A LIFE OF OUR OWN
We were raised by a computer, we never had no mom or dad
And the rest of our life story is surely just as sad
Abandoned by the ones we loved in a world we couldn't understand
We never had no reasons, so we never made no plans
And now we're speeding down life's highway in white vinyl and chrome
But someday we're gonna live a life of our own
We always got in trouble with the teachers in our schools
We never respected nothing, never followed any rules
Outcasts at an early age, the first kids on the moon
I guess we found out a little too late, we grew up a little too soon
And now I guess we can't buy a split level home
But someday we're gonna live a life of our own
A life of our own
Now we're speeding down life's highways in white vinyl and chrome
But we're never gonna live a life of our own
We always got in trouble with the teachers in our schools
We never respected nothing, never followed any rules
Outcasts at an early age, the first kids on the moon
I guess we found out a little too late, we grew up a little too soon
And now I guess we can't buy a split level home
But someday we're gonna live a life of our own
A life of our own
Now we're speeding down life's highways in white vinyl and chrome
But we're never gonna live a life of our own
A life of our own
A life of our own
A life of our own
A life of our own
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love
Love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love
Love
Love is all you need
Nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love
Love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love
Love
Love is all you need
ELECTED
Top rank cut of meat, I'm your choice
I want to be elected
A yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls-Royce
I want to be elected
Kids want a savior, they don't need a fake
I want to be elected
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make
I want to be elected
Elected
Elected
Elected, woah
I want to be elected for the United States Of America
"Wait here Mr. and Mrs. America, I want you to see
the candidate who will take the country by storm."
I never lied to you, I've always been cool
I want to be elected
I taught you how to vote, and I told you 'bout school
I want to be elected
Elected
Elected
Hallelujah, woah
I want to be elected for the United States Of America
We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
We're gonna be elected
You and me together young and strong
We're gonna be elected
Elected
Elected
Respected, selected, call-collected
I want to be elected
If I'm elected I'm gonna support a new party
A third party, a world party
So be my punks from the west of the Bronx
New York, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, every fucking person
And personally I don't care
EVE OF DESTRUCTION
The eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flaring, bullets loading
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, then what's that gun you're totin'
When even the Jordan River has bodies floating
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The eve of destruction
Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fear that I feel today
If the button is pushed there's no running away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The eve of destruction
My blood's so mad, feels like coagulating
And I'm just sitting here contemplating
I can't change the truth, it has no regulation
A handful of senators won't pass legislation
And marchers alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegrating
This whole damn world is too frustrating
But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The eve of destruction
Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You might leave here for four days in space
But when you return it's the same bloody place
The beating of the drums and the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace
And you can hate your next-door-neighbor but don't forget to say grace
But you tell me
Over and over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The eve of destruction
Yeah, you don't believe we're on
The eve of destruction
EVENING OF DESIRE
You give me love
You me everything you can
You give me love
You make me feel like I'm a man
All night kisses set me on fire
You're guaranteed to bring an evening of desire
Look at you girl
Down on your knees
Your tender, loving lips
My slave, you're bound to please
You are my victim
I am your sire
We'll share our fantasies, an evening of desire
Evening of desire
Delight in your screams
You're the girl of my dreams
Evening of desire
Delight in your screams
You're the girl of my dreams
Evening of desire
Desire
Now you are powerless
Satisfaction bound
