Tennessee Ernie Ford Sings 16 Tons (by curleyb3)
This song should be the theme to the goverment.
“Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company store”
Just replace word store with goverment.
“Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the goverment”
Don’t Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John & Kiki Dee (by ubekijkthetmaar)
One of my all time favorite songs. Just gives you that happy feeling!
Infowars: Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Theme Song Prompts School Lockdown

Schools were locked down in Ambridge, after a perceived threat on a cell phone message.
Ambridge police say 19-year-old Travis Clawson had an eye appointment scheduled for today. When the receptionist called to confirm, she thought Clawson’s voice message said something to the effect of “I can’t come to the phone right now, because I’m going to kill all the (expletive) at my school.”
According to the Times-Online, the message was actually him singing part of the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV sitcom, “shooting some b-ball outside of the school.”
The paper says it’s not clear from listening to Travis Clawson’s phone message whether he inadvertently twisted the words or it just was misheard by the receptionist from his Sewickley eye doctor’s office who sent the day’s events in motion.
Song: Line Upon Line. From Saturday’s Warrior.
Lyrics:
Line upon line, precept on precept
That is how He lifts us
That is how He teaches His children.
Line upon line, precept on precept
Like a summer shower
Giving us each hour His wisdom.
If we are patient we shall see
Hopw the pieces fit together in harmony.
We’ll know who we are in this big universe
And then we’ll live with Him forever!
Line upon line, precept on precept
That is how He lifts us
That is how He teaches His children.
Line upon line, precept on precept
Like a summer shower
Giving us each hour His wisdom.
Song: Feelings of Forever. From Saturday’s Warrior
Lyrics:
Feelings of forever come so strong.
They follow us like jewels that light the path behind.
Calendars of time we almost knew
That trembled in a lamp much brighter than the sun.
I recall the morning you arose,
Shining like a star on an endless sea of sand.
And the tender child in your eyes,
As the compass drew us out, I took your hand.
And now we lift the veil and try to understand,
And reach for what we were before we were.
To finally come again back to the start where we began.
Something’s at the gate and rushing through,
Allt he rusty chains of time can’t hold it back.
Mem‘ries of a former life that we knew.
The feelings are so strong and comin’ through.
Song: Paper Dream. From Saturday’s Warrior.
As a artist I connect to this song. A must inspirational song for any artist.
Lyrics:
I take some paper on my hand,
And with a pencil draw a man
The dream of what I’d really, really like to be.
A man with courage in his brow,
Who;’s licked his doubts and fears somehow,
A warrior of great nobility.
But who am I? Just a wandering kid.
A cipher on the wall, not even brave at all!
And where’s my dream like his that I would fight for?
And where’s my cuase like his that I would die for?
And in his eyes he’s not a afraid
Because you see he’s got it made
The dream of what I’d really, really like to be.
A brave and noble, fiery youth.
Who’s not afraid to die for truth.
Who’s tall and straight, but best of all he’s free!
But who am I? Such a fool as I am.
A cipher on the wall, not even brave at all!
And where’s my dream like his that I would fight for?
And where’s my cuase like his that I would die for?
But still the paper’s ion my hand
And every day I sketch that man
Who knows the truth and what life’s all about!
My conscience says I should be him
I guess I could at least begin
But chances are I’d probably strike out.
Song:Zero Population. From Saturday’s Warrior.
Context of this song is when this musical was written. This was a major topic. As it is today. We Mormons were known for our big families. This song is in relation to this. The antagonist sings this song. The protagonists family has a large family of kids. He is saying to the protagonist. How dare your parents have a big family.
Lyrics:
Ev’ry day the world is getting smaller by far!
Bursting at the seams, what can we do?
Zero population is the answer, my friend!
Without it the rest of us are doomed!
(chorus)
Who can survive? Who can survive?
Not one of us will be alive!
Who can be strong? Who can be strong?
When ev’ry inch is gone!
Who can survive? Who can survive?
Not one of us will be alive!
Who can be strong? Who can be strong?
When mother earth is gone?
Ev’ry day the food supply is shrinking away!
With starvation at our door what can we do?
Licensing of children is the answer, my friend!
Without it, the rest of us are through!
(chorus)
Who can survive? Who can survive?
Not one of us will be alive!
Who can be strong? Who can be strong?
When all the food is gone?
Who can survive? Who can survive?
Not one of us will be alive!
Who can be strong? Who can be strong?
When ev’ry crumb is gone?
Tragedy our oil is depleating each day!
Ev’ry baby makes it last a shorter time!
