From the "Karin" 7"

Cocktail Molitov
----------------

If this were the month of May,
May in '68
It means a lot to me.
Trapped in our useless words.
Trapped in more debate.
But it means a lot to me.
Kick down the old grey walls.
You know they had to fall.
But who would be the one 
to strike the first blow.
Take a look around and 
tell me what you've found. 
I'm 23 and I still don't know.
Things that I wanna see,
over and over again,
Mean so much more to me,
I don't feel I can pretend.
The revolution of everyday life
is what we agitate.
It means a lot to me.
The revolution of everyday life,
now is it too late?
It means a lot to me.


Understand
----------

This song is about a woman I met.
A slave to memories she can't forget.
Not just yet.
I didn't know there was anything wrong.
I guess that's probably why I wrote this song
The violation she endured was made possible
by the power that we secure.
There's no easy cure.
Living in a world of fear makes everything so unclear.
It's not just words like "Patriarchy."
It's not just words like "hierarchy."
It's not just words like "mysogyny."
It's a painful situation and it's staring right at me.
I try to understand.
For what it's worth coming from a man
Understand.
You know, I'm trying as hard as I can.


Step Back
---------

Everything is spinning
I feel my life pass me by
I'm falling down a hole.
They're gonna tell you that
everything is fine.
They're gonna tell you to 
sign on the dotted line.
My father told me to grow up and be
a man.
My mother's sympathy kept me in
their hands.
They didn't listen to a single thing
I said.
Then I'd reached a breaking point
and knew I'd be better off dead.
Step back if you need time to choose.
You've got nothing else to lose.
Leaving home is not easy but it may
be the only way.
I hate to see my mother cry.
But I had to make my last goodbye.
The longer I stayed at home, the more I felt so
all alone.
People go and people change.
I'm not the one to blame no blames.
I knew what I was living for, the
last time I walked out the door.


Confession
----------

I'll admit that life is grey,
But I carry on anyway.
I'll admit that things may not
get better.
But something makes me go on
and on.
I used to think of death before.
I gotta tell you it would be a lie,
If I said I found something deep inside.
There must be something, something I missed.
For all the world is now an electric place and its wrapped
up in your kiss.
There are somethings in this world like seeing
"West Side Story"...
There are somethings in this world like eating at
"Pancho Villa's"...
Tonite I'm walking in the rain and I don't care 
where 
I'm going.
