1. Old School
Nowadays it's just not the same
Now they're playing a different game
I love to think about the things I miss
Sometimes I just like to reminisce
Looking back - with no regret
Stay on track - I won't forget, I won't forget
Old school - embracing the past
Old school - only good things last
Innocence and sentiment
Are in permanent retirement
Stay on track - with no regret, I won't forget
It's not that I like to live in the past
But some things just don't last
I remember how it used to be
I use the past to influence me
Looking back - with no regret
Stay on track - I won't forget, I won't forget
2. Green Jesus
Anything for money is the philosophy today
It's become a religion, God is pay.
No matter what your colour, race or your cree
All for the love of money, living ain't for free
"Money makes the world go round" is what I've heard them say
Bowing to your paper God, screwing anyone in your way
The problem is that no one cares, it's become a diety
The root of all evil, melting down society
Green Jesus - let us pray
Green Jesus
Money can't buy happiness is what the rich believe
Poverty stricken homeless are sleeping in the street
The power and the money seem to go hand in hand
This popular religion is the king of the land
Dollars, Yen
Liras, Marks and Pesos, money to spend
Rubels, Francs and Kronen, moeny to lend
In fortune or poverty we all will survive
Social assistance seems to keep as alive
Criminal activity is rampant in the street
Who is God and what religion do you believe?
Dollars, Yen
Sheckels, Pounds and Guilders, money to spend
3. Show Me Your Tits
I like 'em big, I like 'em small
I like 'em round, I love 'em all
I just want to look and see
What you got for me
I like 'em soft. I like 'em hard
Come on now, let down your guard
I just want to look and see
What you got for me
What you got for me
Show me, show me your tits
Show me what you got for me
Show me, show me your tits
Show me, I just want to see
I like 'em fake, I like 'em real
I like to look, I like to feel
I wish that I could have a squeeze
I just wanna tease
Now that it is legal
It's great without a doubt
Come on girls lose your shirts
And let them titties out
Improvements of women's rights
Let them do just what they might
I just want to look and stare
What you got to bear
What you got to bare
I just want to see
I just want to see
Your tits
4. No One to Follow
What happened to all the great leaders
The ideals that they believed
They have all died and perished
With ideas that they conceived
What happened to the great war hero
The cause for what he fought
His medals were tarnished in Vietnam
His honour we forgot
No one to follow
No one to lead the way
No one to follow
Nothing is here to stay
What happened to trust and faith
For all the good they do
Corrupt church and child abuse
Have both obscured our view
Inconclusive
So illusive
In confusion
disolutioned
No one to follow
Nothing is here to stay
What happened to the laws of the land
Justice for all
Corner stones are broken
Civilization will fall
Inconclusive
So illusive
In confusion
disolutioned
No one to follow
No one to follow
No one to follow
No one to lead the way
No one to follow
Nothing is here to stay
5. Hair Pie
Dessert is my favourite meal, I eat it every day
A dietary supplement that's certain to stay
It's my favourite recipe and it's easy to follow
Can't wait to get a mouthful, bite down and swallow
It's got the flavour that can't be beat
It's a mans treat
Knee high in hair pie
Knee high in hair pie
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
Connoisseurs dessert is eaten on your back
Add a little honey, maybe some whipped cream
Do it with a friend if you know what I mean
Knee high in hair pie
Knee high in hair pie
Put the batter in the bowl, then begin to stir
Bring it to a lather if you want to be sure
The flavour of this delicacy really can't be beat
It's a man's meal that's more than just a treat
It's got the taste that can't be beat
More than a mans treat
Knee high in hair pie
6. Rubber Neck
Driving down the road, I see the brakelights ahead
Someone's crashed their car and they might be dead
Might be dead
I can't help myself, but I must look and see
All I can say is "I'm sure glad it's not me"
Rubberneck
Outta my way
Rubberneck
Tangled metal, glass fragments on the road
Jackknifed trailer has lost it's load
Lost it's load
I can't help myself, but I must look and see
All I can say is "I'm sure glad it's not me"
Caught in traffic, I hate the stress
Lining up to see the mess
I don't want to see
Another fatality
Flying truck tires smashing down from the sky
Greed of industry cause people to die
People die
Foot on the gas pedal, then on the brake
I think I've had all I can take
I can't help myself, but I must look and see
All I can say is "I'm sure glad it's not me"
7. Piss Test
Invading your privacy by authoritative rule
Finding a culprit or maybe a mule
Law breaking citizen tries to keep it cool
Keep it cool
You must try to obstain
Nothing to stop the pain
For breaking this law they will incarcerate
Random testing, they wait for you to urinate
You must try to obstain
Nothing to stop the
Piss test, fill the cup
Piss test, filler up
Technology today makes it easy to pry
Well all I can say is "Here's piss in your eye"
Here's piss in your eye
You must try to obstain
Nothing to stop the pain
Piss test, fill the cup
Piss test
8. Red Light
We love to spend our life in a tour bus on the road
In this song you get a glimpse, welcome to our abode
Been to many places, we've done alot of gigs
Trashed alot of women, we've lived like pigs
Never want to go home
Living bad to the bone
Red lights in Hamburg and whores on the street
Places like Amsterdam it seemed more discreet
I walked around the city squares till my feet were sore
Really don't care if I see another whore
Never want to go home
Action in the danger zone
Dance, dance, dance of the midnight tour
Dance, dance, dance of the red light whore
Dance, dance, dance of the midnight tour
Dance, dance, dance of the red light whore
Always a story waiting to unfold
Always a promoter leaving you out in the cold
I don't care about all that shit, I wanna have fun
I just wanna kick some ass until the day I'm done
Never want to go home
Living like a rolling stone
Another place I haven't been
Places that I haven't seen
Feeling tough and playing mean
9. Black or White
Living in opposition, drawing lines in the sand
We all have a point of view in the freedom of our land
If it's not your colour it's the thoughts within your head
Living in fear and ignorance is how lies are spread
More and more I see it, people dying from gunplay
Horrible acts of violence permeate the world today
We look to blame each other for the colour of our skin
Blinded by propoganda, where did this all begin?
Black or white, black or white
Who is wrong, who is right
Black or white, black or white
Never wrong, never right
When will this conflict subside?
When our hatred has died
When will we learn to get along?
When we learn to differ right from wrong
Living with each other, no more line in the sand
Shedding all the lies and myths, wash the blood from our hands
If it's not your colour it's the thoughts within your mind
Parents teach your children, it's the only hope for mankind
10. Hero by Death
When you think of all the great people that have died
The things they did, the way they lived their lives
Many have gone without knowing their fame
We are the ones that are left to blame
Examples of man's stupidity
Endless lessons in humility
Why do we wait till they're gone and dead?
We martyr their soul as the good book says
Hero by death
Hero by death
Hero by death
We shouldn't wait until tomorrow
Hail the greatness of today
We shouldn't wait for times of sorrow
Belated praise
Greatness of today
Greatness of today
Greatness of today
I never wait until tomorrow
I love the greatness of today
I never wait for times of sorrow
Listen what I say
When you think of all the great people that have died
The things they did, the way they lived their lives
Courage, honour and dignity
Leaving a mark in society
