Pissed off - Got nothing to say,
Nothing to do Why do I feel this way ? Mixed up - The will to survive But I can't tell if I'm dead or alive A no win situation What can you do ? Of my own creation I don't have a clue. I don't know, don't know, Don't know what I want I don't know, don't know, But I want it now Right now ! Hang on - Don't know if I can How much can I take How much can I stand Tied down - By things that I hide I bite my lip I swallow my pride Emptiness invades me Tries to push you around Happiness escapes me Here's what I found I don't know, don't know, Don't know what I want I don't know, don't know, But I want it now Yes I do ! Don't wanna go but I gotta get away Damned if you do And damned if you don't My cross to bear if I stay this way Your power of will has left you alone, All alone Lookin' for an answer I can't believe where I've been Headed for disaster The way that I see 02. Angry
Not a lover not a fighter
Always out of my league Sometimes maybe Life ain't what it seems There's a man in the back says I gotta keep still Someone at the front door Says just do what you will Do what you will ! My ears are ringing With voices unclear The sun is setting Is it love or is it fear I'm angry I'm an angry young man When love ain't enough Angry - I'm an angry young man When my heart's gettin tough I'm an angry young man Yes I am ! Running down the alley On a hot summer's day Fell in kinda dangerous-trouble One step away Well I'm walkin the walk And I'm talkin the talk But when it comes to lovin I'm alone in the dark Yes I am ! Runnin on empty under the gun The pressure's building The storm has just begun... Angry I'm an angry young man When love ain't enough Angry - I'm an angry young man When my heart's gettin tough Angry I'm an angry young man When I can't get enough I'm an angry young man When push comes to shove I'm an angry young man ! Give it to me ! I got emotional baggage That I drag around With all this dirty laundry I gotta get outa town Yes I do ! Say hello to my demons I count then as friends Ain't no denyin they'll be here til the end. Cause I'm angry... Angry, angry I feel hopeless Angry angry, I love my face 03. Alive And Well
Headin down the wrong way
On a one way street Lookin for love But it ain't lookin for me I feel like a fool But what do you expect Life is to short to waste on regrets Look at me now It must be hard to tell... That I'm alive and well I'm alive and well And I'm here to tell That I'm alive and well Ten years later and it's all the same No reason to bitch but I still complain God only knows what God only knows How can we find the key to it all Lookin at me now It must be hard to tell... Look out ! Closer to the truth The harder it seems Hell if I know What it's supposed to mean With all the struggle that we endure A little bit of faith could be the cure Every time you think it's all Going to hell... Remember... I'm alive, you're alive We are alive and well And we're here to tell That we're alive and well A little metal health Is still alive and well Get to the point, it won't take long A little bit of faith is gonna carry on The ride that we take is shorter than it seems The good things in life don't have to stay dreams 04. The Ritual
Call of the wild has been
Draggin me down Spirit controls what's inside you Tears flow like blood In a hot open flame A sign of the fire inside you We gotta give it up - We can't resist We gotta get away [Chorus] Time stands still When you're having fun But you pay the price When the day is done Kindred spirits come one by one When the day turns black We will become- The ritual Down in a hole When the sky closes in And darkness will fall upon you Walk into the light To be free from the spell Let the ritual surround you Is it at the rainbow's end Out in the cold Is just a breath away Time stands still When you're having fun But you pay the price When the day is done Kindred spirits come one by one When the day turns black We will become The ritual We couldn't give up We still persist We couldn't get away - no 05. Overworked And Underpaid
I wake up - and try
And face another day Here we are - just another link in the chain It's so tough - to reach the top From down on your knees Here we go on this road - We're only tryin to make ends meet They throw you a bone Take your piece of the pie And reap what you've sawn As we reach for the sky Overworked and underpaid Same old problem, a diffrent day You bust your ass for A minimum wage It really sucks...your life away Dead end job - From the cradle to the grave Break your back - Say hello to the American way Black and blue - had my ass Handed to me The time card of life keeps You runnin dead on your feet You're taxed to the max And knee deep in debt Your credit is trashed Still we reach for the sky Overworked and underpaid Same old problem, a different day You bust your ass For a minimum wage It really sucks...your life away Gimme gimme, your power And your greed Come on come on, I'll show you how it feels Stand back, it cuts both ways The table's turned It's pay day Get paid ! Paid-up ! 06. Slam Dunk (Way To Go!)
Slam dunk - way to go!
What do ya say, Let's rock 'n roll Well I come to play and I play to win Just say the word and I'll stuff it in I'm gonna slam it all the way Dunk it, what do you say When the whistle blows I'm gonna fly the coup Just pump me up and watch me shoot Slam it - Touch the rim Dunk it - Thrust it in I won't sing no sweet romantic song But I can do ya, I can do ya You'll never know right from wrong Here we go Slam dunk way to go What do you say, let's rock 'n roll Slam dunk climb the pole Drive through the middle and jam it home Slam dunk Take control, pick it up baby, Let's do it some more Pick it baby, Let's do it some more That's right I want two, four, six, eight, ten and more A wham-bam shooter I love to score Jam it - Bump and grind! Pump it! -- Come on do it right! Shake it o the left, fake it to the right Dunk it in the bucket, it feels alright Jam it -- bump and grind Pump it.

Too Much Information
Coming over the airwaves
Injected through the brain Freeway killer with an audience Gonna share the pain It's so insane - Oh yeah A lot of psycho babble On the evening news Put your headline story Where the sun don't shine 'Cause it's too much information I don't need Too much information For me There's a porno princess On the computer screen Makes the access easy Turn your children sleazy Don't you know what I mean In the morning papers Half the people can't read You're desensitized, anestized, Can't tell the truth from the lies Feeling kind of anxious - Like a lunatic on the loose Too much information is the food that I consume Instant problem and stress All for free Plus tons of bad news coming Special delivery 08. Against The Wall
I can't see the forest from the trees
Headin' straight for a catastrophe One step forward two steps back Is a heart attack I'm going' heard first No warning signs Out in the danger zone Every single night Throw my heart against the wall Don't know where I'm going Take a chance and win it all Breakin' all the rules Let's throw caution to the wind Don't know where it's blowing Throw my heart against Heart against Heart against the wall My head is spinnin I can't see straight And that's when I'm havin A real good day When the same two muscles Ignore the brain You gotta follow your heart And shive the fate I got more love than sense And that ain't no defense I'm gonna hurt myself I've been a fool before And then I closed the door And walked into the wall Yes I did ! 10. Highway To Hell Music & lyrics by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Bon Scott
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everything in my stride Don't need reason, don't need rhyme Ain't nothing I would rather do Going down, party time My friends are gonna be there too I'm on the highway to hell No stop signs, speed limit Nobody's gonna slow me down Like a wheel, gonna spin it Nobody's gonna mess me round Hey Satan, payed my dues Playing in a rocking band Hey momma, look at me I'm on my way to the promised land I'm on the highway to hell (don't stop me) And I'm going down, all the way down I'm on the highway to hell 11.

Everybody wants to have a girl like you
