw a big black spider on the wall
I saw a man six point six feet tall
He was beautiful
I saw the dark sky part to light
I sang a song and got it right
Aint that beautiful?

I live in a colorful World
I live in a colorful World 
I live in a colorfull World
Don't you?
Don't you?

I live in a colorful World
I live in a colorful World 
I live in a colorfull World
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?


...Sun sets,
in the West.

Colorful World

FREIGHT TRAIN

VERSE 1
I’ve seen this freight train coming
From as far as a mile away
I can’t stop it from running
She won’t listen to what I say   
So I wrote that girl a letter
Tried to put it into words
She is sick and I want her better
As she constantly is driving forward

CHORUS
Into the abyss
She leaves with a kiss
She hasn’t had enough of this
Oh no, 
Listen to that freight train whistle blow

BRIDGE
When will the screaming end (ahhh)
When will the listening begin (ahhh)
I’ve lost lovers and friends (ahhh)
Through the years
And it always ends this way (ahhh)
Uhhh huh (ahhh)
And words, my words
A jumbled mess
Never to be heard (ahhh)
Lean in disarray (ahhh)

CHORUS
Into the abyss
She leaves with a kiss
She hasn’t had enough of this
Oh no, 
Listen to that freight train whistle blow

VERSE 2
After she read my letter
She said Oh my dear old friend
I love the wisdom of your spirit
But my words she still would bend
I told her that I would miss her
We both know where this will end
I can’t watch this train wreck happen
One more time
Over and over and over again

CHORUS
Into the abyss
She leaves with a kiss
She hasn’t had enough of this
Oh no, 
Listen to that freight train whistle blow

TAG
Oh no
Listen to that freight train
Listen to that freight train
Listen to that freight train…
