It was 8:45 New York time when disaster filled the sky
Death struck and the towers rocked, then we began to die All the steel came crashing down and rose in a cloud of smoke The world watched on CNN and stood in a state of shock You fool, I say to the eastern man, your evil ain't heaven sent You better run and you better hide cause you pissed off America We ain't gonna live in fear We're men of God and American United we stand hand in hand And when I touch the stars I feel alive in the land of pride I pledge allegiance to the flag of America This prick on a power trip unleashed the dogs of war You say you're a man of God but you're just the devil's whore You fool, I say to the eastern man, your evil ain't gonna win You better run and you better hide cause you pissed off America We ain't gonna live in fear We're men of God and American United we stand hand in hand And when I touch the stars I feel alive in the land of pride I pledge allegiance to the flag of America United we stand America United we stand America United we stand America United we stand America 02. Perfect Crime
I'm sucking on a 40 with friends who just adore me
Oh how they love that old English accent They of the black persuasion, missed out of being African Hard to hold back that bottled up tension Hide in the color of the white man's skin We'll do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin Shoot to kill, can't blame that white His mom and dad will make it right Hide in the color of the white man's skin Do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin No judge or jury would convict a white Your deceptions are black and white Broke out that golden carriage To ride to Greenwich Village Your turn to drive somebody said to me Because you're of that white persuasion You will never draw attention Who we take down and who is left bleeding Hide in the color of the white man's skin We'll do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin Shoot to kill, can't blame that white His mom and dad will make it right Hide in the color of the white man's skin Do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin No judge or jury would convict a white Cause the color is black and white Hide in the color of the white man's skin We'll do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin No judge or jury would convict his kind The money and the power would make them all blind Hide in the color of the white man's skin Do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin Shoot to kill, can't blame that white Mom and Dad will make it right Hide in the color of the white man's skin Do the evil deed, he'll fall for our sin Shoot to kill, can't blame that white Mom and Dad will make it right No judge or jury would convict his kind The money and the power would make them all blind Hide in the color of the white man's skin The deception - It's the perfect crime 03. End Of The World
There was anger and violence, fear and pain
The world was in battle with Mr. Insane The psychotic leader felt no shame Killing his people for monetary gain The act of a madman Hitler before Lights the sky with nuclear war Chaotic confusion, hysterical fear An evil was rising, the end was near Lighting struck and the world shook like a hurricane For all to see The rise and fall of the land we called our paradise For all to see Heaven and hell It's the end of the world Heaven and hell It's the end of the world The president crying "What have we done" Hold your fire! No use for that gun The eyes of a nation scream in pain A burning sensation, it's nuclear rain People dying, what do we do Call the savior - the red, white and blue Lighting struck and the world shook like a hurricane For all to see The rise and fall of the land we called our paradise For all to see Heaven and hell The fate of the nation Heaven and hell The fate of the nation Lighting struck and the world shook like a hurricane For all to see The rise and fall of the land we called our paradise For all to see Lighting struck and the world shook like a hurricane For all to see The rise and fall of the land we called our paradise For all to see Heaven and hell It's the end of the world Heaven and hell The fate of the nation Heaven and hell The fate of the nation Heaven and hell The fate of the nation Heaven and hell It's the end of the world The fate of the nation Heaven and hell It's the end of the world 04. She's A Nighttime Lover
That's right
Love for money Walk the streets in Hollywood, spread your legs tonight Give your body to any man to pay the bills on time Oh don't you feel the shame You're just a player in the game Nighttime lover And though your makeup runs from standing in the rain The cars keep pulling over and you drive away She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover She'll never meet your mother Never meet your mother She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover But you'll never ever know her Oooh nighttime lover That's right In the heat of angel town the cops all know your name But they will never take you down, they've known you way too long So you'll never have to hide What you're selling on the side Nighttime lover I wonder if you do your crying in the rain So no one knows what you are feeling She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover She'll never meet your mother Never meet your mother She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover But you'll never ever know her Oooh nighttime lover She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover She'll never meet your mother Never meet your mother She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover And you will never get to know her Oooh nighttime lover She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover She'll never meet your mother Never meet your mother She's a nighttime lover Oooh nighttime lover But you'll never know her That's right 05. Slow Kill
