1. Still Worth Fighting For
Freedom
And a chance for a better world
Freedom
Tonight
Freedom
And a chance for a better world
Freedom
Tonight
Everywhere you go there's someone
Trying to put you down
They'll rip you off for what you got
Even mug you for a pound
Violence like a cancer it's a prehistoric age
The more we have the more we want
In these 21st century days
There is no discipline or values anymore
Respect so long ago went out the door
The jungles full of animals with gold dust
In their eyes while the ghost of past
Generations shed a tear
Still there's something that's worth fighting for
Still there's something that's worth living for
Streets are full of psychopaths and weird
And savage beasts
The system looks the other way
While the maniacs run free
It seems we've lost all decency
Our spirit and our pride
Cause we're all in for ourselves
Who cares who lives or die
But if you try and make a stand
You won't get far
Cause they own the strong arm of the law
Money talks and money walks everybody's got a price
As long as someone out there's still prepared to pay
Still there's something that's worth fighting for
Still there's something that's worth living for
Freedom
And a chance for a better world
Freedom
Tonight
There is no discipline or values anymore
Respect so long ago went out the door
The jungles full of animals with gold dust
In their eyes while the ghost of past
Generations shed a tear
We try and bring our children up to learn
Whats right and wrong
We give them things we never had but
Still they come on strong
It seems the world 's a frightning place
If your growing up today
Cause no one listens anymore
To what you have to say
But if you try and make a stand
You won't get far
Cause they got the strong arm of the law
Money talks and money walks everybody's got a price
As long as someone out there's still prepared to pay
Still there's something that's worth fighting for
Still there's something that's worth living for
Freedom
And a chance for a better world
Freedom
Tonight
2. Everything Has Changed
They were fighting for their civil rights
We were raising hell on motorbikes
Then someone shouted anarchy
We all got up to dance
We answered revolutions call
Drove the politicians up the wall
But I guess we knew that it would end
When we outgrew the cause
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
The fashion thing was all the rage
With bristles studs and razor blades
Our parents thought that we were mad
We'd totally lost control
It was anti this and anti that
But still they fed us all that crap
About God the queen, the flag
It was still worth dying for
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Now we stand for king and queen
And all of life's desires
Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire
Now we sing God save the queen
With a lot more of tradition
We gladly stand and fall in line
And forget the things we'd written
The spirit I can still recall when I
Heard it in the record store
The songs that broke the barriers down
And gave us back our youth
Freedom was our battle cry
We swore we'd live or else we'd die
And change the world a little bit
While we still had the time
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Every generation comes of age
And settles for the same old ways
The rebel song is handed down to
New champions of the cause
But we always will remember when
Those magic days of us and them
Before we all grew up and moved away
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Now we stand for king and queen
And all of life's desires
Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire
Now we sing God save the queen
With a lot more of tradition
We gladly stand and fall in line
And forget the things we'd written
Everything has changed, nothing stays the same
Now we stand for king and queen
And all of life's desires
Two kids, a wife, surburbia and an XR3 on hire
Now we sing God save the queen
With a lot more of tradition
We gladly stand and fall in line
And forget, forget
3. Visions of the Future
I was looking for something just a sign
When I saw something moving in the sky
Seemed to start a reaction there was fire
Then the lightning it struck
And the flames got higher
I wanted to run
I wanted to hide
Something just seemed to take over my mind
I couldn't feel what was happening to me
Everything just getting out of control
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
Voices speaking to me
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought
Started seeing these pictures on the wall
It was the strangest of place, I'd never
Been before
Everything was so life like so real
In the temple o' knowledge
I felt no fear
A feeling of power ran through my veins
I was about to receive second sight
I couldn't explain why they gave it to me
Everything just getting out of control.
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
Voices speaking to me
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought
I wanted to run
I wanted to hide
Something just seemed to take over my mind
I couldn't feel what was happening to me
Everything just getting out of control
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
Voices speaking to me
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
4. Tell Me What You're Looking For
Standing in an empty room
Staring at the walls of gloom
Trying to fix my mind on some romantic place
Thinking of a different time
When music played and we drank wine
And freedom was a dream we shared together
If it's not black and it's not white
Won't you tell me what your looking for
If I'm not wrong and you're not right
Won't you tell me what your looking for.
I gave you all I had to give
Money to spend a place to live
But all you did was use me like a stepping stone
You only ever wanted me
To get you where you had to be
I took you in but then you went and let me down
If it's not black and it's not white
Won't you tell me what your looking for
If you're not wrong and I'm not right
Won't you tell me what your looking for.
