When it Hits the Streets
03:13
|
|||
Every day is tearing me apart
Waking up each day is breaking my heart Every day I gotta ask myself why
But there ain’t no answer
my life has been a lie
Time is going too slow its going too fast
When the pressure’s coming on
I don’t think I can last
Time is going too fast
going too slow I’m gonna explode
Girls come around but I don’t care no more I’m losing everything I once lived for Everything is so useless nowadays
I gotta do something
I gotta change my ways
I’m gonna walk around tonight When it hits the streets I’m gonna Walk around until daylight
When it hits the streets
Gonna fight to be the man I am
When it hits the streets I’m gonna Find out if I’m a man
When it hits the streets tonight Yesterday a man said who are you
Said hey mister what’s it matter to you
Said it looks like you’ve got some problems I said it’s my life you know I’m going along

Too Many Times
03:15
|
|||
I used to worry
about what they said to me and plan for the future
what a great life it would be But everything they said was oh so wrong
And from that day on there’s no reason to go on I’m not gonna be their fool
Cos there are dreams to be found
I’ve been deceived just too many times And I won’t be fooled not this time around On the streets today
there are many new ideas And I can learn from them enough to get me by
I don’t need college
or any sort of training school
No it’s not for me
I’m not gonna be their fool

Looking for Easy Street
02:49
|
|||
Now it’s time to wake up
so we can see what we have done
We never did the things we said we’d do
you know the lies go on and on People keep on changing
and we keep changing too
But it’s no excuse to run away cos you can’t run away from you Looking up at a skyscraper
or looking down at the street Everyone’s looking for the easy way out you know they’re looking for easy street I guess you’ll never learn
until it hits you in the face
Life ain’t gonna get better because you go to a better place
And when the pressure’s coming down I don’t wanna be around
You know they’re looking for easy street They don’t got nothing to do
they don’t got nothing to say They don’t got nothing to do except waste their life away
Because they’re looking for easy street All the time that’s left
and all the past is gone
You gotta run away you gotta run away
That’s why I write this song Days go by before your eyes and you know they seem to go
All the time and all those wasted years You left me for you
|

Let's Make a Revolution
02:43
|
|||
Well let’s put the plan into action We’re gonna make it work this time Find the ultimate satisfaction
in committing the ultimate crime Well the times are gonna change You better be there when they do
Cos if you don’t change with the times you’ll be the only one to lose
That’s why you gotta make a revolution
Gotta make a revolution today
You gotta make a revolution
Gotta make a revolution today okay Well you know there may be danger in what may lie ahead
But you know I ain’t no stranger
and I ain’t afraid to be dead Revolution well the cities will burn Revolution yeah the heads will turn Revolution they say it won’t work Revolution we’re Kirk and the Jerks Revolution we’re gonna walk that line Revolution won’t give us time

Hanging out by the Radio
I’m listening to the tunes I don’t even know
I need something to do
Walking around these empty streets by myself I’ll get down on my feet Yeah Baby I’m thinking of you Remember all those nights before Talk for hours or maybe more That’s all It’s all over now
Sitting around watching TV
I’m watching the shows I don’t ever see I need a change of pace
Looking for fun where can I go
I’m looking for something I’ll never know I need to see your face
I’m all alone by the telephone
I’m all alone and I’m waiting on you Is tomorrow just another day
I don’t know and who’s to say
I need a change of pace Looking for fun where can I go
I’m looking for something I’ll never know
I need to see your face
|

