Tracks



01. Rock Or Bust

Hey yeah
Are you ready?

We be a guitar band
We play across the land
Shootin' out tonight
Gonna keep you up alright
You hear the guitar sound
Playin' nice and loud
Rock you to your knees
Gonna make your destiny

In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust

We hear the siren scream
It sounds so lean to me
We love to shake it down
Know what we're talkin' bout
We turn the amps up high
The crowd's gonna hit the sky
We play it fast and loose
Because this night we're gonna blow a fuse

In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust

In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock we trust, it's rock or bust
In rock n' roll we trust, it's rock or bust

02. Play Ball

Listen: pick me up, fill in my cup
Pour me another round
Come on in, mix in the sin
Come in and join the crowd

I said it's party time and I'm on the loose
Make it feel alright
Listen: drinks all around, I'm in the mood
Because the night is mine

Let's play ball
Shooting down the walls, yeah
Let's play ball, babe
Batting down the stalls
Play, play, play ball

Listen: said, lock me up, I'm in lust
I'm on the leash and I'm bound
Dive on in and spin in the gin
Come on and shout it out loud

Let's play ball
Shooting down the walls, yeah
Let's play ball
Batting down the stalls, yeah
Play, play, play ball

Woo
Hit that thing right here
Hey yeah
Hit your home run

Let's play ball
Shooting down the walls, yeah
Let's play ball
Batting down the stalls, yeah
Let's play ball

Let's play ball
Let's play ball
Play, play, play ball

03. Rock The Blues Away

Driving in my car
Heading for the local bar
Picking up my girl tonight
Everything gonna be alright

Shooting pool with my friends
Smoking cigarettes
Telling jokes out loud
Laughing with the crowd

And we rock it (and we rock it)
And we roll it (and we roll it)
And we ride it (as we ride it)
When we joke it (and we joke it)
And we roll it
Baby, we're rocking and rolling
We won't get the blues

Because we rock the blues and play
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
'Til the light of day

When I'm on my way back home
I listen to the radio
I hear some great rock sounds
That make you want to sing out loud

And we rock it (and we rock it)
And we roll it (and we roll it)
And we ride it (as we ride it)
When we joke it (and we joke it)
And we roll it
Baby, we're rocking and rolling
We won't get the blues

Because we rock the blues and play
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
'Til the light of day

Rock the blues and play
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
'Til the light of day

Rock the blues and play
Up all night and day
Drink the night away
'Til the light of day

Dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Dogs of war

You'll be a fighting man
Make all the cash you can
Don't need civilian ties
They learn to risk their lives

Taking all you can
Risk any in the plan
Feel the boots upon the ground
Trouble brewing all around

Dodging the bullets
Shooting the missiles
Soldiers of fortune
Such a pretty name
Face the game
Mercenary man

We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Call in the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Send in the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)

A firefight in the night
Run away or die of fright
Keep in time, keep in line
Where there's smoke, there's fire

Dodging the bullets
Shooting the missiles
Soldiers of fortune
Such a pretty name
Face the game
You mercenary man

We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Call in the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Send in the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)

We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Call in the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
Send in the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)

We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)
We'll be the dogs of war (soldier of fortune)

06. Got Some Rock & Roll Thunder

Yeah-yeah

Roll
Ye-ow

Well, I'm heading on out
Down to a major town
I'm getting hungry, I'm getting neat
I'm getting down on easy street

With any luck I'll get by
I'm feeling good and I'm getting wild
I'm in town, ready to go
I'll be around and I'll let you know

I got some rock and roll thunder
Some rock and roll thunder

Tailor made for you, the party's in town

07. Hard Times

Two, three, four...

Feeling low
Going down slow
Make you quake
And make a body shake

Try to hold you down
They can't push you around
They try to hold you back
Getting on the right track

Hard times, blue and sad
Don't you cross the line
Long run, make it fun
Freeing up the time

Heart a-pumping
Feet a-jumping
This hard loving
Keeps me running

They try to hold him down
They can't push you around
Trying to hold you back
Getting on the right track

Hard times, blue and sad
Don't you cross the line
Long run, make it fun
Freeing up the time

Hard times, dead on time
Follow me down the line
Hard times, get online
Make a grown man blind

Hard times, these hard times
Sure ain't been good to me

Hard times, hard times
Sure been misery

Hard times, blue and sad
Don't you cross the line
Long run, make it fun
Freeing up the time

Hard times, dead on time
Follow me down the line
Hard times, get online
Make a grown man blind

08. Baptism By Fire

Hey

Let's get the party started
And baby do your tricks
Let's get the joint a-jumping
The boys need their kicks

We're gonna shock the nation
Make 'em flip their lids
You know you need a vacation
Ooh, bring along a bottle and enjoy the trip

I said ride, ride, ride
Up all night, ride
It'll blow your mind

Baptism by fire
Don't let them roll the tires
Baptism by fire
You start the burning wire

Play your hand
Come on and make a stand, hey

You hear the crack of thunder
Or feel the lightning strike, hey
You get your pistons firing
It's Lady Fortune's night

Ride, ride, ride
Up all night, ride
It'll blow your mind

Baptism by fire
Don't let them roll the tires
Baptism by fire

Baptism by fire

Sweet, sweet desire
Baptism by fire
You're gonna burn wire
Baptism by fire
Shooting high and shooting higher

11. Emission Control

It is my mission
To seek you out
You're up for grabs, honey
Breathe in, don't make a sound

Getting it up
Get high off the ground
Heating it up
Not fooling around
Ripping it up
You can't be here and be shy
Raising it up
Systems to the sky

Calling emission control
Emission control
Calling emission control
Emission control
It's good for the soul

Turn on ignition
The engine comes alive
She takes to powering mama
Like a lion ready to strike
A-ready to strike
Hey, yeah

Power it up
Take full flight and fly
Power it up
You got to raise it on high
Raising it up
You can't be here and be shy
Raising it up
Systems to the sky

Keeping it up
Keeping it up

Calling emission control
Emission control
Calling emission control
Emission control

Ah, it's good for the soul

Giving it up
Giving it up
Raising it up
Just giving it up
Keeping it up
Keeping it up
Raising it up
