American Nightmare
S.Wayne, Ramon, A.Black, T.Wonder
No more bibles in the classroom
Still they say in God we trust
We must separate all church & state
That was the speech they tried to teach us
I wonder if God will ever
Damn Uncle Sam
Father to Father
Brother to Brother
We got to show each other a better way,
Mother to Mother
Sister to Sister
We got to teach your babies how to pray
Well it's 21 for alcohol, but it's
18 if duty calls, you get an M-16
Now you’re getting shipped off to war
He went to Iraq for God and the flag
But he came back in a body bag
And his momma don't even know what
Her baby dies for, an I.E.D
Underneath the hum-vee
Oils up ten bucks by now
But he's long since
Been in the ground
I seen another home town
Hero fell today
It’s just another ticker tape
Parade and a bunch of bouquets
By his grave and a meal fit
For a king down at the church house
And they had ole glory flying high

Apology
S.Wayne, Ramon, A.Black, T.Wonder
Well I apologize for the promise I made
to you
I guess I didn’t think it through
I’m
seeing that your tears don’t lie
I didn’t stick around to watch our love grow wild
Yes
it’s been quite a while, my regrets not hard to
find
I was a lonely boy, I never had no love
I thank God above for keeping me alive
I made mistakes along the way
And all them games that
we played
What more can I say oh baby, I apologize
It was a sin for
me to talk you out of your virginity
It never occurred to me you were my blessing in disguise
Well I must have been blind to have never of been
able to see
That you gave me your dignity now I look back and cry
I’ll
never see you again but girl I wish you could know.
That I think you were the one for me, I never should of
let you go
Ohh ohh im sorry im so sorry

And every other thing I could think of
Well I apologize I was a lonely boy yea
You thought every word was real

Heavy Reign
S.Wayne, T.Wonder
Well I'm setting here blue
Thinking thru the memory of you
Wondering where I went wrong
We used to be so strong, it didn’t last long
When it began we were best friends
But then, you decided that it should end
I gave you my heart on a silver platter
But none of that matters
I felt your heart, I felt your soul, and
I felt your hunger
I was your curiosity, I was your wonder
I felt your passion, I felt your lust, and I've lived in
shame
Still I bled the blood off of the
Flood of pain, from your heavy reign
And it’s a long hard ride
Lord I tried to get to the other side
And momma says,
Don’t give her your heart if she doesn’t keep
promises
And what used to be, my family
Is nothing more than a memory?
Oh lord I cried; now I’m married to suicide
I felt your heart, I felt your soul, I
felt your hunger
I was your curiosity I was your wonder
I felt your passion, I felt your lust, and I’ve lived
in shame
Still I bled the blood off of the
Flood of pain, from your heavy reign
Ohhh ohhhh you and your heavy reign
And it’s a long hard ride
Lord I tried to get to the other side
And momma said
Don’t give up your heart if she doesn’t keep
promises
And what used to be my family
Is nothing more than a memory?
Oh lord I cried, I’m still married to suicide
I felt your heart, I felt your soul, I
felt your hunger
I was your curiosity, I was your wonder
I felt your passion, I felt your lust, I feel your pain
Still I bled the blood off of the
Flood of pain from your
heavy reign

My Dear
Ramon
Yesterdays gone my dear
I believe that the suns gone down on us my dear
It’s clear were here at the end of a long long line
I've got something new
Only time will tell the worth of it
Did I pay too much for the new
But one thing that I do know for sure
Things will never be the
same
Things will never be the same
When you look in the mirror my dear
The reflection you see is not your own my dear
Your eyes, your hair, the make-up and your skin
I heard you found something new
Only time will tell the worth of it
Did you pay too much for the new
But one thing that I do know for sure
Things will never be the
same again
Things will never be the same again
From this day on my dear
Everything that we've known has gone away from us
No more calls to talk, calls, or make-ups or my tears
We've both tried something new
Only time will tell the worth of it
Did we pay too much for the new
But one thing that I do know for sure
Things will never be the same again
Things will never be the same again

No Longer Addicted
T.Wonder, S.Wayne, Ramon, A.Black
All I ever wanted was to be with you and
spend some time
You always act like it’s a crime, but I don’t think so
Sitting here all by myself, wondering if you’ll ever call
You say you don’t need me at all, Well baby I don’t think so
You said some words I couldn’t believe
You turned around and started to leave
Is this feeling worth the fight?
Your out the door and gone all night
When you return it’s not the same
I wish that you could feel this pain
Your silly game is out of control, baby I
don’t think
so
Every since you changed your mind
And took your love away
Baby now that you’re gone
It’s like the pain has lifted
I’m no longer addicted
To that love
That used to set me free
It’s all self-inflicted
Maybe I should just stick it out and see
But I know that love has no guarantee
I never could quite figure it out
You always get the benefit of the doubt
Still you find some way to make me insecure
You’re staring at me thru those lying eyes
I guess that’s why it comes as no surprise
Now you say your letting go
Baby I don’t think so

