I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP 2.43 (Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up

How do you move in a world of fog that's always
Changing things Makes wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow up

Seems that folks turn into things that they
Never want The only thing to live for is today...

I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest I don't wanna grow up

I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubtI don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin' all night I don't wanna grow up

I'd rather stay here in my room Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up

Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon I don't wanna grow up



MAKIN MONSTERS FOR MY FRIENDS 2.33 (Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey)

Everybody said so man you could see it on T.V.
They stood there ashamed with nowhere to go
Nobody wants them now the kids are alright
Every day is a holiday and pushin' people around

I'm making monsters for my friends
I'm making monsters for my friends

Someone caught one I could see so myself
I had to call 254 so they wouldn't blame me
We wanted to know how much trouble there was
When we asked our daddy he said it's just because

I'm making monsters for my friends
I'm making monsters for my friends

I don't wanna open a can of worms and I don't want any Spagetti-O's
And I could always tell when someone is holding a grudge

I'm making monsters for my friends
I'm making monsters for my friends
I'm making monsters for my friends
I'm making monsters for my friends



IT'S NOT FOR ME TO KNOW 2.50 (Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey)

Easy come and easy go for me that was the fun
It was something that I didn't think was so bad
Now I'm lookin' out my window but I don't know where I am
And I've give up trying to understand what I can't

I don't have any illusions anymore I've done all that I can do

It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

I stood under the moonlight to ill-luminate myself
Something I fell into from being kicked around

I don't have any illusions anymore I've done all that I can do

It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

No one seemed to notice seeing from smoke screen eyes

You can get what you want but I don't think it is true

I don't have any illusions anymore I've done all that I can do

It's not for me to know It's not for me to know
It's not for me to know It's not for me to know

It's not for me to know It's not for me to know



THE CRUSHER 2.24 (Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey)

Now I wanna wrestle in the garden I'm on my way to stardom
I know I'm ready I know I'm great But first I have to get in shape
Cause I've got my eyes on the Russian Bear Gonna tear him up I swear
This guy thinks he's the champion Gonna take his belt and beat him!

I'm the crusher king of the ring I'm the crusher king of the ring
I'm the crusher king of the ring I'm the crusher king of the ring

I'm ready for a match with the Russian Bear Gonna pile drive him pull his hair
I might have a foreign object in my trunks I might have to use on that punk

Got the hardest hold you can put on anyone If you're my victim you're beaten
I'm a lean mean fighting machine Powerful and strong like King Kong

I'm the crusher king of the ring I'm the crusher king of the ring
I'm the crusher king of the ring I'm the crusher king of the ring

Started having second thought I was scared as hell The last thing I wanted was to hear them ring the bell I mean the Russian Bear could probably tear me limb from limb
He'd probably grin be real happy with himself This is not good for my health
I'm not coming out of the dressing room and get beaten up by that goon

Go back to Russia go back home! Don't wanna get a broken bone
Or a lump on my head Ain't gonna hide under the bed

I'm the crusher king of the ring I'm the crusher king of the ring
I'm the crusher king of the ring I'm the crusher king of the ring

I'm the Crusher



LIFE'S A GAS 3.35 (Joey Ramone)

So don't be sad cause I'll be there Don't be sad at all



TAKE THE PAIN AWAY 2.40 (Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey)

I went out today for a walk in the rain I was so sad and blue I could
Feel any pain I was worried about everything my head began to how
I am running away from myself there's too many demons around here now

Everybody I don't know what to say I wish I could take the pain away
Everybody I don't know what to say I wish I could take the pain away

But that can't happen and everybody knows it's true
And if you have to know I'll never understand you
So if you have to go then you'd better go now
Go off somewhere safe I hope you will somehow

Everybody I don't know what to say I wish I could take the pain away
Everybody I don't know what to say I wish I could take the pain away

Everybody I don't know what to say I wish I could take the pain away
Everybody I don't know what to say I wish I could take the pain away



I LOVE YOU 2.21 (J Genzale)

When I look in your eyes I see words I can't describe
And these words I'm tellin' you And I tell you I love you
Don't try to put me down Just because my back is turned around
I'm playing is strait for once cause baby I love you
I really do there's no one else like you, Baby I love...

Baby I love you No matter what you do
Baby I love you and I tell you I love you
Don't try to put me down Just because my back is turned around
I'm playing it strait for once baby I love you
I really do There's no one like you Baby I love...

