[Salem6]

we r standing by the border
there is chaos & disorder
these 2 people’s r the same
why must they play this killing game
Divide & rule, they look 4 difference
THEY have the power. Eternal sufferance
we have the numbers, we can speak
shout it loud & make them weak
take over from these selfish old men
YES! we really can b free again
divide & Share life’s glorious gold
pass it on b4 we’re old
our kids r the future of our species
we can make it a humane thesis
listen listen 2 our complaint
break out of life’s restraint
4 our future we must pray
we all c that it’s today
Tomorrow, it may never come
if it does, we will b done.

[Salem6]

The girls with frowns, the boys with sneers
act like clowns, when sharing beers
2 hide & comfort their surface fears
dance away the living years
beneath the sneers, the frowns, the fears
pressure building, stop the tears
release the mind, open the soul
together we will reach the goal
Attack, defend, stubbornness
don’t stay in the wilderness
40 days & 40 nights
come on out & c the sights
endeavour 2 experience
stop yr sitting on the fence
u smile, u laugh, u feel alright
there really is no need 4 fright
when They hear what u r saying
then it’s time 2 stop the slaying
of the mind, we r so kind
when we accept the ties that bind
bind, bind, wrap around
mummify the perfect sound

[Salem6]

One MAN
shared vision
one bullet
disciples rise
mental arms
rampage, riot
shock, rock
crack defences
we’re there
Listen
Perfection
They’re here 2
we’ve broken thru
shared reality
mankind conquers
bullets
survive, not all
Enough
4 what?
only WE know

[Salem6]

ball, legs, muscle, sweat
have we won together yet
teamwork seems 2 b the answer
& an individual chancer
9-0, 9-0, I hear u hark
but that’s the light b4 the dark
we r coming back 4 u
2 prove u know the time 2 rue
red, red & more red still
the turnstile cashing in it’s till
add it up, we’re sure it pays
but 4 who in these strange days
eyes locked, opponents shocked
with goals, the kop’s been rocked
you’ll have 2 wait 4 another era
yours has passed, Now, ours is nearer
Champion, Champion, u r the best
silverware in the treasure chest
tall & proud, like guardsman’s breast
we know the weakness of the rest
true football is alive & kicking
we have London’s lips a licking

[Salem6]

we live
mind like a sieve
we laugh, we cry
we fall, we die
sooner or later
life will b greater
luv & lust, we must
enjoy b4 it’s dust
death is close by
who does it hurt to say goodbye
to what, to who
we’re in the q
wait yr turn
or life u spurn

[Salem6]

Coming, going
rivers flowing
2 the sea, thru the tide
all this vastness, still can’t hide
the shoals of fish, the tasty dish
the skate, the mate, 2 late, the gate
open, close, we can c
set us free, let us b
we have found the way 2 joy
come & join we will employ
legions of lifes wanderers
NO, we are not the squanderers
we savour the Now, STUDY, the owl
we stroke the dog, it doesn’t growl
we understand what we have got
use it Now, or lose the lot
