01. The Kids Are Back

We walk the streets in tattered armies
We got the lion in our heart
We're not lookin' for trouble, just for some fun
But we're all ready if you wanna start

CHORUS:

So, just remember the
The kids are back
The kids are back
Oh, watch out
The kids are back

Well, can you blame us for living our dreams?
Just look around and you'll see why
We don't wanna follow that same routine
Maybe it's for nothin', but we gotta try

REPEAT CHORUS

Look out

Now there's no problem, no need to fuss
We ain't out to stop your fun
Don't mind us askin', 'cause we gotta know
How can we stop it when you're havin' none?

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

The kids are back
The kids are back
The kids are back

02. Like A Knife In The Back

Come inside, take a seat or a ride
We're so glad that you're here, now come on
Have a drink of some coke, gasoline or some rope
A guillotine, are you gone?
Don't turn around, ignore that sound
Just lie on this rack, are you starting to crack?

CHORUS:

I need this like a knife in the back
I need this like a knife in the back

Hey, my man, can you feel, can you stand?
That's a shame, really sad, do you want some more?
Like to help if I could but I don't think I should
I don't care, shall I pour?
Just lay right here, nothing to fear
All that you lack will start fading to black

REPEAT CHORUS

Ain't it sad that he's dead, was it something we said?
Such a drag, what could we do?
He was an ass, always smelling of gas
Not at all one of us, the chosen few
He turned around and heard the sound
Those with the knack get to run with the pack

REPEAT CHORUS

I need this
I need this
I need this
Like a knife in the back

03. Ride To Live, Live To Ride

Hard roads and endless lines flow through his veins
Cold steel and hot fuel injected 's the dream that fills his brain
But no, not slow, the speed fever grows
He rides, he sees, he knows

CHORUS:

You've got to ride to live, live to ride
Feel the flames burn inside
And though you know, you ride to hide
You ride to live to ride

Life's short and goes too fast, most pages burn
Don't wait, the end's too near, some people never learn
You all won't fall, the road fever calls
So run or fly, don't crawl

REPEAT CHORUS

Ride on and don't look back, you can't change what's done
Drive hard for grater glories, you all must be someone
So win, don't show, let the life fever go
The world is yours you know

You've got to ride to live, live to ride
Feel the flames burn inside
And though you know, you ride to hide
You ride to live to

REPEAT CHORUS

04. I Am (I'm Me)

Who are you to look down at what I believe?
I'm on to your thinking and how you deceive
Well, you can't abuse me, I won't stand no more
Yes, I know the reasons, yes, I know the score

CHORUS:

I am and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am and I'll be
I am: I'm me

How I tried to please you, live the way you said
Do the things that you do, like the living dead
Then the truth it hit me, got me off my knees
It's my life I'm living, i'll live as I please

REPEAT CHORUS

Now's the time to stand tall, start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart, now's the time for you

REPEAT CHORUS

I am: I'm me
I am: I'm me (can't you see)
I am: I'm me (can't you see, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, me, me, me, me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me, can't you see)
I am: I'm me (can't you see, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me, everything)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, look at me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)

05. The Power And The Glory

I don't wanna think about it, why can't I live without it?
Oh, I need the love
I'm free and independent, I just take life and I spend it
Oh, I need the love
I'll feel the flames of a million fires
Fed by my feelings and my desires
Oh, I need the love
Oh, I want the love
I just need the power from above
I just got the power from above

Can't believe I saw the light, never thought I'd see the day
So filled with wrong I couldn't see right, almost lost the way
I was headed down, taken by the tide
I was lost at sea, missing in action, taken for a ride

CHORUS:

Now I've got the power and the glory
I've got the power from above
I've got the power and the glory
I've got the power, power of love

All the time I knew what was wrong, but denied it all the same
I was so blind I sang the same song, thought it was a game
But when I looked inside, the writing on the wall
Said, "it's a long way down, face it clown, fool you're gonna fall"

