1. Objection Overruled
Objection Overruled
Members of the jury
Your conclusion has been drawn
Defendants should be sentenced
But you just let'em go
The city is a timebomb
The judge has lit the fuse
Vigilante breakout
Gotta tighten up the noose
Your honour, please
We want the truth - nothing but the truth
Your honour, please
Objetion overruled - let's hang'em high
Overruled - horsewhip'em
I call upon the nation
To take the whitness' stand
Too long you've stood in silence
Now justice will be done
Hey you - the jury members
You let the people down
We trusted your sincerity
One finger at the law
Your honour, please
We want the truth - nothing but the truth
Your honour, please
Objetion overruled - let's hang'em high
Overruled - horsewhip'em
The judge's hammer falls
Eruption in the court room
The cry goes up:"It's anarchy!"
Just stick your bloody rules
The judge's hammer falls
Let's loot them out of office
Some heads are gonna roll
The cry goes up:"It's anarchy!"
Your honour, please
We want the truth - nothing but the truth
Objetion overruled - let's hang'em high
Overruled - horsewhip'em
Objetion overruled - this is a travesty of justice
Overruled - appeal to a higher court
Objetion overruled - let's take it to the senate
Overruled - in the name of sanity
Objetion overruled - are you crazy
Overruled - are you crazy
2. I Don't Wanna Be Like You
I Don't Wanna Be Like You
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I tried
To be like you
To be a part of the tribe
I'd rather leave it all behind
But that's alright
I'm not your average type
No Mr. Clean - hey, I wanna be me
Can't you see - I'm the exception to the rule
I know what I want
And I know I'm gonna get it
That's is why - I'm the exception to the rule
Don't push me too far
The way I am is just because
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
I still don't wanna be like you
I'm hog-tied'n'dirty
I'm tough and mean
Keep your Wall Street slickers
And the american dream
You ('ve) done me over and over
You ('ve) tried to tie me down
Why don't you step out of the shadows
Dare to roll the dice
Let it roll - and don't you push me around
Can't you see - I'm the exception to the rule
I know what I want
And I know I'm gonna get it
That's is why - I'm the exception to the rule
Don't push me too far
The way I am is just because
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you - never ever!
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
But I still don't wanna be like you
The ordinary way of life ain't for me
I do what I want and I wanna be free
Never know, where I go or what I'm gonna do
Why can't you see - the only thing I know is that
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
If the oceans turn to desert
Hell can turn to ice
But I still don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you - no way!
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
But I still don't wanna be like - you!
3. Protectors of Terror
Protectors Of Terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They're in the business of illusion
An empire built on pain
The Almighty's inquisition
They're a fire burning out of controll
A thousand years of praying
Of faith, morality
A thousand years of staying
Of terror in the name of cross
Will you pray - will you cry
Thou shalt not bear false witness
When brothers in faith
Turn to brothers in arms
Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven images
How many more have to die
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
You pay for your salvation
You have to bend your knees in pain
No surrender to temptation
You're a slave to the eye of the Lord
Will you pray - will you cry
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain
When brothers in faith
Turn to brothers in arms
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's oxen
How many more have to die
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
- they are protectors
They are protectors of terror
Fear not those who dare to treed
upon the ashes of the chosen ones
They will drink the spillage of the blood
Behind closed doors the darkest
one prepares his altar of death
They are protectors
- will you pray - will you cry
Of terror
- when brothers in faith turn
to brothers in arms
They are protectors
- hom many more have to die
Laws carved in stone are rewritten in blood
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
- they are protectors
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
4. Slaves to Metal
Slaves To Metal
