Stark/spare and barely there The ghetto moves beyond the knowledge Or even consideration Of the upper-middle riddles That just don't care Stark/spare an' tell me who cares Slumming ain't the answer To the cancer poverty That so many of the poor Slip into degree Jesus walked among them Pausing to refresh Finally giving to the point of blood To share their emptiness Mark and Teresa Godspeed to you Suffering in love When you don't have too And God have mercy On the rest of us to 'Cause when we shut out the poor Lord, we're shutting out you Jesus walked among them Pausing to refresh Finally giving to the point of blood To share their emptiness And we must walk among them For we can do no less Than what the Saviour taught us By his life and by his death For the truth is on our tables The crumbs are on our floors We must give while we are able Both Lazarus and our judge are at the door

Who needs rock'n roll Who needs song savin' your soul Plastic musik plastic food Cellophane tunes for that Synthetic mood You got your inspiration from a vending machine It's an audio starvation diet Mannquins on a shopping spree Who cares if you like it BUY IT ! It's everywhere I go It programs my soul It tells me what I need It takes me the lead-lead-lead Elevator Muzik It's a capital idea Elevator musik Programmed just for you Elevating sales at the speed of sound Soon you'll be shopping in sensuround Controlling your wallet Coaxing your soul The corporate big brother It's an overload Get off that conveyor That treadmill of persuasion Jesus brings the light into every situation Elevator musik - It's a failure in heaven Elevator musik - It's a subtile kinda leaven What this world needs Is music that feeds Not elevator musik Not elevator musik Dump elevator musik Get rid of elevator musik

I like your name I like your face Are you a charter member of the human race Are you ever frustrated by the things you see Does it make you sad or upset like me Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand With love in your eyes you confront the lies The double standards and the party ties My one affiliation isn't with your name To share your kingdom and to share your shame Lord, You are Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand I have chosen the narrow road Lord, You gave me such an easy load I look at Your cross and I see Your love... Lord, You are Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand

I heard Your song on the radio It stole my heart and it won't let go I'm telling You it was so unreal You know exactly how I feel It said that You were the Only One Who understood where I was coming from You put me together and You tore me apart You told me the truth about my broken heart And, I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my mind All of my friends say I'm going mad I guess I thought they might understand But nothing I do, and nothing I say Can make Your melody go away I sat there on my sinking ship I wrung my hands and I bit my lip Staring at my shoes and my ball and chain While on and on your music played And, I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my mind I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my mind The news is spreading all over town You tore all of my road blocks down I can hardly eat, or hardly sleep I'm over my head in a Love so deep I heard what You said, You told me what can be And then You left it up to me But once I realized it was true Jesus how could I let You And, I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my mind I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my I can't (I can't) Get You outta my mind Outta my mind........
The Chair 5:06

Paralyzing facts countless diseases Semi-mobile, semi-useless, sub-human So many startled eyes say "only an occasional ray of light" But feel free to subtract any ray of hope. Disabled confined labeled and shelved Minus-limbs minus-movement minus-worth "so sorry" they say, but they forget me. Once a year they buy themselves that right. We won't understanding not pity We need love not occassional headlines We've been used and abused and aborted for years and I've learned not to expect respect for my tears Regular check-ups needles and charts The nodding of heads and the shedding of hearts My legs are defenseless this chair is my cell My food is my medicine reality hell Disabled confined labeled and shelved Minus-limbs minus-movement minus-worth "so sorry" they say, but they forget me. Once a year they buy themselves that right. We won't understanding not pity We need love not occassional headlines We've been used and abused and aborted for years And I've learned not to expect respect for my tears Sometimes I feel so removed Lost in a maze of self-pity and dreams No one regards me I just don't belong They don't know how to react around me Sometimes I feel so removed Lost in a maze of self-pity and dreams No one regards me I just don't belong They don't know how to react around me Until you came to me Lord I had so little to live for Til you came to me Lord I had nowhere to turn Jesus you alone have helped me to grow Beyond my circumstance and despair My suffering can't compare to what you took willingly My sacrifice nowhere near what you gave on that tree I can see though I'm blind Loving one at a time There is so much that I can do Giving love and following you Giving love and following you I'm so glad you care Let my love flow free from this chair.
Can't Do It On My Own 2:54
Rez Band - Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore - © 1981
I've tried to understand what went wrong I've tried to figure out why it took so long I've tried to go back through my past And just undo the selfishness I've tried to turn my heart from stone into a heart of tenderness But I can't do it I can't do it on my own I can't do it I can't do it all alone I can't do it I can't do it on my own Late at night lying im my bed I used to ask myself, is it You or is it me who's dead Until I saw You for myself and You revealed Your love to me I never gave my heart away And love was just a mystery I could'nt do it couldn't it on my own I could'nt do it couldn't do it all alone I could'nt do it couldn't do it on my own I could'nt do it couldn't it on my own I could'nt do it couldn't do it all alone I could'nt do it couldn't do it on my own
First Degree Apathy
Rez Band - Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore - © 1981
You sit there don't care twiddling your thumbs You don't mind to waste your time contemplate the air There's no life it ain't right the passive state you're in Apathetic yeh pathetic can't you see it's sin You're being judged And righteously The sentence is passed It's apathy You're being judged And righteously The sentence is passed It's apathy in the first degree You might be lost might be found doesn't make a difference Sleepwalking you're just jive-talking obviously indifferent What'd you care if the world gonna burn With millions going to hell You might be with them or maybe you won't But it' sure hard to tell You're being judged And righteously The sentence is passed It's apathy You're being judged And righteously The sentence is passed It's apathy in the first degree It's easy to realize Much a' the world has closed its eyes Sometimes I cry For Christians to care at all It's sure Jesus cares Wasn't passive that's sure In the comfort seeking church He calls us to share the hurt You're being judged And righteously The sentence is passed It's apathy You're being judged And righteously The sentence is passed It's apathy in the first degree Apathy in the first degree Wake up, wake up

