1. Sex and Death
Here we are still fighting
fighting for our lives!
Danger in the trenches
but we still survive!
We know who we are!
We know who we are!
We remember every move
(We still bear the scars!)
Don't look for maturity-
don't you even dare!
We are our own security,
and we don't even care!
We know what we do!
We know what we do!
We do what we must
(and we admire our attitude!)
Be damned, if you can't handle it,
(We) hope you break your neck-
Sex and Death!
Show 'em your guitar!
[guitar solo]
Here we are in trouble,
comin' every day
Slaughter in the alley?
(that would) make our bleedin' day!
We know all the rules!
We know all the rules!
We know more than you would like-
(cuz) we ain't in your school!
We are tired of you now-
we are sick and tired!
We are tired of hearing you
say we should be quiet!
You ain't worth our time!
You ain't worth our time!
You ain't worth a nickel, babe-
you ain't worth a dime!
We ain't gonna give it up
as long as we got breath:
Sex and Death!!
The answer to life's mystery
is simple and direct:
Sex and Death!
Runnin' down the highway
and we ain't tired yet:
Sex and Death!
Sex and Death!!!
2. Crazy Like a Fox
Babe you're dressed to kill tonight
I get ahead of myself
If you knew what you do to me
You'll be with someone else
Jump back, be cool, you make me feel
Like I'm back at school
Make me crazy, crazy for you
Oh you make me hot
Come on, show me what you got
You're moving slow, baby don't say no
You move like a rattlesnake
And I can't stand no more, oh babe
You're gonna wreck my mind
And I hope you do it all the time
You better give it your best shot
You know I'm crazy, crazy like a fox
Don't you turn your back on me
You just make it worse
You look just as beautiful
When you're movin' in reverse
Come on, be nice, oh babe
You're gonna wreck my life
Make me crazy, make me jump all night
Oh you make me die
When I look into your eyes
I'm moving in, I'm coming through
You must be an earthquake
'Cause I'm shaking in my shoes
You're gonna wreck my mind
And I hope you do it all the time
I love you're body 'cause it rocks
You make me crazy, crazy like a fox
Come on honey, take my hand
'Cause we're out of here
I'm gonna take you home with me
I'm gonna whisper in your ear
Come on, make it quick
Oh, mama, hit me with your rhythm stick
It's magic time
But I don't play no tricks
Oh baby come on
You know I want to get it on
You must be a guitar player
The way you're stringing me along
Oh babe, you're gonna wreck my mind
And I hope you do it all the time
I'm gonna knock you out of your socks
You make me crazy, crazy like a fox
You've been doin' it all the time
You know I love you, love you lots
Crazy like a fox
You're gonna wreck my mind
I hope you do it all the time
3. Civil War
White noise is coming
The wolf at your door
Do you hear the drummin'?
Outside your window
Outside your window
[chorus:]
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
[chorus:]
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
[chorus:]
Your children are learning
You teach them to hate
Your cities are burning
Outside your window
Outside your window
4. Order/Fade to Black
(Yes) Bad blood, (yes) black night, (My God, yes) all the world,
(Yes) Red mouth (yes) insane (yes, My God) Order,
(See) Firestorm (see) black death, (do you see) burning there,
(Yes) Red smile (yes) white noise, fade to black, nobody cares.
Wake up now, try to run, howling pain, burning sun, creep
and crawl, hiding place, out of breath, turn your face,
Evil grins, at the sight, tendon snap, red tonight,
Black inside, cancer grown, in your skin, in your bone,
(Now) White face, (now) red hands (iron stake) everywhere,
(Now) Chrome spikes (now) insane, (burning me) order,
(Now) Sleeping (now) teeth grin, (audience) all eyes stare,
(Now) Waliking (now) dying, fade to black, nobody cares.
Push the door locked and barred, gone away, gone to far,
Finger crawl, after you, freezing touch, stick like glue,
Could embrace, stranglehold, lost the race, oh so cold,
Red in here, bright knife hack, white noise, fade to black.
