1. Commercial Dynamite
Just to compete was once the prize
Now mega bucks are in their eyes
We light the torch then stand our ground
Money makes the world go round
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
What price your chariots of fire
Where's your spirit and burning desire?
My God is that what you earn?
Bionic Kid I gues I'm too old to learn
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Now in my day all men were men
And stereoids were something not invented then
With pride and honour true grit and sweat
You could put down your money and make your bet
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Wanna play with the big boys son?
I can manage your account
So go have some fun
Jump when I tell you
Win when I say
And we can have a hell of a big pay day
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
Commercial dynamite
2. Taking the World by Storm
Don't run something's happening on the streets tonight
The fight it's not over but we've seen the light
The roar of the jungle
The gleam of a switchblade
Victims in the night
We hold the balance
The key to the city
The scales of wrong and right
We made our name on the streets of America
Standing for liberty
Angels of destiny
This time we're taking the world by storm
It's time the battle's won
This time we're taking the world by storm
It's time the battle's won
In the heat a shot rings out the heardt beats wild
In the dark there's a cry for help on the downtown side
We served out time in the badlands of Paradise
The strip joints and the bars
It's tough on the beat but we're here to protect you
The people's National Guard
We made our name on the streets of America
Standing for liberty
Angels of destiny
One day we'll take our place in the hall of fame
And like the West we'll leave our mark
When we rule the plain
The roar of the jungle
The gleam of a switchblade
Victims in the night
We hold the balance
The key to the city
The scales of wrong and right
We made our name on the streets of America
Standing for liberty
Angels of destiny
This time we're taking the world by storm
It's time the battle's won
This time we're taking the world by storm
It's time the battle's won
3. The Life Brigade
There's a kid down in the underground
Waging psychedelic war
While a call girl checks a guy's credit card
On a midnight crawl
There's a boy with a laser eye
Shooting the neon sky
It's an electric age
The terraces dance to the tune of the camera
It's a hooligan's faze
Here we come the life brigade
Watch out for the life brigade
The race is on for Africa
Can we save the poor?
The preachers buy up network time
It's all in God's cause
The world sang a song for Nelson Mandela
What a birthday show
The faces were smiling on acid house music
What a way to go
Here we come the life brigade
Watch out for the life brigade
Do you know just what you're looking for?
When the wind blows in an age of change
The closeness that we once knew and held so dear
Seems so distant now in a cold world of greed
Hitler's in the Sunday Sport
An alien from World War Three
Ronnie Reagan's out to graze
It's the cowboy's final scene
The wrappers are wrappin'
Plastic is flashin'
Another rent boy's caused a stink
It's a ghetto blaster
Not a major disaster
It's just the way a generation thinks
Here we come the life brigade
Watch out for the life brigade
4. Remembrance Day (A Song for Peace)
Everywhere they gathered on that day
Poppies worn with pride
And in a land torn apart by hate
People came to pray
It was a time of hope, a time of peace
A time for a change
But in a moment all was raised to the ground
Could it ever be the same?
Some mother's son or daughter lay in wait
And blew some mother's child away
And every dream we dream
We have to pay the price
In God's name what have we become?
On Remembrance Day
On Remembrance Day
Through the hell a father dug with his bare hands
Still standing firm in his belief
He asked forgiveness for the one who'd taken life
I'm sure I heard the heavens cry
And as the grey reality of violence leaves its scar
The pictures tell their stories more than words
A sense of survival might teach us all we know
But there's another way for voices to be heard
Some mother's son or daughter lay in wait
And blew some mother's child away
And every dream we dream
We have to pay the price
In God's name what have we become?
On Remembrance Day
On Remembrance Day
I pray they find a peace
In a great and proud land
Where their sons and daughters
Will walk hand in hand
And all the hearts will beat
To the sound of one drum
When the streets no more
Echo the gun
5. What Do You Think About Hell?
Everywhere you're lookin'
But there's no place to hide
The strain on your face
You're on the downward side
The hands you crushed
On the way to the top
Smiling faces
As you face the drop
You're here at last
Won't you please come inside
What do you think about hell
The knife in your back
Only pays the debt
Now the vultures have gathered
For a pound of flesh
The countdown starts
Enjoy your last breath
You've been programmed
For the lingering death
Time to own up
It's the reader's reward
What do you think about hell
Dante's dream has come of age
And now we know
Did you think throughout your days
You'd get this low
The night marks new reality
And you can't wake
You had the chance to change the course
Now meet your fate
The hands you crushed
On the way to the top
Smiling faces
As you face the drop
You're here at last
Won't you please come inside
What do you think about hell
Dante's dream has come of age
And now you know
Did you think throughout your days
You'd get this low
Hell
Dante's dream has come of age
And now we know
Did you think throughout your days
You'd get this low
The night marks new reality
And you can't wake
You had the chance to change the course
Now meet your fate
Hell
6. Blue Skies in Red Square
Would you come and walk with me
Would you let me call you friend
We can stand out in the sunshine
Now the cold war's at an end
I can see behind the curtain
That you're really just like me
And comrade you just wanna live in peace
Well so do we
The ghosts of Lenin and of Kennedy were here
The world was waiting for a sign
And all around us, north and south and east and west
This was a new age for mankind
Now there's blue skies in Red Square
People dancin' everywhere
Now there's blue skies in Red Square
Children singin' everywhere
How I feel at home in Moscow
Just like London or New York
And at last we can communicate
Now we must learn to talk
I can see the flame of Glasnost
See it burning everywhere
And when your walls come tumbling down
We'll ossak in Times Square
The ghosts of Lenin and of Kennedy were here
The world was waiting for a sign
And all around us, north and south and east and west
This was a new age for mankind
Now there's blue skies in Red Square
People dancin' everywhere
Now there's blue skies in Red Square
Children singin' everywhere
Would you come and walk with me
Would you let me call you friend
We can stand out in the sunshine
Now the cold war's at an end
I can see behind the curtain
That you're really just like me
And comrade you just wanna live in peace
Well so do we
The ghosts of Lenin and of Kennedy were here
The world was waiting for a sign
And all around us, north and south and east and west
This was a new age for mankind
Now there's blue skies in Red Square
People dancin' everywhere
Now there's blue skies in Red Square
Children singin' everywhere
7. Time Has Come
Just a pair of dreamers
You and me against the world
Writing all those magic lines
No one ever heard
Riding all the storms together
Reaching out to see
Dreaming of a new tomorrow
Didn't we
Two kids from the back street
We were searching for the rainbow's end
Riding on the wheels of fortune
You and me my friend
Taking all the highs and lows
With a spirit that could tear down walls
We learned to run
To be free
We gave it all
Oh, now the race is run
Gotta to take it on for you
See the journey through
Tonight, out there I hear the call
I know that my time has come
We sail against the odds
And all the world will know
Feel the warmth of the sun that shines in my face
Take away the mask
The time has come
Painting all life's pictures
Well you know at least we tried
And though the years have left their mark
We're still the same inside
Forever in those empty rooms
Still the dream lives on
And someone else will sing our song
When we're gone
I guess we never sold out
So we were never really in
I wouldn't change the way it was
Or the places I have been
Just to have the chance to say
All the things I never said before
We learned to grow
To be free
We did it all
Oh, you took me by surprise
Gotta take it on for you
See the journey through
Tonight, out there I hear the call
I know that my time has come
We sail against the odds
And all the world will know
Feel the warmth of the sun that shines in my face
Take away the mask
The time has come
