Be A Friend
Be a friend
You don’t need money
Be a friend
You don’t need glory
Be a friend
The pay is bigger in the end
If you’re a friend
Be a friend
You don’t need money
Just a disposition sunny
Just the wish to help
another
Get along some way or other
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who’s
un-befriended Just the will to give or
lend
This will make you
someone’s
friend
Chorus:
You
don’t need money
Be a friend
You don’t need glory
Be a friend
The pay is bigger in the end
If you’re a friend
Be a friend
You don’t need glory
Friendship is a simple story
Pass by trifling error blindly Gaze on honest effort kindly
Cheer the youth who’s
bravely trying
Pity him who’s sadly sighing
Just a little labor spend
On
the duties of a friend
<Chorus>
Be a friend
The pay is bigger
Though not written by a
figure
Than is earned by people
clever
In what’s merely self
endeavor
You’ll have friends
instead of neighbors
For the profits of your
labors
You’ll be richer in the end
Than a prince …
if you’re a
friend
<Chorus>

Slave of
Freedom
Whatcha doing this morning baby
Hope you’re doing some mourning baby
Some real good mourning
‘Cause something died between you and me
When you said you had to be free
I hope you’re happy as a slave of freedom
Whatcha doing this evening baby
Hope you’re doing some grievin’ baby
Some real good grievin’
Cause you said you had to be free
And now you know how cold it can be
I hope you’re happy as a
slave of freedom
You always talked so well
but weren’t too good at listenin’
Take off your rose colored glasses
and see what you’re missin’
Whatch doin’ this morning baby
You couldn’t heed a warning baby
Such a simple warning
And now you’ve been there
and you have seen
Life on the other side isn’t so green
I hope you’re happy as a
slave of freedom
Now you’ve seen how cold it can be
And you want to come back to me
But you see I’m happy as a
slave of freedom
