1. We Are Motorhead
We shoot power to your heart, a mighty thunderbolt
We charge all batteries, we save your soul
We don't know when we're licked,
But we turn lead into gold
We know alchemy, we bring you rock and roll
We are the ones you love, or we're the ones you hate
We are the first and we just still might be the last
We are Motorhead - born to kick your ass
We bring the firestorm to brighten up your life
We mend all broken hearts, we cure all pain
We bring you attitude and razor teeth to bite
We bring machine gun law and we're the ones to blame
We are the ones you need, the ones that you despise
We are the ones who wanna poke you in the eye
We are the future, baby, used to be the past
We are Motorhead and we don't have no class...
We bring you UFOs, saucers in the sky
We shoot you full of noise, we aim to kill
We burn like motherfuckers, spit right in your eye
We fight authority, we glorify free will
We are the ones you heard of, but you never heard
We are electric prophets, here to twist the world
We are the flame at night, the fire in the trash
We are motorhead, we are motorhead
We are motorhead, we are motorhead
We are motorhead, we are motorhead
2. No Class
Shut up, you talk too loud,
You don't fit in with the crowd,
I can't believe you exist,
I've crossed you right off my list,
Too much, too soon,
You're way out of tune,
No Class, No Class
Way out, you're way out of line,
No buddy I can't spare a dime,
Fade out, baby that's right,
No bark and even less bite,
Your perfect smile,
Betrays your lack of style,
No Class, No Class
Ah No Class, No Class
Too late, you can't catch up now,
You face the wrong way anyhow,
I know you ain't got the brain,
To come in out of the rain,
Too bad, no magic,
I'm afraid you're merely tragic,
No Class, baby No Class
No Class, ah No Class
3. I'm So Bad (Baby I Don't Care)
I make love to mountain lions,
Sleep on red-hot branding irons,
When I walk the roadway shakes,
Bed's a mess of rattlesnakes,
Voodoo child, black cat bone,
Scratch your back,hear you moan,
I get up, you go down,
Tall building, single bound,
War and peace and love,
Say it if you dare,
Iron fist,velvet glove,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care,
Black-hearted to the bone,
Older than The Rolling Stones,
Been to heaven, been to hell,
Bought the farm, and I won't sell,
Give and take, rise and fall,
Rise up and take it all,
Secret love, I won't tell,
Knock you up and ring your bell,
Kiss the whip, eat the gun,
Tell me it ain't fair,
Midnight victim, hit and run,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care,
I make the blind to see,
Shoot 'em full of R and B,
I make the lame to walk,
Come round and pop your cork,
Wham, bam,thank you ma'am,
Thought I heard the back door slam,
Overkill, walk the line,
Kill the lights, It's lampshade time,
On the road,on the lam,
People running scared,
I'm everything they say
I'm,I'm so bad, baby I don't care.
4. Over Your Shoulder
We know all the words of power,
All about the witching hour,
We know the reason why you're scared,
And here comes your nightmare.
Over your shoulder honey, you don't wanna turn around,
Bring the night closer, we are gonna bring you down,
It's the times that we live in, erosion of the mind,
Easy to be cruel, Hard to be kind.
When the mode of music changes,
The walls around the city shakes,
Look into the face of danger,
We know how to make you break.
Over your shoulder honey, right behind your back,
Make you a true believer, maybe give you heart attack
We are what you made us, see what we can find,
Easy to be cruel, Hard to be kind.
We can't help the way we feel,
We don't want to make a deal,
Look out, honey, use your head,
Might be murder in your bed.
Over your shuolder honey, the face still shines,
Nobody you recognize, isn't yours, isn't mine,
See the mouth smiling, make the words rhyme,
Easy to be cruel, Hard to be kind.
5. Civil War
White noise is coming
The wolf at your door
Do you hear the drummin'?
Outside your window
Outside your window
Civil war, civil war
All your yesterdays gone before
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?
Soldiers of Fortune
The traitor within
Blood on the pale moon
Outside your window, outside your window
Children learn to kill
Bet your ass you'll pay the bill
Season of the dog
The dollar takes the place of God
Death laughs in your face
Anarchy will take your place
You give all your children guns
See what you have done
Backlash coming soon
Joker gonna call the tune
Your children are learning
You teach them to hate
Your cities are burning
Outside your window
Outside your window
6. Metropolis
Metropolis, the worlds collide,
Ain't nobody could be on your side,
I don't care, I don't care
Metropolis is something new,
Ain't nobody got their eye on you,
I don't care, it's nowhere
Metropolis, the worlds collide,
Ain't nobody on the other side,
I don't care, I'm not there.
