What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but don't go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

mots press廥, mots sens廥,
mots qui disent la v廨it?mots maudits, mots mentis,
mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit

Its a rap race, with a fast pace
Concrete words, abstract words
Crazy words and lying words
Hazy words and dying words
Words of faith and tell me straight
Rare words and swear words
Good words and bad words

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words

Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say
Panty, toilet, dirty devil
Words are trouble, words are subtle
Words of anger, words of hate
Words over here, words out there
In the air and everywhere
Words of wisdom, words of strife
Words that write the book I like
Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution
Say the right word, make a million
Words are like a certain person
Who can't say what they mean
Don't mean what they say
With a rap rap here and a rap rap there
Here a rap, there a rap
Everywhere a rap rap

Rap it up for the common good
Let us enlist the neighbourhood
It's okay, I've overstood
This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye.

He'll stop ... Don't stop ... Stop.

Hold the symbol to your forehead Close your eyes Call the spirit of the symbol Come to me Call the symbols of the golden age One by one Call the water, fire, air and earth Come to me As above, so below As above, so below As above, so below As above, so below Behold the door appears before you Walk on through Observe the doorway now behind you Look ahead Call the spirit of the symbol Come to me Allow the deity to guide you Follow me As above, so below As above, so below As above, so below As above, so below A web of thought; of tangled vision Humanity Tear away the veil before me Set me free Tales to picture that you give to me Memory Tear away the minds that bind me Liberty As above, so below As above, so below As above, so below As above, so below Thank the spirit of the symbol Once you see Raise your finger to your lips now Sign of Silence Find the doorway of the symbol Pass on through Find the doorway of the symbol Pass on through...

Oh when the sun beats down
And burns the tar on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof

Under the Boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my boyfriend's where I'll be

Under the Boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the Boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the Boardwalk, people walking above
Under the Boardwalk, we'll be making love
Under the Boardwalk, Boardwalk

From the park you hear the happy sound
Of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
And french fries they sell

Under the Boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my boyfriend's where I'll be

Under the Boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the Boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the Boardwalk, people walking above
Under the Boardwalk, we'll be making love
Under the Boardwalk, Boardwalk

Under the Boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my boyfriend's where I'll be

Under the Boardwalk, out of the sun
Under the Boardwalk, we'll be having some fun
Under the Boardwalk, people walking above
Under the Boardwalk, we'll be falling in love
Under the Boardwalk, Boardwalk

Boardwalk, Boardwalk ...
