Twisted Sister, come out and play
Twisted Sister, come out and play
Twisted Sister, come out and play
Twisted Sister, come out and play

Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night?
Behind closet doors are things when you turn out the light
Don't be afraid of the night, there's a light in the dark burning bright
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of the light

Come inside our world, an oyster 'round a pearl
You'll all be safe inside, a perfect place to hide, you'll see
Fun by decree
Ride above the storm, the average and the norm
A newfound ecstasy, a wild fantasy come true
This one's for you
Oh, welcome to our show
Oh, welcome to our life
Just follow me and you'll set yourself free
Now won't you come out and play

CHORUS:

Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play. come on out and play

Solo - Jay Jay

Join our cavalcade, enter the world you made
We're only here for you to do what you won't do, you know
On with the show
A place where fallacy becomes reality
We'll spin your head around, we're programmed to astound, stand by
Prepare to fly
Oh, welcome to our show
Oh, welcome to our life
Just follow me and you'll think that you're free
Now won't you come out and play

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey, is he really goin' out with her?
There he is, let's ask him
Hey man, is that your ring she's wearin'?
Uh huh
Man, it must be great ridin' with her
Are you pickin' her up after school today?
Uh huh
By the way, where'd you meet her?
I met her at the candy store
She turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture?
Yeah, we see
That's when she fell for

The leader of the pack

Her folks were always putting me down (down, down)
They said I came from the wrong side of town (they said he came from the wrong side of town)
They told her that I was bad but she knew I was sad
That's why she fell for

The leader of the pack

One day her dad said find someone new (new, new)
She had to tell me that we were through (? you better go find somebody new)
I stood there and asked her why but all she could do was cry
"I'm sorry I hurt you"

The leader of the pack

She was so small
As she kissed me goodbye her tears were beginning to show
And as she drove away on that rainy night I begged her to go slow
If she heard I'll never know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
The gang they all stop and stare, I can't hide my tears but I don't care
I'll never forget her

The leader of the pack

Leader of the pack
And now she's gone (repeat 11 times)

CHORUS:

I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got

Sometimes you drive me mad with the things you say and do
You act like we're so bad, well, I got a message for you
You don't fool anyone with your jealousy
You want it all and give us none, that ain't the way it's gonna be

REPEAT CHORUS

Checkmate we named your tune, don't give me your alibies
We burst your red balloon, maybe now you realize
When you laugh and put us down, you're tryin' to cover up your fears
Just like a circus clown, it's just a mask, just a mask to hide your tears

REPEAT CHORUS:

You want it, we got it
We got it, you don't
You want it, we got it
We got it, you won't
You want it, we got it
We got it, you don't
You want it, we got it
We got it, you won't

Solo - Jay Jay

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

I know what you want (you want it)
You want what we got (we got it)
I know what you want (you want it)
You want what we got
I know what you want (I know what I got)
You want what we got (I got what they got)
I know what you want (we want what I got)
You want what we got (they want what we got

Oh yeah, check it out
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of rock
And to the point of view for which it stands
One music under one God, yes, even God loves rock 'n' roll
With liberty and justice for all lands

RELEASE:

Every day I work so hard
Every day I'm dealt the cards
Every day I'm told exactly what to do
Every day I lose control
Every day I rock 'n' roll
Every day, it's gonna help to see me through

CHORUS:

I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll

Do you take this music to be your lawfully wedded rock
To have and hold in sickness and in health
For richer or for poorer, for better or for worse
Together until death comes to yourself?

REPEAT RELEASE

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Eddie

Sister says:
Oh, would that my words were written down
Would that they were inscribed on a record
That with an iron fist and led zeppelin
They were cut in the rock forever
But as for me, I know that heavy metal lives
And that it will at last stand forth upon the dust that I myself shall see
My own ears not another's shall behold it
And from my flesh I shall see it rock
My inmost being is consumed with longing
This is the word of the rocker

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

You thought it was gone but the fire goes on and I thought you knew me
I told you before 'til I settle the score that I'll never run free
I have enough pain and anger in my brain to last many lifetimes
Yet still it grows and the more that it shows I won't have peace of mind

CHORUS:

The fire, the fire still burns
The fire, the fire still burns

I have a dream and as strange as it seems, there's no embers glowing
The fire's gone out and there's no need to shout 'cause no anger's showing
But it's not true, nothing I ever do seems to ease my fury
Get out of my way, I'm the hangman today and the judge and jury