7. Overnight Sensation
I know you're only talking
To keep the silence out
Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt
You're just handing out bad reputations
Why don't you shut your mouth
Overnight sensation,
All mouth and no soul
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
I know I ain't no beauty
But I know who I am
I ain't running for sheriff
I ain't that kind of man
To live outside the law , my dear
You gotta give a damn
Overnight sensation
You be shot full of holes
The bad boys stole your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
You know you put the hurt on me
You do it all the same
Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all
Our faces fit the frame
You know I'm only talking
To keep you here with me
Maybe you should listen
How hard could it be
Good manners don't cost nothing
But that ain't what you want from me
Overnight sensation
Turn your hard heart cold
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
You're just looking for someone
To take your spirit home
The bad boys sold your franchise, baby
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
8. God Save The Queen
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the queen
She aint no human being
There is no future
In england's dreaming
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told whatyou need
there's no future no future
no future for you
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
'Cos tourists are money
Our figures head
Is not what she seems
Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid
When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future you're future
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In england's dreaming
No future,no future
No future for you
No future,no future
No future for me
No future,no future
No future for you
No future,no future
No future for you
No future
No future for you
9. Born To Raise Hell
Listen up here, I´ll make it quite clear
I´m gonna put some boogie in your ear
Shake and bop, don´t you stop
Dance like a maniac until you drop
I don´t mind, I don´t mind
I can run a razor right up your spine
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for
Show us you care, show us you dare
You don´t know what happened, not if you weren´t there
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Voodoo medicine, cast my spell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Play that guitar just like ringin´ a bell
Take it or leave it
Going for broke, rock till you choke
It don´t matter if you drink or smoke
Speak through the beat, get up on your feet
Sweating like a hound dog, white as a sheet
Don´t you be scared, don´t you be scared
Everybody terrified, I don´t seem fair
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for
Out of your seat, blind in the heat
Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet
10. The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
You know I'm bad, the times I've had,
I've got a bad reputation,
I don't care, I get my share,
Don't feel no deprivation,
The more I get the better it is,
I like it fine, like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
Silver tounged devil, demon lech,
You know just what I'm doing,
I like a little innocent bitch,
You know I ain't just screwing,
I love you baby, love you too much,
I like it fine, I feel your touch,
But your appearance don't hold no class,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
A little beauty, I love you madly,
Come on home with me,
I know you're hot, I know what you've got,
You know I want to shake your tree,
Come on honey, touch me right there,
Come on honey, don't you get scared,
Come on honey, let me get you in the sack,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch
All right! Let me hear ya!
I can't hear ya!
11. Stay Out Of Jail
Still watching the sky
We ain't sure of you yet
New in town, been around
Heartbreaker for sure
Maybe running from the law
Just passing the time
Just moving down the line
Not time to fall, no time to fail
No time for anything at all
Stay out of jail...
Still facing the door
Just watching the street
City born, ripped and torn
Still turning tricks
Enough to make you sick
Just passing the buck
You might be real bad luck
Not time to fall, no time to fail
No time for anything at all
Stay out of jail...
Can't see you right now
We ain't got the time
Bad news, stand accused
A fool in drag, got your nose in a bag
Whacked out of your head
Y'all remember what I said
No time to fix
No time to bail
No time for one last call
Stay out of jail...
12. Dead Men Tell No Tails
This is it!
Breaking up or breaking through,
Breaking something's all we ever do,
Shoot straight, travel far,
Stone crazy's all we ever are,
But I don't care for lies,
And I won't tell you twice,
Because when all else fails,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
Shooting up away and back,
A bit of guts is all that you lack,
Far behind the stable door,
I know you've met that horse before,
But I don't care for sky,
And this sure ain't no lie,
At the end of all the tracks and trails,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
You used to be my friend,
But that friendship's coming to an end,
My meaning must be clear,
You know pity is all that you hear,
But if you're doing smack,
You won't be coming back,
I ain't the one to make your bail,
Dead Men Tell No Tales
13. You Better Run
I got no reason, to lie to you
What´s in the cards, that´s what I do
I was born a-running & laughing out loud
With my feet on the ground & my head in the clouds
You better run, oh baby you better run
I got a blade like lightning, silver bullets in my gun
I´m short & I´m tall, I´m black & I´m white
Sometimes I be wrong, sometimes I be right
I´m iron & steel, I´m bad to the bone
You come looking for trouble, honey don´t you come alone
I seen ´em come, & I seen ´em go,
I seen things & been people, that nobody knows
I´m talking in pictures and I´m painting them black,
I seen Satan coming honey in a big black Cadillac
14. Sacrifice
Why do they not believe
I have not lied, even for this,
Now no-one can conceive
The lie becomes the loving kiss,
But I would not,
Fall in love,
Like this.