We hold the seeds of metal
And we scatter them around
We'll eat you up - and spit you out
Like a pack of wolves on the hunt
We are the kings of madness
We are the sons of evil
Burning down every house
We are the metal gladiators
Unchain the beast and let it loose
Come raise your hand and shout it out
We want it now we want it loud
'cause we are slaves to metal
- locked into the taste of steel
Slaves to metal
- we'll march you to the beat
We are slaves to metal
- chained up to the sound
Slaves to metal
- we'll rock you to the ground - so evil
Born to be the bloodhounds
In the legions of the damned
A million miles of madnesses
On the battleground of screaming guitars
Will you taste the sweat of metal
Will you lick the open wounds
It's the ultiment commandment
Which will guarantee your doom
Come raise your hand and shout it out
We want it now we want it loud
'cause we are slaves to metal
- locked into the taste of steel
Slaves to metal
- we'll march you to the beat
We are slaves to metal
- chained up to the sound
Slaves to metal
- we'll rock you to the ground
'cause we are slaves to metal
- locked into the taste of steel
Slaves to metal
- we'll march you to the beat
We are slaves to metal
- chained up to the sound
Slaves to metal
- we'll rock you to the ground
Slaves to metal
5. All or Nothing
All Or Nothing
Revolution in the streets
Our vision turned into reality
Too late to stop it now
A spark that's lit a fire burning high
It's time to take a stand
Stand up for your rights and your beliefs
Together we'll strang - we're gonna fight them all
We got the power - to turn the world around
It's all or nothing - and we don't stop fighting
All or nothing - and we won't back down
It's all or nothing - we can light a fire
All or nothing - we will take it all
No matter what you are
No matter where you're from and where you go
There's a place for all of you
Side by side - we can only win
No turning back the time
The force is growing day by day
No wall is high enough - no chain too strong
We got the power - to double back around
It's all or nothing - and we don't stop fighting
All or nothing - and we won't back down
It's all or nothing - we can strike a fire
All or nothing - we will take it all - we will take it all
It's all or nothing - let us break the silence
All or nothing - we will shout it out
It's all or nothing - so we'll strike a fire
All or nothing
It's all or nothing - and we don't stop dreaming
All or nothing - and we won't back down
It's all or nothing - and we won't stop believing
All or nothing - we will take it all - we will have it all
6. Bulletproof
Bulletproof
He called it this - he called it that
But never what it was
We called it shit - we called it grass
That's the way it was
He took it once - just for the thrill
He'd bought a ticket to ride
We laughed about - the jokes he told
He was one of the boys
Hey, what a guy - he used to be
When he was sober and dry
Smokey nights - Gloomy lights
He was high as a kite
When he turned into a demon
No way to calm him down
Just like a Jekyl and Hyde
He wasn't bulletproof
- Shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
- It's destination underground
Too many jouneys - on acid trains
Too many trips - on the astral plane
Danced with Lucy in the sky
On a cloud of ecstasy
Too late to stop him now
Even sacrifice his mother
Turn against his only friend
To reach the ultimate high
He wasn't bulletproof
- He shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
- It's destination underground
Bulletproof
- The chief is your medicine-man
No man is bulletproof
- He's gonna drug you down
He thought that he could fly
That he could reach the sky
But he went up too high - oh, so high
He kissed the ground - goodbye
He wasn't bulletproof
- He shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
- Destination underground
Bulletproof
- The chief is your medicine-man
No man is bulletproof
- He's gonna drug you down
7. Amamos la Vida
Amamos La Vida
In times of peace
Times of war
The sky remains the same
You reach for the stars too far away
The one who's born in misery
Is left without a chance
But still holding on to naked life
Amamos la vida
Amamos la vida
What a time - what a place
For someone who's lost
It's hard to survive
In the jungle of life
Amamos la vida
Amamos la vida
Is there someone to hear me
Is there noone to see
Is there someone to hear me
Doesn't anybody care
A single tear in the river of life
The dogs have turned their backs
Today a face - that you don't know
And tomorrow it's you
Amamos la vida...
