Looking good, stepping out, looking for romance
Crazy arms, crazy legs, save me the last dance Hold me tight, make me warm, give me shelter Treat me right, in from the storm, helter skelter You know the way, the game is tough Need some motivation, to help you get it up Cause it's only, love for sale, Heart of gold and hard as nails I can't believe it's legal, To send it through the mail Only love for sale Call me up, call me back, call me what you want to Shoot your shot, shoot the moon, nothing that you can't do All for me, one for all, shoulder to shoulder Here and gone, sure like to ball, rock n' roller You know the way, stuff goes around, You need a half nelson, to help you get it down Cause it's only, love for sale, Heart of gold and hard as nails I can't believe it's legal, To send it through the mail Only love for sale Rip it up, rip it out, Shake your money maker Feels so good, in and out, real earth shaker Get up close, stroke your bones, get a grip babe Take a trip, take me home, feel the earth shift babe You know the way, so get it right You don't need an airplane, to get you through the night Cause it's only, love for sale, Heart of gold and hard as nails I can't believe it's legal, To send it through the mail Only love for sale 02. Dogs Of War
Stand or fall, live or die (Stand)
Strong and true to the end (Now) Fly the flag, let them see (Sky) We will never bend the knee (Don't fail) We are the last of all (Here) If we give way we lose (No) So can you stand with me? (We can) Will you now pay your dues (Hai) The tales they tell, of how we stand this day We that defend our cause Will last a thousand years Come now the dogs of war Break or hold, die or kill (Live) Try or fail, or succeed (Fight) We must be an iron wall (Hold) When the heart receives the call (We go) We are the least of them (Fight) We are few, but we are brave (Yes) So can you stand with me (We Will) If it leads you to your grave (Hai) The tales they tell, of how we stood this day We few that know the law Will last a thousand years Hear now the dogs of war Sun is set, darkness falls (See) Now comes the enemy (Beware) Draw sword and shield defy (Hai) All their wives must scream and cry (Stand fast) We are the last hope now (Last) Of all our people fair, so will you die with me (We do) Will you now do your share (Hai) The tales they tell, of what we do this day We that guard the door Will last a thousand years Let go the dogs of war 03. Snake Bite Love
In the zoo, in the zoo
I wanna see the snakes I don't want to see the lions Or the gorillas or the apes I want to see a python Squeeze somebody tight Or a Boa Constrictor In the middle of the night Snake hips boy, gonna lay you down Gonna spoil your fun Don't tread on him when he's around Don't tread on him when he's around He'll squeeze you 'till you fit real good Snake bite love, snake bite love In the jungle, in the jungle I don't wanna see the trees I don't wanna see the flowers Or the beetles or the bees I wanna see an Anaconda Coiled in the gloom Suffocate an alligator, Beneath a tropical moon Snake hips boy, gonna lay you down Gonna bite your ass Don't tread on him when he's around Don't tread on him when he's around Slide over, you're just like a glove Snake bite love, snake bite love In the summer, in the summer I don't wanna see the plants I don't wanna see the termites Or the rabbits or the ants I wanna see a cobra, Inflate his scary hood And bite the unsuspecting, I think that's really good Snake hips boy, gonna lay you down Gonna lose his skin Don't tread on him when he's around Don't tread on him when he's around He'll squeeze you 'till you fit real good Snake bite love, snake bite love Don't tread on him when he's around Don't tread on him when he's around Forked tongue make you feel so good Snake bite love, snake bite love 04.

