Open your windows and your doors Because the band is playing today Gotta scream and shout and cry for more Don’t you know that band can play Every day and every night We’re looking around for the fight There’s nowhere to go no time to waste I don’t care I got no haste Who cares if tomorrow comes I don’t care gotta live for today Who cares if tomorrow comes Gonna waste my life for it anyway Plug in the amps and turn them up C’mon boys I can’t get enough There’s nowhere to go no time to waste I don’t care I’m not gonna stay

Bad Boy Baby 02:17
Back from the juvenile home you know I live in detention I always hated school you know they put me in suspension All the time and all those wasted years Don’t follow me don’t even get near Why do they all look at me I’m no different from you Sometimes I gotta slap my head to make sure the thoughts go through Sometimes I go a little slow Don’t you know I got nowhere to go All the times are wasted on here today Well this is for me cos I’m going my own way I’m a bad boy baby And I’m coming for you if you want me to
3.
You know there’s nothing to lose when all the hope is lost You gotta start from the top no matter what the cost You gotta hold your head high Don’t let it get to you Cos if it gets to you the point just won’t get through You gotta Hang on to the Dream You gotta hold your head high Hang on to the Dream Never let it die If you scream and shout they’ll try to shut you out You gotta make some noise let’em know what you’re about You know there’s talk of revolution and there’s fighting in the air We’ll write the new constitution let’em know we’re there
4.
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
5.
Blinded by my tears as I walk into my room There’s nothing left here I’m waiting on you The blood drips from my head as look from above I knew it all along this was my only love I said baby what are you trying to do There’s empty space I’m all by myself I’m doing it now yeah I don’t need no one else Take a walk around the block I gotta do it now Forget about me I’ll make it somehow Baby what are you trying to do I got the Guts for Glory walking around Guts for Glory hear that sound Guts for Glory I’m walking the line Guts for Glory I’m running out of time
6.
Espionage 02:36
I’m a spy taking photographs of all your plans I’m the main man I’m a secret government man Don’t mess with me I'll rip out your soul Don’t mess with me you won’t grow up Every day I don’t know what to do Every day I’m going to spy on you Just to walk around here walk around there for you I’m the workman that the country lives for I die for them and no one else Take a look around what do you see The people there they looking at me Every day I’m gonna spy on you Every day I’m gonna die for you Just to walk around here walk around there don’t know Espionage I’m the main government man Espionage got a secret in my hand Take a look your gonna draw your last breath You saw me laugh before you met your death And I will say I got nothing to lose I’ll die for me I’ll never die for you
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
13.
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
14.
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 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
16.
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
17.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
26.
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.
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.
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
29.
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.
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
33.
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
34.
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
35.
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
36.
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
37.
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