And you are speechless
You will not make a sound
Your chest is heaving
You're getting scared
I'll take you higher on an evening of desire
Evening of desire
Delight in your screams
You're the girl of my dreams
Evening of desire
Delight in your screams
You're the girl of my dreams
Evening of desire
Desire
Now you are powerless
Satisfaction bound
And you are speechless
You will not make a sound
Your chest is heaving
You're getting scared
I'll take you higher on an evening of desire
Evening of desire
Delight in your screams
You're the girl of my dreams
Evening of desire
Delight in your screams
You're the girl of my dreams
Evening of desire
Desire
GIMME YOUR AUTOGRAPH
Gimme your autograph
This one's gonna be your last
Gimme your autograph
You were my favorite star
It blew my mind the way you played your guitar
I followed you through every trend
But tonight that's gonna end
Gimme your autograph
This one's gonna be your last
Gimme your autograph
(Oh) I played your records through high school
(Oh) I always wanted to be like you
(Oh) They say that I'm to blame
They say that I'm insane
My only claim to fame was you
(Oh) I played your records through high school
(Oh) I always wanted to be like you
(Oh) They say that I'm to blame
They say that I'm insane
My only claim to fame
My only claim to fame
My only claim to fame was you
HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD
The full moon's light broken by the blades of a helicopter
People screaming, running, lights flashing
Suddenly, a beam of light from the overhead chopper detects my presence
He radios to the ground troops, and a hundred or more black leather boots,
Helmets hiding expressionless faces brandishing clubs, turn
And begin to pursue me down a bloody boulevard
Seeking refuge, I duck into a dark alley
An unseen hand covers my mouth and nostrils
History repeats itself, everything goes black
I'm looking over my shoulder and I'm keeping my nose clean
I'm on Hollywood Boulevard, in facist Germany
The moon is full and the streets are lined in blue
I'm on Hollywood Boulevard, they're coming after you
They're coming out
They're coming out
They're coming out in force tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out
So watch out for those flashing lights
Motorcycles buzzing, helicopters overhead
I think of another time and place and wish that I was dead
I see the people running, I see where people died
I try to seek shelter, but there's no place left to hide
They're coming out
They're coming out
They're coming out in force tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out
So watch out for those flashing lights
They're coming out in force tonight
So watch out for those flashing lights
I see what had moments ago been my best friend's
Now lifeless, battered, bloody body, barely recognizable
Come day or night, the black and white
Are looking out for you
And come the time you're out of line
They'll bring it down on you
They're coming out
They're coming out
They're coming out in force tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out
So watch out for those flashing lights
They're coming out
They're coming out
They're coming out in force tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out
So watch out for those flashing lights
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
They're coming out
They're coming out tonight
I DON'T WANNA FEEL THE PAIN ANYMORE
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I sit at home and wonder why
I let a bitch like you make me cry
'Cause I've got better things to do
Than waste my time thinking about you
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
You took advantage of the trust we had
And when I caught you, girl, you got mad
But I won't get down on my knees
Just to please you, girl
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
You took advantage of the trust we had
And when I caught you, girl, you got mad
But I won't get down on my knees
Just to please you, girl
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I DON'T WANNA GO
What am I doing here
I don't know
Where are they taking me
I don't wanna go
They got a chain around my neck
A dagger in my back
Down a long, long corridor
What am I doing here
I don't know
Where are they taking me
I don't wanna go
They got a chain around my neck
A dagger in my back
Down a long, long corridor
I don't wanna go
No, no, no
I don't wanna go
No, no, no
I don't wanna go
No, no, no
I don't wanna go
What am I doing here
This can't be
Whatever they want
They want it outta me
Strapped to a table
Shaking like a leaf
Drift into an endless sleep
I don't wanna go
No, no, no
I don't wanna go
No, no, no
I don't wanna go
No, no, no
I don't wanna go
