David Kauzlarich by American Dream?
American Dream?
This song is about how the poor are shut out of the American Dream.
Verse 1: They say peace comes from the inside
That's much easier said than done
Especially when you're standing on the outside,
But when no one wants to see you
And no one would want to be you
It becomes quite clear, it's all just a dream
Verse 2: They say in love you'll find the answers
Once again, that's easy to say
Especially when you're the first in line
But when no one wants to see you
And no one would want to be you
It becomes quite clear, it's all just a dream
Chorus.
yeah, it's all just a façade
And we're caught in between
What's real and what is seen
It's all just a dream
and we're caught in between
Solo
They'll say you just haven't tried hard enough
Your opportunity will arise
But platitudes like that just don't support the facts
when no one wants to see you
And no one would want to be you
It becomes quite clear, it's all just a dream
Chorus

Haven't we been over this? by David Kauzlarich
Haven’t we been over this?
This song is about my frustration with the war on Iraq and Bush’s reckless decision making
Verse 1
Let me clear my head on this
Take a moment to reflect on it
It hasn’t been high on my list before
I feel more like a fool than I have ever before
My impression is that it doesn’t matter anymore
Chorus
Can you follow through?
And make this all seem worthwhile
Because of you
They say the sky just might die
Are you a junkie too?
Sleepin’ off the April moon
I’m done with you
Haven’t we been over this before?
Verse 2
Takin’ chances without thinkin’
Thinkin’ them through
Is no what I accustmoned, yeah, to do
I feel like a stooge again,
Clearin’ paths for the pain to begin
I guess it doesn’t really matter anymore
Chorus
Solo

Far away (Escape from Darfur) by David Kauzlarich
Far away (Escape from Darfur)
can you take me far away
from this place I’ll take anything
i’ll stay, you go
they can have what’s left of me
you must swear that you’ll
always remember me, so
don’t take turns, or go slow
just turn your back on me
so don’t stop, hell no
but always remember me
at times a clear view of an open field
will do you well
in a place that seems, that seems
like a living hell, so
don’t stop, hell no
just turn your back on me, but
sweet dreams at night is when you’ll
best remember me.
can you take me far away
from this place I’ll take anything