Cause baby I love you I really do There's no one else like you
Baby I love you Baby I love you Baby I love you Baby I love you
Baby I love you Baby I love... Baby I love you no matter what I do
Baby I love you and I tell you I love you...




CRETIN FAMILY 2.08 (Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey)

I am not so upset about my horrible self
But why don't you go upset yourself
Hey here's the mirror see your stupid face
What a disgrace man and you know it's true

Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Everyone's against me
Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Oi-Oi-Oi-Oi

Don't stare at me it's freakin' me out
Look what's happening now it's all your fault
You can't do nothin' absolutely nothing' o.k.
Why don't you get a hoola hoop and do the cretin hop and

Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Everyone's against me
Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Oi-Oi-Oi-Oi
I'm never wrong don't tell me what to do

You'll be miserable every day your luck will always be bad

Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Everyone's against me
Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Oi-Oi-Oi-Oi

Cretin family Cretin family Cretin family Everyone's against me

HAVE A NICE DAY 1.41 (Marky Ramone and Skinny Bones)

I heard it from the gangster I heard it from the priest
I heard it from my best friend Way down in the middle east

Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day
Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say

I heard from the landlord When he kicked me out
I heard it from the spirits As they possessed my house

Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day
Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say

When they look me in the eye I turn the other way
It's just a trained reaction something they gotta say... yeah

I heard it from New Zealand I heard it at the club
I heard it from my doctor Before he pulled the plug

Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day
Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say
Have a nice day. That's all I hear every day
Have a nice day. I don't believe a word you say



SCATTERGUN 2.30 (C.J. Ramone)

Smooth bore, scattergun, you are the only one To cover me
When I sleep, cover me in my dreams carry a smooth bore
Scattergun, steal from me there'll be no time to run I got
The bead on you, she fires true Take what you want and I'll
Do what I have to do Smooth bore, scattergun, scattergun, scattergun

Triple-O bucks the only shot for me Cut any man right off at the knees
Don't need to bother the police, I've got my Mossberg 590

Smooth bore, scattergun, you are the only one To cover me when
I sleep, cover me in my dreams carry a smooth bore Scattergun,
steal from me there'll be no time to run I got the bead on you,
She fires true Take what you want and I'll do what I have to do
Smooth bore, scattergun, scattergun, scattergun

Smooth bore, scattergun, you are the only one
To cover me when I sleep, cover me in my dreams carry
A smooth bore Scattergun, scattergun, scattergun

BORN TO DIE IN BERLIN 3.31 (Dee Dee Ramone and John Carco)

Intoxicated by the orchids abandoned in the garden Demanding morphine
Curse my soul is burning Stranded in the sweet wonderings breathing the
Pale moon silver Torn painted lips tasting the last drops of life

Sometimes I feel like screaming Sometimes I feel I just can't win
Sometimes I feelin' my soul is as restless as the wind Maybe
I was born to die in Berlin

I sprinkled cocaine on the floor when no one was watching I closed
My eyes and I let myself sleep Creeps and dirty bastards, demons waitin'
by my bed There's no choice or difference, no one seems to notice

Sometimes I feel like screamin' Sometimes I feel I just can't win
Sometimes I feelin' my soul is as restless as the wind
Maybe I was born to die in Berlin

(Third verse in German)

Sometimes I feel like screamin' Sometimes I feel I just can't win
Sometimes I feelin' my soul is as restless as the wind

Maybe I was born to die in Berlin Maybe I was born to die in Berlin



SPIDERMAN (Robert Harris/ Paul Francis Webster)

Spiderman, Spiderman Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web any size Catches thieves just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spiderman

Is he strong? Listen Bud He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread ? Take a look overhead
Hey, there! There goes the Spiderman

In the chill of the night At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light He arrives just in time

Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward
Look out, here comes the Spiderman

Spiderman, Spiderman Friendly neighborhood, Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he ignores Action is his reward
To him, life's a great big bang up Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spiderman!

SOMEBODY PUT SOMETHING IN MY DRINK 3.23 (Richie Ramone)

Somebody Somebody Put Something In My Drink Somebody

Another night out on the street Stopping for my usual seat
Oh, bartender, please

Tanqueray & tonic's my favorite drink I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks...it's not for me

It feels like somebody put something Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something Somebody put something

Blurred vision and dirty thoughts Feel out of place, very distraught
Feel something coming on

Kick the jukebox, slam the floor Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think Hey! What's in this drink?

