lyrics / bamboo
why do you hate him
why did you make him leave
there’s nothing wrong with him

why do you hate him

you want him crucified
is it the way he looks
or the way he speaks his mind

never hear this song playing on the radio

o there’s nothing wrong with him

but it’s you and your friends

never hear this song playing on the radio

all you ever did was talk about her

she’s done what she had to do
having to raise two kids without a father

you just stood by idly watched her suffer

you think you’re something special
boy you blew it! this conversation’s over…

never hear this song playing on the radio

there’s nothing wrong with her

but it’s you and your friends
fuck you and your friends

never hear this song playing on the radio

bamboo - alpha beta omega

album : light peace love (2005)

search and you'll define

the sky between the lines
i could never tell truth from victim
escape's a tired line
knock knock something's creeping
laying down the land smear on the wicked
now if you're ready to bleed
turn your head turn your head
from the right follow me
give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper
no gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother
fight me man to man look me in the eye
i got a family a feed
will i learn from this what can you teach me
it's out of control the times are crazy
we don't care who sits on the throne
doesn't matter to most of us
just don't mess with the status quo
lies paint my picture everyday
every stone's been thrown
lay siege to my kingdom
my cover's blown your blind dealing with death
every dollar a headstone
where the rich get richer
the poor just multiply
that's smart divide and conquer
i keep 'em entertained while you steal their hard earned mule
was there ever a time we dreamed for something better?
right now sounds real good
but your telling me to wait for fairer weather

let it rain fire from the sky heaven help us [do you truly believe]
only the strong should survive
with permission i make this my personal mission
save me from the fire

yes sir yes ma'am i get the picture

we educate the masses
who's gonna be cooking our dinners
such a waste of time
thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters
when you can pay below the minimum
shoot that man may i follow up that order
but all this talk don't come cheap
we all know what has to be done
our very own personal revolution
revolution revolution revolution
revolution revolution revolution
revolution revolution revolution

let it rain fire from the sky heaven help us [do you truly believe]
only the strong should survive
with permission i make this my personal mission
save me from the fire

now here you come walking into my part of town

telling people you have such a solution
quick fix you got a story
boy meets girl - stop they have kids
poppa works while ma raises the ten babies
she's praying every night that they'll one day hit the jackpot
9 lucky numbers win the lottery a million gets me out of this hole
but when the well dries up oh where do i go
little pablo doesn't even know how to read or write
i'm starving sweet ana so i can get a good price for her
2 down 8 to go oh wait he's got good skin tone got nice smile
an accent but kinda smells though
so where do you think you're going talking that kind of talk
that doesn't happen not on my watch no that doesn't happen
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
let's give 'em a fighting chance and see where this all goes
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
if i don't do nothing let's see where this all goes
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
they got front row seats don't tell me they know
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
they don't need you donation what about education
i ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls
no amount of praying gonna change their woes
let it rain fire from the sky heaven help us [do you truly believe]
only the strong should survive
with permission i make this my personal mission
save me from the fire

album : light peace love (2005)

take your best shot

you crossed the line

you think you've paid your dues
you're here to take what's mine
run for cover son this is no challenge for the weak
aint taking victims
ride this winter to the end
ride this winter to the end of the line

children of the sun

fight on fight harder
this is the call
children of the sun
fight on fight on

bamboo - dinner at 6
album : light peace love (2005)

dinner at 6 i can no longer wait

for your call ive been waiting for days
its hard for me to think you've forgotten my number
when we had such a nice chat the other day
nothing serious has happened
its been a good weekend
called my mother 3 times
streaks finally broken
its been awhile since i seen such a lovely face
will nothing spoil my day,let nothing spoil my day
im afraid to look
only to find could be like the rest
give me a sign
you think you've figured me out
im a mess you still want to stay
like fine wine this keeps getting better
with time whats the delay?
well i know this all looks bad
but underneath it all
but your timing couldnt been any better
this is my curtain call
well i know you know my name that little look you gave
gave you away
so behave ill be nice mother,dont need't be told twice
6 in the morning im still here,im still here
what you read in the paper yes i'll tell you their lies
stop looking't me with those vanishing eyes
the gods have spoken and im forced to fib
it was the night of night so i went out for a little drink
met up with an old friend said hello goodbye
i gotta go home only to find nobody
you afraid to take a hard look let me sell you my story
its tragic
so you think youve figured me out im a mess you still want to stay
save your tears for later, ive got something cooking
lets not delay...

well i know this all looks bad

but underneath it all
but your timing couldnt been any better
this is my curtain call
well i know you know my name that little look you gave
gave you away
so behave ill be nice mother,dont need't be told twice

better behave, take a better look at yourself

you better behave, take a better look at yourself
this is a shame,this is a shame
that ive fallen from grace,that im fallen from grace
i've fallen,ive fallen,ive fallen

bamboo - 04
album : light peace love (2005)

ill move on here lying in my cozy bed

whats next on my list too much to think about
maybe im better off dead
realize when everythings done and said i'd given up

goodbye friend we never really had a chance to talk

take a breath just a minute or two
let me try to find a reason for what you're about to do
what you are about to do

you got our attention let's all just settle down

so you did the uinmaginable oh i hope youre proud
cuz its never gonna be the same
cuz its never gonna be the same

brother is this it was this some race to end

save me from myself remind me what i have to do
cuz from time to time i seem to forget
oh yes the sun will rise once again
talk to you later,,friend

goodbye friend

i-you lyrics / bamboo

pain, leads to freedom
it's everyone's opinion, not my own
fame, crystal kingdom
it's everybody's mission, not my own

not too young, not that old

neither bitter, neither cold
just an optimist
who's turned a little cynical

under gloom, don't be afraid

love is stronger than it all
stronger than this soul divided

chorus
all these years, i never really knew what love is
i found you
i found you

all these years, i never really knew what love is

i found you
i found you

interlude

this new faith where the altar is my bed

this church feels like a hotel room
where gold turns to lead

hello, do you believe

love is stronger than us all
stronger than two souls divided

i, you burn like fire from below

sears the flesh, feeds the soul's desire
i, you stronger than before
rising through the dust like a phoenix