What am I doing here
I don't know
Where are they taking me
I don't wanna go
They got a chain around my neck
A dagger in my back
Down a long, long corridor
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go
I WANT YOU DEAD
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
Yeah, girl, it turned that I was a fool
All those things they said about you were true
I tried to do the best I could do
Now I want to do away with you
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
Yeah, girl, it turned that I was a fool
All those things they said about you were true
I tried to do the best I could do
Now I want to do away with you
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
When you lay down to sleep
You pray the lord your soul to keep
But when you lay down to die
Remember all those times you made me cry
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I want you dead
I'D RATHER DO MY DRINKING ALONE
It's quarter past eight
And if you think that's not late
It's early in the morning, you see
And though the bar should be closed
Bartender knows that since my baby left me
I got no other place to be goin'
I'd rather do my drinking alone
Now, all my old pals
Are spendin' time out with their gals
But I got no one sitting on my knee
But since my baby went away
This is where I want to stay
And the only thing I want to see
Is that girl saying she'll be going home
And I'd rather do my drinking alone
Me and my sweet girl, we made such a team
Everyone said we had it all
But since she's been missing
I got no lips to be kissin'
And half a team ain't no team at all
Now it's quarter past ten
And I'm back here in the morning again
Hoping that she'd come back to me
But with each sip of beer
I cry another silent tear
Remembering the way things used to be
And I'll be here after everyone is gone
And I'd rather do my drinking
I'd rather do my thinking
I'd rather do my drinking alone
I'M SO HAPPY
She's got me feeling up
When the world's been bringing me down
And there's nothing on my mind except leaving town
From the first time that I saw her
I knew I was gonna love her
And there was no doubt about it
Yeah, there was no doubt about it
And there is no doubt about it anymore
I knew that look on her face
Said she wanted to go back to my place
And there was no doubt about it
Yeah, there was no doubt about it
And there is no doubt about it anymore
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm in love again
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm in love again
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm in love again
From the first time that I saw her
I knew I was gonna get her
And there was no doubt about it
And there was no doubt about it
And there is no doubt about it anymore
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm in love again
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm in love again
I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm in love again
I knew that look on her face
Said she wanted to go back to my place
And there was no doubt about it
Yeah, there was no doubt about it
And there is no doubt about it anymore
Anymore
Anymore
IN EIGHTY FOUR
They got me on the tele-screen
The Thought Police are at my back door
I can't protest, I can't scream
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
There is no room for individuals
Big Brother watches every move you make
No room for human thoughts at all
If you object, your very life's at stake
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
Nineteen eighty four
Things are run so conveniently
When we stop thinking for ourselves
In the interest of pre-ordained schemes
We play the role while we should rebel
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
Nineteen eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
So well controlled in eighty four
LIES
Lies, lies
You're telling me that you'll be true
Lies, lies
That's all I get from you
Tears, tears
I shed a million tears for you
Tears, tears
And now you're loving someone new
Someday I'm gonna be happy
But I don't know when just now
Lies, breakin' my heart
You think that you're such a smart girl
And I'll believe what you say
But who do you think you are girl
To lead me on this way, hey
Lies, lies
I can't believe a word you say
Lies, lies
I'm gonna make you sad someday
Someday you're gonna be lonely
But you won't find me around
Lies, breakin' my heart
Someday I'm gonna be happy
But I don't know when just now
Lies, breakin' my heart
You think that you're such a smart girl
And I'll believe what you say
But who do you think you are girl
To lead me on this way, hey
Lies, lies
I can't believe a word you say
Lies, lies
I'm gonna make you sad someday
Someday you're gonna be lonely