11. |
||||
They say we’re the last generation
headed for extermination
But we’ll make our final stand
On the battle ground
we fight against the killers of the night And our voices in high command
We hear the screaming souls bleed
they’re desperately in need of
that new light to shine on them When the time comes to rise we’ll have no compromise
And we’ll make our final stand
We’re marching with the last generation
We gotta keep marching
We got the power in the palm of our hands We gotta keep marching
they say we’re the soldiers of the last generation
We gotta keep marching
So take a breath and scream out to the land
We’re not the first, we’re not the last We fight tough cos we’re the best On the streets is where we play
We won’t leave we’re here to stay
|
||||
12. |
||||
I’m gonna step on over to the other side Win lose or die I ain’t gonna tie
My guns are loaded and they’re aimed at you I’m a spazmo baby with nothing to do
Step on over to the other side
Never get a break never let them try Step on over to the other side
Don’t ask questions don’t ask why
My brain is boiling in the middle of the night
I’m looking for a good time I’m looking for a fight
So don’t mess with me cos Ill mess with you
And you’ll pay the price more than you wanted to
Sweat is cold and my mouth is dry C’mon dance with me if you wanna die and you can stay with me
in the middle of the night
And we’ll step on over to the other side And I’ll explode in your face
just like a hydrogen bomb
Make you feel so bad that you wanna run and the world can be ours yours and mine If we step on over to the other side

Out of My Head
03:23
|
|||
Time passes me and I get confused
I can’t catch up by reading the news One day I’m young and the next I’m old It gets me down and I lose control Staring out a window
when I’m looking at a wall
but it’s all the same I see nothing at all Waking up in sweat from a happy dream I could walk outside but I’d never be seen Oh, I’m going out of my head
Am I alive or am I dead
I’m just trying to have some fun
but I can’t do nothing cos the damage is done tomorrow was a great day but yesterday hurts Next week is bad and it’s getting worse
I’m standing on the ceiling
and I’m flying on the floor
I think I lost some sense somewhere
now I’ve got four
So put in the straps make me cry A padded cell where I should die
I’m just a useless kid who’d be better off dead I’m mentally ill I’m out of my head
I think I’m going out of my mind I can’t make it by in time
I’m all alone when I’m in a crowd My music’s too low so I turn it down I watch TV before I turn it on
Being a mental case ain’t too fun

Backstreet Angel
06:38
|
|||
No matter how clean or pretty they were
They could never be as good as you
It didn’t matter if they tried it didn’t matter if they cared
They could never turn me on like you
You left me stranded in the middle of the night Stuck with memories for the rest of my life You came along just like a flash in the pan
I’ve got pictures of you all over my room
I know you’re coming back and it better be soon Cos girl I’m never ever gonna forget you
No one understood what I saw in you But I guess they never will
Backstreet girl I’ll never forget you You you’re a backstreet skill
I’ll never forget those nights
with my backstreet angel
She always knew how to do me right
|

15. |
It's Been a Long Time
04:08
|
|||
It’s another day in the city and everything’s running on time Except the beating of my heart It’s a beat behind
No I’ll never be the same without you You broke my heart into tiny pieces what am I supposed to do
It’s been a long time since you were mine
All my tears are gone
and I’m standing on the sky
It’s been a long time since you were there
You never cried but you never cared about me I found a new baby
she’s my Rock and Roll queen I’ve never seen a girl so hot oh yeah she’s so mean
Now I’m on my own
with no place to go
Another day in the life of a loser
I think I’m on my own
|

To Hell with 'Em All '87
02:48
|
|||
The time has come and it’s come today We’re doing it in our own way
So to Hell with all your lies and rumors
We gotta speak up let’s speak the truth now
And all I hear is the call
To Hell with ‘Em all
Choose your gun and take your aim
We don’t care it’s all the same
We don’t wanna play your little game
People cry a million tears
and all they do is beg for more
Cos they don’t see
what happens around them until it all just falls too short
The time has come and it’s come today We’re doing it in our own way
I don’t care anyway
All I wanna do is play And all I know is the call To Hell with ‘Em all
Cos all I see is everyone waiting for the fall
So cut us down and we’ll cut you too We don’t care we got nothing to lose In the end it’s all up to you
|

