JIMI CULLEN

We got a whole lot of shit and a lot of problems to solve

So get up off your ass and do some good
 

Well there’s murder and rape and there’s drugs and there’s crime

We got a whole lot of problems and not enough time

When are we gonna wake up and realize
 

That there’s hundreds and thousands of refugee’s

There’s wars and there’s famines overseas

There’s people dying yeah they got nothing to eat
 

There’s a deformation of human rights

And a western world that ignores the plights

Give guns to children yeah send them out to fight
 

Yeah we gotta help out our brothers

We gotta help out our sisters too

We gotta help one another

We gotta help see each other through it all
 

Well there dying from aids over in Africa

And from simpler things like diahria

Every three seconds a child will pass away
 

And there’s people living on their feet

And there’s police brutality on our street

Fear and paranoia spreading like a disease
 

So what ever happened to Peace, love and unity

Did our ideals they all die with the sixties

Whatever happened to love
 

All we see now is hate war and anarchy

There’s people dying from hunger and poverty

Whatever happened to God
 

There’s no more peace, love, unity, happiness, empathy, liberty, decency, good times, happy times, friendship, kindness, we don’t want a part of it were running out of time.
 

There’s only hate, war, anarchy, poverty, misery, slavery, history, bad times, warning signs, prejudice, lots of it, were at the root of it the whole things gone astray.  

See that woman on the streets

Little babies crying at her feet

Now she’s got no place to go

And it’s looking like it’s about to snow
 

And see that man he’s all alone

In a cardboard box he calls his home

Now it’s getting really cold

And he’s freezing right down to the bone
 

But didn’t I,  Didn’t you

Look away and walk right through
 

Now little Johnny’s got no one

And his days they know no joy, no fun

He’s livin underneath the bridge

In an old industrial fringe yeah

Busy streets and busy lives

Everybody’s rushing, racing for that prize

Well take a deep breath now and realize

That you better start living your life before you die

Well don’t take my word for it cause I could be telling you lie’s

See that woman over there she’s rushin to the shops

And that man over there he’s running back to work

And that little kid there is rushin back to school

Were all his teachers are busy rushin too

Now everybody’s rushing nobody’s taking their time
 

So you better start moving before your left behind

Yeah you better start movin gotta make a dime

Work every day now and every night

You better start moving cause there’s ladders to climb

Well that don’t bother me, no cause I’m happy playin my tunes

Now the other day I met this homeless guy

And he would sit on the street watchin the world go by

He never understood no he couldn’t tell me why

He said everybody is rushin and runnin by

Well he gave a laugh and he said my god man I couldn’t tell you why
 

Oh now and I couldn’t tell you why

You see them looking down there noses at you

Like they’ve got nothing fucking better to do

But just remember you got nothing to prove

And let there bad vibes bounce off of you
 

Cause there never happy with the clothes that you wear

Your group of friends or the colour in your hair

They’ll do there best to try and bring you down

Small minded people living in small towns
 

Small minded people

Small minded people

Small minded people living in small towns

 
Well you know they’re only angry cause they’ve wasted their life

Now they got nothing else to do with their time

You bet your ass they’ll be the first in the line

To have a go and try and twist the knife
 

You see they’ll make up shit and try and spread it around

Give you a bad name all over the town

But what goes round will always come back around to

Small minded people living in small towns

It’s closing time on a Friday night

The rain is pouring down

Black hair and a beautiful eyes

You will be mine
 

I stop and stare at you

From across the room

Black hair and a beautiful smile

You will be mine
 

Do you wanna be with me

 
Now it’s really getting late

I’m running out of time

For your black hair and your beautiful smile

I’ve waited all my life
 

And I can see you staring back

From across the room

Black hair and a beautiful eyes

What will I say to you

When I woke up this morning

My head hurt like hell

And when I rolled over I nearly fell out of my bed

Well my mouth was so dry

And my brain was stone dead

Can anything stop this pain in my head

Cause I stayed out drinking

Last night really late

And I didn’t get home now till a quarter to eight

But I wish I’d come home earlier

Cause my head is in bit’s

And to top it all off now, oh I got the shits
 

It’s those hangover blues

Well my clothes are all mucky

And they’re covered in grass

On my way home last night I must have fell on my ass

But I can’t really remember no

And I can’t say for sure

Just why there’s a traffic cone on my bedroom floor
 

It must be those hangover blues
 

So please keep the noise down

Cause I’m really in pain

And I need some water yeah

Hook it up to my veins

Well my bodies all tender

And my stomachs in knots

And that chicken curry I had on the way home last night is comin back up.
 