But you won't find me around
Lies, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart
MISFIT
Walkin' down the street
The people that I meet
You always fucking glare
But you just be aware
I ain't no fuckin' fool
I graduated from high school
And I held a nine-to-five job
But I couldn't live working for some filthy rich slob
Fucking people that I see
Always fucking staring at me
I wonder what it is you see
Some freak from a menagerie
Nothing ever came to me
But all the pain I got for free
You wouldn't give me a hand
But you sure gave me all of your demands
All the other girls and boys
Came around showing off their shiny new toys
Fucking people that I see
Always fucking staring at me
I wonder what it is you see
Some freak from a menagerie
Fucking people that I see
Always fucking staring at me
I wonder what it is you see
Some freak from a menagerie
Nothing ever came to me
But all the pain I got for free
You wouldn't give me a hand
But you sure gave me all of your demands
All the other girls and boys
Came around showing off their shiny new toys
Fucking people that I see
Always fucking staring at me
I wonder what it is you see
Some freak from a menagerie
Fucking people that I see
Always fucking laughing at me
Well, laugh all you want, well, that's just fine
'Cause the last laugh is gonna be mine
MY KINDA TOWN
I'm lost in a twilight zone
Ain't got no mind of my own
I took some kind of pill
Now I can't get my fill
I see the junkies and I see the whores
I don't know why but it all seems a bore
They don't give me no thrill
It turns my stomach, I'm getting ill
New York City, you're my kinda town
My kinda people just hangin' around
New York City, you're my kinda town
My kinda people just hangin' around
My mom and dad wanna lock me away
Don't give a fuck, they got nothin' to say
I'm gonna do it anyway
You wanna play, yeah, I wanna play
New York City, you're my kinda town
My kinda people just hangin' around
New York City, you're my kinda town
My kinda people just hangin' around
I'm lost in a twilight zone
Ain't got no mind of my own
I took some kind of pill
Now I can't get my fill
New York City, you're my kinda town
My kinda people just hangin' around
New York City, you're my kinda town
My kinda people just hangin' around

NEVER SAY DIE
Sometimes when things don't seem so hot
I give it everything I've got
There's not much else to do
So I just stick it through
And then you'll see me standing tall
I get knocked down but I don't cry
I'll stand right up, you ask me why
I'll tell you
I'll never say die
I'll never say die
Don't give up and you will find
Just what you're looking for
Never say die
Never say die
Never say die
Sometimes when living is the pits
That's when I know I just can't quit
You might say that I'm nuts
But I know I've got the guts
And I don't give a damn what you say
And I'll never say die
Never say die
Never say die
Die
Sometimes when things don't seem so hot
I give it everything I've got
There's not much else to do
So I just stick it through
And then you'll see me standing tall
I get knocked down but I don't cry
I'll stand right up, you ask me why
I'll tell you
I'll never say die
I'll never say die
Don't give up and you will find
Just what you're looking for
Never say die
Never say die
Never say die
NIGHTMARE
I saw it in their faces
I read it in the magazines
People lost and shattered
Stranded in the dark
It only happens to the ones
Who got little to begin with
I can't understand it, I never will
Annihilation without a cause
Houses turned to rubble
Streets struck down without a care
Schools and cathedrals
Erased with frightening ease
It only happens to the ones
Who got little to begin with
I can't understand it, I never will
Annihilation without a cause
The speed of this disaster
Allows nobody to escape
Victims without weapons
Are always easy prey
It only happens to the ones
Who got little to begin with
I can't understand it, I never will
Annihilation without a cause
So tell me is this justice
Do some get fat without a care
Save your god and fuck your laws
We're running out of graves
It only happens to the ones
Who got little to begin with
I can't understand it, I never will
Annihilation without a cause
NO VICES
No vices
How boring it would be if we had
No vices
What a drag to be straight all day and night
No drinks, no drugs, no sex, nothing
No vices
How boring it would be if we had
No vices
I'm down on my knees
Give me a drink, a pill, a smoke
Anything, I'm bored to death
No vices
How boring it would be if we had
No vices
I'm down on my knees
Give me a drink, a pill, a smoke
Anything, I'm bored to death
PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON
You said that if I gave you the chance
