I'm Leaving You Tonight 03:06
lyrics

I’m Leaving You Tonight After the hills where the Danube curves down On the banks of this big river you can see my home town It’s been through many sorrow and wars And the dark clouds are coming again and the life is getting worse [Chorus:] And when you see the moon appearing on the sky And when you hear the poor crying on the ground No one will find me here waiting for the light Bye-bye my home I’m leaving you tonight Twenty years ago when the changes began The air was filled with hope of a new life with freedom but then The selfishness and the deprivation Won the fight against us and we’re living in complete isolation [Chorus] Let me guide you for a last walk on the streets of Budapest Here you can see the great new hotels where I couldn’t be a guest There are flashing shops, there are big cars but I cannot afford them And many more people live like me still I feel like an alien [Chorus]

Dreamer 03:32

Dreamer Failure My father says I’m a dreamer Mama says I’ll never be a good singer They trained me for submission Acceptance, never rejection Unimaginative, unimpassioned But I became a deception An “always opposing” little creature So that’s why I say it’s a failure Recently As I get to know the reality All the sorrow and inhumanity As they’re strongly weighing my shoulder I feel I can’t bear it any longer They’re trying to kill my future Maybe I should have listened to my father As I toss and turn in the poverty The dreams are coming to save me Dreams tell me what to do They never let me listen to you They know what I need to do They show what I need to do Tomorrow When it seems nothing’s left to follow We still hear the voices but hollow ‘Cause they are oppressed by the reality The choking rough brutality In our market ruled society Only our dreams give us vitality They feed us with hope for tomorrow They’re about to kill the sorrow Dreams tell me what to do They never let me listen to you They know what I need to do They show what I need to do I close my eyes and I see Billions of distressed hungry people around me They lost everything they had And they have a dream they get everything back And I see others those satisfied ones Exploiting the Earth and its folk with violence And if they dream more money, oil and pasture They make guns, wars ‘cause they have the power I see you dear mother and father Do you believe this world has a future? Do you want me to consume that? Like a manipulated ignorant puppet And I see myself holding on Singing the songs about a world that’s going wrong Dreams brought me so far, dreams made me struggle So I’d rather remain a dreamer Oh father let me show you Sometimes the dreams can come true Well, I guess I’d rather remain a dreamer Dreams show me what should I do So I’d rather remain a dreamer

I Wanna Be a Folksong If I Die Somebody wants to be a lion Somebody wants to be a star Somebody wants to go to heaven But I wanna be a folk song if I die [Chorus:] If I die I wanna be a folk song If I die I wanna be a folk song If I die I wanna be a folk song if I die One, two, three, four, five I wanna be a folk song if I die I wanna be a folk song If I die I only wanna be a folk song if I die When you walk around the graveyard You can see there many great people lying But if you look for me better use your ears ‘Cause I wanna be a folk song if I die [Chorus] Among outlaws, slayers and heroes Would be a great thing I tell you why Don’t mourn for me don’t keep my gravestone Just write a song about me if I die [Chorus]

Walk Away 02:36
lyrics

Walk Away Greg Graffin (Bad Religion) Shut off the TV and peel all those Sunday gloves And I’ll stain the clean what you’ve been counting Old Mr. Fletcher passed by here today After forty years of toil he just up and walked away Fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes He shrugged when I asked him about it He said, “Young man pay heed, you listen well to what I say Now there comes a time for a man to walk away” Walk away, I’ll be a parade And I’ll be determined that no one shall Dissuade on my way I’ll sure take some time To burn all the bridges that I’m leaving behind He passed by again and he was shivering from the cold I’m not sure but I think he was trying He told me about the weather and something old to pay “But tomorrow” he said “I’m gonna surely walk away” Walk away, I’ll be a parade And I’ll be determined that no one shall Dissuade on my way I’ll take my sweet time To burn all the bridges that I’m leaving behind

Nem volt más választás 02:27

Nem volt más választás Forró nyári éjszakákon Őriztük egymás álmát Egymás kezét fogtuk Az augsburgi kis tó partján A fűben hemperegtünk Ott, ahol az idő megállt Felettünk a kék ég Szórta szitakötők hadát Ám egyszer csak eljött az óra Hogy döntenünk kellett Arról, mi lesz a folytatás És most már mindketten tudjuk, hogy Nem volt más választás Forró nyári éjszakákon Őriztük egymás álmát Egymás kezét fogtuk A tihanyi apátságnál Méhedben gyermekeddel Ültél mellettem a sziklán Tudtuk, bűnt követünk el Elloptalak, másé voltál Ám egyszer csak eljött az óra Hogy döntenünk kellett Arról, mi lesz a folytatás És most már mindketten tudjuk, hogy Nem volt más választás Ám egyszer csak eljött az óra Hogy döntenünk kellett Arról, mi lesz a folytatás És most már mindhárman tudjuk, hogy Nem volt más választás

Don’t Let Me Outside On a cold and sad winter night I can hear the wind blows outside On a cold and sad winter night I can hear the frightful cry of the pines On a cold and sad winter night I can hear the wind blows outside Those crying old pines they call me outside [Chorus:] I don’t ever want to leave you It’s just a trial of my life I don’t ever want to leave you Don’t let me outside I don’t ever want to leave you It’s just a trial of my life Don’t let me outside On a cold and sad winter night I can feel something dark inside On a cold and sad winter night I can feel something tries to close my heart On a cold and sad winter night I can feel something dark inside Wants to close my heart wants to confuse my mind [Chorus]

Az öreg tölgyfánál Egyik este, miközben sétáltam Kinn az erdei pataknál Megpihentem és dúdolni kezdtem egy dalt Fenn az öreg tölgyfánál Ha nem bírod a tempót már Rohanj, a sűrű erdő vár Az őrült zaj elhalkul mögötted És mindig megnyugvást találsz Fenn az öreg tölgyfánál [Chorus:] Ahol összegyűlhet sok barát Elmondja mindenki a bánatát Együtt dúdoljuk az erdő dalát Ó, fenn, fenn az öreg tölgyfánál Valaki épp szenet lapátol Egy másik a szalagnál áll Valaki éppen mandolinon játszik Fenn az öreg tölgyfánál Ha nem bírod a tempót már Rohanj, a sűrű erdő vár Az őrült zaj elhalkul mögötted És mindig megnyugvást találsz Fenn az öreg tölgyfánál [Chorus]

Ride On Jimmy MacCarthy True you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen Standing sixteen one or two with eyes wild and green You ride the horse so well hands light to the touch I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to Ride on, See you I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to Riding to the night without a trace behind Run your claw along my gut one last time Turn to the empty place where you used to lie Look for a spark to light the night through a teardrop in my eye Ride on, See you I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Socialized 02:32

Socialized Hey you I would only like to thank you You made a great impression on me You opened the world before us You "telecommunicated" us But there are few things I’d rather not see I don’t wanna be terrorized I don’t wanna see nature privatized I don’t want love being capitalized But I wanna see the world socialized Hey you I would only like to thank you You made me learn these four chords You helped me develop my abilities I traveled and learned your languages But your corporations feel no remorse I don’t wanna be terrorized I don’t wanna see nature privatized I don’t want love being capitalized I wanna see the world socialized There’s only one thing left you owe us to do To help the oppressed classes to find themselves and unite Because Ms.Globalization I wrote this song to you To let you know the day will come when they will rise I don’t wanna be terrorized I don’t wanna see the nature privatized I don’t want the love being capitalized I wanna see the world socialized I wanna see the world socialized This idea should be globalized I don’t wanna see everything capitalized But I wanna see the world socialized