It’s those hangover blues
 

Well I’ll never drink again

Oh I swear that it’s true

And it’s different than last week when I said the same thing too

So if your going out yeah oh out for a pint

Don’t tell me about it no cause I’m stayin home tonight

Far away from those hangover blues

Well you know it seems kinda funny and strange to me

That people can have so many different beliefs

It’s like there’s a different Religion for every single day

Now there’s a different fate in every country

Yeah there’s a different fate for all and sundry

Hell you’ll be able to pick em up at the supermarket any day now
 

Well now the Catholics they believe in adam and eve

And those Muslim fellow they don’t eat much meat

But those Buddhist guys are always looking for that inner peace

Now while they’re all off in their churches and temples

Yeah they’re lookin for kinda redemption

Well I’d much rather be home just lying in my bed………….eating steak
 

So don’t ask me what my fate is

Cause the whole things makin my head spin

Cause there’s so bloody many that I just don’t know

And if you look at the birdies up in the sky

Well they aren’t worried about the afterlife

And hell they seem to be having a pretty damn good time
 

So in the end you know don’t distress

Whether you’re a hindu a jew or an atheist

Cause we’ll never know for sure just which one is right

And who knows what when at the end

When we’re all gone and we’re all long dead

Just where we’ll be for all eternity

Well will I see you and will you see me

Well there’s a couple of people I’d rather not see

Well I wouldn’t mind seeing you and you

Hell I think I seen enough of you already
 

So If your Religion don’t suit now it’s easy to change

After all you know we got such a wide range

And if your gods too vengeful why don’t you try mine

Well you see I don’t worry about it too much though

Cause I’ll find out son enough when I go

But for now ah I think I’ll just be a bird
 

So this here is the end of my song

Well I hope I didn’t keep you all for too long

But there’s a couple of things I’d like to leave you all with

So don’t spend you whole life tryin to be saved

Cause you’ll be spending a long time in your grave

And there’s no Guarantee that there’s anything more

So at the Judgment day if you were wrong

You know you can always tell the Lord that It was my song

Sure  don't they blame us musicians for everything nowadays anyway

Well he slapped you in the face again

This time it will leave a mark

Yeah you’ll hide it behind sunglasses

Even though the days are dark

And you think no one will notice it but it’s as obvious as hell

Cause everyone knows what he does to you

He puts you through such hell
 

Now he held your arm on the cooker ring

But your getting used to the pain

Of your battered and bruised body

Your broken ribcage

And he doesn’t really mean much harm

You tell your self again

But as the tears run from your eyes

The blood runs from you head
 

So Get out while you can

Or your gonna end up dead

Yeah you already have a broken heart from all the things he said
 

Now your lying to yourself you know

When you say he really cares

But even though he punches you

And he grabs you by the hair

Now he’s cut you off from all your friends

He says you don’t deserve em

He makes you fell like your one foot tall

So he can feel like he’s ten

Non Conformist mother fuckers

Making bombs and killing children

You so hard yeah your so tough

Well you make me sick you fucking cunts
 

And I hate you with a passion

You don’t really care about the world

And I pray to god that your going out of fashion

When elections are back around
 

Destroy their homes yeah you destroy their lives

Your killing husbands, mothers and wives

I hope your happy now and I hope your proud

You mother fuckers are going down

And I told her, I said I’m fine when I’m with you baby

So I asked her, would she stay tonight

And she told me, she said there’s no point in goin now

Oh and I wish that I

Could hold you now until the end of time

All my life has been leading up to this one night
 

So as I kiss your lips and I hold you tight

And look up at the stars tonight

I can’t help wonder why but is this our last Goodnight
 

I said I remember back when we first met

And you told me you said you liked the way I held myself

So I asked you if you’d stay that night

And you told me, you said there's no point in Leavin

Hey little Katie now don’t you be afraid

It’s a big bad world out there but you will be o.k.

And anytime that you are scared

Just look for me and I’ll be there
 

Hey little Katie now don’t you shed a tear

Hey little Katie you know there’s nothing to fear

And anytime that you cry

I’ll be there by your side
