L.U.V. – John Mellencamp

Guilty ’till proven innocent.
I’m thinking about the government
Wondering where the money went.
Into outer space, I guess.
Lying cs’s everywhere.
Pretty boys in their underwear.
Statue of Liberty.
Who really cares
About freedom.

Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv

Throw up, throw down.
Get yourself a better town.
All these towns look the same
Self pity, number one recreation.
We’re dying in the USA.
Preacher man, he keeps
Preachin’
While he covets your wife.
I ain’t sayin’ what’s good
I ain’t sayin’ what’s right.

Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv

Wait a minute, let me check my tan.
Am I the same color as Superman?
Helter skelter in a foreign land.
Monkeys versus dogs,
Lying under a big palm tree
With cream and bananas all over me.
That’s the way it’s supposed to be
Here in the Garden of Eden.

Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv
Singin’ about l-u-v baby, luv

Jackie O – John Mellencamp

So you went to a party at Jacqualine Onassis
If you’re so amart why don’t you wear glasses
So you can see what you’re doin’ to me
So you can see what you’re doin’ to me
So you can see what tomorrow might bring

Underneath your breath you know I heard you cussin’
You were talkin’ to my second cousin
Were you talkin’ about me
Were you talkin’ about me
You better put on your glasses so you can see
So you can see what tomorrow might bring

Can your daddy get us backstage passes
You know that we love to dance
Can your daddy give us backstage passes
With all his political power
With all his political power
It seems to me like you could dance better than you do

So you went to a party at Jacqualine Onassis
If you’re so smart why don’t you wear glasses
So you can see what the future might bring
So you can see what tomorrow might be

Jackamo Road – John Mellencamp

I’d like to buy you a cabin cruiser
And we could sail around with our time
I’d like to get you, a southern mansion
And we could burn it down, down to the ground

But I’m movin on down
To Jackamo Road
On my way thru Georgia
And all the points unknown
Yeah, I’m going to heaven
I’ll come back to get you
Someday Someday Someday

Jackie Brown – John Mellencamp

Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town.
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?
This pretty little girl
In the worn out clothes
That have been hand-me down.
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?
With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you don’t see her frown.
Is this your family, Jackie Brown?

Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream
And giving the world more than it gave you.
What ugly truths freedom brings
And it hasn’t been very kind to you.
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?

Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Barely enough, I’ve seen people throw away more than this out.
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
This three room shack
With no running water
And the bathroom out back.
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took
himself out.
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?

Going nowhere and nowhere fast
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live.
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown?
Just another lazy man who couldn’t take what was his.
One helluva life Jackie Brown.
Forevermore, Jackie Brown
Amen and amen – Jackie Brown?

Jack And Diane – John Mellencamp

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
2 American kids growin up in the heartland
Jacky’s gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of Jacky’s car

Suckin’ on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane’s sittin’ on Jacky’s lap
He’s got his hand between her knees
Jacky say “Hey Diane lets run off
Behind a shady tree”
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please.
And Jacky Say

Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeay say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on

Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best james dean.
Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city
Diane says “Baby, you aint missin’ no-thing”
Jacky say a

Chorus

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come down
And Save My soul
Hold on to 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two american kids doing the best they can

J.M.’s Question – John Mellencamp

Virginia’s in the bath house sayin’,”Don’t drink the water,”
And I’m already in the swimmin’ pool.
The woman in the straw hat said, “The meat ain’t worth eatin’,”
And sunbathin’ here, baby, ain’t so cool.
There’s a hole in the ozone and the rats all got cancer
From too much tartar and nicotine.
Well, what kind of world do we live in
When the babysitter treats all the kids so mean?

No tresspassing will blow your brains out,
Will do it with atomic bomb.
They’re cuttin’ down the rain forest and the food here’s fattenin’,
And I hope there’s no satanic message in this song.
But, there’s Live Aid and Farm Aid and all kind of hand grenades
To help us all get along.
Well, what kind of world do we live in
When ev’rything we do turns out so wrong?

Well, what kind of world do we live in
When eleven and seven equals two? Yeah.
What kind of world do we live in
When you do it to your buddy ‘fore he does it to you?
Got to do it to your buddy ‘fore he does it to you.

The preacher he hands out verse and scripture
Just like he wrote it down himself.
Doctors and lawyers got a good thing going,
But that ain’t no place to go if you need help.
There’s too much sodium in my heartburn medicine
And I think I need to lay down for awhile.
Well, what kind of world do we live in
When ev’rything we do we do with such style?

Well, what kind of world do we live in
When eleven and seven equals two? Yeah.
What kind of world do we live in
When you do it to your buddy ‘fore he does it to you?
Got to do it to your buddy ‘fore he does it to you.

I Ain’t Ever Satisfied – John Mellencamp

I love the things that scare most folks to death
But I ain’t ever satisfied
I’ll stay till the end or till I’m gasping my last breath
But I ain’t ever satisfied
No, I am never satisfied

I can pretty much come and go as I like
But I ain’t ever satisfied
Hey, with no bottom line it’s hard to know wrong from right
But I ain’t ever satisfied
I’ll try anything once but then do it to death
But I ain’t ever satisfied
I expect the worst but I hope for the best
Oh, I ain’t ever satisfied
No, I ain’t ever satisfied
No, no, no, no, I am never satisfied

Can’t get enough, no, of nothing

I’ve got seven of everything and more in the till
But I ain’t ever satisfied
You think this is dangerous stuff
It ain’t even a thrill
I ain’t ever satisfied
Oh, I am never
No, I am never
I don’t know why I ain’t ever satisfied
