With the strength of steel
I'll show you how I feel All the weak will kneel For the strength of steel Your mind begins to reel With the strength of steel Makes your blood congeal I have nothing, nothing to conceal For the strength of steel For the strength of steel Only power to reveal With the strength of steel And a love that's real For the strength of steel A metallic meal With the strength of steel And with my approved seal With the strength of steel To you I make, make my appeal For the strength of steel You've got to have a metallic meal Just for the love and strength of steel For the strength of steel 02. Concrete Jungle
A shot in the dark
On a New York night The dream of the hunter And the doomed man's fright Rock Roar In the land of the predator Concrete jungle Survival of the fittest And the jungle's alive The plight of the nigger And the honkey jive Concrete jungle The Lady's liberty Is getting old Prey for justice Will our freedom be sold Concrete jungle 03. 9-2-5
Punch the clock
Don't be late Wear a tie Stand up straight Labour for money Money for rent Paying the bills Is how it's spent Don't do this Don't do that The boss is rich He's getting fat 9-2-5 I'll never survive 9-2-5 Speed it up Keep working fast Rules to break Will this job last? Don't do this Don't do that The union hates A wildcat Out to lunch Back at one Cash the cheque Weekend's fun Sweep the floor The hours go by Can't wait till five When it's time to fly Don't do this Don't do that Call in sick And never come back! 04. I Dreamed It Was The End Of The World
Am I living in a nightmare
Are these thoughts within my head I don't know what the truth is Am I alive or am I dead? In sorrow No Tomorrow Dead silence People on the sidewalk Become shadows on the wall The world has turned to cinders The answer to Satan's call Oh I thank God it's only a dream Fantasy It's only a dream Awake with a scream I dreamed it was the end of the world The children of God had burned I dreamed it was the end of the world In the bowels of hell they churned Onward Christian soldiers Ashes in the dust Dignity and honour Gave way to greed and lust Oh I thank God it's only a dream Fantasy It's only a dream Awake with a scream No one heeds the warning No one sees the light Forever till the morning Escape from the endless night In sorrow No tomorrow Dead silence Wasted violence 05. Flight Of The Bumble Beast
[Instrumental]
06. Cut Loose
The word is out
That rock is in And everyone is banging heads again You and your mates You want it all You take your place at the front of the concert hall The house lights dim The stage is set You're gonna take all that you can get All you can get Let's go crazy Let's go insane Me and the boys are rockin out again Cut loose Everbody cut loose Cut loose Everbody cut loose Turn it up Start to grind It's got the power to blow your mind Raise a fist Cuts through the air Scream and yell, show me that you care Show me you care Come feel the heat And energy Electric force sets your spirit free Let it out No holding back Cutting loose, There's no turning back No turning back 07. Mad Dog
Well I don't care if I lose my hair
I don't care if you strip me bare I don't care if you think I'm sick I'm just a mad dog doin' my trick 'Cause I'm a mad dog A mad bad dog I'm just a mad dog Chasing cars or burying my bone I'm a stray looking for a home On the corner just hanging around I'm a depraved, deranged flea-bitten hound Ain't hydrophobic No need to run I'm just a mad dog Having fun Looking for a bitch in heat Begging for a doggy treat You know my bark is worse than my bite You'll hear me howling in the heat of the night Feel my bite Oww!!! Oww!!! 08. Straight Between The Eyes
Make out, watch out
That's what this is all about Never get enough of it Go down, look around Tell me baby what you've found Better get a hold of it Unzip kinda hip Babe I think I got your trip You're trying to impress me Look now saying "wow" But you're gonna try somehow Baby don't depress me It's your big chance Don't - don't blow it You only get one try Hit you straight between the eyes Lipstick does the trick Won't you give my friend a lick? Ring around the collar Squeeze tight, all your might Can you make me feel alright? Make me hoot and holler You only get one try Hit you straight between the eyes Straight between the eyes Lookout! Got a morning tent, space for rent This is how your time is spent Sitting on a flagpole So sweet in the sheets Baby can you dig the beat Pounding out a drum roll Bang bang let it hang I can't wait to tell the gang All about you passion What fun now I'm done And I really got to run You know it's all the fashion It's your big chance Don't - don't blow it You only get one try Hit you straight between the eyes Straight between the eyes Straight between the eyes I'm gonna hit ya, hit ya, hit ya, hit ya Straight between the eyes 09. Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I can't look away from your Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I'm blind to the day from your Wild Eyes Wild Eyes I'm hypnotized by your Wild Eyes Wild Eyes My soul cries for your Wild Eyes Evil knows I fell In your evil spell Wild Eyes as blue as the skies they was Wild Eyes Wild Eyes a wicked disguise they was Wild Eyes Wild Eyes burnin' with fire Wild Eyes Wild Eyes filled with desire your Wild Eyes Let me rest awhile Near your fiery smile Wild Eyes I'm comin' to get you now Wild Eyes Wild Eyes I'm willin' to let you now Wild Eyes Wild Eyes I'm takin' you home with me Wild Eyes Wild Eyes I've got to be alone with your Wild Eyes Evil knows I fell In your evil spell I fell for your Wild Eyes 10. Kiss Of Death
Night has fallen
And the darkness hides an evil one Feel his presence Ever lurking in the shadows there You can't see him but he's near Prowling danger Gazing unseen through his blackened cloak Features masked, he's poised to take your life Cutting deep your flesh, his steely knife Coldly steals your life The Kiss of Death Daylight dawning A fallen victim waiting to be found Badly bleeding Screaming sirens, people gather round It's too late to run in fear The Kiss of Death Death is near The Kiss of Death Shed a tear 11. Paper General
Innocence
Strays Freedom Pays On board computers malfunction and alter their course Follow official procedure and answer with force With force With Force Red Zone Stop Confused Caught Ground forces scramble embark on a murderous task Shadowed from reason, curtained behind iron mask Iron mask Iron mask Paper General Printed laws Paper General Commie cause Contact Sight Intercept Flight Improbable target assassins then contact the ground Civilian airliner or not, Kremlin says "Shoot it down!" "Shoot it down!" "Shoot it down!" Tragic Waste Hostile Haste In justification they say that they followed the book State that they feel no remorse for the lives that they took They took They took |
