Terra Bella

In the struggle for parity, not one man’s voice can sound
’cause the foundation of the conglomerate is firmly in
    the ground
Yeah they wanna feed the world, but for power and for greed
Then they’ll cut off the supply until they get what they need

Well I hate to say the farmer was the last of a dying breed
Living off the land and taking what he needs
Don’t say much for the future when a family can’t survive
I hate to say the farmer was the last of his kind

There you stand in your wedding dress
You’re so beautiful that I must confess
I’m so proud you have chosen me
When a doctor is what you want to be

You know I want to be a painter, girl
A real artistic snob
But I guess we’ll have our children first
You’ll find a home, I’ll get a job

Sometimes I wonder, oh how can I go on?
But I know that the world you make inside your head
That’s the one you see around, that’s what I said
And the one you see
Is the one you make

Through all kinds of weather
We stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two different faces
But in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who’ve seen us
Know that nothing could come between us

You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant
Walk right in it’s around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant

Keep me around
My whole life long
And when I’m gone
Don’t you bury my bones
Keep me around
It’s not that I’m jealous
I’d just make a lovely stand for umbrellas
And you can toss your keys
In the caps of my knees
When you come back from town

I used to be a has been
A fashion of the past
I was wearin’ kinda thin
But I guess I was built to last
’Cause she left this year’s model
And called me up at once
To tell me she was through
With all these young punks
