DAY Kids Go Out and Play When I was growing up you might say life sucked My ma and my dad no they didn't care much Rejected and confused, betrayed by lust We were innocent but they took it out on us All I ever heard my parents say; Kids go out, go out and play Take your toys; get out of my way Kids go out, go out and play Is it any wonder I'm so screwed up Dysfunction is the word that they hang on us We were insecure, cause we didn't have trust That isn't any way for a kid to grow up All I ever heard my parents say; Kids go out, go out and play Take your toys; get out of my way Kids go out, go out and play There isn't any cure for an ignorant mind There should be a law against parents like mine Now I'm finally free, I served my time I did the punishment, but what was the crime All I ever heard my parents say; Kids go out, go out and play Take your toys; get out of my way Kids go out, go out and play Written and produced by: Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music/BMI Workin' for My Car Got me a job, sometimes it's steady Got me a house keeps me dry when it rains Life ain't too bad. It could be better If I had just one wish it would be I wish my car would never break down I'm loosing weight in my wallet every week Transmission, rack 'n' pinion Tires, breaks & oil aren't free Take my money from a jar They'll repair my broken car What you need is cold hard cash Or you'll be sitting on your ass I'm workin' for my car Workin' for my car Workin' for my car, workin' for my car Now down at EJ's, they claim to fix things It's working just like a top so they say So what's that noise, I hear a sputter Seems like a government plot, this intrigue Now my grand daddy he likes to tell me How in the old days cars were built to last Don't need computers, for our commuters All that stuff ain't nothin' but trash Take my money from a jar They'll repair my broken car What you need is cold hard cash Or you'll be sitting on your ass I'm workin' for my car Workin' for my car Workin' for my car, workin' for my car Take my money from a jar, They'll repair my broken car Take my money, yeah. Take my money, oh yeah Take my money, take my money, take ALL my money I'm workin' for my car. . . Words & Music by: Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music/BMI Turn Around Why do some people become such a pain? Pretending their friends when they don't know your name Holding you up in the middle of the street Bending your ear as they stand on your feet No they won't give you a hunch or clue They only want what they can't get from you How can they act so incredibly vain What can you do but to laugh in their face Turn around walk away, you don't hear what they say Doesn't matter anyway Turn around, turn around Driven insane by the threat of corruption No ones immune to the damage it does you Forced to conform when you don't think it's right Told what to do and you don't want to fight Seems everyone has a cross to bear What can you do when they stop and stare? And tell you your crazy; you don't know a thing What can you do but to sit down and scream Turn Around? When a bad situation comes your way You can avoid it no reason to stay Don't let it take you and rip you apart Forget all the sorrow; get out of the dark Remember the words of the wisest man Love conquers all and with love we'll stand When negative force gets the better of you Take this advice and you'll know what to do.

Breaking the Surface Seeking the light on a ship lost at sea Pray we don't sink in foul waters Violent waves lashing out, drowning all hope Pulling us down to the bottom We hold our breath, you take our hands Lifting us towards the surface From your voice we hear songs without words They're guiding us to our purpose And the message is clear We're crossing the line, expanding the circle As we open our minds, we're changing the future We're crossing the line, expanding the circle In Gods own time, we'll discover our purpose We're just breaking the surface Confused by our doubt and a lingering fear We'll stumble and fail in our journey Saved by a faith that resides in our souls. With love we find strength and true meaning We hold our ground against the tides, of darkness that swells before us Angels of light won't you give us a sign In spirit I hear your sweet chorus And the message so clear We're crossing the line, expanding the circle As we open our minds, we're changing the future We're crossing the line, expanding the circle In Gods own time, we'll discover our purpose We're just breaking the surface Words & Music by: Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music/BMI Slow Fade Today I woke up to a sound, a voice I never heard it seems so strange, he knew my name, I hung on every word Said you better wake up get out of that bed You've got things to do and don't you know that it's a crime to stand accused of wasted time. Suddenly I realized that it was me talkin to myself and my inner fear, that it's clear, time is running out Now don't you be guilty of wasted life My silence spoke aloud You gotta to turn your head around Now can't you see what's going down Just a little bit everyday my life's become a slow fade Catch me now before I slip away It's just another case of slow fade Like a photograph from a Polaroid, left on a windowsill it fades away, everyday and that's about the way I feel. Ask any old soldier that you see, he'll tell you that it's true How time can get the best of you and no there's nothing you can do. Just a little bit everyday my life's become a slow fade Catch me now before I slip away It's just another case of slow fade But I'm not gonna let it get me down, now what can be the point in that I'll live for today, it's the only way No I'm never gonna look back. Cause I took it on the run now I took it on the chin I'll take it any way I can. There's something deep inside of me has got to keep fighting. (Chorus Out) Words & Music by: Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music/BMI Serious Hey brother, what's been going on I know there's something wrong with you Is there anything I can do It's so hard being in your skin, to know the shape you're in And your falling much to fast, but don't crash It's no big deal, don't be so serious See it in your face, you look so furious It's no big deal, don't be so serious, furious with me Hey sister, you're running into walls Heading for a fall You've had enough you're through with us I hear anguish in your voice, I know it's not your choice Holding on you cry, but don't cry It's no big deal, don't be so serious See it in your face, you look so furious It's no big deal, don't be so serious, furious with me To look into your eyes is scary, it's become the ordinary. And your falling much too fast, but don't crash It's no big deal don't be so serious... Lighten up your way! Words & Music by: Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music/BMI Talk about it So many people lack discretion Using their words like a deadly weapon They do, do they know they do Patting your back as their picking your pocket Invading your space like a nuclear rocket They do, that's just what they do We can talk about it; Talk, talk, talk about it We can talk about it Let's talk, talk, talk about it now Lets talk about it now Wet with the tears of the worlds injustice We cry out loud at the fear upon us We do, that's just what we do With a little intelligent conversation We can change that situation Let's do, I know that we can do We can talk about it; Talk, talk, talk about it We can talk about it Let's talk, talk, talk about it now Lets talk about it now Stimulation, conversation A little bit of communication Talk about it now We can talk about it; Talk, talk, talk about it? Words & Music by Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music/BMI Happy Tones Cool Sounds Now I've been asked what makes me tick What do I like, what does the trick I get amused just to think about it This music thing that keeps me lit And makes my world go round and round Makes life easier, some way, somehow What lifts me up, when I am down It's those Happy tones and Cool sounds Happy tones and Cool sounds It's those Happy tones and those Cool sounds Words & Music by Stephen Dees Copyright © SLDees Music Cheers And so we come to the end of our journey Arriving once again at the beginning Until we meet again, we wish you Happy tones and Cool Sounds And hope every day is your BIG DAY.