It feels like somebody put something Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something...in my drink...in my drink...in my drink...in my drink

So you think it's funny A college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think Hey! Give me a drink

It feels like somebody put something Somebody put something in my drink

Somebody put something Somebody put something in my drink

ANIMAL BOY 1.50 (Dee Dee Ramone/ Johnny Ramone)
Gonna kill and destroy
I'm not an animal boy
Why don't they understand
I'm not an ape man

Don't have brain damage
I'm not an a wild savage
Don't push me around
Don't bring my head down

I'm not an imbecile
Don't treat me like an animal
I'm not a creature in the zoo
Don't tell me what to do

You don't know what it's like
You don't know how i feel
I don't have a monkey's brain
I'm not an animal

You can't lock me in a cage
This ain't the Stone Age
Better get out of my way
Someone's gonna have to pay

Animal boy
Animal boy

LOVE KILLS 2.19 (Dee Dee Ramone)

Sid was a punk rock king Nancy was a broken queen
Their lives were so glamorous Sid and Nancy were a mess

When you're hooked on heroin Don't you know you'll never win
Drugs don't ever pay You really did it your way

Love kills Love kills Love kills

We still believe in anarchy It makes me so damn angry
Sid and Nancy meant a lot to me You may be dead but your souls are free
Like Romeo and Juliet You two made a pact of death
Like the needle that ya used Sid and Nancy were born to lose
Love kills Love kills Love kills

Sid never meant any harm He shot some dope into his arm
All he wanted was some fun Now she's lying in a pool of blood
Always loaded, always high Why did you have to die?
I'll say one thing is It leaves me with a bitter taste

Love kills Love kills Love kills

Love kills Love kills Love kills

Love kills Love kills Love kills



APEMAN HOP 2.02 (Dee Dee Ramone)

He's go so many problems You can count them one by one
He's a filthy, stupid apeman He never has any fun
He lives in the jungle in a cave by a hill Plays an old loud drum
He's primitive, barely human

Apeman hop, apeman hop

Paint the face of a demon, glowing by the fire light Hoppin' like an elephant
Thunderin' like me tonight He's the world's worst recycler
The iceman comes a lot He's the devil's apprentice He's a prehistoric man

Apeman hop, apeman hop

At night he's gonna sacrifice his beloved apeman girl
Tie her to the alter, pull out her heart and eat her flesh

Apeman hop, apeman hop, apeman hop, apeman hop



SHE BELONGS TO ME 3.54 (Dee Dee Ramone/ Jean Beavoir)

What makes you think she'll go with you What makes you think you're better than me
You think you can read her mind Maybe you're just looking for a good time
Maybe you can give her more Tell me what you're doing this for
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me

You come around looking for kicks But I know all about your dirty tricks now
You think you took away my dream Ain't gonna be easy 'cause I get real mean
Get out of here, get out of my life You're gonna be sorry if we have to fight
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me

Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me She belongs to me She belongs to me

BONZO GOES TO BITBURG 3.55 (Dee Dee Ramone/ Jean Beauvoir)

You've got to pick up the pieces C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician Don't become one of Hitler's children

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway Who am I, am I to say

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

If there's one thing that makes me sick It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast Somehow they manage to make it last

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

My brain is hanging upside down I need something to slow me down

Day, day after day, it never changes, always the same way
Day after day, day after day, day after

Demons in my head, in my head, inside this private hell Oh yeah, oh yeah I'm not feeling very well

Frustration, disgust, aggravation, disgust, mental hell Oh yeah, oh yeah I'm not feeling very well

EAT THAT RAT 1.37 (Dee Dee Ramone/ Johnny Ramone)

One-two-three-four

You don't want to share with anyone else You got all the money, you got all the wealth
You got all the buildings and the factories You got all the power and the ceremonies

You wanna play a game of cat and mouse With the President in the White House
This is a hungry world, there are months to feed There are millionaires with more than they need

Eat that rat Eat that rat Eat that rat Eat that rat

One-two-three-four

Don't believe what you've been told You can't change a turd into gold
Somehow we get all these creeps in control It makes me throw up in the toilet bowl

You thieving whore, you hustle for bucks You take the money and you shoot it up
That's the breaks, it's the chance you take Get it together for your children's sake

