1. The Kids Are Back
We walk the streets in tattered armies
We got the lion in our heart
We're not lookin' for trouble, just for some fun
But we're all ready if you wanna start
CHORUS:
So, just remember the
The kids are back
The kids are back
Oh, watch out
The kids are back
Well, can you blame us for living our dreams?
Just look around and you'll see why
We don't wanna follow that same routine
Maybe it's for nothin', but we gotta try
REPEAT CHORUS
Look out
Now there's no problem, no need to fuss
We ain't out to stop your fun
Don't mind us askin', 'cause we gotta know
How can we stop it when you're havin' none?
REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
The kids are back
The kids are back
The kids are back
2. Like A Knife in the Back
Come inside, take a seat or a ride
We're so glad that you're here, now come on
Have a drink of some coke, gasoline or some rope
A guillotine, are you gone?
Don't turn around, ignore that sound
Just lie on this rack, are you starting to crack?
CHORUS:
I need this like a knife in the back
I need this like a knife in the back
Hey, my man, can you feel, can you stand?
That's a shame, really sad, do you want some more?
Like to help if I could but I don't think I should
I don't care, shall I pour?
Just lay right here, nothing to fear
All that you lack will start fading to black
REPEAT CHORUS
Ain't it sad that he's dead, was it something we said?
Such a drag, what could we do?
He was an ass, always smelling of gas
Not at all one of us, the chosen few
He turned around and heard the sound
Those with the knack get to run with the pack
REPEAT CHORUS
I need this
I need this
I need this
Like a knife in the back
3. Ride To Live, Live To Ride
Hard roads and endless lines flow through his veins
Cold steel and hot fuel injected 's the dream that fills his brain
But no, not slow, the speed fever grows
He rides, he sees, he knows
CHORUS:
You've got to ride to live, live to ride
Feel the flames burn inside
And though you know, you ride to hide
You ride to live to ride
Life's short and goes too fast, most pages burn
Don't wait, the end's too near, some people never learn
You all won't fall, the road fever calls
So run or fly, don't crawl
REPEAT CHORUS
Ride on and don't look back, you can't change what's done
Drive hard for grater glories, you all must be someone
So win, don't show, let the life fever go
The world is yours you know
You've got to ride to live, live to ride
Feel the flames burn inside
And though you know, you ride to hide
You ride to live to
REPEAT CHORUS
4. I Am (I'm Me)
Who are you to look down at what I believe?
I'm on to your thinking and how you deceive
Well, you can't abuse me, I won't stand no more
Yes, I know the reasons, yes, I know the score
CHORUS:
I am and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am and I'll be
I am: I'm me
How I tried to please you, live the way you said
Do the things that you do, like the living dead
Then the truth it hit me, got me off my knees
It's my life I'm living, i'll live as I please
REPEAT CHORUS
Now's the time to stand tall, start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart, now's the time for you
REPEAT CHORUS
I am: I'm me
I am: I'm me (can't you see)
I am: I'm me (can't you see, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, me, me, me, me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me, can't you see)
I am: I'm me (can't you see, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me, everything)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, look at me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
5. The Power and the Glory
I don't wanna think about it, why can't I live without it?
Oh, I need the love
I'm free and independent, I just take life and I spend it
Oh, I need the love
I'll feel the flames of a million fires
Fed by my feelings and my desires
Oh, I need the love
Oh, I want the love
I just need the power from above
I just got the power from above
Can't believe I saw the light, never thought I'd see the day
So filled with wrong I couldn't see right, almost lost the way
I was headed down, taken by the tide
I was lost at sea, missing in action, taken for a ride
CHORUS:
Now I've got the power and the glory
I've got the power from above
I've got the power and the glory
I've got the power, power of love
All the time I knew what was wrong, but denied it all the same
I was so blind I sang the same song, thought it was a game
But when I looked inside, the writing on the wall
Said, "it's a long way down, face it clown, fool you're gonna fall"
REPEAT CHORUS
That's right
REPEAT CHORUS
Power of love
Power of love
6. We're Gonna Make It
We'll make it
Been fighting for so long don't know which way up is
Been stuck and ripped and burnt till it feels like nothin'
Our time will come and when it's over and it's done
Those fools are gonna know that we ain't bluffin'
CHORUS:
We're gonna make it
We'll reach the top
We're gonna make it
And then we're never gonna stop
The power of the people ain't been showin'
It's never what you know, it's who you're knowin'
Sure it ain't right but as the saying goes it's might
That decides who stays behind and who'll be goin'
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
Alright, alright, we're gonna make it
Come on, boys, come on, boys
Ain't gonna stop until we drop
Oh, oh
Let it rock, let it roll
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Here we go, baby
7. I've Had Enough
You want to run around all night
You have your way or you scream and fight
You wanna live but don't wanna give
I've had enough of wrong or right
I don't know what to do
I just can't seem to get through to you
I want your love but if it comes to push or shove
You can have your attitude 'cause now we're through
CHROUS:
Because ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Enough from you
You say you need your only man
Well girl I love you all I can
You still want me but you want to be free
How much did you think I would stand?
Bye-bye, so long, now go
Our day is done so, take it slow
Just save your tears because, after all these years
I am dropping you, look out below
REPEAT CHORUS
Now girl, don't look so blue
Why do you do the things you do?
Promise you'll be good and act like a lover should
And I'll give my heart and soul right back to you
REPEAT CHORUS
And I say it again
I say ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Ooh, I've had enough
Enough from you
8. I'll Take You Alive
Pull the trigger, set the fire
Light the fuses, trip the wire
Head for safety, run for cover
Hit the dirt, I'm takin' over
Curse my name, say I'm a liar
Cut me loose and douse my fire
Mean mistreat me, spurn my lovin'
Pull my heartstrings, keep on shovin'
I want your love
I need your love
Don't try to hide, run away or take a ride
Some way, one day
CHORUS:
I'll take you alive
I'll take you alive
Ï'll take you alive
Ow
I'm your lover, your obsession
Modern romance, true confession
Guardian angel, phantom stranger
Infantry and your lone ranger
I want your love
I need your love
There's no way out, so, don't scream, kick or shout
One day, some way
REPEAT CHORUS
Ow ow ow ow ow ow
Pull the trigger, set the fire
Light the fuses, trip the wire
Head for safety, run for cover
Hit the dirt, I'm takin' over
I want your love
I need your love
Don't try to hide, run away or take a ride
Some way, one day
REPEAT CHORUS
I'll take you alive
9. You're Not Alone (Suzette's Song)
Can't seem to show you how much I care
Can't seem to prove it, you're so unaware
How much I need you, I try to show
I'm always with you and I love you so
Believe me when I try to say
I'll never, never go away
Oh, can't you see
CHORUS:
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
Baby you have me
The lonely hours of unspoken pain
Seems like a lifetime of endless rain
In my confusion I never find
The words to tell you that you're in my mind
So, let me try to find a way
To do the things I wanna say
Oh, can't you see
REPEAT CHORUS
My dream, my heart, my hope, my way
We'll stand together all our days
Oh, stay with me
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone (we'll care, never, never alone)
You're not alone (oh please, please, you)
You're not alone (we'll stay together all along)
You're not alone (never, never, never go)
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone (I need it now)
You're not alone (I need it now)
You're not alone (ooh)
You're not alone (ooh)
10. You Can't Stop Rock n' 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
