1. Rock'n'Roll Kids Forever
Hey Joe it's good to see you made the shoe
Hey Sue we're glad that you could make it too
What's a woman without a man
What's a band without their fans
All the power we generate
Comes from you in front of the stage
Dedication is much tougher
Much stronger than all of the others
Rock'n'roll kids forever
They come out any weather - to get down
Rock'n'roll kids forever
They will run hell for leather - to get down
All right we're gonna rip it up tonight
Good times guaranteed to blow your mind
Rock'n'roll is here to stay
Rock'n'roll is the only way
C'mon guys - communicate
Show the world how rockers celebrate
Dedication is much tougher
Much stronger than all of the others
Rock'n'roll kids forever
They come out any weather - to get down
Rock'n'roll kids forever
They will run hell for leather - to get down
2. Backstreet Rider
Black prince stands outside
All revved up for you to ride
You want to - you need to
A short cut to paradise
Zooms into your starry eyes
So cut loose - you can't refuse
We'll cruise down the highway
Hot child we'll be free
Head straight for the borderline
On the road to ecstasy
Sleep out in the open
Make love in the rain
All alone just you and me
On a motorbike - motorbike dream
Backseat rider - backseat rider
Just you and me
Backseat rider - backseat rider
On a motorbike - motorbike dream
L.A. stars by night
With a young guns appetite
I want you - I need you
Wild thoughts cross my mind
So grab the leather real tight
It feels good - my young blood
No rules for tomorrow
We'll live for today
Break loose from the things in life
That wrap you up in chains
Sleep out in the open
Make love in the rain
All alone just you and me
On a motorbike - motorbike dream
Backseat rider - backseat rider
Just you and me
Backseat rider - backseat rider
On a motorbike - motorbike dream
3. Standing Like A Rock
In life constant battle field
You gotta master everyday survival
Take the though times with the smooth
Try to keep those heavy scales in balance
There's something we must say
Before we start each day
We're standing - we're standing
Really standing - standing like a rock
Some men drown in waters deep
Others just can't stand the heat around them
They fall to power in control
Bend to spirit and to soul destruction
That's something we must fight
Shout with all our might
We're standing - we're standing
Really standing - standing like a rock
4. All Aboard
Look me in the eye
With your hand on your heart
Love me like no other
And party that tomorrow comes really slow
'cause baby's gonna burn tonight
The plane takes off for one hell of a flight
Pleasures to discover
This cowboy's gonna rock
'till the morning light
There is love in the air tonight
We'll be dancing, dancing on the clouds
We'll be dancing, on the clouds
All aboard - on flight 69 forever
All night long - touching the sky with you
All aboard - on flight 69 to heaven
All night long - touching the sky with you
Fly baby fly this silver bird in the sky
It's party like no other
The seats are reclining, the music is loud
There's rocking in the aisles alright
The highest high, that money can buy
So love me like no other
Jump on the board for a real good ride
There's love in the air tonight
We'll be dancing, dancing on the clouds
We'll be dancing, on the clouds
All aboard - on flight 69 forever
All night long - touching the sky with you
All aboard - on flight 69 to heaven
All night long - touching the sky with you
5. Hell And Back
Turn on the heat
Wanna let loose tonight
Shake of the boredom
Set this planet alight
The earth is moving
Round and round and round
Let's break out
'til we reach the speed of sound
Out in there fast lane
Take a ride to
Hell and back - hell and back
Take a ride to
Hell and back - hell and back
Born in a rocket
Can't settle down nowhere
Gun in my pocket
Waiting for his prey
The night is calling
C'mon bend the rules
Let's ride into the galaxy of fools
Nothing to loose
Take a ride to
Hell and back - hell and back
Take a ride to
Hell and back - hell and back
6. Temples Of Gold
Hey, don't be fooled
By the words of someone who lies
And don't be fooled by the plan
Behind TV preachers smiles
He's just pretending
He's communicating with God
They want your money
On your conscience they'll play
My friend do not believe
A word that they say
In their temples of gold
In their temples of gold
God wouldn't want you to pay
If you are searching for the
Straight up meaning of life
Buddy, that's something that
Your hard earned money can't buy
Switch off you TV
In the real world you'll see
10.000 preachers
Who are doin' it for free
With no temples of gold
With no temples of gold
Just bricks and stones
With no temples of gold
God wouldn't want you to pay
They want your money
On your conscience they'll play
My friend do not believe
A word that they say
In their temples of gold
In their temples of gold
You pay - they win
In their temples of gold
In their temples of gold
God wouldn't want you to pay
7. Take The Pace
In a world where only the strong survive
There's no sympathy for the weaker guys
The hands of time won't wait for the loser
You only get one chance
And you can't abuse it
It's always the same old song - the same old singers
Yes it's always the same old game - the same old winners
If you can't take the pace
You shouldn't ride the rodeo
And if you can't win the race
Why the hell did you join the show
No, there's no one to pull you through the stormy weather
So the moment to start this race is now or never
Can you take the pace - tell me, tel me
Take the pace
Can you take the pace - tell me, tell me
Take the pace - a case of do or die
The fight is on - will you fall
Or will you stop before the curtain call
There's no excuse for nearly made it
So don't attempt the course - if you can't take it
It's always the same old song - the same old singers
Yes, it's always the same old game - the same old winners
Can you take the pace - tell me, tel me
Take the pace
Can you take the pace - tell me, tell me
8. Rock The Neighbours
Sick'n'tired of the world outside
Everyone talks 'bout everyone's wife
And if you're a single occupant
Hey you must be a gay friend
Live and let live is our philosophy
Black or white or peppermint green
Just let them play their games
'cause this is what we say
Rock the neighbours
Lock 'em in a cell - send 'em all in hell
Neighbours!