Eat that rat Eat that rat Eat that rat Eat that rat

HAIR OF THE DOG 2.19 (Joey Ramone)

When I woke up this morning from the night before
My brain was pulsating, I was battered and sore
Nothing I tried would satisfy Cold Coke and Pepsi or Canada Dry

What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog

What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog

Finally pulled myself out of my bed Feeling kinda dodgy, I was feeling half dead
Done it before, probably do it again Don't know if I ever will learn

What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog<BR
What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog<BR
Hair of the dog Hair of the dog

Finally pulled myself out of my bed Feeling kinda dodgy, I was feeling half dead
Done it before, probably do it again Don't know if I ever will learn

What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog
What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog
What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog
What's so wrong, hair of the dog There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog



SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN 4.01 (Dee Dee Ramone/ Jean Beauvoir)

I wish I was someone else I'm confused, I'm afraid, I hate the loneliness
And there's nowhere to run to Nothing makes any sense, but I still try my hardest

Take my hand Please help me man 'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in
And I don't know where to start And I don't know where to begin, to begin

If I was stupid or naive Trying to achieve what they all call contentness
If people weren't such dicks and I never made mistakes Then I could find forgiveness

Take my hand Please help me man 'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in
And I don't know where to start And I don't know where to begin, oh no

I can't be someone else I don't feel that it's hopeless I don't feel that I'm useless

I can't throw it all away I need some courage to find my weakness
And with your love, I know with all my heart I can win

'Cause I'm looking for something to believe in And I just need something to believe in
I'm looking for something to believe in And I just need something to believe in

SITTING IN MY ROOM

Sitting in my room record player on
Sitting in my room humming a sickening tune
Sitting in my room something to do soon

We know what we think of them the problems just
Keep piling in they got complaints about everything

It's us against them It's us against them
It's us against them

They just wanna worry that's not what any kid
Should have to do they just wanna be so lame
Maybe they should try and sniff some glue

ROAD TO RUIN

I JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
I WANTED EVERYTHING
DON'T COME CLOSE
I DON'T WANT YOU
NEEDLES AND PINS (Bono/Nitzsche)
I'M AGAINST IT
I WANNA BE SEDATED
GO MENTAL
QUESTIONINGLY
SHE'S THE ONE
BAD BRAIN
IT'S A LONG WAY BACK



I JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO

Hanging out on Second Avenue Eating chicken vindaloo
I just want to be with you I just want to have something to do
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Wait-Now Wait-Now

Hanging out all by myself Cause I don't want to be with anybody else
I just want to be with you I just want to have something to do Tonight



I WANTED EVERYTHING

I heard about the Easter bunny Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy There was no Mom or Daddy
I wanted everything I wanted everything I wanted everything

I had the world on my shoulder But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it Some kind of employment
I wanted everything I wanted everything I wanted everything

All day working on a truck Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary No tip for the delivery
I wanted everything I wanted everything I wanted everything

There's no success for me Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket And I'm goin' in after it
I wanted everything



DON'T COME CLOSE

You know it's generally known You got everything at home
Kisses out of desperation Bring you more aggravation
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close

You bring out your souvenirs Soak them wet with your tears
You lose your imagination Out of more aggravation
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close

You turn red with rage But act your age
Only thing that your regret You need more time to forget
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close



I DON'T WANT YOU

You said that you'd be true Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you Don't want you I don't want you anymore

You said that you'd be mine Baby said that you'd be mine
I don't care, I don't care I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you Don't want you I don't want you

I want you, I want you I want you to stay

But I guess that you'd be true I don't care, I don't care I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you Don't want want you I don't want you anymore


NEEDLES AND PINS

I saw her today, I saw her face It was a face I love
And I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
Still it begins Needles and pins

Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart I stole her heart
Didn't think I do But now I see
She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead
Take his love instead And one day she will see just how to save me
And get down on her knees That's how it begins
She'll feel those needles and pins - oh, no - oh, no

Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong Because I saw her today
I saw her face It was a face I love
And I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray that they go away
Still it begins Needles and pins

Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide
Hey! Needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins

I'M AGAINST IT

I don't like politics I don't like communists
I don't like games and fun I don't like anyone
Well I'm against it I'm against it

I don't like Jesus freaks I don't like circus geeks
I don't like summer and spring I don't like anything
I don't like sex and drugs I don't like waterbugs
I don't care about poverty All I care about is me