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

Solo - Eddie

Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns

Solo - Jay Jay

REPEAT CHORUS (three times)

CHORUS:

Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school in the name of rock 'n' roll
Be cruel to your school just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school in the name of rock 'n' roll

Well, I don't think I'll make it through another day, it's eight o'clock and all ain't well
My brain hurts so much it's stratin' to decay and I'm livin' in my private hell
Didn't somebody tell me this would be so great, be the best thing I ever had?
How come they never told me 'bout the word "exaggerate"
, how'd somethin' so good get so bad?
'Cause hey, I gotta know am I slow?
Where do I go from here?
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

REPEAT CHORUS

Sing it, Alice
I see them walkin' 'round like the livin' dead, ain't they got nothin' between their ears?
How come they don't seem to hear a single word I say, they ain't the only one who's bored to tears
Now there must be a better way to educate 'cause this way ain't workin' like it should
Can't they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate that makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good
'Cause hey, I gotta know what I'll have to show
When I hi hi ho it from here
Will I be in pain or will I have a brain
Or will I go insane, I've gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane

Solo - sax: Clarence Clemons, guitar: Brian Setzer

'Cause hey, I gotta know what I'll have to show
When I hi hi ho it from here
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

Alright

Why does no one seem to understand that it's more than love I need
It's so hard to keep your faith alive when nobody else believes
Oh, I need someone there for me, need someone who can see, need someone to show me
Oh, that they are there to help me fight, if I fall, to set me right, someone there to hold the light
Won't someone say

CHORUS:

I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you

It's so hard to do it all yourself, fighting for your dreams alone
When the toy's upon the highest shelf, a child's tears soon become stone
Oh, why does no one lend a hand, why does no one understand why I need to make a stand
Oh, it's so hard to carry on when all your hope is gone, all your dreams have come undone
I need to hear

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Eddie

Why won't someone say these words, are they really so absurd, must they always go unheard?
Oh, if someone needed the light, I'd be there to help them fight, if they fell, I'd set them right
And then I'd say

REPEAT CHORUS

I believe in you
Won't someone say I believe in you
I believe in you
Won't someone say I believe in you
I need to hear I believe in you
I believe in you

I walk alone through sleepless nights
I'm just another number, somethin' just ain't right
Searchin' for somethin' in this human zoo
Kaleidoscope of faces, maybe, maybe it might be you
I feel like I lost my way
Things get darker every day that I stay

CHORUS:

You're out on the streets, livin' on your own
You're out on the streets, so far from home
When you're out on the streets you can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets, your heart's your only home

The mind it wanders through shattered dreams
Hours pass in seconds and my heart, it screams
I can't fight the past, I force back all of my tears
'Cause there ain't no turnin' back, minutes, minutes turn to years
Someone listen to my prayers
Can't help feelin' no one cares, no one dares

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Eddie

Maybe there's a place for me
Is my dreaming to be free, fantasy

REPEAT CHORUS

You're out on the streets, you're livin' on your own
You're out on the streets, so far, so far from home
When you're out on the streets I can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets, your heart's your only home

They always told me I must try to be like everyone in the nation
Go with the flow, remember me is we, there must be no deviation
Well, now I think that I'll go my own way, I've got my own point of view
I just don't care what other people say, I do what I wanna do
You know that I'm ready, I'm ready to rock
You know that I'm ready, I'm ready to rock
Gonna rock

I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)

The time has come for you to make a stand, you've got to do things your own way
Forget about the style, forget the brand, 'cause every dog has his own day
It doesn't matter what the others think, what counts is do you like you
You think you're drownin' but you'll never sink, just do what you wanna do
You better get ready, get ready to rock
You better get ready, get ready to rock
Gotta rock

Solo - Jay Jay

You know that we're ready, we're ready to rock
You know that we're ready, we're ready to rock
Gotta rock

We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for, out for number one
Yeah

Evil's comin', fight the fire, push has come to shove
Let's all pray, we need the help of death from up above
We must fight, we won't surrender, the king will never change
Hold the line, there's no contender, the outcome's prearranged

CHORUS:

It's killed or be killed, live or let die
Kill or be killed, though you don't know why
It's kill or be killed, rock or let roll
Kill or be killed, burn or save your soul

Death is certain and there's no question, life's not quite you see
Pick your path and make decisions for eternity
Choose your weapons, this war started long before you came
Fight the good fight, let's be sure they'll never rise again

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Jay Jay

Don't sleep in the fire, have faith and desire
Then fight for your life and be free

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