REPEAT CHORUS

That's right

REPEAT CHORUS

Power of love
Power of love

06. We're Gonna Make It

We'll make it

Been fighting for so long don't know which way up is
Been stuck and ripped and burnt till it feels like nothin'
Our time will come and when it's over and it's done
Those fools are gonna know that we ain't bluffin'

CHORUS:

We're gonna make it
We'll reach the top
We're gonna make it
And then we're never gonna stop

The power of the people ain't been showin'
It's never what you know, it's who you're knowin'
Sure it ain't right but as the saying goes it's might
That decides who stays behind and who'll be goin'

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Alright, alright, we're gonna make it
Come on, boys, come on, boys
Ain't gonna stop until we drop
Oh, oh
Let it rock, let it roll
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Here we go, baby

07. I've Had Enough

You want to run around all night
You have your way or you scream and fight
You wanna live but don't wanna give
I've had enough of wrong or right
I don't know what to do
I just can't seem to get through to you
I want your love but if it comes to push or shove
You can have your attitude 'cause now we're through

CHROUS:

Because ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Enough from you

You say you need your only man
Well girl I love you all I can
You still want me but you want to be free
How much did you think I would stand?
Bye-bye, so long, now go
Our day is done so, take it slow
Just save your tears because, after all these years
I am dropping you, look out below

REPEAT CHORUS

Now girl, don't look so blue
Why do you do the things you do?
Promise you'll be good and act like a lover should
And I'll give my heart and soul right back to you

REPEAT CHORUS

And I say it again
I say ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Enough from you

08. I'll Take You Alive

Pull the trigger, set the fire
Light the fuses, trip the wire
Head for safety, run for cover
Hit the dirt, I'm takin' over

Curse my name, say I'm a liar
Cut me loose and douse my fire
Mean mistreat me, spurn my lovin'
Pull my heartstrings, keep on shovin'
I want your love
I need your love
Don't try to hide, run away or take a ride
Some way, one day

CHORUS:

I'll take you alive
I'll take you alive
Ï'll take you alive

Ow
I'm your lover, your obsession
Modern romance, true confession
Guardian angel, phantom stranger
Infantry and your lone ranger
I want your love
I need your love
There's no way out, so, don't scream, kick or shout
One day, some way

REPEAT CHORUS

Ow ow ow ow ow ow

Pull the trigger, set the fire
Light the fuses, trip the wire
Head for safety, run for cover
Hit the dirt, I'm takin' over
I want your love
I need your love
Don't try to hide, run away or take a ride
Some way, one day

REPEAT CHORUS

I'll take you alive

09. You're Not Alone (Suzette's Song)

Can't seem to show you how much I care
Can't seem to prove it, you're so unaware
How much I need you, I try to show
I'm always with you and I love you so
Believe me when I try to say
I'll never, never go away
Oh, can't you see

CHORUS:

You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
Baby you have me

The lonely hours of unspoken pain
Seems like a lifetime of endless rain
In my confusion I never find
The words to tell you that you're in my mind
So, let me try to find a way
To do the things I wanna say
Oh, can't you see

REPEAT CHORUS

My dream, my heart, my hope, my way
We'll stand together all our days
Oh, stay with me

You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

You're not alone (we'll care, never, never alone)
You're not alone (oh please, please, you)
You're not alone (we'll stay together all along)
You're not alone (never, never, never go)
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone (I need it now)
You're not alone (I need it now)
You're not alone (ooh)
You're not alone (ooh)

10. You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll

Here it comes, you're never gonna top it
On a run, no way you can stop it
Total style, perfection in decay
Running wild, flat out all the way

CHORUS:

Now you can ride it high
And you can light the way
Lift up your hands in praise
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll

Like a charging bull, it's a juggernaut
With steam at full, never to be caught
Incarnate power, roaring from the sky
While other cower, rock ain't gonna die

REPEAT CHORUS

Ow
It's an angry steed, on a never ending course
With grace and speed, it's an unrelenting force
His head thrown back, defiantly proud
Under constant attack, it's blasting, fast and loud

REPEAT CHORUS

Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it

Ow