You'd change my mind about romance
But even though we kissed all night
Nothing seemed to come out right
So put your clothes back on
Don't you think you should be gone
So put your clothes back on
This is turning out all wrong
So put your clothes back on
You said you'd make me see
That true love was even meant for me
But as you started getting romantic
I just started getting more frantic
So put your clothes back on
Don't you think you should be gone
So put your clothes back on
This is turning out all wrong
So put your clothes back on
No
My social life's a total mess
I don't know why I bother to get dressed
After all these years of living alone
Am I just another middle class clone
Put your clothes back on
You said you'd make me believe that silly stuff
That I don't really have to act so tough
But now the morning light is here
And I just want you to disappear
So put your clothes back on
Don't you think you should be gone
So put your clothes back on
This is turning out all wrong
So put your clothes back on
Don't you think you should be gone
So put your clothes back on
This is turning out all wrong
So put your clothes back on
Don't you think you should be gone
So put your clothes back on
This is turning out all wrong
So put your clothes back on
Don't you think you should be gone

SHADOW
Lost in fantasies within my mind
I was running; I was blind
None dare warn me of the curse that would befall
Laughing at the threat I did not heed at all
Sold my soul to this addiction
Causing me to lose my mind
Now you'll see my resurrection
Through dark passageways, beyond locked doors
Though I had been through hell, there would be more
Robbed of all emotion, no, I didn't care
Frightened by the shadows of what hid there
I saw those shadows creeping
Up on me to rob my will
But now that shadow's beaten
And I've come back stronger still
Drowning in a sea of darkness
Damned by all I knew
Seduced by promises
That never could come true
Starved and penniless
Left in the street to die
Never knowing what it meant
And never asking why
I saw those shadows creeping
Up on me to rob my will
But now that shadow's beaten
And I've come back stronger still
SLAVE TO FASHION
All the magazines tell me what I want
But I'm too helpless to decide just what I like
All the billboards, blinded by the flashing lights
And I am mortified by egotistic obsession
I'm a slave to fashion
I'm a slave to fashion, whoa oh whoa oh
Living an illusion of reality
Trying hard to be someone who is not me
Social bulimia, isn't that the key
Swallowing the greed they feed and puking out my bucks to be
I'm a slave to fashion
I'm a slave to fashion, whoa oh whoa oh
I'm a slave to fashion
I'm a slave to fashion, whoa oh whoa oh
All the clothing, all the stores
All the junkies, all the whores
I don't wanna be the same
Put a bullet in my brain
All the magazines tell me what I want
But I'm too helpless to decide just what I like
All the billboards, blinded by the flashing lights
And I am mortified by egotistic obsession
I'm a slave to fashion
I'm a slave to fashion, whoa oh whoa oh
I'm a slave to fashion
I'm a slave to fashion, whoa oh whoa oh
SOCIAL REASON
Did you see that face
On the cover of the Village Voice
How'd it get there
Who made the choice
There's a social reason
For who goes far
A social reason
For who's a star
See that person
At the front of the line
Hey, that space
Used to be mine
And there's a social reason
Why I'm not there
A social reason
And it's not fair
If you've got the right contacts
You can have the wrong act
'Cause who you know and who you screw
Is more important than what you do
Hey
See that name
In big, bold print
How'd it get there
Here's a hint
There's a social reason
Why it's there
And there's a social reason
And it's not fair
There's a social reason
Why I'm not there
A social reason
And it's not fair
STRANGE CREATURES
Strange creatures under my bed
Strange creatures hiding in the dark
Red, glowing eyes staring at me
Strange creatures that I can't see
I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
I had a dream; a terrible fright
What's behind the door, I saw it move
They're waiting to kill me
Red, glowing eyes staring at me
Strange creatures that I can't see
Strange creatures under my bed
Strange creatures hiding in the dark
Red, glowing eyes staring at me
Strange creatures that I can't see
Strange creatures under my bed
Strange creatures hiding in the dark
Strange creatures under my bed
Whoa
THE FUTURE KID
Like media images gone berserk
With video monitors refusing to work
We never understood anything we did
We were the future kid
Like computer banks about to explode
A lonely hitchhiker on a crowded road
Our lives were sold to the highest bid
We were the future kid