(Yes) Red pain, (yes) red blood, (sinking down) black despair,
(So) White bone, (yes) insane, (do youe see) order,
(All) Screaming, (now) silent (God is love) say your prayers
5. Dog Face Boy
Big-time, poor boy, out your pain again,
Jet plane, outside looking for another friend,
O my, look out, give it up, twist and shout,
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Werewolf Hero, Pride and Joy,
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Canine weirdo, Dog-Face Boy.
Get down, damn straight, fall out, night and day,
No class, uptight, where you gonna stay,
Shoot straight, home base, get down, win the race.
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Werewolf Hero, Pride and Joy,
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Wolfman zero, Dog-Face Boy.
Stay out, gone home, right on make it back,
Get down, be still, make it up, heart attack,
Do right, main squeeze, back down on your knees.
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Werewolf Hero, Pride and Joy,
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, full moon weirdo, Dog-Face Boy.
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Werewolf Hero, Pride and Joy,
Dog-face boy, Dog-Face Boy, Wolfman zero, Dog-Face Boy.
6. 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
[chorus:]
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
[chorus:]
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
[chorus:]
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
7. Them Not Me
Did you see the accident, the road is red with blood
Funny how it makes you feel really, really good
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
'Zactly like I knew it would
I can't help it everytime anybody dies
I can't help it if it brings a sparkle to my eyes
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Every time a nice surprise
Them not me, them, not me,
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Streets are like a slaughterhouse, turn right on the red
Here come pedestrians, night of living dead
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Guess they should have stood in bed
Them not me, them, not me
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
When I see those flashing lights & hear those sirens moan
See the smile on my face, I grab my mobile phone
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Murder in the Twighlight Zone
Them not me, them, not me
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Them not me, them, not me
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Them, not me
8. In Another Time
So, Here we are in the years,
All the past is a dream,
Can't believe that I'm here,
Now, Seems so hard to recall,
Did it happen that way, Did it happen at all,
Here we are, win or lose, good and bad, fast and lose,
Here we are, black and gold, In another time.
Dust, on a mirror turned black,
The refection is flawed, all the mirrors are cracked,
Strange how the glass seems to sing,
But the words are like death, they could be anything,
Here we are, win or draw, badly used, badly scored,
Here we are, gone before, In another time.
Look through the eyes of the mask,
Tell me what do you see, can you make out the facts
Could in the arms of the dead,
I still hear them talk, telling jokes in my head,
Here we are before the dawn, cold and black, death and scorn,
Here they are, lust and grief, to oversee the crime,
In the days before the plague, Never spoke, eyes like blades,
Here and Now, Fear and grief, In another time
9. Out of the Sun
The wind is cold where I live,
The blizzard is my home,
Snow and ice and loaded dice, the Wizard lives alone,
The wind is cold where I live, whie and cold, and clean,
White and cold and bought and sold and heartbreak in between,
And so we shall see what is done and done and done.
Trees are stone where I live, leaves of razor steel,
High and low and ice and snow, broken on the wheel,
Trees are stone where I live, flowers made of glass,
Cold and white and wrong and right and voices from the past.
And all our yesterdays are now undone.
Out of the sun
Frozen and insane, I alone remain,
Held in the vice of my disdain,
There is now way that anyone will ever,
Make me warm again.
Life is death where I live, frozen grin my smile,
Sun is moon and out of tune, broken strings and bile,
Death is life where I live, hearts turned into stone,
Frozen breath, and froze death and prisons made of bone.
And so we shall see what become's become,
Out of the sun.
10. Listen to your Heart
Here we are, about to blow a fuse
Hold it down, 'cause if you move you lose
Give me time, I need to make mistakes
Give me love, before my poor heart breaks
Listen to your heart, Listen all your life
Listen to your hear, and then you'll be alright
Don't you see, the truth is always close
Eyes are wide, just like you seen a ghost
Give me hope, 'cause I was never sure
Give me faith, 'cause I was never yours
Listen to your heart, Listen all your life
Look into my eyes, before you say good-bye
Raise your hand, if you deserve the blame
If you can, them you won't die ashamed
Give me strength, so I can make a stand
Give me light, so I can show my hand
Look me in the eyes
Before we say good-bye
Tell me the truth or die
and then you'll be alright