[repeat chorus]

ad lib
ooh oh

i, you burn like fire from below

sears the flesh, feed your soul's desire
i, you stronger than before
rising through the dust like a phoenix

[repeat chorus twice]

truth lyrics / bamboo

can't believe how you set me free

the way you purify this soul don't you know
got you into my arms now i'm never letting go
this old dog is finally home...finally home...so!

chorus:

ohh, tell me what you want

i'll pay the price
what's money i'll roll the dice
lose it all take the fall
let it ride
as long as i have you at my side
(repeat 2x)

friend or foe you come to me

wasn't sure how deep a hole i was getting into
if i choose to wake up every mornin with a smile of my face
or see life for what it is one big fat race...go!
(repeat chorus)

*chorus:

i've played the fool

thinking i can catch you off guard and score another night with you
but the tables have been turned
this boy's about to get burned
but before i go, i gotta know - i gotta know

let's not forget

you kept me waiting
what can i do to get through to you
tired of singin to myself
i need a lesson
i need a blessing
the shoe fits all we need is a little glue
i hate what you do

ohh, tell me what you want

ohh, tell me what you want
ohh, tell me what you want
ohh, tell me what you want...fuck you...
(repeat chorus)

ohh... it's been so good since i last saw you... ohh... child...
ohh... it's been so good since i last saw you... ohh...

much has been said lyrics / bamboo

much has been said
said you never leave
why'd it have to be
harder than it had to be
don't you throw blame
you were part of this
wasn't suppose to end
with us just walking away
so many times we tried
holding on to the pain but in my baby's eyes i see my shame
asking why you had to leave
wasn't i strong enough to make you see
that the biggest part of this it's not about you or me
but just be wrong if we held on

so maybe tomorrow we'll find

a taste for the old days hard lessons
we've left behind

this mirrors an open door i can barely stand to see myself i don't know what to do
anymore
i'm crying out for help
ohh lord
much has been said
will i never learn
keeping my fingers crossed
praying for my luck to turn
but i can't complain
i'm living it easy
job's keeping me busy
going crazy
can't describe the way it felt
when you left said your goodbyes
it just seems crazy for me to think
that i'll find love a second time
but we all know how it all wraps up in the end
maybe tomorrow we'll find..
a taste for the old days hard lessons
we've left behind

this mirrors an open door i can barely stand to see myself i don't know what to do
anymore
i'm crying out for help

ohh lord..
what am i leaving behind
sweet how we see the big picture when you're life's not on the line
i know the way but do you see what i see
a tortured life always second guessing the bookie
pot money on the table thought that was all i had to do
never came home
never said a word to you
no one ever said it was going to be easy

easy start over again this time this time

let's do it right
start over again this time this time
lets keep the fires burning

hallelujah lyrics / bamboo

anong balita sa radyo at tv?
ganun parin kumakapa sa dilim
minsan naisip ko nang umalis nalang dito
kalimutan ang lahat, lumipad, lumayo, oh

bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan huwag magalit

alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso
sa bawat sumpang umiiyak, singil ko ay piso
sa bawat lumuluhang dukha, alay ko'y dugo

may kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan

hanggat ako'y humihinga
may pag-asa pa..

halleluuu, hallelujaaah
sinong sawa, sinong galit
sumigaw ngayong gabi
halleluuu, hallelujaah
halellujah
run the blood of mine to convey
to see this faces in front of me.
yes we have, and we begin we are the scars from within

im ashamed of what i become in the mirror,

the face of my one true enemy!!!

hallelujah! some music!

let's take control!!!

if i have to take this message door to door

see myself in every soul!!!

with the mission

i'll make this my personal mission!!!

set me from the fire, from the fire,

set me from the fire!!!

ngayong gabi
ako ang sundalo mo
habang ika'y tulog
ako'y gising nakabantay sa iyo,
kasi mahal kita, kita mo,
pag-ibig ko sayo lamang...

may kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan

hanggat ako'y humihinga
may pag-asa pa..

halleeluuu, halleluiaaah
sinong sawa, sinong galit
sumigaw ngayong gabi
haleluu, halleluiaah (2x)

peace man lyrics / bamboo

i have words to say to you my friend
is it hard to know what's right from wrong
have you ever felt your life so self assured
you don't know the things that you've done wrong

and then we'll say

we'll rip out our covers
shake the walls until they break
i'll hold out my hand to you
supreme love and respect
peace man

at first it seems so daunting

how to start or how to grow
but make believe becomes a living
coz in life, in life you will know

peace mani have words to say to you my friend

is it hard to know what's right from wrong
have you ever felt your life so self assured
you don't know the things that you've done wrong

and then we'll say

we'll rip out our covers
shake the walls until they break
i'll hold out my hand to you
supreme love and respect
peace man

at first it seems so daunting

how to start or how to grow
but make believe becomes a living
coz in life, in life you will know

peace man