Great armies shall bow to me. I come tonight, the hand is mine Assassin, Assassin, Assassin, Assassin Your years all dust, speak my name. Assassin, Assassin, Assassin, Assassin Assassin, Assassin, Assassin, Assassin Desert be thy grave Thy life be mine to take or save Mine eye upon thee I taste thy death I am assassin And many be thy sins Thy life be forfeit, the heart within, should flinch now dog and freeze thy spine, I want thy life, the hand is mine Now blood, is satisfied I ride by night, to make thee die My hand upon thee, my heart is pure I am assassin I smiled, I dreamed thy fear My arm is long to reach thee here All men shall tremble, their houses fall I am assassin 05. Take The Blame
You can see the way we do it here
You will be alright if you can change You can be a rich man, you can start to climb. Get into the rhythm, step into the line. Politicians eat your words Prohibition that's a joke Exhibition of the criminally insane You can take the money, but can you take the blame You can take the money, but can you take the blame You can be the new arising star You can be the super new-wave boy You can be a tyrant, you can rule by fear That's the way they like it, stick it in their ear Politicians eat your words Prohibition that's a joke Put your own children in Jail with a shame You can take the money, but can you take the blame You can take the money, but can you take the blame Politician swine, you make me wanna puke Waste my money, waste my time. going by the book Education fails no need to teach the poor They just get in the way, until we have a war. until we have a war... You will never sorrow for your friends You will never miss them for a day You will be a hero, you will be a king Get into the money, get into the swing Politicians eat your words Prohibition that's a joke You can't fool everybody, you should be ashamed You can take the money, but can you take the blame You can take the money, but can you take the blame See you on TV, you talk and talk and talk Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Liars, thieves and dorks You may be in control, so how come you're so scared Is it because you feel, the hatred everywhere, the hatred everywhere. 06. Dead And Gone
Woke up insane today
Dreamed I was blown away Ten thousand called my name Asleep at the wheel again Turn me down, turn me down Take my head and turn it around Turn me on, turn me on Everything I do is wrong Woke up in hell today Spoke to the devil, he turned away All of my friends were there They didn't have no time to spare Turn me down, turn me down Step back and I hit the ground Turn me on, turn me on Everything I do is wrong Out of the night comes a song that I know Twisted and ruined and black I can remember the people they were Nobody knows if they ever come back Lost in the ashes of time they still sing Echoes of romance gone bad I can remember them better than you I shared the darkness they had Dead and gone, dead and gone Woke up in my grave today I dreamed I heard you say All of eternity was pain I laid my head back down again Turn me down, turn me down Your lips move but you make no sound Turn me on, turn me on Everything I do is wrong Out of the night comes a song that I know Twisted and ruined and black I can remember the people they were Nobody knows if they ever come back Lost in the ashes of time they still sing Echoes of romance gone bad I can remember them better than you I shared the nightmares they had Dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone So long, so long, so long Dead and gone. 07. Night Side
Horror stalks the dark night
Keeps the world from our sight We can't see all of the silent ones coming To take the ultimate bite No lucky charm will suffice To keep the monsters at bay No clove of garlic or crucifix ever Kept the vampires away Night side, night side Open wide, open wide Night side, hell-born Night side, devil-spawn Darkness, in our poor eyes Helps the night to disguise The legions of crawling & Hopping black horrors Who come to aid our demise No lucky charms ever help To keep us safe while we sleep No incantation or pentacle ever Kept the strong from the weak Night side, night side. Open wide, open wide Night side, hell-born Night side, devil-spawn Night side, night side. Demons ride, demons ride Night side, ripped and torn Night side, devil-spawn Terror, afraid of the dark. Hear the devil dog bark. You cannot hope you can Ever outrun them And their teeth are ever so sharp No way to save your poor self No way to keep you immune No magic ever produced will assist you To outlive the full of the moon Night side, night side Open wide, open wide Night side, hell-born Night side, devil-spawn Night side, open wide Night side, devil-spawn Night side, night side 08. Don't Lie To Me
People talking but it ain't the truth