The woman stiches the shrouds,
The children murder all the world,
If only you believe,
Then only you will die,
How can you not,
See the stars,
In your eyes.
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice,
Sacrifice, pay the price, blood like ice, sacrifice.
The pain is on you now,
Do not consider flight for gain,
In you the poison breeds,
Crawling with the mark of Cain,
And no-one shall,
Set you free,
Again.
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice,
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice
15. Orgasmatron
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.
16. Going To Brazil
Here we go again, on a 747,
Looking at the clouds from the other side of heaven,
Smoking & drinking, never gonna stop,
Reading magazines, stop me looking at the clock,
Wanna watch the movie, can´t keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,
Watching all the roadcrew attacking little girls,
Joined the mile high club, goin´ round the world,
All the booze is free, airline going broke,
Here come the lady with another jack and coke,
Wanna watch the movie, can´t keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,
Steve, Clem, Hobbsy, John, Crazy Dil & Pappy,
Had to travel second class, they ain´t too fucking happy,
Elevator music, butter in my ears,
Think we´re gonna die, just the pilot changing gear,
Wanna watch the movie, can´t sit still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil.
17. Broken
You don't know the trouble you're in
Linvin' in paradise, livin' in sin
You better watch out baby one of these days
Another man coming gonna change your ways
Broken, broken truth must be spoken
Can we be responsible, is someone keeping score
Broken, broken when all guns are smoking
Do you want to die then, according to the law
Sunshine, moonshine, fire & flood
Death come hungry to your neighbourhood
You better watch out baby, one of these nights
Somebody coming to shoot out your lights
Broken, broken, lies will be spoken
Must we be expendable, is that what we are for
Broken, broken, when all doors are closing
Shall we say good-bye then, according to the law
You better move baby cut & run
Better get back to where you come from
You better watch out baby, stay in line
You're gonna lose out to a life of crime
Broken, broken, swear I ain't jokin'
Is nothing sacred, no lovers anymore
Broken, broken, when virgins are chosen
Then who will choose you according to the law
Broken, broken truth must be spoken
Too late to be virgins, too early to be whores
Broken, broken when all guns are smokin'
Then you must be silent, according to the law.
18. Damage Case
Hey babe don't act so scared
All I want is some special care
I'm on the run from some institution
All I want's a little consolation
And I can tell by your face
I'm a total disgrace
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case
Hey babe wait a minute stop
Don't run away don't call the cops
I ain't looking to victimise you
All I want to do is tantalise you
And I can tell by your face
I'm all over the place
I can tell by your face
Got no time for a Damage Case
Hey babe don't turn away
I'm here tomorrow I'm gone today
I don't even care what you think your game is
I don't even care what your name is
And I can tell by your face
You're all over the place
Let me inside your place
Move over for a Damage Case
19. Iron Fist
Dark night nothing to see
Invisible hand in front of me
Scared to death there´s someone near
Scared to move but you can´t stay here
You know me, evil eye
You know me, prepare to die
You know me, the snakebite kiss
Devil´s grip, the Iron Fist
Flying horse don´t make a sound
Flying hooves don´t touch the ground
Walk in circle lose you track
Can´t go on but you can´t go back
You know me
Moon eclipse and you know why
Ghost rider in the sky
Beast of evil devil´s hound
Tooth and claw they pull you down
You know me
20. Killed By Death
If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you
I'm a romantic adventure
And I'm a reptile too
[CHORUS:]
But it don't make no difference
'cos I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I'm easy's when I'm
Killed by death *4
I'm a lone wolf ligger
But I ain't no pretty boy
I'm a backbone shiver
and I'm a bundle of joy
[CHORUS]
But it don't make no difference
'cos I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I'm easy's when I'm
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
21. Bomber
Ain't a hope in hell
Nothin' gonna bring us down
The way we fly
Five miles off the ground
Because, we shoot to kill
And you know we always will
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
Scream a thousand miles
Feel the black death rising moan
Firestorm coming closer
Napalm to the bone
Because, you know we do it right
A mission every night
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
No nightfighter
Gonna stop us getting through
Sirens make you shiver
You bet my aim is true
Because, we aim to please
Bring you to your knees
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
It's a Bomber
22. Ace Of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
23. Overkill
