4. The Price
How long I have wanted This dream to come true And as it approaches I can't believe I'm through I've tried, Oh, how I've tried For a life, yes a life I thought I knew Oh it's the price we gotta pay And all the games we gotta play Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on 'cause it's a game we gotta lose, Though it's a life we gotta choose And the price is our own life until it's done Time seems to have frozen, But the mind can be fooled As the days pass I discover Destiny just can't be ruled Hard times, Oh hard times, For the prize, yes the prize, I thought I knew Oh it's the price we gotta pay And all the games we gotta play Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on 'cause it's a game we gotta lose, Though it's a life we gotta choose And the price is our own life until it's done Oh it's the price we gotta pay And all the games we gotta play Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on 'cause it's a game we gotta lose, Though it's a life we gotta choose And the price is our own life until it's done Oh it's the price we gotta pay And all the games we gotta play Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on 'cause it's a game we gotta lose, Though it's a life we gotta choose And the price is our own life until it's done 05.

Under The Blade Music by Twisted Sister
8. Under The Blade
A glint of steel A flash of light You know you're not going home tonight Be it jack or switch Doctor's or mind Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find You can't escape From the bed you've made When your time has come, you'll accept the blade! You're cornered in the alley way You know you're all alone You know it's gonna end this way The chill goes to the bone Now here it comes that glistening light It goes into your side The blackness comes Tonight's the night The blade is gonna ride 'cause you're under the blade Oh You're under the blade It's not another party head This time you cannot rise Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped A light shines in your eyes You faintly see a razor's edge You open your mouth to cry You know you can't It's over now The blade is gonna ride 'cause you're under the blade Oh You're under the blade A glint of steel A flash of light You know you're not going home tonight Be it jack or switch Doctor's or mind Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find You can't escape From the bed you've made When your time has come, you'll accept the blade! You've tried to make it to the front You're pinned against the side A monster stands before you now Its mouth is open wide The lights go on, the night explodes It tears into your mind When the night does end, you'll come again The blade is gonna ride 'cause you're under the blade Oh You're under the blade Here it comes baby Whoaaaaaaahhhh... You're goin' down, down, down, Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down... 09. I'll Never Grow Up, Now! Music by Twisted Sister

Be Chrool To Your Scuel Music by Twisted Sister
10. Bad Boys (Of Rock 'N' Roll)
Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll Be cruel to your school Just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and 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 startin' 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 Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll Be cruel to your school Just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll 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 ones who're 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 '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 Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll Be cruel to your school Just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll Be cruel to your school Just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school In the name of rock and roll All right 11.

Destroyer Music by Twisted Sister
12. Destroyer (Live Version)
He spent his life A silent sentinel For all to fear He walks, he talks, he thinks, he feels, But no dare go near He takes in all he sees Nothing escapes his gaze And when he strikes He strikes for right A glorious sight Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer He's in town He came to be From a grand mistake A mystical charade Created to decide the good And bring repercussive aid As awareness filled his fame He examined those who leered The he cleeved the air With his fiery stare Rend all those there Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer He's in town Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer He's in town A day will come You'll be drawn into The center of your town And come upon a mass of steel That cracks the very ground Prepare to meet your judge Don't think to run away Just pray your face Holds no disgrace For the deadly ace Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer He's in Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer He's in town Oh, he's town You'd better stay out of his way He's gonna kick your ass Yeah!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose Gonna shout it from the roof Blast my way into the night I'm gonna live my dream Shout and scream!