Rock the neighbours
Lock 'em in a cell - send 'em all in hell
He's drunk again shouting off his mouth
She would leave but there's no way out
With a family of three
And another on the way
Downstairs party 'till half past four
The cops are banging on the door
They're driving us insane
And that is what we say
Rock the neighbours
Lock 'em in a cell - send 'em all in hell
Neighbours!
Rock the neighbours
Lock 'em in a cell - send 'em all in hell
Check the chick in 205
Waits half naked when the mail arrives
But the first one on the phone
When I bring my ladies home
See that jerk on the 2nd floor
Keeps complaining 'bout the kids next door
Guess the highlight of his life
Is beatin' up his wife
Rock the neighbours
Lock 'em in a cell - send 'em all in hell
Neighbours!
Rock the neighbours
Lock 'em in a cell - send 'em all in hell
9. Mr. President
Tell me Mr. president
Did you sleep well last night
And tell me Mr. confident
Was the caviar alright
Just around the corner
Where life is colder
There are no winners
When you drive out heaven's gate
Watch the flame 'cause baby - you're in hell
When you leave the white house door
Nothing's white no more
'cause you're in hell
Tell me Mr. president
How is your neighbourhood
Last time I saw Washington
It didn't look so good
Bloody streets of terror
Things won't get better
There are no winners
When you drive out heaven's gate
Watch the flame 'cause baby - you're in hell
When you leave the white house door
Nothing's white no more
'cause you're in hell
10. Break Away
Walking out the door I fell the urge to run
Leave behind this dead end life and have
Some real fun
What is so important about security
I'm working real hard for this grey reality
Passport and cash are itching in my hand
But still this magnet pulls me back again
Why can't I - why can't I
Why can't I break away
Why can't I - why can't I break away
Maybe I'll make it some day
People build their prisons
Then they lock their doors
We're creatures of a self inflicted
Big white hall
The world's such a big place, why am I so small
I wonder if I'm still afraid of this mighty fall
Passport and cash are itching in my hand
But still this magnet pulls me back again
Why can't I - why can't I
Why can't I break away
Why can't I - why can't I break away
Maybe I'll make it some day
11. Fighting Back The Tears
Sometimes when I hear the rain
Like teardrops on my window pane
Crying because you can't be here
Voices screaming through the tears
I call out your name
I call out your name - yes I do
Sometimes in my lonely room
I gaze at stars and Mr. moon
Again I play this waiting game
The wind outside is whispering
I call out your name
I call out your name - yes I do
The seasons come and they fade away
And I am here waiting for the day
You're running to me
You're running to me
I want you - yes I do
Just another night to go my love
And I'll be no my way to you
Laughing like I used to do
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
For some times
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
'cause I've been fighting, fighting,
Fighting back the tears
Whispers on the telephone
Only make me want you more
And when the call comes to an end
Suddenly I must confess
You're the very best
Everything I ever dreamed was you
I can't believe it's true
Just another night to go on my own
And I'll be on my way to you
Laughing like I used to do
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
For some times
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
And I can't fight no more
Sometimes when I'm on the road
Wish that I could turn and go
Back to where it all began
Just a lady and her man - loving again
Loving again, and again
Just another night to go my love
And I'll be no my way to you
Laughing like I used to do
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
For some times
'cause I've been fighting back the tears
'cause I've been fighting, fighting
Fighting back the tears
And I can't fight no more
12. The 9th Of November
When the curtain fell
To reverse a spell
Of almost 30 years
And the tears and pain
That were all constrained
Hell broke loose that day
Like a miracle all the doors where open
Like a hurricane, like a wild wind blowin'
When the victims of cold persecution
Gather for the revolution
When the burning hearts join forces then
Marching for their rights
The liberty was calling them
On this winter night
Bodies cold but hearts on fire
All the young and old with a strong desire
To be free again from these iron chains of
Persecution
Gather for the revolution
When the burning hearts join forces then
Marching for their rights
The liberty was calling them
On this winter night
We'll always remember - that day in November
When eagles flies - and a nation cries
On resurrection day
When a wishing well made a dream come true - yeah!
Only time will tell if they hold on to it
Will they run away and seek their fortunes
Of just stay and face the music
When the burning hearts join forces then
The liberty was calling them
On this winter night
We'll always remember - that day in November
When the eagles flies - and a nation cries
On resurrection day