Too Bad for Heaven
03:41
|
|||
I guess I kept it clean for most of my life but I never claimed to be a Saint
A Pope or Preacher or Mother Teresa
but that’s just what I ain’t
I’ve committed sins with girls in the night but that ain’t nothing new
I’m not a good guy I always wear white
doesn’t that mean something too
I can’t win for losing when I got no soul to sell I’m too bad for Heaven baby
but I’m too good for hell
So what can I do when I bid my life farewell I did a few things along the way
that I will always regret
But I don’t think I should burn in hell
for all the things I did
I gotta admit that I like temptation
but it’s all in good fun
Don’t care for evolution or even creation I don’t care I wanna have my fun
Its only life that’s all it will ever be
Every day is a bullet in the gun
Life’s so short and now they’re talking eternity I don’t care I wanna have my fun
|
||||
18. |
||||
I know she’s gonna come around Its gonna make her feel good
I know she’s gonna come around and do like she should
And every time I see her it gets me so high
Every time I see her I think I wanna die
I’ll be standing at the back door waiting for her
Standing at the back door she thinks I’m a jerk
Standing at the back door waiting for her you know
Standing at the back door
Tomorrow I’ll be waiting at the corner store
To see her again and I’ll get less or more
Parents don’t like me but I don’t like them
I don’t need no one I’m on my own again
|
||||
19. |
||||
I wanna take a vacation go somewhere far away
Gotta stop my heart from aching can’t live another day
Ain’t gonna look for trouble just gonna have a good time
Get some money on the double and I’ll catch the next flight
Somewhere out there there’s a girl for me
I gotta find her now I got the whole world to see
Somewhere out there someday I’m gonna find
What I’ve been looking for it’s just a matter of time
I’ve got a never ending heartache
It’s aching for fun
Never ending heartache
Do anything for some
Never ending heartache
Aspirin won’t do
Never ending heartache
It’s aching for you
I’ve been waiting for so long for this holiday
Now my time has finally come everything’s going my way
|
||||
20. |
Lighting Strikes
03:50
|
|||
I feel the anger pulsing through my veins like a locomotive on fire
When it hits my mind I’m gonna go insane that’s when I’ll retire
I tried to change the day and do it my way but the time is gone
and there’s nothing left to say Looking for the sun in a sky of black You know I’ll never see the light Reaching for the courage I lack
but the darkness is too bright When the lightning strikes I’m coming home to you Can’t you hear me crying from this lonely room
When the lightning strikes in the dead of night
When the lightning strikes
I’m coming home to you
I crawl for shelter on the burning ground
but it holds no sympathy
I got a ticket to the lost and found
but no one’s claiming me
|
||||
21. |
||||
Made in the backseat of a 55
And I’m groovin to the beat of American jive Drifting around like a rolling stone
And I’m working my fingers down to the bone Some say I’m old fashioned
and maybe that’s the way it should be Cos that’s my main attraction
Living in the land of the free
Raise a little hell like my daddy before
But when I die I’ll knock on heaven’s door Don’t need to search for paradise
Cos its right here in front of my eyes Where Angels fear to tread
That’s where I gotta be Ain’t waiting for the dead to come and visit me
|
||||
22. |
Running with the Boys
02:42
|
|||
I tried to open the window
but the sunlight burned my eyes So I pulled back into the shadows where my satisfaction lies
On the streets below
all the cars keep rushing by
and I’m standing here on the inside doing all I can not to cry
Cos I know where the action is when I’m running with the boys There’s a rumbling in the streets
and there’s a cry from the South side Sometimes the sound ain’t so sweet but that’s all you can do
through the night
You gotta keep your head
above the water
or else its gonna make you drown The days are long
and they’re getting shorter
and we won’t be around
|

23. |
One Way to Do It
03:22
|
|||
Hey baby I don’t wanna waste my time No need to tell you that you’re out of line Everything that’s going around
I don’t need a love that’ll bring me down
Pretty girls walk by without saying a word You know it’s alright baby haven’t you heard ain’t nothin better than playing Rock & Roll My ship came in but my pockets are empty My hope can’t pay for the bills you send me They say starvation is damn good for the soul There’s only one way to do it
You’d better move it or lose it There’s only one way to do it
Looking for an answer but I got no clue Cos living for the moment is what I do Ain’t no fun to wait another day Shooting like a star right out of the sky Faster than a glimpse of the TV eye
I better burn out before I’m blown away
|
||||
24. |
September Rain
04:03
|
|||
Hello baby it’s been a while
a thousand years since I’ve seen your smile
and you still got the look that makes me shake
I know girl that you’ve had it rough yeah Ain’t no need to be so tough
I remember you
and the love we used to make
You were my streetcar named desire My angel from above
and nothing could take me higher than your love
Moving down past the danger zone yeah
I’m so far, so far from home
I got nowhere to go and nothing better to do Now are things that I was told
Remember girl how you shake my soul Oh baby I keep on missing you
My tears are falling in September rain I’ve done nothing but feel the pain My tears are falling in September rain and I’m still crying
|
||||
25. |
Dirty Love
04:14
|
|||
I was drawn by your black satin and the sweet smell of your skin The electric chair you sat in made my heart burn from within
My systems run on overload baby I’m still young but I feel so cold baby She took me to the graveyard
to see her next of kin Sometimes it was so damn hard to share her darkest sin
I thought I could live without her yeah I thought I could break away but her system was too strong
she was prying the soul out of me Dirty Love
Driving me crazy
Dirty Love makes me insane Take me to the top
with your Dirty Love
She’s brainwashing me with fire and you know I’m burning up You got a little thing called desire and you know I can’t get enough
|