Technology... with a capital T
Methodology... with a capital Me
Long ago we lost the ability
To achieve personal stability
Long ago
We lost the ability to achieve
Withdrawal babies in need of a fix
TV junkies at the age of six
We can't remember where we kept things hid
We were the future kid
THE INVISIBLE MAN
You pass me every day
But you never hear a word I say
You walk right by the invisible man
But you never see me crying
No matter how I try, the invisible man
It's like I don't exist
You can't face it 'cause you know it's true
I used to be just like you
Until that fateful day
When I became the invisible man
I used to have a normal brain
But this would drive anyone insane
I spit in your face, the invisible man
Can't you see I'm dying
It's such a disgrace, the invisible man
The way that you react
You can't face it 'cause you know it's true
I used to be just like you
Until that fateful day
When I became the invisible man
Whoa
Women, they see me coming near
Women scream, children panic in fear
It's not my choice, the invisible man
Ejected from the human race
You walk right by the invisible man
But not a word I say gets through
You can't face it 'cause you know it's true
I used to be just like you
Until that fateful day
When I became the invisible man
The invisible man
It could be you
THE THORN IN YOUR SIDE
Girl
It's getting to be
Where I think you're getting tired of me
I just don't want things to get that way
If what I fear is true
Girl, then here's what you gotta do
Ya gotta come right out
And say it like it is
You gotta throw me out
And send me on my way
Call it off
So I can get on with my new life, today
Make that choice
Even though it'll hurt my pride
I don't wanna be the thorn in your side
You gave me life anew, girl
And I'll always be indebted to you
Some things I can't get outta my head
I know we had our fights
But somehow it always turned out alright
And if I can't have you
I don't want you dead
You gotta throw me out
And send me on my way
Call it off
So I can get on with my new life, today
Make that choice
Even though it'll hurt my pride
I don't wanna be the thorn in your side
I don't wanna be the thorn in your side
I don't wanna be the thorn in your side
THE WAY WE BEHAVE
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
Don't be scared by the things that we do
And don't get mad if we do them to you
We're not looking for a fight
We're not trying to be brave
It's just the way we behave
Don't get violent if we step on your feet
And don't be silent if you want to meet us
We're much more friendly
Than the newspapers say
Anyway, it's just the way we behave
Our bodies are filled with such high energy
We got to jump up and down to set it all free
Our minds work so fast it's hard to get the words out
That's why when we speak we usually shout
So don't get angry if we bump into you
Among our friends that's what we usually do
In other words we might be crazy
But we're not depraved, oh no
It's just the way we behave
When they let us out of our cage
It's just the way we behave
THERE'S A RIOT IN TOMPKINS SQUARE
I can see it on my TV, I see it in the street
I feel it getting hotter, they're turning up the heat
Anarchists and communists and people dressed in blue
I disagree with all of them so what am I to do
Fantasy, reality what does it really mean
Everything is beautiful, everything's obscene
People always saying what they never really mean
Trying to make a living, trying to keep their noses clean
Life could be so easy if it wasn't so damn hard
Wouldn't it be great to hold that wild card
Preying on another's fate, exploit his misery
What it all comes to is you, forget about them or me
I don't want to go down there
There's a riot in Tompkins Square
Take a look through my eyes
I can see through the lies
Be it day or be it night
Things just ain't so black and white
Benevolence your masquerade, power is your goal
That's why they light the fires, that's why they stir the coals
Don't you ever see that you're really all the same
No one's ever guilty, everyone's to blame
I don't want to go down there
There's a riot in Tompkin Square
I can see it on my TV, I see it in the street
I feel it getting hotter, they're turning up the heat
Your righteousness, it makes me sick, you act like family jewels
If you ask me my opinion, you're all a bunch of fools
THEY LIED
When I was small
To me they told the joy this country did behold
I was taught to be good, kind, and polite
With my neighbor I should not fight
But as I grew, it occurred to me
That what they said was not to be
Then in my hands they placed a gun
"Go out and kill your neighborhood's son"
"But it was wrong," I said. It must be wrong
"Don't argue, son, you must be strong."
