You can shove it You can shove it...etc. @SONG: "Cowboys And Indians" It's a long fast dance Well the long fast dance of progress And the long slow waltz of decay Made such a natural born couple They settled down right here in the USA Dream home for two in the USA Hot jazz, cool blues, we got country We get rock and roll all day Like to dance, come on down get funky That's the way, that's the way That's the way hey, hey in the USA There's still cowboys and indians at home on the range But the cowboys and indians have changed - they've changed We've got James Dean on the silver screen We've got James Brown he won't let you down Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll We got preacher men who want to save your soul Got the motorcity with the Motown beat Get hip to the beat on the hip hop street Stars and bars and the biggest cars And a rocket ship take you up to Mars There's the east coast trip where it's real uptight Where you work all day and you play all night And the west coast side with the laid back scene When you just lay back and it seems like a dream There's a lot of places in between There's Hollywood and the city by the bay And the whole damn south down Louisiana way, way, way That's the way, that's the way hey, hey in the USA There's still cowboys and indians at home on the range But the cowboys and indians have changed, the've changed In the land of the free and the home of the brave The cowboys and cowgirls and indians have changed Baby, baby, baby That's the way, that's the way in the USA Cowboys and indians... Home on the range... @SONG: "Contact" Feeling strange, turn around do it again Feeling alright, feel like contact tonight Well you know what it says and you know what you feel And you know what it's like and you know it's for real Take it to the limit, take it to the height Take it to the limit, contact tonight Don't speak, don't break the spell Let's dance, you dance so well I contact you, you contact me Across the room our glances meet I contact you, eye contact, eye contact Feeling fine, feel like dynamic Eyes speak more than words can say Sparks fly eye contact is made Well you know what it says And you know what you feel Well you know what it's like And you know it's for real So take it to the limit, take it to the height Take it to the limit, contact tonight Breathe deep let your feelings show, Let's dance but not too slow I contact you, you contact me, across the room Our glances meet, I contact you... Eye contact, eye contact Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, Eye contact, eye contact... @SONG: "Heaven For Everyone" While you are imagining, imagine for instance, The sights that you can take advantage of Look at the beautiful cloud formations below you and above you This could be heaven Think of the colour of the sun as it shines off the clouds In these days, in these days, in these days of cool reflection You come to me and everything seems alright In these days of cold affections You sit by me and everything's fine This could be heaven for everyone This world could be fed, this world could be fun This could be heaven for everyone This world could be free, this world could be one, In this world of cool deception Just smile can smooth my ride These troubled days of cruel rejection You come to me, soothe my troubled mind Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone This world could be fed, this world could be one We should bring love to our daughters and sons Love, love, love, love (This could be heaven for everyone) So take a seat and sit by my side a while You know I like your style (This could be heaven for everyone) So what can we do to clean up this mess Just feel so helpless This could be heaven for everyone So lift up your voice at least you'll have cared At least you'll have dared Listen. What people do to other souls They take their lives, destroy their goals Their basic pride and dignity Is stripped and torn and shown no pity When this should be heaven for everyone This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone etc. And this is the end of this section. @SONG: "Stand Up For Love" Clap your hands and let's groove Clap your hands, clap your hands There comes a time in every life There comes a day in every mind Now don't look back, don't look behind Stand up straight in your own time Stand up for love, every good man Stand up for love, and foolish man Stand up for love, and all the rich men Stand up for love, and all the proud men Stand up for love, stand up for love, stand up for love Everybody, come on and take my hand Everybody, you know it's time, It's time to make your stand...