Lyin' ain't no substitute You ought to be ashamed of yourself Try to put the blame on somebody else Ain't no reason I know To stop you reaping what you sow You must know right from wrong Don't make out, you don't know what's going on. A man's gotta do it right And if we gotta fight all night That's alright. I got time. And fighting liars suits me just fine A man oughta tell it true According to his point of view And whatever you want to be Don't lie to me, don't lie to me People talking round and round Whisper rumours try to bring you down You can't make shit into gold And nothings over 'till the story's told People talking all around the world Eating facts and throwing up words Turn around so I can see your face I don't care if you need your space A man's gotta be a man and you can see just what I am There ain't no room for mistakes Everybody knows the moves they ought to make A man's gotta tell the truth. And if it's good, he don't need proof And whoever you think you see Don't lie to me, don't lie to me. People talkin' but they just don't know Ain't got no pride no more Want to be on TV so bad They give away all the honour they had Ain't no way I can see that people gonna listen to me But I know what I know And I'll see more than you'll ever show A man's gotta play the game And save the worth of his name Cause waiting out there on the edge Is everything you need to make a fool of yourself And if you want to know the score It that's what you're waiting for Don't look at me, I won't tell You better get out and see yourself Don't lie to me, don't lie to me Don't lie to me You know I hate that shit baby Don't lie to me, don't lie to me Uh-huh honey, can't you see Don't lie to me, don't lie to me. 09. Joy Of Labour
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead
Give me time to get it through my head They hanged me by the neck, I heard the devil laugh I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line Do you want to look right in the devil's face? You must have seen the ground where we upheld the Law I was a young man then, I was a young man then Spending time on the killing floor Do as you would want to be Joy of labour, sets you free Woke up scared, you know I woke up scared Give me time to show you, how I wound up there They put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in there I wasn't feeling well, I was the first in line Do you want see right through the devil's eyes? You must have seen the ground where they all stood before I was a young man then, I was a young man then Spending time on the killing floor Be more than you seem to be Joy of labour, sets you free Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead I was the only one, that saw the road ahead They beat me with their fists I did the devil's work And I was on their list, I was the first in line Do you even know what the devil does He drives a man 'till he can't take no more I was a young man then, I was a young man then Spending time on the killing floor 10. Desperate For You
What's up? What's up? What's up motherfucker?
I think I call your bluff Who's there? Who's there? I think I know, but I don't think I care Came in on the Flyer honey, 1952. I ain't for hire for money so I'll tell you what I'll do I'm gonna be a gangster, a gangster of love I might not be Al Capone, but I think I'll be quite good I'm all I got right now, so what are we gonna do I think I'm a desperado, desperate for you Way cool. Way cool. I don't talk like this, but I like to bend the rules. Too bad, it's too bad. To think of the face of a man whose woman you had Came in on the Silver Streak, 1964. I ain't for hire for money, but it sure beats being poor I'm gonna be an outlaw, just like Jesse James Rob all of your banks And the occasional train And if Bobby Ford should shoot me, I know just what you'd do That's why I'm a desperado, desperate for you. I'm gonna blow your brains out, just like Sirhan Sirhan You might not remember him, but believe me I sure can Gonna be a national hero, gonna be a household name Gonna be like a roaring wind, like a hurricane You'll never see it coming, might not hear it too You know I'm a desperado, desperate for you Desperate man, you know that's me Baby Nobody knows the trouble I've seen But it can be arranged 11. Better Off Dead
Don't you believe in me now?
Now that you found a new friend Anything goes but the truth Messages we never send Chorus. Anything goes when the angels sing Dance on volcanoes Wait see what tomorrow brings Better of dead, better of dead Better of dead, than your ass in a sling Why can't you open the door? I got the key in my hand I guess we're breaking the law I guess I don't understand Anything goes, but I must refuse Show me some action Wait 'till you see the news Better of dead, better of dead What is the problem here Get with the program Why do you stand accused Better of dead, better of dead Better of dead Like to see you walk a mile in my shoes What is the voice we don't hear Is it still talking to you I hope it's speaking real clear I hope it's pulling you through Anything goes, but I have to be fair Teach you a lesson Wait 'till I know you care Better of dead, better of dead Come and dance in your wheelchair Show me some traction Let me know when you get there Better of dead, better of dead, better of dead Keep all your love in your head |