In the papers I read how they found her
On her face was the look of death In this house from hell In the papers I read how they had found her On her face was the look of death, a forgotten prisoner In a small space under the stairs Hidden away for so many years No one would miss her In this house from hell Was an evil pill For this mother's baby Such a sweet slow kill Slow kill As they took them away, still said they loved her But they both had abused their child, it was a murder Dear Mom and Dad slightly insane Their little girl locked up in chains To be theirs forever In this house from hell Was an evil pill For this mother's baby Such a sweet slow kill Slow kill In this house from hell Was an evil pill For this mother's baby Such a sweet slow kill In this house from In this house from hell Was an evil pill For this mother's baby Such a sweet slow kill Slow kill In this house from In this house from In this house from In this house from hell 06. Why Do They Do That
Someone broke down my door
Smashed the glass in the windows broken Then one more twist of the blade They just keyed the car No one here knows me for I just moved in here But now I keep looking behind me Seems pretty clear that I'm not wanted here Oh, why did they do that Tell me why Oh, why would they do that Tell me why In my new neighborhood Thought that I'd add more color They'd take me in And I'd be the adopted child But I think some shit would hit me with a ball bat If by chance I wasn't looking Fusion of conscience confusion to me Oh, why did they do that Tell me why Oh, why would they do that I gotta know why Oh, why did they do that Tell me why Oh, why would they do that Please tell me why Oh, why did they do that Why Why Why Why Why Why Oh, why would they do that Tell me why 07. Rock & Roll Heroes
There's blood on the boards where passionate words
Bleed down from the stage to arena The pilgrims are back with money they stashed A gift to the gods of the hour Never too loud drummer kicks the band right in the ass No one shot gun, they're all drivers - this is the master class Rock & Roll heroes Forever immortal The masters of music Idols and legends The man with the voice has opened his throat Spits out the words of the story His fingers are speeding, shredding the strings Stripping them down to the wire Photographs on cotton T-shirts - 30 bucks a pop Ball hats, sweatshirts, come and get your pictures autographed Rock & Roll heroes Forever immortal The masters of music Idols and legends Rock & Roll heroes Forever immortal The masters of music Idols and legends I want my Rock & Roll heroes I want my Rock & Roll heroes I want my Rock & Roll heroes I want my Rock & Roll heroes Rock & Roll heroes Forever immortal The masters of music Idols and legends Rock & Roll heroes Forever immortal The masters of music Idols and legends 08. Gotta Get Home
I got a camera round my neck
No money in my pocket Here comes the "Tea a Wana" police I'm running, guess I lost it Then I heard "Stop" and I turned around And saw that gun aiming at me I gotta get home Gotta get home I gotta get home Gotta get home I never wanted to go there But I was told "You got to see it" If you can take all the verbal abuse And the smell of the streets, it's worth it Pharmacies like supermarkets Photographs on painted donkeys Real cheap booze to hold you prisoner I gotta get home Gotta get home I gotta get home Gotta get home I gotta get home I gotta get home Gotta get home I gotta get home Gotta get home I gotta get home Gotta get home I gotta get home Gotta get home 09. What Kind Of Sanity
You sold your soul for a moment of passion
And now your life is pure addiction, oh oh oh Burn the needle, inject your vein Leave behind your reality What kind of sanity Would throw their lives away They're way too young to be Part of the tragedy Ready to die for the grand illusion Risk your life with no hesitation, oh oh oh Burn the needle, inject your vein Leave behind your reality What kind of sanity Would throw their lives away They're way too young to be Part of the tragedy What kind of sanity Will take their pain away They're way too young to be Part of the tragedy What kind of sanity Would throw their lives away They're way too young to be Part of the tragedy What kind of sanity Will take their pain away They're way too young to be Part of the tragedy 10. Falling In Love With A Stranger
First time I saw you
I walked into the wall and felt no pain Could this be love Or was it just infatuation You wore those high heels and see thru dress You drove me crazy, now I'm a mess I wanna hold you all night long I confess Come to me and be my baby Oh oh oh oh oh I think I'm falling Falling in love with a stranger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a danger No complications, no kind of stress That girl is physical when I'm in her bed No masturbation, no fantasy She's hot and dirty and aiming at me My momma told me (to) look to the sea There's plenty of fish waiting for me So I went fishing and planted the seed Now she's wearing my ring Come to me and be my baby Oh oh oh oh oh I think I'm falling Falling in love with a stranger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a danger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a stranger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a danger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a stranger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a danger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a stranger I think I'm falling Falling in love with a danger |