You went the other way the bright
Lights held a fatal charm
You had to know what it's like
To ride out on the merry go round
You always loved the wealthy ways
Flashy cars and power craze
You'd sell your soul if it ment getting to the top
There's nothing that get's in your way
To vou life's just a game we play
We're all part of your outrageous master plan
If it's not black and it's not white
Won't you tell me what your looking for
If you're not wrong and I'm not right
Won't you tell me what your looking for.
5. Sacred Heart
I never promised you
It would last forever
We took it one day at a time
But when I held you close
I felt your desire
I saw the love that's in your eyes
Sacred heart don't you bleed
We got time on our side
We just can't let love slip away
Your all that I want
Your all that I need
I just can't let you go away
I know that you've been hurt
Let's face this thing together
Running away only makes things worse
I've been down that road before
Too many broken hearted
There's no easy ride but we'll get there
Sacred heart don't you bleed
We got time on our hands
We just can't let love slip away
Your all that I want
Your all that I need
I just can't let you go
All that I want is you
And I won't let you down
All that I want is you
And I'm not fooling around
Sacred heart don't you bleed
We got time on our side
We just can't let love slip away
Your all that I want
Your all that I need
I just can't let you go away
6. Crazy Town
This town it's got no soul,
She sleeps with one eye open
They don't like strangers here
So keep on passing through
And if you hear the sound of
Screaming after midnight be sure
You don't stray on the wrong side
Of the tracks, cause tonight there's
A party for those bad guys
Tonight all hell is breaking loose
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
This is the time of year we're cursed
By moonlight madness, and our obsessions
Lead to dancin' on the moor
We're trapped inside a web that's spun
Throughout creation, we act like
Animals awaiting for the kill
Cause tonight there's a party
For these bad guys
Tonight it's the creepy reaper's ball
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
We don't take prisoners here
We eat them all for breakfast
We like a hearty meal before we go to sleep
The rats can pick the bones while
We crawl back in our hell hole
And let the day decide what action
It will take
Cause tonight there's a party for
Those bad guys
Tonight all hell is breaking loose
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
7. Victim of His Time
Bring on the dancing girls
There's pink champagne on ice
He's so outrageous you gotta go
Just to see the show
Valentino had the looks
He also had the style
But this guys got everthing and more
Thats for sure
Play that song again, turn up the radio
Just sit back and watch I like the video
Just a victim of his time
A star that he wanted to be
A kinda magic so unique
His like again we'll never see
Just a victim of his time
A star that he wanted to be
A kinda magic so unique
His like again we'll never see
I love that rhapsody
It reminds me of a time
Bring back those memories to me
Like it used to be
The pleasure you gave to us
It just goes on and on
The music's so sweet like a vintage wine
Gets better all the time
Play that song again, turn up the radio
Just sit back and watch I like the video
Just a victim of his time
A star that he wanted to be
A kinda magic so unique
His like again we'll never see
Just a victim of his time
A star that he wanted to be
A kinda magic so unique
His like again we'll never see
See him there standing in the light
A showman to the world
Living out his royal reign in his own way
Strutting around in that style of his own
A prima donna to the crowds
A messenger from the gods
Sent to spread the word
Bring on the dancing girls
There's pink champagne on ice
He's so outrageous you gotta go
Just to see the show
Valentino had the looks
He also had the style
But this guys got everthing and more
Thats for sure
Play that song again, turn up the radio
Just sit back and watch I like the video
Just a victim of his time
A star that he wanted to be
A kinda magic so unique
His like again we'll never see
Just a victim of his time
A star that he wanted to be
A kinda magic so unique
His like again we'll never see
8. Million $ Ride
I don't want to talk to you
And tell you silly lies
But I've done things that'll turn your head
And make a grown man cry
I've danced down in the jungle to the
Pounding tribal beat
I was on the first manned space ship hiding
Underneath the seat
I washed my feet with royalty
Had a curry in Madras drank a 34 Dom Perignon
From a thousand year old glass
But you, made a fool out of me
You, (million dollar ride)
You made a fool out of me
You, (million dollar ride)
You only wanted money
You only wanted money
People call me genius had women kiss my feet
Seen the temple of Diana and I surfed on Bondi Beach
Played the Sydney opera house
Lit the flame for charriots of fire
I climbed the Himalayas cause you
Know there's nothing higher
Made love out in a penthouse
Underneath a New York sky
I gambled in Las Vegas
And man I bled them dry
But you, made a fool out of me
You, (million dollar ride)
You made a fool out of me
You, (million dollar ride)
You only wanted money
You only wanted money
I have searched for fortunes
Rode out on the glory trail
Been arrested in Vancouver
Let me out on bail