A single tear in the river of life
Amamos la vida
Amamos la vida
8. Sick, Dirty and Mean
Sick, Dirty And Mean
He's got the power - he's like a god
But he's the devil of flesh and blood
A '45 is his religion - code of silence his belief
It's the kiss of death
A '45 is his religion - code of silence his belief
You can find them in a gutter
You will find 'em in your church
They always knows each other
They call it family
You may end up six-feet-under
Anywhere and anytime
It's a one-way-street with a thousand lanes
And a million ways to die
A Thompson sub-machine gun made my day
Sick, dirty and mean
You can hide but you can't run
Sick, dirty and mean
Headhunters cut you down
A godfather's kiss - an icepick in your eye
Sick, dirty and mean
It's like a killing machine
Can you hear your mother crying
Can you see your father die
Can you walk away from children
Dying facedown in the dirt
But if you break the code of silence
You gotta do it anyway
If we don't stop the violence
The mob is here to stay
A pair of concrete slippers
- there're all vultures all over your back
Sick, dirty and mean
You can hide but you can't run
Sick, dirty and mean
Headhunters cut you down
They will terminate your contract
- they will finalize the deal
Sick, dirty and mean
It's a killing machine
A '45 is his religion - code of silence his belief
It's a double barreled shotgun with an Ouzi on the side
Sick, dirty and mean
You can hide but you can't run
Sick, dirty and mean
Headhunters cut you down
If you wanna be a songbird -
there's an axe to clip your wings
Sick, dirty and mean
It's a killing machine
Sick, dirty and mean
Sick, dirty and mean
Sick, dirty and mean
Sick, dirty and mean
9. Donation
Donation
It's way past noon - I just woke up
Man - I feel like shit
One drink too much - took me right out - pass
How the hell did I get home
I was still in bed when I heard the door
Somebody kept on knockin'
And there she was - neat as a pin
Smile on the face - staring down on me
There she was - there she was
Asking for the little donation
There she was - there she was
Shakin' more than my foundations
So I asked her in - and to my surprise
She didn't waste no time
She took off her dress - kicked off her shoes
And threw away her glasses
She was here - she said - to save my soul
Asking for a little donation
I gave her all I had to give
Waiting for my salvation
There she was - there she was
Praying for the little donation
On her knees - there she was
Shakin' more than my foundations
--- There she was
Begging for a little donation
Down on her knees ---
She rocked me down to my foundations
- down to my foundations
It's all for a good purpose
But it ain't for charity
It's all for a good purpose
She came for money - and gave her dignity
C.O.D.- Charity
C.O.D.- Charity - no charge
C.O.D.- Charity - no fees
C.O.D.- Charity
C.O.D.- Charity - she came - she saw - she conquered
C.O.D.- Charity
C.O.D.- Charity - she came - she saw - she had it from me
C.O.D.- Charity
C.O.D.- Charity - down
C.O.D.- Charity - down on me
C.O.D.- Charity - oh Lord
C.O.D.- Charity - she's sucking out the devil
the devil in me
You know - I'm good
Do you like my holy donation
Just call on me - whenever your want
And rock me down to my foundation
--- There she was
Asking for a little donation
Don't ever stop - don't spill a drop
Keep a shakin' on a my foundations
10. Just by My Own
11. This One's for You
This One's For You
I can't wait much longer
Revenge is overdue
You took your chance and screwed me
Way back in '82
Inside my hate is burning
My brain's on overload
My innocence is over
Now I'm ready to explode
I'm gonna be your nemesis
- I like it when you scream
I'm the mother of your nightmares
- got a contract to redeem
This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - your time is up
Stick it - shove it - where the sun don't shine
You've always been a wise guy
You played at being rough
I stripped away your masquerade
And now you ain't so tough
You're a coward with no backbone
I will crush you with my heel
Put the scrapings in my blender
Add some bourbon - what a meal
I'm gonna be your nemesis
- I like it when you scream
I'm the mother of your nightmares
- got a contract to redeem
This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - I hold the ace
Stick it - shove it
This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - a bunchof fives
Stick it - shove it
This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - no one but you
Stick it - shove it
- where the sun don't shine