To Be a Hero
03:51
|
|||
Sunrise falls on the sunset strip
and I’m trying to get a grip
of the things that got a hold of me Another ache another flash of pain Throw me the bottle that’s got no name Cos I need to end this misery
A thousand degrees and I’m still burning
My tongue is tied My heart is yearning
For something I may never know To be a hero is all I need to be
Let the midnight star shine bright on me I wish I could make you see
That there is a dream inside of me To be a hero
Out of step in the naked heat
Too many people pushing their own beat
And I just can’t get my way
Another day Ill give it one more shot It’s so hard to be something I’m not But I just can’t break away
|
||||
27. |
Gun and a Tear
04:58
|
|||
I’m the one who runs wild and free and you’re the cold blood inside of me I’m a star in the desert sun
and you’re a thief on the midnight run Well I’m gonna take you under Through the rain and the thunder You’re going down
You’re not the first
to feel my burning lead
So take that halo off your head And these boots
are stained with lipstick marks
And good memories of broken hearts With a gun and a tear you’re going down So don’t mess with what you don’t know I’m just a bandit who must live alone These times getting me the trouble today With a gun and a tear I’ll make you pay And as she was lying in the smokey room I loaded my cylinder
And moved closer to you
I’m not a cold man wanna lust So come on over baby
and take me in the dust
|
||||
28. |
You Better Move Me
02:59
|
|||
I’ve been looking for a lover
with the magic touch You know I got a lot and I don’t need much
So if you’re gonna move me
You better move me good I know little girl you think you’re the best
But if you want my love you better break a sweat
And if you’re gonna move me You better move me good You better move me
Move me good
You better get that system into overdrive
We’re going extra innings if it
takes all night
I hope your engine’s clean
cos its gonna run
And when the rubber starts
burning we’ll be having fun
|

Tears of a Fool
06:16
|
|||
No angel of mercy is on my side to help me pass this lonely time I can’t live without you
And so I dream my days away in another world so far away I’m just as lost as you
Cos I’m growing older now
I feel the pain somehow
Back and forth and straight ahead too many nights
I’ve been alone in bed
just thinking about you
I cry for laughter to ease the pain
just to have you back again My time is running down My head is spinning around but that ain’t nothing new And she said No No No Tears of a fool
are falling from you Don’t ware me down The game is done
and you said your lies
Heartbreak is the consolation prize
Why can’t you be true Through endless nights in the city I roam
I wish someday
you’d come on back home
But some dreams don’t come true
|
||||
30. |
||||
I thought I paid the price
but I guess I’m still in debt
Cos all I never wanted is all I ever get and I’m feeling like I’m down again
I can’t wait for the breakdown
I got no time to lose
I can’t wait for the breakdown
A marathon in dead man’s shoes I spent the day in mourning waiting on the night
To cover me in darkness
So I just won’t lose sight
and I’m tied up in loose ends again
|
||||
31. |
Engine No. 9
02:05
|
|||
The tracks are streaked with rust
The driver’s all doped up
Takes another sip from the bottle but he knows it’s not enough You can see it in his eyes
He doesn’t need to talk
He can swim in the whiskey or drown in your loss
The circuits aren’t receiving the engine never stops
The steam is generated
by the coal in all man’s hearts on my reckless train of thought Bewildered by the signs
No helping hand to lend
and the passengers are bums and third world immigrants Over burning bridges now
We’re running on malfunction
Crossing the distance to heartbreak junction
On my reckless train of thoughts
nothing’s found until its lost
|