So across the sea I went
With many shells that must be spent
And in a hole I sat and cried
Wondering why those I loved to me had lied
My brothers fall with faces red
But it hurts no more
For I am dead
When I was small
To me they told the joy this country did behold
TIL DEATH
Been so long girl, without you
It's really killing me girl
I've been thinking about you
The way that things could've been
And I hold back the tears
Hiding my fear
Of what the future holds in store
Girl I wanna love you 'til death
Hold you til your last breath
We can make it if we try
Girl, I wanna love you 'til death
Just can't take it
Can't sleep at night
There's nothing to prove
You don't have to put up a fight
I guess some things were meant to be
And ya can't change that
My passion's growing higher
There's no need to put out the fire
Too much passion comes to a peak
My mouther's getting dry
I'm finding it hard just to speak
The dream has come and gone so fast
That I can't wake up
I gotta say it one more time
Before I lose my mind over you
UNDEAD
Flies clinging to my body
Spiders crawling on the walls
Demons hovering around me trying to damn my immortal soul
Evil runs rampant
Everywhere I see
Witches and vampires lunging at me
Friends, I see them changing
My eyes are open wide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
This ain't no Halloween
This ain't no horror flick
It's a real life b-movie
I think I'm getting sick
This ain't no Halloween
This ain't no horror flick
It's a real life b-movie
I think I'm getting sick
Darkness circling around me
Death's waiting just outside
Souls screaming Satan, no mercy
Chills running through my body
Blood coming to a boil
Pounding faster, pounding in my head
This ain't no fantasy
Don't need no script at all
Annihilation's near, mankind is due to fall
This ain't no Halloween
This ain't no horror flick
It's a real life b-movie
I think I'm getting sick
This ain't no fantasy
Don't need no script at all
Annihilation's near
Mankind is due to fall
Undead (undead), undead (undead)
Undead (undead), undead (undead)
Undead (undead), undead (undead)
Undead
VERBAL ABUSE
I come in, you throw me out
You leave me standing without a doubt
For what you're telling me ain't no use
'Cause all you're giving me is verbal abuse
What I'm hearing ain't no surprise
I'm getting sick of hearing all your lies
You don't listen, you don't see
Don't throw your verbal abuse at me
Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse
What it does to me
I guess you don't see
You don't even care
This knife in my hand
Makes you understand
I can't take your verbal abuse no more
Now you're lying in your bed
You ain't moving, it's like I said
Verbal abuse got to my head
Got you, now you're dead
Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse
What it does to me
I guess you don't see
You don't even care
This knife in my hand
Makes you understand
I can't take your verbal abuse no more
WE DON'T WANT THE POOR IN NEW YORK CITY
We don't want the poor in New York City
No, that's not the way it's supposed to be
We don't want the poor in New York City
In America, the land of the free
You got nothing to say
Shut your mouth
Get in line
You got nothing to say
Here's your check
Here's your food stamps
'Til next time
We don't want the poor in New York City
No, that's not the way it's supposed to be
We don't want the poor in New York City
In America, the land of the free
Move you down to the Lower East Side
Raise the rent
Speculation, gentrification
Move up to Harlem, the South Bronx
Then who knows where
We don't care
We don't want the poor in New York City
No, that's not the way it's supposed to be
We don't want the poor in New York City
In America, the land of the free
They got me in a rut
I don't know where I'm going
Crammed into a few small blocks of the Ghetto
Break out
We don't want the rich in New York City
I don't care about them, they don't care about me
We don't need the rich in New York City
Just wait and see
We don't want the rich in New York City
They cram us into Ghettos
Soon, they'll be building walls
We don't want the rich in New York City
It's like Germany, back in '43
WHEN THE EVENING COMES
Sitting here all morning
Trying to get in touch with you
All day long
Wondering what I'm gonna do
You know I want you baby
You know I love you and it's true
And when the evening comes
This is what I'll say to you
Sitting here all morning
Trying to ask you for a date
All day long, honey
And I just can't wait
You know I want you, honey
I can't let you outta my sight
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
You got me going crazy
'Cause you're nowhere to be found
I got a pain in my heart
And it's really bringing me down
Sitting here all morning
Trying to get in touch with you
All day long
Wondering what I'm gonna do
You know I want you baby
You know I love you and it's true
And when the evening comes
This is what I'll say to you
Sitting here all morning
Trying to ask you for a date
All day long
Home again, I just can't wait
You know I want you honey
I can't let you outta my sight
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
And when the evening comes
Everything'll be alright
