1. For What It's Worth
For What It's Worth

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware


I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down


There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side


It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down


Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away


We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

For What It's Worth

2. Land Down Under
Land Down Under
Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

3. As Long As We Got Each Other
As Long As We Got Each Other
Show me that smile again
(Ooo, show me that smile)
Dont waste another minute on your cryin
We're nowhere near the end
(We're nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin

As long as we keep on givin
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharin the laughter and love
As Long As We Got Each Other

4. Regulate
Regulate
Todd:
Regulators
We regulate any stealing of his property
And we damn good too
But you cant be any geek off the street,
Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep!
Regulators!!! mount up!

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
T-O-D was on the streets, trying to consume
Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some funk
Just rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone

Frank:
Just hit the eastside of the LBC
On a mission trying to find T-O-Double-D.
Seen a car full of girls ain't no need to tweak
All you skirts know whats up with 323

T:
So I hooks a left on the 21 and Lewis
Some brothas shootin dice so I said lets do this
I jumped out the ride, and said whats up?
Some brothas pulled some gats so I said I'm stuck.

F:
Since these girls peepin' me ima glide and swerve
These hookers lookin' so hard they straight hit the curb
Wont'cha think of better things than some horny tricks
I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix

T:
I'm gettin' jacked, Im breakin' myself
I cant believe they taking Todd's wealth
They took my rings, they took my Timex
I looked at the brotha said damn, whats next?

Nate:
They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
Ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown
I best pull out my strap and lay them busters down

T:
They got guns to my head
I think I'm going down
I cant believe this happenin' in my own town
If I had wings I could fly
Let me contemplate
I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Frank

F:
Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Frankdogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Now they droppin' and yellin'
Its a tad bit late
Frankdawg and T-O-D had to regulate

I laid all them busters down
I let my gat explode
Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
If you want skirts sit back and observe
I just left a gang of those over there on the curb

T:
Now Frank got the freaks
And thats a known fact
Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Back up back up cause its on
F-R-anky and me
The T-O-Double-D

F:
Just like I thought
They were in the same spot
In need of some desperate help
The Frankdogg and the T-child
Were in need of something else
One of them dames was sexy as hell
I said ooo I like your size.
She said my cars broke down and you seem real nice,
Would ya let me ride?
I got a car full of girls and its going real swell
The next stop is the eastside motel

T:
I'm tweaking
Into a whole new era
G-funk
Step to this
I dare ya
Funk
On a whole new level

F:
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble

T:
Chords
Strings
We brings
Melody
G-funk
Where rhythm is life
And life is rhythm

F:
If you know like I know
You dont wanna step to this
Its the g-funk era
Funked out with a gangsta twist
If you smoke like I smoke
Then you high like everyday
And if your ass is a buster
323 will regulate

Regulate

5. In My Life
In My Life
There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more

Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more
In My Life

It's a long way down the Holiday Road

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Take a ride on a West Coast kick

I've come back long ago
Long way down the Holiday Road

7. Iowa
Iowa
I’ve never had a way with women, but the hills of iowa make me wish that I could,
And I’ve never found a way to say I love you, but if the chance came by, oh i, I would,
But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother,
We don’t like to make our passions other peoples concern,
And we walk in the world of safe people, and at night we walk into our houses and burn.

Iowa oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa

How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and stray from the light,
But I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
So I asked a friend about it, on a bad day, her husband had just left her,
She sat down on the chair he left behind, she said,
"what is love, where did it get me? whoever thought of love is no friend of mine."

Ioway oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa

Once I had everything, I gave it up for the shoulder of your driveway and the words I’ve never felt.
And so for you, I came this far across the tracks, ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and I’d do it again,
For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion,
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see,
You were a-wandering out on the hills of iowa and you were not thinking of me.

Ioway oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa
Ioway oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa
Iowa

8. Lookin' Out My Back Door
Lookin' Out My Back Door
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door

Forward troubles, Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn

{Slowly}
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Lookin' Out My Back Door

9. Lightning Crashes
Lightning Crashes
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
Lightning Crashes

(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone

You're trying to make your mark in society
Your using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.

I said
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.

When i first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news.
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name while you're watchin Blues Clues!

I said
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.
