Make Me Happy

This is the story of a stereotypical couple
Told from the point of view of the woman
I bring you your coffee
Strong, black, just a sprinkling of cinnamon, yeah
We check the newsfeed
Can you believe what's happening in the world today?
Will you take me out to dinner later?
I wanna show off that little red dress you got me
We'll come home having had just a little too much to drink
I wanna show you just how much you mean to me
Over and over and over and over again
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Make me happy
Let's go on a trip together
See all those places we've always wanted to see
Like and extended vacation
We could do Europe, just you and me
We'll go to Rome and Venice and Paris and Prague, and Amsterdam
Bring back souvenirs of every city
But you better not be making eyes at those skinny young girls over there
I know how you like 'm bright eyed and pretty
Over and over and over and over again
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me how you can't live without me
Make me happy
Make me happy
Make me happy

Shut Up and Listen

Don't take to me of love
When it sounds like an attack
Love is not suspicious
It seeks no blame
It is only love
So don't talk to me of love
Don't talk to me of peace
When the war is in your head
Peace seeks no conflict
It needs no treaties
It is simply peace
So don't talk to me of peace
Don't talk to me of god
When you haven't tasted bliss
God is only love
God is only peace
God is only god
So don't talk to me of god
Don't talk to me of guilt
When you can't say you're sorry
Ask for forgiveness
Forgive yourself
It will set you both free
So don't talk to me of guilt
Don't talk to me of god
Don't talk to me of peace
Don't talk to me of love
Don't talk to me of freedom
With your mind trapped in a cage
Freedom can't be caged
It can't be granted
It's a state of mind
So Don't talk to me of freedom
Don't talk to me of music
When you can't feel the sound
Music must be felt
It must be lived
It is all there is
So don't talk to me of music
Don't talk to me of freedom
Don't talk to me of god
Don't talk to me of peace
Don't talk to me of love
Don't talk to me at all
Just shut up and listen
Just listen
Listen

the Dance of the Species
03:53
|
|||

To be a man is to be obsessed with women
Pretty much that's what we think about
You can hide it, channel it, be a good boy
But you gotta spread the seed about
To be a woman is to wanna keep your man
Keep him true and keep him close
There are many tools you can learn to use
Love is only one of those
It's the dance of the species
May I have this dance with you?
Can't promise you forever
Let's enjoy it while we do
Many of our greatest leaders
Womanizers through and through
With power comes temptation
Spiritual leaders too
Through the years I've learned to curb it
Hide it, channel it, be a good boy
Even now I'm getting older
It still rules much of my joy
It's the dance of the species
May I have this dance with you?
Can't promise you tomorrow
Let's enjoy it while we do
The dance of the species
'Go forth and multiply'
With so many of us all over the world
Can't help bu wonder why

Ride the Breeze

I've got nothing left to prove
I've got nothing left to hide
I've got nowhere left to go
What I do have is my pride
How the world has all gone mad
How the world has lost its mind
Common sense it all but gone
All confused is what I find
Yet my heart is filled with love
And my mind can rest in peace
I've got nothing left to prove
All I do is ride the breeze
All I do is ride the breeze
