Tracks



01. Overkill

Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud
So good I can't believe it
Screaming with the crowd

Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill, Overkill, Overkill
Shut up

On your feet you feel the beat, straight to your spine
Shake your head
You must be dead if this don't make you blind

Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill, Overkill, Overkill
Shut up

Know your body's made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut

Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill, Overkill, Overkill

02. No Feelings

Seen you in the mirror when the story began
And I fell in love with you I love yer mortal sin
Your brains are locked away but I love your company
I only ever leave you when you got no money
I got no emotions for anybody else
You better understand I'm in love with myself
Myself my beautiful self

No feelings no feelings
No feelings for anybody else

Hello and goodbye and a runaround Sue
You follow me around like a pretty pot of glue
I kick you in the head you got nothing to say
Get out of the way cos I gotta getaway
You never realise I take the piss out of you
You come up and see me and I'll beat you black and blue
Okay I'll send you away

No feelings no feelings
No feelings for anybody else except for myself
My beautiful self dear

Ain't no moonlight after midnight
I see you stupid people out looking for delight
Well I'm so happy I'm feeling so fine
I'm watching all the rubbish you wasting my time
I look around your house and there's nothing to steal
I kick you in the brain when you get down to kneel
And pray you pray to your god

No feelings no feelings
A no feelings for anybody else
No feelings no feelings
No feelings for anybody else except for myself
Your daddy's gone away be back another day
See his picture hanging on your wall

03. Hymn 43

Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son
He's busy with his money games -- his women and his gun
Oh Jesus save me!

And the unsung Western hero, he killed an Indian or three
And then he made his name in Hollywood
To set the white man free
Oh Jesus save me!

If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself
From the gory glory seekers who use His name in death
Oh Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself
From the gory glory seekers who use His name in death
Yeah, oh Jesus save me!

Well I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon
His cross was rather bloody
He could hardly roll His stone
Oh Jesus save me!

04. Changes

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had

She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

We shared the eve's
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way

But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes

Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

05. Space Truckin'

Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always have a ball on Mars
With meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealis
We're space trucking round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go Space trucking
Come on, come on, come on, Space trucking!

Remember when we did the moonshot
And Ronny Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral Moonstomp
And every naut would dance and way
We got music in our solar system
We're space trucking round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go Space trucking
Come on, come on, come on, Space trucking!

The fireball that we rode way moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! the frenks say
Man those cats can really swing
The got music in their solar system
The y've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around with Borealis
They're space trucking every day!
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go Space trucking
Come on, come on, come on, Space trucking!

06. Deuce

Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do
Do it

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

Honey
Don't put your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin' all your tears
Baby
Do the things he says to do
Do it

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
Yeah

07. Never Say Die

People going nowhere, taken for a ride
Looking for the answers that they know inside
Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme
Snow White's mirror said "partners in crime!"

Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold tight, do it ready, taking it slow

Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die

Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down, turn around, everything's fine

Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Never say die again

08. Death Tone

Ridin' on to wheels
Chainsuit on my heels
Sittin' on leather
Ridin' on steel

Put my shades on
Hair blows in the wind
I give some square the finger
Now he won't look again, no he won't

Now, you were sitting home
And I got sent to Nam
I give some square the finger
You just worked at job

Hear me calling
Can't you hear my death tone
Hear me calling
Can't you hear my death tone
Hear me ride
On into the night
Pull along side
If you're looking for a fight

My social workers
Got me on a chain
Keeps me out of jail
So the paper prints his name, yes it does, and he likes it

Unemployment checks
Run out next week
It won't be very long
'Til I'm back on the streets again

Now, you were sittin' home
And I was sent to Nam
I wen't through the big house
You just worked at job

Hear me calling
Can't you hear my death tone
Hear me calling
Can't you hear my death tone
Hear me ride
On into the night
Pull along side
If you're looking for a fight

Death tone
Death tone
Gonna ride on my death tone
On into the night

09. Cornucopia

Too much in the truth they say
Keep it 'till another day
Let them have their little game
Illusion helps to keep them sane

Let them have their little toys
Fast sports cars and motor noise
Exciting in their plastic place
Frozen food in a concrete maze

You're gonna go insane
I'm trying to save your brain

I don't know what's happening
My head's all torn inside
People say I'm heavy
They don't know what I hide

Take a life, it's going cheap
Kill someone, no one will weep
Freedom's yours, just pay your dues
We just want your soul to use

You're gonna go insane
I'm trying to save your brain

10. Tyrant

Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

Your very lives are held between my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

11. Ain't Nothin' To Do

I'm so sick of TV
You know, I'm getting bored of the tube
And I'm so sick of romance
I'm getting real sick of you

I wanna get on out of here
And find something to do
Yeah get on out of here
Just ain't nothin' to do

Listen
I'm so sick of FM
I don't play my stereo too
Just wanna get out on the street fight free
That is something to do

Wanna get on out of here
Ain't nothin' to do
Yeah get on out of here
Just ain't nothin' to do

There ain't nothin' to do
I gonna beat up the next yuppie I see
Maybe I'll be beating up you
Here I come baby
In your mouth

Ain't nothin' to do
Ain't nothin' to do

There ain't nothin' to do
Gonna knock down the next suit I see
Maybe I'll be knocking down you

Ain't nothin' to do
Ain't nothin' to do
Ain't nothin' to do

12. I'm Against It

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like politics
I don't like communists
I don't like games and fun
I don't like anyone

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like Jesus freaks
I don't like circus geeks
I don't like summer and spring
I don't like anything

I don't like sex and drugs
I don't like water bugs
I don't care about poverty
All I care about is me

Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it

I don't like playing ping pong
I don't like the Viet Cong
I don't like Burger King
I don't like anything

And I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it
Well I'm against it
I'm against it
