1. Fuel For The Fire
Fight
Stand up and fight
Fight for your right
Kill
In for the kill
Do what you will
Attack
Stabbed in the back
The whip starts to crack
Revenge
Oh, sweet revenge
Time to avenge
Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire
Boiling blood and fire
Gasoline to a flame
I'm just a live wire
Don't you know it's not a game?
It's not a game
Go
Go for the throat
Stand back and gloat
Hate
Deep rooted hate
When the anger is great
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Feed the flame
Feed the flame
2. Keep It Up
Stand at attention, be a masculine man
Keep on going for as long as you can
All it takes is just one little pill
Last all night and get your fill
Chorus:
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Unending pleasure, a woman's delight
Unbending treasure that lasts all night
All it takes is just one little pill
Every night you can get a thrill
-Chorus-
Ow!
-Chorus-
Enhancing performance in a drug induced way
The modern world where the adults play
All it takes is just one little pill
If you haven't got it, you soon will
-Chorus 2X-
3. Song Of Pain
Once bit, twice shy
Just the average kind of guy
Loved and lost felt the pain
The need to start all over again
Heart broken, on the mend
The loss of that special friend
The look and feel of despair
War and love where it's all fair
You just want a place to hide, (place to hide)
Don't show the hurt you feel inside
Keep your feelings bottled up, (bottled up)
An abandoned ship you won't give up
Sing me a love song
Song of pain
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
They're one in the same, yeah
Started young and innocent
All the good times that were spent
Soft caress and sweet perfume
A hopeless love on it's way to doom
In time you grow apart
Feel the anguish of a broken heart
Caught in a love that didn't last
Cleanse yourself of the past
You just have to let it go, (let it go)
Try not to let your feelings show
You don't know where you went wrong, (where you went wrong)
Experience will make you strong
A love song
Song of pain
Sing me a love song
A song of pain, (sing a song of love)
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
Song of pain
Time passes, your heart grows cold
To the echo of the old
In with the new, on to the next
Love can be so complex
Once bit, twice shy
Just the average kind of guy
Loved and lost, felt the pain
The need to start all over again
You just have to let it go, (let it go)
Find someone new and let love grow
Seize the moment, don't take too long, (don't take too long)
Experience will make you strong
Sing me a love song
A song of pain
Sing me a love song
Extinguish the flame, (sing a song of love)
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
A song of pain, (sing a song of love)
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
Relinquish the blame
4. You Get What You Pay For
Something for nothing, a bargain, a steal
Used cars on credit card, lost another wheel
I'd like to get it for free
It's what the price should be
I just wanna pay less
I just have to confess
Quality and value, always wanting more
Tip my hat to the taxman, the revenue does poor
You get what you pay for
Cheap and stingy may have its own way
There's a lesson to be learned from being this way
You get nothing for free
You gotta let it be
You know you can't ignore
When you know the score
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
Get what you pay for
Nothing for nothing is the golden rule
Suckers born everyday, don't be left a fool
You get nothing for free
You get to pay the fee
You know you can't ignore
When you know the score
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
5. The Chainsaw
Murdering wilderness teaming with life
Cold blooded killers armed with mechanized knife
Razor sharp blades slicing limb from limb
When the motor is revving, let the cutting begin
Tooth picks from logs or pulp and paper
Raping a harvest, stealing from nature
Ravaging hillsides until nothing remains
Depleting oxygen, an industries pains
The chainsaw
At the core an industry
That makes its money from society
Give the people what they need
Take a forest, plant a seed
Slice and dice, chemically treat
Over and over it will repeat
Oak, maple, birch, and pine
The receding of the forest line
The chain of blades do spin round
Taking trees to the ground
Deadly cost to environment
Watch just where your money's spent
Supply demand is on the rise
Self destruction in disguise
Blades of steel that never stop
The cutting of another crop
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
-Verse 1-
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
6. Can't Catch Me
When you are a cheat, you will be beat, self defeat
If you're unaware, you best take care, life's not fair
Take control of your very soul
I hope you know what I mean
Don't get caught in the act behind your lovers back then deny the fact
When your hands in the jar, wish upon a star, you won't get far
Every soul has self control
You should know what I mean
Chorus:
Can't catch me, can't catch me, can't catch me foolin around
Can't catch me, can't catch me, can't catch me when my pants are down
When you think you're cool
And you've been found a fool
Don't blame me
Take my advice, don't think twice, you will suffice
Consequence, has no defense, you'll have to pay the price
Taking heed of your manly need
You know just what I mean
-Chorus 2X-
7. Go Away
Everyone's a critic, opinions are for free
The only one that matters is the one that belongs to me
I used to be gullible, innocent, naïve
All the things I've seen and heard I can't believe
Chorus:
Lies, I hear everyday
Lies, I don't know what to say
Go away
Go away
Narrow minded, jaded, get too loud a voice
Freedom of the press and the freedom of choice
I used to be a believer in what I'd seen and read
I wish I knew the real truth, not the bullshit been fed
-Chorus-
The innocent stay uninformed, go on what they've heard
Take belief in anything, no matter how absurd
Lambs to the slaughter, victims of crime
Lost in a paper jungle 'til the end of time
-Chorus-
8. Bottom Feeder
Well alright!
Living off the money of misery
It's a dog eat dog mentality
The corporate world is a pocket bleeder
Better watch out for the bottom feeder
Chorus:
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder
Yeah!
Rob you blind just to make a buck
Kick you hard when you're down on your luck
The whole damn world is a money eater
Watch out for the bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
-Chorus-
Hold on to your cash
A stock market crash
You better hide, hide your stash
Yeah!
Squeezing blood from the proverbial stone
Paying it off when your life's on loan
A card game with a cheater
Better watch out for the bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
-Chorus-
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
9. Cruel World
I was searching for tomorrow
Waiting for the sun to shine
In a cloak of deepest sorrow
Now forever 'til the end of time
A glimmer of hope, a light to follow
I'm just waiting for my time
To break through, make it to
Just where I want to be
Winding roads and false pretences
On deafened ears I make my plea
Signed in blood, I've lost my senses
Chorus:
Won't someone rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Confuse you, defuse you
Don't take the pride from me
Abuse you, refuse you
-Chorus-
I'm still searching for tomorrow
Waiting for the sun to rise
Living off the time I borrowed
Even after the countless tries
Fulfilled hopes, a light to follow
Unrelented 'til the day I die
Stop the pain, live again
Spare me from this agony
Rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
10. Fast Driver
Just one shot of nitrous, I'll leave you in the dust
Peddles to the metal, feel the engine thrust
The power of a monster raging under the hood
The sheer lust of power makes me feel so good
Chorus:
Fast driver, pass you on the curve
Fast driver, the power and the nerve
Low riding tires grip the road like glue
Hair pin corners, a breeze to get through
Five speed tranny and overhead cam
When the cops see me comin' they learn just who I am
-Chorus-
Fast driver, foot made of lead
Fast driver, wearing down the tread
Car race, on your mark get set go
Keeping the pace fast not slow
Car race, on your mark get set go
No time to waste, let's go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Burning up the pavement, leave a trail of black
The smell of burnt rubber, I won't be comin' back
Fast as a bullet fired from a gun
Getting home alive is a race I've won
-Chorus-
Fast driver, foot made of lead
Fast driver, wearing down the tread
-Chorus-
