Song Lyrics:
Comfort Zone
(Hagop) 2004
What is your comfort zone?
Who do you love to hate as you smile
and pretend to be a friend?
Are you a homophobe?
Do you hate a Mexican
as you drink his beer and eat his tacos?
Do you believe in a free world,
believe in a class war,
and justice for all who are white?
What is your religion,
and who is your god,
as you burn a cross and bomb another country?
Insecurity leads to fear and hate Fear and hate, such a great waste of time
What is your breaking point?
When do you start to cry,
Can’t change the past only affect the future
Fear and hate, such a great waste of time
Indecision
(Mark) August 2004
I have a hard time making up my mind
It took ten days just to write that line
But if there’s one thing I know it’s how I feel about you
This indecision is nothing new… I want something new
Everytime I think I think about you
And now you’re gone I got nothing to do
So I take a chance and face life by myself
It's better without you it’s not a living hell
*
All the things I'm supposed to think about you
All the things I keep hearing--what's the truth?
You say I’ll be sorry and that I’m always wrong
And that I won’t miss you until you’re gone
But I don’t think so--I want something new
I wish I was wrong, I wish I had a clue… about what to do
What Have You Got?
(Hagop) August 2003
Take away all the money
and what have you got?
Take away good ideas
and what have you got?
Take away reasons to hang a black man
and what have you got?
Take away all the hatred
and what have you got?
You’ve got alot to think about
You’ve got alot to think about
You’ve got to choose which way to move
Take away the three piece suit
and what have you got?
Expose youself naked
and be your own hero!
Take away the oversized vehicles
and what have you got?
The size of your bank account
means nothing to me
Oh I miss all those sunny days
Sunday always seemed OKay
Sheesh Kabobs and soo many hugs
People kept alive only in memory
The more I remember the clearer I see
The more I look
This world upsets me soo
Take away the fascist leaders
and what have you got?
Take away the idiot cowboy
and save the planet
Take away three week wars
and what have we got?
Take away power and money
And that’s a good start
That's What They Tell You
(Hagop) 1992
It's okay that's what they say
Ridiculous games that people play
All in all that's what they tell you
I'm not the first to be the last
My memories are fading fast
All in all that's what they tell you
When everything you say becomes an anthem
And funny little jokes start to bomb
You realize you've made yourself a habit
And mommy's little boy is too far gone
Misery loves company
Holding hands just you and me
Sure enough that's what they tell you
It's days like this that I wish
I could fly to the moon and become a fish
All in all that's what they tell you
When everything you say becomes an anthem
And funny little jokes start to bomb
You realize you've made yourself a habit
And mommy's little boy is too far gone
Wake Up America
(Hagop) January 2004
Wake up America you're sleeping
This is not your golden dream
I'm afraid it's only a nightmare
Your freedom will cost you your dreams
World leaders they all know each other
Making money is the recipe
They're all masters of distraction
Masters of killing machines
There's Bushit on the airwaves
There's Bushit on the TV
George W. or his father
Let's not get Bushwhacked again
Don't believe what you read
Live Learn Die
(Hagop) November 2003
You may be rich, but your heart is bleeding
You live, you learn, you die
Let go of all the anger you’re keeping
You live, you learn, you die
You can’t talk about death without crying
You live, you learn, you die
You cant’t talk about love without smiling
You live, you learn, you die
Live learn and die
Live learn and die
Live learn and die
You live,you learn,you die
Time keeps ticking and we get older
You live, you learn, you die
Believe in yourself believe in one another
You live, you learn, you die
Don’t cuss and complain looking for others to blame
You live, you learn you die
Goodnight, goodlife, remember to think twice
You live, you learn you die
Live learn and die
Live learn and die
Live learn and die
You live,you learn,you die
Just stay alive!
Become Human
(Hagop) March 2003
Become the President by cheating
Become a liar by being a son, a son of a Bush
What is a terrorist in America?
The Ku Klux Klan or the LAPD?
Become human
What are you improving?
Are you helping make a change?
Become complacent watching TV
Become an activist by doing
Become a human just by feeling
Become a socialist by giving
Become human
What are you improving?
Are you helping make a change?
Become a fascist by wanting power
Become popular making promises
Become responsible stop hiding
Become responsible stop hating
Become human, start loving
Become human, stop hating
Become human, by feeling
Become human, by feeling
All The Greatest Things
(Hagop) October 2002
You can’t live without thanking your mother
You can’t live without thanking your father
All the greatest things are given to you
All the greatest things are given to you
Don’t let them slip away it’s a time for truth
You can’t judge a book by its cover or how much it weighs
Peace, love and understanding will show you the way
All the greatest things like laughing out loud
A rich man is a rich man when he’s loved and proud
All the time that’s wasted on anger and hate
Unconditional love can no longer wait
You can’t live without thanking your mother
You can’t live without thanking your father
All the greatest things are given to you
All the greatest things aren’t black and white
it takes a long, long time to learn to do what’s right
Let’s try to live arm in arm and eye to eye
All the greatest things will keep you alive
Contribution
(Hagop) October 2002
Everybody’s got a tattoo
Everybody’s piercing their body
They’re all dressed up with nothing to lose
And everybody’s son in love with their own public image
So what...What is?
Your contribution
Contribution
To the solution
Contribution
Everybody’s listening to hip hop
Popular culture rises from the bottom to the top
Ignorance and anger getting bigger and bigger
Take a good look around we’re a nation of whiggers
So what...What is?
Your contribution
Contribution
To the solution

Something for Free
(Hagop) July 1993
I’m just sittin’ here
And I’m thinking clear
I’ve got the world on my shoulders
And I’m sinking
Everybody wants something for free
Everybody wants something from me
Everybody’s so in love with themselves
That they can’t seem to help anybody else
Everybody wants something for free
I’m just wondering
How can it be?
And I’m thinkin’
Whatcha want from me?
And I’m asking
Can’t you see what I see?
It’s all wrong
If we only tried
To see the other side
Of tomorrow
You can’t always live for today
Everybody wants something for free
Everybody wants something from me
Everybody’s so in love with themselves
That they can’t seem to help anybody else
Everybody wants something for free
Long Live Love
(Hagop) May 2004
Are people united by hate more than love?
It's a dog eat dog world and everybody wants the bone
C'mon, c'mon you selfish people, you can do better than that
Wrap it up, deny it all, a lie is still a lie
And long live love
Long live love
People get confused when they get too many choices
Can't fool yourself you'll know it's real if you're being honest
C'mon, c'mon you selfish people, get up off of your asses
Wrap it up deny it all a lie is still a lie
And the love that you take is equal to the love you make
Be sure to leave enough love behind
And the greatest thing you'll learn
Is to love and be loved in return
Or watch it all fall to pieces before your eyes
Are people united by hate, more than love?
What in the world could be greater, greater than love?
What in the world's more precious, more precious than love?
Long live love!
