1. We're Not Gonna Take It
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
We've got the right to choose and there ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just, don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
Oh, you're so condescending, your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing, from you
Your life is trite and jaded, boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do
Oh
Oh
We're right, yeah
We're free, yeah
We'll fight, yeah
You'll see, yeah

Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say, "no!"

There's only one thing I can say to you
I wanna rock! (rock)

There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the power up
I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so, let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather do

3. The Price
How long I have wanted this dream to come true
And as it approaches, I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh, how I've tried
For a life, yes a life, I thought I knew
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
Time seems to have frozen but the mind can be fooled
As the days pass I discover, destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times, oh, hard times
For the prize, yes the prize, I thought I knew
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
Solo - Eddie
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
4. Leader of the Pack
Hey, is he really goin' out with her?
There he is, let's ask him
Hey man, is that your ring she's wearin'?
Uh huh
Man, it must be great ridin' with her
Are you pickin' her up after school today?
Uh huh
By the way, where'd you meet her?
I met her at the candy store
She turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture?
Yeah, we see
That's when she fell for
The leader of the pack
Her folks were always putting me down (down, down)
They said I came from the wrong side of town (they said he came from the wrong side of town)
They told her that I was bad but she knew I was sad
That's why she fell for
The leader of the pack
One day her dad said find someone new (new, new)
She had to tell me that we were through (? you better go find somebody new)
I stood there and asked her why but all she could do was cry
"I'm sorry I hurt you"
The leader of the pack
She was so small
As she kissed me goodbye her tears were beginning to show
And as she drove away on that rainy night I begged her to go slow
If she heard I'll never know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
The gang they all stop and stare, I can't hide my tears but I don't care
I'll never forget her
The leader of the pack
Leader of the pack
And now she's gone (repeat 11 times)
5. You Can't Stop Rock & Roll
Here it comes, you're never gonna top it
On a run, no way you can stop it
Total style, perfection in decay
Running wild, flat out all the way
CHORUS:
Now you can ride it high
And you can light the way
Lift up your hands in praise
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
Like a charging bull, it's a juggernaut
With steam at full, never to be caught
Incarnate power, roaring from the sky
While other cower, rock ain't gonna die
REPEAT CHORUS
Ow
It's an angry steed, on a never ending course
With grace and speed, it's an unrelenting force
His head thrown back, defiantly proud
Under constant attack, it's blasting, fast and loud
REPEAT CHORUS
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop, you can't stop it
Ow
6. Stay Hungry
Are you feeling the fire, are you ready to explode?
Are your dreams and desires riding down an open road?
I'm like a runaway, a heart without a home
Others can laugh and play
I'll fight for every inch I take, I'm desperate to the bone
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
Be the hunter and the hunted, keep your target in your sight
Don't be side tracked or shunted, let pretenders feel your bite
And if you start to slide never show you're weak
Don't feel you've got to hide
Remember what you're fighting for, remember what you seek
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
Alright
Solo - Jay Jay
If your fire is faded and you can't feel it no more
If you're tired and overrated, let me show you to the door
Expect no sympathy, there's none to be had
Open your eyes and see
There's no room for the wannabees, the has beens or the bad
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
7. Bad Boys (Of Rock & Roll)
All right!
So we look kind of weird to you, well, how do you look to me?
How cool you sit there and sneer all through the night, don't you like what you see?
What are you thinking, what will you do when you get your chance to display
All the hang ups inside of you, well, we don't care what you say
CHORUS:
We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?
So you say we're offending you, what's wrong is it something we said?
Look at you squirm, hey you're sweating too, at least now I know you ain't dead
You're always trying to be so hard, tearing down all that we do
We're just having a good time, so let down your guard, we'll prove to you it ain't true
REPEAT CHORUS
Now us boys are annoying too, well, we're sorry to be in your way
You can't stand anything we do, well, what would you like us to say?
We just wanna enjoy our lives, have fun with all that we do
Still you poison the good things with all of your lies, well, we're sick of listening to you
We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?
We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll (repeat)
8. Lookin' Out for Number One
They always told me i must try to be
Like everyone in the nation
Go with the flow, remember me is we
There must be no deviation
Well, now i think that i'll go my own way
I've got my own point of view
I just don't care what other people say
I do what i wanna do
You know that i'm ready
I'm ready to rock
You know that i'm ready
I'm ready to rock
Gonna rock
I'm lookin' out for number one / number one
I'm lookin' out for number one / number one
I'm lookin' out for number one / number one
I'm lookin' out for number one / number one
The time has come for you to make a stand
You've got to do things your own way
Forget about the style, forget the brand
'Cause every dog has his own day
It doesn't matter what the others think
What counts is do you like you?
You think you're drownin' but you'll never sink
Just do what you wanna do
You better get ready, get ready to rock
You better get ready, get ready to rock
Gotta rock
You know that we're ready, we're ready to rock
You know that we're ready, we're ready to rock
Gonna rock
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for number one / number one
We're lookin' out for, out for number one
Yeah
9. Out On the Streets
I walk alone
Through sleepless nights
I'm just another number
Somethin' just ain't right
Searchin' for something
In this human zoo
Kaleidoscope of faces
Maybe, maybe it might be you
I feel like i lost my way
Things get darker every day that i stay
You're out on the streets
Livin' on your own
You're out on the streets
So far from home
When you're out on the streets
You can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets
Your heart's your only home
The mind it wanders
Through shattered dreams
Hours pass in seconds
And my heart it screams
I can't fight the past
I force back all of my tears
'Cause there ain't no turnin' back
Minutes, minutes turn to years
Someone listen to my prayers
Can't help feelin' no one cares, no one dares
You're out on the streets
Livin' on your own
You're out on the streets
So far from home
When you're out on the streets
You can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets
Your heart's your only home
Maybe there's a place for me
Is my dreaming to be free, fantasy
You're out on the streets
Livin' on your own
You're out on the streets
So far from home
When you're out on the streets
You can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets
Your heart's your only home
You're out on the streets
You're livin' on your own
You're out on the streets
So far, so far from home
When you're out on the streets
I can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets
Your heart's your only home
10. Tear It Loose
There ain't no way I'm gonna wait for Saturday Night
I worked all day, I slaved away, I gotta set it right
I'm gonna hit the streets, cruise around, I gotta find some action
Ain't gonna stop until I drop or get some satisfaction!
Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I'm gonna tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Come on now, tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
I've been brutalized, computerized, punched in and punched out
Here comes the night and it just ain't right to be shut in or shut out
So I'm breaking down the barricades, gonna slow the hands of time
Cause to waste away the rest of the day is such a fucking crime!
Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
You've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
I'll keep grabbin' hold of all the gold in this old world of trash
Long as there's light breaking through the night I'm never gonna crash
And if I'm down and out one day, I won't throw in the deuce
I'll just kick it out, thrash about till I tear it loose, oh
Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
We got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Alright, let's tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
