Manda Propaganda

The nickel dropped when I was on
My way beyond the rubicon
What did I do…?

And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
What can I do…?

I’m a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin’, kickin’, cursin’
What should I do…?

Ooh, after all the folderol,
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do…?

Can’t take a good day without a bad one
Don’t feel just to smile until I’ve had one
Where did I learn…?

I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where’s the turn…?

I don’t want a home, I’d ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give a turn…?

Oh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn…?

I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face

Oh, mister, wait until you see
What I’m gonna be…

I’ve got a plan, a demand and it just began
And if you’re right, you’ll agree

Here’s coming, a better version of me
Here it comes, a better version of me

Here it comes… a better version of me!

It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you’re born to run
It’s so hard to just slow down
So don’t be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town

I’ll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I’ll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in

You used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you’re still out there
And you’re like you used to be
We’ll have ourselves a time
And we’ll dance till the morning sun
And we’ll let the good times come in
And we won’t stop till we’re done

We’ll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We’ll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And I’ll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And oh I’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

We’ll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We’ll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again…

I loved living inside you
On your first floor
When I occupied the rainbow
Up above your door

And you were laying right next to me
We had that talk from before
But then where did you go
When your heart took the road

No you’ll never meet a mother fucker quite like me
I could’ve given you everything

No you’ll never meet a mother fucker quite like me
I could’ve given you everything…

Well, it’s alright, I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways
it’s alright I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways

It’s alright, I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways
It’s alright, I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways

No you’ll never a mother fucker quite like me
I could’ve given you everything…

You know, you know,
You’ll never meet a mother fucker quite like me
I could’ve given you everything

Well, it’s alright, I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways
It’s alright I’m okay
And I’m just fine if I say fine!

It’s alright, I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways
It’s alright, I’m okay
I’m just fine anyways

You know you’ll never meet a mother fucker quite like me
I could of given you everything…
Yeah yeah

Through the fury and the storm
Keep me still, keep me warm
Give me calm, give me peace, give me quiet

When the noise begins to grow
Stroke my brow so I’ll know
That I have, amidst the riot, peace and quiet

When the thunder starts to roll
Let your spirit take my soul
Give me calm, give me peace, give me quiet

Let me pray through the day
And the night, so I’ll say
All I need is a diet of peace and quiet

Peace and quiet is my creed
Peace and quiet’s all I need
Give me calm, give me peace, give me quiet

Take your noise and your strife
Leave me here with my life
Oh dear friends, you should try it, peace and quiet

So lets all clap our hands
Praise the Lord for his stance
For a world of calm a world of peace and quiet…

Peace and quiet! Peace and quiet!
Peace and quiet! Peace and quiet!
Peace and quiet! Peace and quiet!
PEACE AND QUIET!!!