Mommy says she don't love daddy anymore Daddy says mommy walking out the door Sister says she's getting married to escape Brother says enlisting sounds just great Me I don't know who to believe Me I don't know how to maintain The world that used to be 'Cause everyone is leaving me Everyone is leaving me Everyone is leaving me Everyone When you're eight and your family is dying When you're hurt but too scared to cry What on earth can you do to find release God, what is, what is happening to me And me I don't know who to believe Me I don't know how to maintain The world that used to be 'Cause everyone is leaving me Everyone is leaving me Everyone is leaving me Everyone Everyone Daddy shrugs and slowly turns away Mommy says God why did it end this way Can our family really die so fast Is love a thing that just won't last Me I don't know who to believe Me I don't know how to receive The love that used to be 'Cause everyone is leaving me Everyone is leaving me Everyone is leaving me Everyone God, please don't leave me
The Crossing 3:50
Rez Band - Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore - © 1981
It was a rainy day in Amsterdam When the curtain came crashing down It was a solo dance, finished romance Once again I played the clown With no one there left to care I took the boat to London That night the channel looked to me Like a friend I could lean on Crossing the border, losing myself Leaving a part of me behind Crossing the border, tears in my soul But you're healing my heart and my mind It was a foggy night on Brighton Beach Waves writting in the sand I walked alone beneath the haze A broken empty man The dreams and castles that I'd built Had all been lost at sea The shadows played, someone prayed Daylight finally found me Crossing the border, losing myself Leaving a part of me behind Crossing the border, tears in my soul But you're healing my heart and my mind You've been healing my mind Crossing the border, losing myself Leaving a part of me behind Crossing the border, tears in my soul But you're healing my heart and my mind Crossing the border, losing myself Leaving a part of me behind Crossing the border, tears in my soul But you're healing my heart and my mind Healing my heart and my mind
Little Children 2:38
Rez Band - Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore - © 1981
Dead black kids in Atlanta When will this insanity end White or black, many or one The killer poses as a friend Fear grips the little children They can hardly sleep at night The Klan The Nazis, and the FBI Only adding to their fright In South East Asian refugee camp To Haiti and beyond The suffering of these little ones Screams at a world gone wrong The selfishness, greediness And wars have crippled and killed them We can roll in the shame of our sinful gain But we can't replace our children Abort me abuse me Rape and use me To buy your way to happiness Swear or hit me or just neglect me It's only at a child expense What does it matter You'll get what you're after But if I die before I wake I'll be safe In the arms of my Saviour So much love for so much hate

I love the rain I love the autumn wind I love the snow I love the space I'm in I love the cold, on a winter's day I love the truth, of the things You say Sometimes my world gets spinning like a top No matter what the price I just can't stop I can't stop lovin' You I can't stop lovin' You, no no I can't stop lovin' You No matter what they say I love the waves, on a stormy sea I love the stars, the way they shine at me I love the moon, I see Your Light in it I love Your Word, there's so much life in It Sometimes I feel my world is falling down How good to know Lord that I've been found I can't stop lovin' You I can't stop lovin' You, no no I can't stop lovin' You No matter what they say There's nothing more, that I'd like to do Than to see Your Face, and fly away with You And pass those gates, and enter Heaven With my wife, and my children Oh Lord I know You must be coming soon I'll stand before this world and shout it's true I can't stop lovin' You I can't stop lovin' You, no no I can't stop lovin' You No matter what they say I can't stop lovin' You I can't stop lovin' You, no no I can't stop lovin' You No matter what they say Lord, I can't stop lovin' You I can't stop lovin' You, no no I can't stop lovin' You No matter what they say