I don't like playing ping pong I don't like the Viet Cong
I don't like Burger King I don't like anything
And I'm against it



I WANNA BE SEDATED

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do Nowhere to go I wanna be sedated

Just get me to the airport And put me in a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain Oh no oh ho

Just put me in a wheelchair And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes Oh no oh ho



GO MENTAL

Out of the hospital Out against my will
Life is so beautiful I've gone mental
Mental Mental

I've killed my family They thought I was an oddity
Life is so beautiful I am a vegetable
Mental Mental

I've gone mental I've gone mental
Staring at my goldfish bowl Popping phenobarbitol
Life is so beautiful I've gone mental Mental Mental

Sitting on my window sill Life is so beautiful
I've become irrational I've gone mental
Mental Mental I've gone mental



QUESTIONINGLY

Questioningly her eyes looked at me And then she spoke
Aren't you someone I used to know And weren't we lovers a long time ago?
Looked at her close Forced her into view

Yes, I said, you're a girl That I once may have knew
But I don't love you anymore Why do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by Memories make us cry

In the morning I'm at work on time My boss tells me that I'm doing fine
When I'm going home Whiskey bottle movie on the TV
Memories make me cry And I'm alone just me Just me questioningly



SHE'S THE ONE

Yeah yeah she's the one Yeah yeah she's the one
When I see her on the street You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so She's the one She's the one

Yeah yeah she's my girl Yeah yeah she's my girl
When I see her on the street You know she makes my life complete
And you know I told you so She's the one She's the one She's the one

Know I'll never find a girl like you But in my heart I'll always love you
But in my heart I'll always be true Yeah yeah she's my girl The best girl in the whole wide world



BAD BRAIN

I used to be an A student I never used to complain
I used to be a truant But I'm still the same
Bad bad brain Bad bad brain

I used to go to parties I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain Bad bad brain

I used to be in show biz I used to have fortune and fame
I used to have pleasure and pain I used to have a name
Bad bad brain

Now I'm on the Bowery I can't remember my name
Bad bad brain Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain bad bad brain



IT'S A LONG WAY BACK

You by the phone You all alone
It's a long way back to Germany

THE RAMONES - TOO TOUGH TO DIE


MAMA'S BOY

Could't keep a secret got a concrete skull
Couldn't shut up you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog there's nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up got a bad bad brain

Couldn't hold your tongue You were just
Too young like a two year old you told
You told You are all the same jelly
Bean brain Every one's a secret nerd.
Every one's closet lame

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy

Don't want to work in a hot dog stand
Be a busboy messenger or a doorman
It's an abstract world you're an
Abstract man Abstract city don't give a damn



I'M NOT AFRAID OF LIFE

I am not afraid of life of the poor
Man's struggle of the killer's knife
I am not afraid of life of an insane rage
Of the minimum wage I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life

But I see an old lady with a shopping bag
And I wonder is life a drag

I am not afraid of pain but it hurts so bad
I feel so mad No one see the truth there's
Nothing to gain A life goes down the drain
Don't want to die at an early age

I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life

But I see a street crazy shivering with
The gold Is it a crime to be old

There's the threat of the nuclear bomb
We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace Will the fighting
Ever cease. Mankind's almot out of luck
A maniac could blow us up

I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life

But I get down on my knees and I pray
Is there hope for the world today



TOO TOUGH TO DIE

I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy
I tell no tales I do no lie

I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy
Halo round my head too tough to die

Main attraction ia a freak side show
Down in the basement where the cobwebs grow
On my last leg just gettin' by
Halo round my head to tough to die

Rainy days rain cool wine I'll scratch your
back if you scratch mine hot sweat on my face
I feel like going' out someplace

Up late at night my chocolate sweet
Down at the gym where the muscle boys meet
I am a very nice guy very sincere
In real good shape I have no fear

At the concert when the band comes on
I am in the ring where belong
On my last leg just gettin' by
Halo round my head too tough to die

DANGER ZONE

New York is a real cool town Sociey really
Brings me down Our playground is a pharmacy
Kids find trouble so easily

Other countries are just so bad The soviets really
Make me mad on the boulevard where the police hide
Let's steal a car for a joyride

They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid you flipped your lid
You love wine like they love cash
Feel your rage spread like a rash

You flipped your lid You flipped your lid
You flipped your lid You flipped your lid
They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid You flipped your lid

