A Place They Call The Machine - Ilko Birov

You're here, and I can see, that you're afraind
But don't be
They've got everything you need

It's like a story full of passion
You really feel alive

And you know, you know, you know, you know
you've really got no place to go
(Segregation, yet no crimes, people's tongues, race their minds)
It's just a place they call The Machine

Now, you want some television? Pop-corn or rice?
Perhaps a movie, perhaps two?
Want some television? Pop-corn or mice?

But you know, you know, you know, you know
You've really got nowhere to go
There's segregation, yet no crime, people's tongues, race their mind

That's what they call it, The Machine

At the Crossroads

Went down to the crossroads
Had myself a time
Down to the crossroads
Had myself a time
Nobody knew me, thought I was lying

I went down to Rosedale
Took my ride by my side
Went down to Rosedale
Took my ride by my side
Took a lot of thinkin', babe, woo-hoo, my whole life just passed me by

I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads
Tried to flad a ride
No-body seemed to see me, woo-hoo, everybody passed me by

Been down to the ball park
Ask my friend poor Willie Brown
Down to the ball park
Ask my friend poor Willie Brown
Don't you got a light now, son? Woo-hoo, I believe it's time to go

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Went down to the crossroads
Fell on my bended knees
Begged the Lord above for mercy, woo-hoo, help me if you please