32. |
Everything that Shines
02:36
|
|||
From twenty floors above the ground
where I’ll be buried six feet down I take a breath and look around wait to hear the sound
That calls me back and toes the line and gives me light when I am blind Makes water when I take a dive light to let me dry
Through the rise and endless fall right up until the curtain calls All alone and one in all
Fight the closing walls
I’m searching for the truth in the light of day when it’s coming down and I feel this way As the world spins round
I’ll tie the hands of time
Until I am a part of everything that shines Late for my date with destiny
and fate don’t want no part of me
Karma said I’ll be in touch
And returned instantly
Time and time I’m down again I’m feeling like I don’t know when I’m slipping through another day Feel the closing walls
You and I can build, you and I can dream Walk a foreign shore to places never seen by the human eye
which is known to lie But we can find the truth In everything that shines

Real Life
02:49
|
|||
Looking for a love in my satellite Sonic waves in my head tonight Going round and round again Switching channels but all I see
are death tolls rise and war on the streets and you know blood and money don’t sleep There just ain’t nothing to believe
I’m talking about real life
has got me down again
Sunny delusions have gone away These twisted times are here to stay Living in my new clear daze
In my minds eye I’ve been blinded by a future that has passed me by
It didn’t even say goodbye
I feel it way down deep inside
It just ain’t right
I’m talking about real life has got me down again
and I don’t know if my time will ever come
Night slips away
and then comes another day
I’m all fog and in it now
and I feel it all coming down
Just ain’t no way out
Just got me too much doubt
I feel it when I’m down
|

Until the Bleeding Stops
03:59
|
|||
From the Vatican
to the Parliament and Pentagon
We’re looking out for the great beyond
Until the bleeding stops
The Saints came marching in and got shot down again
With amazing grace they hit the ground Drunk on the blood of Christ
and holy rollers of paradise Cos every disciple needs a vice
And the deepest thoughts are beyond words and the loudest screams can’t be heard
I’m free to roam but still doing time
as my heart of fire walks thin ice Until the bleeding stops
Leaders in tanks of tin
got orders from dead presidents
to call off the mission and pull out I’m searching everywhere for you
but where are you when I come unglued and I need someone cos I’m so blue
I’m tuning in to all the stations of the cross But somehow I still feel so lost
and the bleeding won’t stop
|

VooDoo Doll
03:07
|
|||
Thunder keeps screaming like a gypsy in the sky Blood drips slow and easy from the needles eye Dead on the street
to the beat of the jungle call
That’s where I was found face down
with my voodoo doll
For the first time I realize
that I need you here by my side
And I want you every day and night a little hugs and kisses
make me feel alright
I feel the needles and pins in my heart Drags me down and it tears me apart Little girl you’re my voodoo doll
I’m down on my knees
and I cry baby don’t you please Don’t do to me
what you did to that holy priest The walls are going down
and baby I know it burns
Forever after is never for me to learn Voodoo doll she keeps shakin
and the walls go down Be good breakin
And I’m feeling down and I know it’s alright
Voodoo doll baby let me squeeze There’s something going down
I can’t believe
and I know it’s going down but I know it’s alright

I stare in to the darkness cos there is no light to view
When the world goes down around me
I feel I’m gonna break in two
So full of complications it brings me to my knees So full of aggravations my mind can’t sit at ease Everything is in control
but my mind ain’t where it should be
I don’t care anymore
so sick of mediocrity
You write me poison letters all over your wall
You say you care a lot
but you don’t care at all Somebody’s gotta help me now All alone in an empty world Sometimes I gotta scream out loud Being a number ain’t good enough I don’t wanna be in the crowd
I try to look at the bright side but it’s just an endless void This lack of reality
seems to get me so annoyed
I’ve answered all your questions now it’s time for truth
After it’s all said and done
what has become of my youth
