to a young boy weepin
to an old man shaking his head
there's a cool gentle breeze
in the night full of light
as the red glow wavers in the stead
there's a black man crying
and a white man dyin
and a black man's head in the air
the shock of life
feeds the fight
the fight that's in my head
holding tight in the stillness of the night
in the stillness of my thoughts
yet, I know I've only started
beating on a tin drum marching to a sound
what is it I think?
am I beating on a tin drum marching to a cause
when I don't
I'll Try Anything
(Mark Barkan / Vic Millrose)
You belong
To somebody else and not to me
Right or wrong
That's not the way that it's gonna be
I want you so much inside
I'm throwin' away all my conscience and pride, and
I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything I can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and I'll lie
And I'll try 'til I die
'Til I make you my man
Gonna make you my man
I've been burned
Whenever I've followed all the rules
So I've learned
That playing it fair is just for fools
I'm fighting and win or lose
I'm not minding my P's and Q's, and
I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything I can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and I'll lie
Try 'til I die
'Til I make you my man
My man, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I want you so much inside
I'm throwin' away all my conscience and pride, and
I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything I can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and I'll lie
Try 'til I die
'Til I make you my man
Gonna make you my man
Gonna make you my man, yeah
Make you my man
Gonna fight 'til I die
Gonna cheat and lie
