AMERICA
Give us your tired and poor
There's plenty room for more
We welcome all - to our Shore...

Is you an Irish man?
And do you know the Score?
We stand for liberty,
Freedom, equality,
And who could ask for More?
America, America, America...
America, America, America...
Take your piece pie,
Get it home and find.
The dream's right out your front door.
Well, everybody's rich
The streets have all been fixed
If you believe the folk - Lore.
America, America, America...
America, America, America...
We got materialists,
We got imperialists,
Oh, and a Credit-Plan...Yeah
We got the finest schools
More academic fools
Who think that science is the only way.
America, America, America...
America, America, America...
America, America, America...
America, America, America...
We buy those Ad campaigns,
Full of tired cliches-
We've got our vanities -Down.
We give our candidates,
The right to ruin our states,
Free lunch in every -Town.
Now all the Japanese
Are buying property
For just a yen - A yard.
As far as poverty,
Well,there's a remedy
If you will only work -Hard.
America, America, America...
Land of Oz

Don't mind the trash.
Oh, say can you see, Me?
By the dawns early light?
PROFFESSIONAL LIARS
Well they, talk fast,
And they, sell junk
And they make ya deals
You can't pass up
Well they don't lie
The y just omit
And they'll cut you in
For a percent...
And we're all tools
And we're all pawns
And we're all lost
In the big con...
The Professional liars
Business as usual...
Proffesional liars
It's all in who you know...
They 'd know no shame
In their greed game
They find loopholes
For everything...
And you have to smile
And you have to trust
And you have to pay
All those legal costs...
They say anything
that you wanna hear
While they mutter truths
At a whisper...
And they're never seeen
And they're never caught
It was a small clause
In your contract...
And we're all marks
And we're all pawns
And we're all lost
In the big con...
The Professional liars!

He's out to lunch...er dinner...er
and he's in a meeting,...
Can I take a message?
MYTH
You're never
gonna write
You're never gonna call
You'll never think about me-
Cause sex means nothing!
You never lose
or win
You never feel a thing
It was nothing but a fling- to you
Sex means nothing!
Let's Throw
that Myth away!
Throw that Myth away!
Throw that Myth away!
Before you hurt someone you love...
You said we
ought to meet
Maybe we could dine
Catch a movie sometime...
But sex means nothing!
You'll say you're
gonna write
You'll say you're gonna call
We both know that's a lie
Cause sex means nothing!~
Sex means nothing!
Let's Throw
that Myth away!
Throw that Myth away!
Throw that Myth away!
Before you hurt
Someone you love...
Someone you love...
You promised
you would write
You're said you'd probably call
How funny that seems now...
Cause sex means nothing!
Let's Throw
that Myth away!
Throw that Myth away!
Throw that Myth away!
Before you hurt Someone you love...
Someone you love...

FAIRY TALE
Strange are
the destinies of common people,
So full of myth and mystery
We all begin with something very special
Then chase the same, stale, fantasy.
A
Fairy Tale...
Fairy Tale...
I find a maiden
blessed with grace and beauty
She wants that kingdom by the sea
She wants a knight that seeks for Eldorado
Oh, but she rarely wants me...
Fairy Tale...
Fairy Tale...
Why live a dream
life?
Why live a dream life?
She wants a
palace,gowns and jewels
She wants to dine with Dukes and Kings
I want to know who wrote this sugar-coated story...
Who filled our heads with all these things...
These Fairy
Tales...
Once upon a
time
I never thought to fail
Don't want to be another
Dull Fairy Tale...
Strange are
the destinies of common people,
So full of myth and mystery-
We all begin with something very special
Then chase the same, stale, fantasy.
Fairy Tale...
Fairy Tale...
Why live a dream
life?
Why live a dream life?...

(ACT
TWO)
MAKE A WISH
You need more control
You need a pot of gold
So make a wish, make a wish
Why live in misery,
when there's a lottery
Make a wish, make a wish
You can't do without,
so let your genie out
And make a wish, Make a wish...
Rub that ticket,
fill in that blank
Your whole life floating
on a postage stamp
You gotta win big,
you gotta win right
Sweepstakes make you rich
overnight.
Get your hopes up high,
put your money down
Odds don't matter
if the purse is round
Nobody works,
it don't make sense
Real estate pigs just raise the rents.
Why live in misery
when there's such luxury?
Make a wish, Make a wish...
It's every poor mans prayer
To be a millionaire-
So make a wish, Make a wish...
Game show host make you good
deal
Trade your soul for an automobile
Beggars can't make it rich overnight
The cards are stacked, aint in your favor
The bottom of the deck comes sooner than later
You need a second job,
another credit card
So make a wish, make a wish.

Tried to make a success.
Tried to make it last.
Tried to make you Happy, Happy
All That Happy faded fast.
Work and slave and save, And
put it all away, And hope someday,
The debts are paid, You'll have it made, And you'll be saved,
From work and still, You slave and save, And hope someday,
The bills are paid, The blues will fade, But still you fail,
You don't make bail, And all because-
You couldn't make her Happy....

FOOLS GOLD
We all save
Fools Gold
Here Today...
Gone Tomorrow
Just bury it somewhere
And hope that it's still there...
Fools Gold....
We Set Our Sights On-
Fools Gold.
We Share The Rights To-
Fools Go]d.
The Right To Fight For.-
Fools Gold...
Just bury it somewhere
You better say your prayers...
We're Hypnotised by-
Fools Gold.
Many Die For...
Fools Gold.
Steal and Lie For-
Fools Gold.
Give All Their Time To...
Fools Gold.
Don't Put Your Trust...
Fools Gold.

And hope that it's still there...
So take your riches
And pile 'em high
Shinny mountains
Fill the sky...
Generations are cheaply sold
To the miser merchants
of Fools Gold
Store your treasures
Store them well
MOUNTAIN
Not all posession's the same
Some are made better than yours
And after accumulation
You'll simply forget what they're for.
I see it out there on the streets
Every one's trading for more
We carry our jewels like defeats
And stack them all around the door...
Building with both hands raised
Higher than heads can gaze.
All necks are craning back
To view the Mountain....
And the Mountain fills your senses like a dream
And the Mountain is an Icon for the need-
And the Mountain stands above you like a God
Like a God.
The shadows grows longer each day
They fill every line in the face
Right now it seems far away
How long to keep it at bay...
And when the rubbles cleared
What image will appear?
The rocks are falling down
There is your Mountain...
And the Mountain lives forever in your mind
And the mountain stands for what you hope to find...
There is your Mountain...
You have your Mountain...
THE
END