I played with Jimi Hendrix on the
Bill at the Isle Of White
I chauffeured for Madonna
World tour every night
I lived next door to Elvis in those
Very early days, before hound dog and blue swede shoes
We went our seperate ways
But you, made a fool out of me
You, (million dollar ride)
You made a fool out of me
You, (million dollar ride)
You only wanted money
You only wanted money
9. War Games
Sound the early warning
Now put on your mask
Get behind the heat shield
They got poison gas
Missile knows the time and place
War-head set to detonate
Attack - let's blow-out
Attack - we'll blow-out
All those moving pictures
All those deadly strikes
Man there's so much hi-tech
What's a few more lives
Let's go out and kick some ass
We got weapons of a different class
Attack - we'll blow-out
Attack - let's blow-out
It's all on fire
The flames get higher
It's all on fire
The flames get higher
War the game that we play
Anytime anyday
You can find us we're out there
On the front line
Fight our units the best
North, South, East and West
We're the meanest there's no one
That can touch us
Got your marching orders
Got your battle cry
This ain't no manoeuvres
Now it's man to man
This is what your trained to do
Now the rest is up to you
Attack let's blow-out
It's all on fire
The flames get higher
It's all on fire
The flames get higher
War the game that we play
Anytime anyday
You can find us we're out there
On the front line
Fight our units the best
North, South, East and West
We're the meanest there's no one
That can touch us
10. Soldier of Furtune
Searching for gold on another man's highway
Fixing the price of another day's pay
Stalking the streets like a hired assassin
Changing your side like the night turns to day
Do you ever care who's right or wrong
Are you just a hired hand who fights and feels no pain
Soldier of fortune dealer in life
Have you got no conscience were's your pride
Mercenary fighter out on the line
Your just a time bomb ticking inside
Leading the charge under cover of darkness
Blowing bridges in some South American state
Waiting for news of a new revolution
Catching a plane for some god forsaken place
Do you ever care who's right or wrong
Are you just a hired hand who fights and feels no pain
Soldier of fortune dealer in life
Have you got no conscience were's your pride
Mercenary fighter out on the line
Your just a time bomb ticking inside
Surviving the heat in a sweltering jungle
Freezing to death at the edge of the world
Squeezing your finger so tight on the trigger
With the keenest of eyes and the deadliest nerve
Do you ever care who's right or wrong
Do you ever care who's weak or strong
Do you ever care who's right or wrong
Are you just a hired hand who fights and feels no pain
Soldier of fortune dealer in life
Have you got no conscience were's your pride
Mercenary fighter out on the line
Your just a time bomb ticking inside
11. Visions of the Future II
Nazis on the march again
The left against the reich
Greed has left its legacy
The Gulf has got no light
Will you tell me who killed Kennedy
Even though we always knew
You lived the lie for all those years
Now what about the truth
Speak to me
I need a shelter from this crazy scene
I need to find peace and sanity
In this world
Cities made of mirrors
They're reflecting all our lives
Streets are plagued by zombies
Shaved head, no brain, mad eyes
Ageing politicians driving
Closer to the kerb
Power crazed evangelists
Making fortunes from the Word
Speak to me
I need a shelter from this crazy scene
I need to find peace and sanity
Machines to take us everywhere
From the future to the past
We can all be part of our own destiny
And if you wanna stay a while
You can see what we've become
Everything has changed
And one day you'll be there
Visions of love, visions of life,
Visions of something on the otherside
Assembly lines of human beings all systematically cloned
It wasn't long ago they called it fantasy
Suspended animation sees the return of the living dead
But you might not wake up where you dreamed you'd be
Visions of love, visions of life,
Visions of something from the otherside.
I wanted to run
I wanted to hide
Something just seemed to take over my mind
I couldn't feel what was happening to me
Everything just getting out of control
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
Voices speaking to me
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
Voices speaking to me
When the light came on I saw
Visions of the future
In the night I thought I heard
Voices speaking to me
12. Stop the Fire
You say that it's over
But the heartache's just begun
How can you justify all the things
We've done
I may be just part of your life
But to me it was everything
I gave you my heart and my all
For the memories in return
How can I make it now
When you've tore my world apart
Who's gonna get me through
Another broken heart
How can I stop the fire
When it's burning out of control
Who wants to walk the street
Of a town that's got no soul
I'll always want you
That's something I've gotta face
That sometimes it don't work out
And we all make mistakes
We couldn't live together
Most of the time
But I don't know how to go on
Without you for the rest of my life
How can I make it now
When you've tore my world apart
Who's gonna get me through
Another broken heart
How can I stop the fire
When it's burning out of control
Who wants to walk the street
Of a town that's got no soul
