(1) I came across a wond'rous tree
As prickly as a porcupine
This cactus tree bore luscious fruit
And giant roses red as wine
It rose so high into de sky
Its top was far, far out of sight
Its leaves recoiles from the day
And then they turned to gold at night
And if you bored into its bark
Hot coffee poured out rich and dark

(*) Liar, liar,liar,liar,liar,liar
I'm sick and tired of lies from you
But how I wish your lies were true
Liar, liar,liar,liar,liar,liar
Truth is as hard and tough as nails
That's why we need fairy tales
I'm all through with logical conclusions
Why should I deny ,myself illusions
-------------------------------------
(2) I saw a film the other day
That really varied from the norm
There were no soldiers on parade
And no one marched in uniform
Its heroes were not supermen
And no one even shot a gun
The audience still loved the film
Though not a single war was won
But I was really shock to see
This film was made in germany
--------------------------------------

(3) I saw a court of law where all
The justices were just again
Where all the lawyers worked for free
And all of them were honest men
You could be rich you could de poor
You could be Christian or a Jew
Your politics did not have sway
On how a judge would rule on you
Their hearts were young
Their minds were free
They judge all men aqually
(4) I saw a woman trying hard
To feed her family of ten
She was so poor and destitude
And worse was pregnant once again
She knew what they would say in church
She sought a doctor out instead
Who told her if she had the child
That she herself might well end dead
Then in a calm and gentle voice
He said the law says its your choice
(*)
(5) I saw a brave republic where
One banner flew for all to see
Its stripes of black and red and gold
Proclaim a new democracy
All banners from the past were banned
The empire's black and white and red
Yes now the black and red and gold
Is flying everywhere instead
And nowhere will you see those flags
Which sport thar thing that zigs and zags
(*)
(6) I saw a land that hated war
And melted all its weapons down
To build a boat of love for kids
Who planned to sail from town to town
Declaring peace for all the world
Let killing now come to an end
Embrace your enemies instead
Your former foe is now your friend
Ev'ry conflict now will cease
And all of us will live in peace
