CONTENDERS
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
We're going to stop this world from turning We build it up you knock it down If you go high then we'll go higher Beyond the sky without a sound It's gonna take a lot but we got plenty Keep building up keep movin' round If you use ten then we'll use twenty They're up above and underground - all around We've won we've lost we've counted up the cost And we've evened out the scores we are contenders I'm telling you so pay attention These words of truth come from above In God we trust and he has told me I need you now and I'm talking love We want a piece of what you're selling Put up your hands and face the wall How much it costs there is no telling How much it costs to walk so small - and we're so tall In truth we dare we people just don't care We've got you running scared we are contenders Rich or poor or hiding from the law You know what we've got in store we are contenders You're black, or white, Arab, Christian, Israelite We are hiding in plain sight we are contenders Don't bother asking for a favour I always get all that I want Though some are foolish we are braver Than those who do not have a bomb Forget the turning of the seasons Let's escalate and never stop And yes we've talked but for no reason Let's start again right from the top - countdown 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 Got the world on a string but it ain't got that swing You speed it up we slow it down A frontier wilder than the West ever was No sheriff round this outlaw town So Superman if you're listening Help us out you're on the team For truth and justice, the American way The fight for right's not what it seems - with laser beams With gun and sword there is no reward But we're fighting on we are contenders We've won we've lost and we've counted up the cost And we've evened out the scores we are contenders You're black, or white, Arab, Christian, Israelite We are hiding in plain sight we are contenders No virgin birth is going to claim the earth We know what you're worth we are contenders	O.K.
TROUBLE
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
I'm in a place where nothing ever happens I'll try one day to walk away But for now I'll hand around I am a fool without exception I break every rule But I never break away (Trouble) - It's walking my way I feel it moving closer day after day (Trouble) - I'm talking to you It's getting hot in here but what can I do Sometime, someplace I'll make it happen Yours is the face, to help me set this time ablaze I've always thought there's no protection You'll walk through the door And I'll never want for more (Trouble) - Again and again It's not so simple and I never know when (Trouble) - For me and for you The trouble's double now we're fighting for two We'll take this place we'll make it happen We'll leave them behind We'll leave them all to change their minds The trouble is with the solution One's not so strong, but with two of us we can't go wrong (Trouble) - I'm talking to you It's getting hot in here but what can I do (Trouble) - Again and again It's not so simple and I never know when (Trouble) - I'm talking to you It's getting hot in here but what can I do	O.K.
SOMEBODY
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
You've got to face the fact That in the world today They try and take away the blue skies And all the children that play But it's a curious fact In every hour in every place That when the right time arrives It feels so good to be alive Somebody Can't you see I'm a boy out of fashion Somebody I'm not part of any nation Now I'm back in circulation When the right time arrives will you be there Tomorrow or a hundred years from now I've wasted years just keepin' movin' on It never entered my head it was here all along Don't ask me why just lead me on Somebody Talk to me I can hear what you're saying Somebody Tired of the city air If I gave you the future would you meet me there I used to stumble and fall I'd run to everyone that called Since you appeared it's been a lot of fun Between you and me, between the truth and a lie You have a husband and I have a wife And when you ask me why with your kissing eyes How could we be so wrong, oh my oh my oh my You'll always be there the same as any other You like a sister and me like a brother Like all the times I used to dream Somebody Smile at me Let me know that you're near me Somebody I can see that you're near me It's the only sound on the city street If I sing you my song will you move your feet Somebody Every moment you're nearer I'm broken down and in a mess Your love is all that I confess Somebody Now I know that you're near me I don't mean to shock, I don't mean to scare But the world won't change and I don't care I used to dream One day somebody near me I can't believe you're making me A rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief There's a strange new rhythm in my life It burns like the sun and cuts like a knife Everybody chic or shoddy Turn it loose and use your body	O.K.