Perfect Man
A.Black, Ramon
I woke up this morning
With a pounding in my head
Thinking about our fight last night
And all them crazy things I said
I wish that I could take it back
And start everything new
But I know that can’t be done
That’s why I’m feeling blue
Baby..
I’m not a perfect man
I’m just/still doing the best I can
I hoping you will understand
That baby I’m not a perfect man
I want our lives to be better
So put your hand in mine
I’ll take you out to dinner girl
We’ll get your favorite wine
I’m gonna buy you some roses
I’ll even sing you a song
Even if I have to beg and plead
I’ll be here all year long
Baby remember..
If I would just listen
To half the words that you say
Maybe we wouldn’t have to fight
And live our lives in disarray
I just want you to forgive me
The way you always do
So when you wrap your arms around me
And say “Baby I love you”
But remember..

Thicker Than Mudd
T.Wonder, S.Wayne, Ramon, A.Black
You seen me smiling, but you look the other
way
Its time to say goodbye, cause I refuse to let you play
I get so lonely,I get so lonely
As you try to bring your hurt down on me
You left me lonely so lonely yeah
As you try to bring your shame down on me
I looked into your eyes and I seen your
discrace
You looked back at me as a tear rolled down your face
And you tried to justify your actions with your fatal attraction
Don’t you
know blood is thicker than mudd
From beginning to end through thick and
thin
I gave my heart till death do us part
Ohh and for better or worse , Im tired of living this curse
Im through with you
cause your love is not true

Too Easy For You
T. Wonder
If I said, that I want
Could it happen? Yes it must
I wanna make love sting you, bruise you
Sweeter smile, sweet caress
Kiss you with my dying breath
Love it, taste it, tease it, crave it
Spit it out, you love to waste it
Luvin’ you’re
sticky mess
I don’t know if I can ever put you down
Your burnin’ my hand, walkin’ on broken glass
I am yeah
Shake me up, baby knock me down, all
I am into the ground
I’m powerless before you, true
Weakness standing at
your door
Cannot ask for anymore
You lay before me and I see right through you, see
you
Have it here right in your hand, something you can’t
understand
Pick it up, put it down, kiss it, throw
it to the ground
Too easy for you, too easy
for you
Wake me, take me, can’t escape
me
Lovin’ you, it feels like drowning
Your costs is high, cannot afford
To pay your prices anymore
I Breath your air, I breath it deep
Suffocating in my sleep
Lost again when I awake
At your neck, I start to squeeze

Substance of Satisfaction
T.Wonder, S.Wayne, Ramon, A.Black, OTW
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could have
someone to love me
And wouldn’t it be nice if I could have a house on the hill
And wouldn’t it be nice if I was sitting on a million dollars
And wouldn’t it be nice to know that I’m
someone for real
So I say this crazy life of mine is way
out of control
This crazy life of mine is the only life I know
Well there aint gonna be no turning back cause we done come to far
Well I guess that’s just the price we’ll pay to be a super star
I say yeah yeah to be a superstar
To be a supertstar yeah yeah
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have
a Hollywood contract
And wouldn’t it be nice if we could play on MTV
And wouldn’t it be nice if I was sipping on a cold Budweiser
And wouldn’t
it be nice to know were living wild and free
Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a peaceful
world to live in
And wouldn’t it be nice if we could find a way to get along
And wouldn’t it be nice if we replaced hate with a little love
And wouldn’t it be nice yeah that’s
the reason I wrote this song

Until Then
S.Wayne, T.Wonder
It seems like it was only yesterday
And soon you’ll be going on your own way
And aint it funny how the time can pass us by
Oh how I sacrificed for you
And it’s amazing how fast my baby’s
grown
And raising a child takes it toll when your all alone
And watching you play outside in the front yard
It made me try so hard for you
Son you got to keep on keeping on
The time will come when I’ll be dead and gone
So Always hold your head up high
Never let them see you cry and try
To make yourself a better man
You stand up for what you believe in
Someday soon son I’ll be leaving
Until then I’ll be here when you
come home
I’ll take the blame for all your
pain
I was young and dumb and caught up in the games
But you taught me responsibility
It wasn’t always easy for me