Legalized abortion is the answer, my friend!
Without it, there is no peace of mind!
(chorus)
Who can survive? Who can survive?
Not one of us will be alive!
Who can be strong? Who can be strong?
When all the oil is gone!
Who can survive? Who can survive?
Not one of us will be alive!
Who can be strong? Who can be strong?
When energy is gone?
Zero population is the answer my friend.
Without it the rest of us are doomed.
Song:Sailing On. From Saturday’s Warrior.
Lyrics:
What is that sound risin’ up from the world?
The sound of a clock ticking on
With hours and minutes I’ve yet to meet in a life
That soon will be gone, soon will be gone, soon will be gone.
What is that sound risin’ up from the world?
The swell of the tide at the gate.
Where children set sail without knowing too well
That the time is growing late, growing late, growing late.
(chorus)
I’m sailin’ on I’m not a stranger.
My faith will ride through wind and tide and stormy sea.
I’m sailin’ on out of the harbor
There is a distant lamp that lights the way for me.
I hope they hold it high so I can see.
I’m sailin’ on
What is that sound risin’ up from the world?
The clang of a bell on the ledge.
While young ones play on there merry way
As they float right over the edge, over the edge, over the edge.
Song: Pullin’ Together From Saturday’s Warrior
Lyrics:
What will we do when
the going gets tough
and the journey is rough
What’ll we do?
Courage take
For Goodness Sake
And when we’re out of courage
And we’re ready to break
We’ve got our father and mother
Sister and brother
Pullin’ together we can work it out
What’ll I do
If I should stutter a lot
and it’s hard to talk
What’ll I do?
Courage take
For Goodness Sake
And when you’re out of courage
And you’re ready to break
We’ve got our father and mother
Sister and brother
Pullin’ together we can work it out
All alone we just can’t make it
By ourselves we fall behind
If we lift and pull together
We can help each other climb
What’ll I do if the kids make fun
because I’m kind of dumb
What’ll I do?
Courage take
For Goodness Sake
And when you’re out of courage
And you’re ready to break
We’ve got our father and mother
Sister and brother
Pullin’ together we can work it out
What’ll I do if I’m scared in the night
and I shiver with fright
What’ll I do?
A piece of cake,
for goodness sake
If the goblins try to get you
and you shiver and shake
Just climb under the covers
Yell for big brother
Pullin’ together we can work it out
All alone we just can’t make it
By ourselves we fall behind
If we lift and pull together
We can help each other climb
Okay Emily, I’ve got one for you
What’ll you do
if there comes a day
when I lose my way
what would you do?
Well, I would stay by you Jimmy,
pray for you Jimmy,
If it would help,
I would even die for you Jimmy.
You’d die for me?
Oh Emily
We’ve got our father and mother
Sister and brother
Pullin’ together we can work it out
Without a doubt we can work it out
Pullin together we can work it out
Song title: Saturday’s Warrior
Lyrics:
Who are these children coming down, coming down.
Like gentle rain though darken skies.
With glory trailing from their feet as they go.
And endless promise in their eyes!
Who are these youn ones growing tall, growing tall.
Like silver trees against the storm.
Who will not bend with the wind or the change,
But stand to fight the world alone!
These are the few, the warriors
Saved for Saturday, to come
The last day of the world
These are they, on Saturday.
These are the strong, the warriors
Rising in the might to win
The battle raging in
The hearts of men, on Saturday.
Strangers from a realn of light
Who have forgotten all.
The memory of their former life.
The purpose of their call.
And so they must learn why they're here
And who they really are.
They must learn why they're here
And who they are!
These are the few, the warriors
Saved for Saturday, to come
The last day of the world
These are they, on Saturday.
Song Title:
All Good Gifts. From the musical Godspell.
Perform by the 2001 touring cast.
Lyrics:
[DA VINCI]
We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the land..
But it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand..
He sends us snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain…
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain…
All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above
Then thank the Lord, thank the Lord for all his love…
[CHORUS]
We thank thee then, O Father, for all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest, our life our health our food,
No gifts have we to offer for all thy love imparts
But that which thou desirest, our humble thankful hearts!
[ALL]
All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above..
Then thank the Lord, thank the Lord for all his love..
I really wanna thank you Lord!
All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heaven above..
Then thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord for all his love..
Song Title:
You’ll Never Walk Alone. From the musical: Carousel
Performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Lyrics:
(Oscar hammerstein/Richard Rodgers)
from the musical, Carousel
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Funny politically themed song.