All alone in the danger zone danger zone danger zone
All alone in the danger zone danger zone danger zone

HOWLING AT THE MOON (SHA-LA-LA) 4.06 (Dee Dee Ramone)

Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la

Ships are docking planes are landing
A never ending supply

No more narco no more gangster
Conservatives can cry

I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la

It was glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing in the dark
It was sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling in the dark
I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play

There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Winter turns to summer sadness turns to fun
Keep the faith, baby you broke the rules and won

Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la

Keep it glowing, glowing, glowing
I'm not hurting any one keep it glowing, smoking, glowing
I'm howling at the moon
I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Oh baby oh baby oh baby oh baby

I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play

I'm smoking, baby
I'm smoking, oh baby

There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la



DAYTIME DILEMMA (DANGERS OF LOVE)

She came from a happy home
A very happy home a very happy home

Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all worked out but things aren't what
They seem is this real or just a dream?
And things will never ever be the same again

She came from a happy home
A very happy home a home of happiness

Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all in place but things aren't what
they seem is this real or just a dream?
Things will never ever be the same again

The dangers, it's the dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers

She came from a happy home
A vey happy home a vert happy scene

She caught him with another it turns out it
Was her mother what a tragedy can things be
What they seem is this just some crazy dream
Things may never ever be the same again

The dangers, it's dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers

Keep telling li-ie-ies, but you dis you know you did
It's coming,. it's coming,. it's coming

The dangers, it's the dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers

What went wrong she couldn't tell but we know
It all too well

The dangers, it's the dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers

PLANET EARTH 1988 2.54 (

The solution to peace isn't clear the terrorist
Thret is a modern fear there are no jobs for the young
They turn to crime turn to drugs battle ships crowd the sea
16 year old in the army our jails are filled
To the max discrimination against the blacks

Russian and american war machine will destroy mankind's
Dream they shoot their missiles in the air they do not
Care they do not care guerrila armies rule the street
no more Christmas or trick or treat is this what
The future will bring I pray for peace more than anything

The solution to peace isn't clear the terrorist threat
Is a modern fear there is no future for the youth
There is no hope for the young death destruction
Bombs galore the rich are laughning at the poor
Our jails are filled to the max
Discrimination agains the blacks



HUMANKIND

Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see

People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, NO MORE

Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their name
Humankind are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies.
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see

People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, NO MORE

Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humans just got along
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is
what we nedd - (oh)

People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE,

People - yeah
People - yeah

In the dust my rage turns to insade lust

All depressed all alone I drift into the
Danger zone deadly spitten cobra life of crime

Something always goin' wrong hair trigger temper
Tormented mind deadly spitten cobra I am the losin' kind

The heart is the place devils congregate when you're
Raised on andiet of bickering at hate hair trigger
Temper tormented mind deadly spitten cobra
I am the losin' kind

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

RAMONES - VARIOUS LYRICS



INDIAN GIVER
I can still remember
It wasn't long ago.
Things you used to tell me,
You said I had to know.
Told me that you loved me
And that you always would.
Then I said I loved you.
You said that that was good.
Girl, you made a promise, said you'd never want me to go.
Oh no!

Indian giver, Indian giver,
You took your love away from me.
Indian giver, Indian giver,
Took back the love you gave to me.

Baby, I was feeling
The way I want to feel.
You had me believing
The love we had was real.
Things we did together
You said they'd never end.
"Now until forever." Yeah, that was what you said.
Girl, when I was down, I knew you'd always be there.
Oh, yeah!

Indian giver, Indian giver,
You took your love away from me.
Indian giver, Indian giver,
Took back the love you gave to me.



STREET FIGHTING MAN

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching charging feet, boy
Cause summer's here, and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy

But what can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock and roll band
'cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man

Hey! think the time is right for a palace revolution
But where I live the game to play
Is compromise solution

Well then what can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock and roll band
'cause this sleepy London town
Is just no place for a street fighting man

Hey, said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream
I'll kill the king
I'll rail at all his servants

Well what can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock and roll band
'cause this sleepy run down town
Is just no place for a street fighting man




I GOT YOU BABE

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so

I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe



I DON'T WANNA GET INVOLVED WITH YOU

I don't wanna get involved with you
That's not what I wanna do
Come knocking on my door
I'm gonna knock you on the floor
