  2. 157 Riverside Avenue

    We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday
    Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do
    157 Riverside Avenue.

    Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin'
    So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
    Not enough time, too many things to do.

    We met a young girl on Main street, wanted to just pass her by
    She was homely, so lonely, She said, "Can I make love to you."
    We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue.

    It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say.
    So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
    At 157 Riverside Avenue.

  3. Anti Establishment Man

    Standing by the roadside
    Old newspaper in my hand.
    Reading yesterday's headlines,
    Nothing new, I said it's all the same.
    Everywhere!

    I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting
    Twenty five years of anticipating
    I've seen changes in my land

    People I'm here to tell you,
    I've been around since the world began.
    Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,
    I'm an anti-establishment man.

    I'm tired of your treating
    All of my children the same.
    Everywhere!
    Spending all that money
    On a stupid war in Vietnam
    (When we need it at home)

    People I'm here to tell you,
    I think it's 'bout time that the world began (all over!)
    Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,
    I'm an anti-establishment man.

  4. Lay Me Down

    I've played your game
    And I've played it well.
    I'll be another fool
    To hang upon your wall.
    I laid my heart out
    Like an open book.
    It's a simple thing and don't take much
    To crack it open and bleed.

    Lay me down.
    Lay me down when you're through with me.
    Lay me down.
    Let me bleed when you're through with me.
    Don't let me think you're wrong,
    Just let me fall down.
    I'll pick myself up again.
    It's the kindest thing you can do for me,
    So, woman, won't you lay me down.

    I lied to myself.
    Tried to believe in you.
    But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
    You bring things out
    Just to bring me down.
    Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
    Til my eyes can't see any good.
    Yeah!

  5. Sophisticated Lady

    Sophisticated Lady try'n to change my ways
    just because you're caught in your social maze.
    I think it's about time that you realize
    your money and your power's got you mesmerized.

    Pretty Lady.
    Get Back.
    Pretty Lady.
    Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on,
    you're anybody's baby when your mama's gone.

    Educated lady with your college degree,
    amazes me why you just can't see.
    Learned ev'rything from your books on the shelf,
    but no one ever taught you how to think for yourself.

    Pretty Lady.
    Get Back.
    Pretty Lady.
    Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on,
    you're anybody's baby when your mama's gone.

    Sophisticated Lady , take a lesson from me,
    I can help you be what you want to be.
    Together we'll see many brighter days,
    if it takes forever, gonna change your ways. Pretty Lady.
    Sweet Thing.
    Pretty Lady.
    Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on,
    you're anybody's baby when your mama's gone.

  6. 5 Men were killed today

    Five men were killed today,
    Leaving five wives as widows.
    Six men they tried to kill.
    Maybe one will live to raise his son.

    I've tried so hard
    To tell you what went wrong.
    Been fighting for so many years
    For something so very wrong.
    When will man ever learn
    That happiness is his to be earned?