IF I WERE YOU
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
The tenth of May It seems so far away When you and I were strangers moving close together Sometimes it seems It's almost like a dream Driving across the country and the road is endless If I were you Don't wait until tomorrow I'd lead and wouldn't follow Walk away - today If I were you - please listen Walk away - I'd say If I were you 'go away' The first of June The summer came too soon But from the day we met I knew you'd never go away Sometimes I feel The passion's not so real Finding it strange to be together, not alone If I were you I'd smile and close the door I'd never ask for more Walk away - don't stay If I were you - believe me Walk away - I'd say If I were you 'go away' Fourth of July With an independent sigh I think the time's arrived to take what's going to happen Wise men may say It's easier to stay But if you are there I'm only wasting time If I were you I know I'd want to hurt me It wouldn't disconcert me Walk away - I'd pray If I were you - I'd leave me Walk away - today If I were you - please listen Walk away - don't stay If I were you - believe me Walk away - I'd pray If I were you - I'd leave me Walk away Walk away Walk away Walk away I'd leave if I were you	O.K.
LOW SOCIETY
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
A judge a dentist or physician In this low society Trade ambition for position In this low society Have you heard it's in the stars Next July we collide with Mars Have you heard it in the bars In this low society No more pay and lots of leisure In this low society Low society I'm just doing what I can In this low society But I'm an incidental man In this low society I give away what others sell The secret's yours so never tell 'Cos if you do you'll go to hell Low society Side by side and always tired All for one and no-one hired All that's left is love inspired Low society And when the party is complete And you're still standing on your feet The taste of victory is sweet Low society And darling don't forget In this low society To turn off your T.V. set In this low society The most important thing at all In this low society Is not to stand too tall In this low society In this world that never learns I can see Rome as it burns All the passion and the power Turns to ash within an hour No more play and no more pleasure In this low society	O.K.
RED
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
The streets are full of stars again tonight And an angel writes a word across the sky When the people laugh there's no sound And the words keep falling round and round And the world just keeps on watching Till there's nothing left to buy I don't believe it Well they don't care It's moving closer It's everywhere Everything around us turning red - red You walk into your home You walk it talks - red The fever's taken over everyone And the only law that matters is the gun The people run from every slum There's nowhere safe to watch it from The underground is over now There's nothing that can be done I don't believe it Well they don't care It's moving closer It's everywhere Everything around us turning red You walk into a bar You drink it smokes - red You're driving in your car You turn it burns - red As the air becomes too hot for us to breathe There's none of us that really want to leave From the frozen north to the sun soaked south The colour spreads by word of mouth Till there's no-one left to talk to We just look into the screen Well I don't believe it Well they don't care It's moving closer It's everywhere Everything around us turning red - red You walk into your home You walk it talks - red You walk into a bar You drink it smokes - red You're driving in your car You turn it burns - red You're on the telephone You talk it's always - red You walk into your home You walk it talks - red You walk into a bar You drink it smokes - red Red! - Red! - Red! - Red!	O.K.

FREE
Text as printed in booklet	Real text from LP version
Here as I sit in this lonely square This train of thought runs through my mind I like it best when the choice is mine I want to be free to speak my mind And if I cry I want no-one to be there (be there) Free to do what I want to do And you should share this freedom too If I lie it must be for a reason We've come a long way now There's still a way to go And still we're moving onwards For all that you might think we are innocent Innocent people We are free I'm working hard I'm looking for the week-end Oh! My good God How the work is hard And when it's down to getting home We don't know what to do - do you I hurry home All the people seem to hurry Don't push me on I think for myself We move as one We like to keep it all together I take it all No problem at all I'm a page in the book Oooh take a look I'm a part of the whole All my body and soul I want you to know I've cried me a river Why can't this taker change into a giver Why can't I work it out I want to be free Free in what I'm choosin' Free with no excuses Free to see the people And to move ooo! ooo! ooo! Free to choose my lover Free to choose my brother Free to need another And I do - I need you I'm having a ball I'm part of the wall No-one sees me at all I'm asking for one dance I know that there won't be a second chance There's no return I'm ready to burn I think I'll never learn I'm looking for direction What I need from you is real protection I've done my best I've failed the test I don't care about the rest Won't someone set me free Free in what I'm choosin' Free with no excuses Free to see the people And to move! Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Free to choose my lover Free to choose my brother Free to need another And I do - I need you	O.K.
