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

3. 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)
4. 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
5. 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
6. Under the Blade
A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!
You're cornered in the alley way, you know you're all alone
You know it's gonna end this way, the chill goes to the bone
Now here it comes that glistening light, it goes into your side
Blackness comes, tonight's the night, blade is gonna ride
CHORUS:
Cause you're under the blade
Oh, you're under the blade
It's not another party head, this time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped, a light shines in your eye
You faintly see a razor's edge, you open your mouth to cry
You know you can't, it's over now, blade is gonna ride
REPEAT CHORUS
A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
There nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!
You've tried to make it to the front, now you're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now, its mouth is open wide
The lights go on, the night explodes, it tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again, the blade is gonna ride
REPEAT CHORUS
Here it comes, baby
Ow!
Now you're under it
You're going down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Hey!
Ow!
7. Come Out and Play
Twisted Sister, come out and play
Twisted Sister, come out and play
Twisted Sister, come out and play
Twisted Sister, come out and play
Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night?
Behind closet doors are things when you turn out the light
Don't be afraid of the night, there's a light in the dark burning bright
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of the light
Come inside our world, an oyster 'round a pearl
You'll all be safe inside, a perfect place to hide, you'll see
Fun by decree
Ride above the storm, the average and the norm
A newfound ecstasy, a wild fantasy come true
This one's for you
Oh, welcome to our show
Oh, welcome to our life
Just follow me and you'll set yourself free
Now won't you come out and play
CHORUS:
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play. come on out and play
Solo - Jay Jay
Join our cavalcade, enter the world you made
We're only here for you to do what you won't do, you know
On with the show
A place where fallacy becomes reality
We'll spin your head around, we're programmed to astound, stand by
Prepare to fly
Oh, welcome to our show
Oh, welcome to our life
Just follow me and you'll think that you're free
Now won't you come out and play
REPEAT CHORUS
8. Love Is For Suckers
You saw me comin', you had my number
But you don't want me, could you be dumber
Your eyes are flashin', your lips are willing
But I'm a patsy for the killing
You're so beautiful, so unforgettable
You think that I'd do most anything
CHORUS:
Love is for dreamers, love is for believers
Love is for losers, love
Is for suckers
Love is for suckers, love is for suckers
Listen, I'm not some poor fool, won't jump through your hoop
Ain't gonna crawl, girl, to that I won't stoop
So if you want me, you'll have to get me
And if you're willing I'll be ready
You're so beautiful, so unforgettable
To me that just don't mean anything
REPEAT CHORUS
Listen, well, well, well, if it isn't little miss perfect
And to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
You wanna get back together? You do, huh?
Well, listen honey, I'm just not interested
You'll what? You will? With your heels on?
Oh no, come on, babe, let's go
Here I go again
Solo - Eddie
You're so beautiful, so unforgettable
You know that I'll do most anything
REPEAT CHORUS
Listen, love is for suckers, love is for suckers
Sucker fight me, sucker fight you (love is for suckers)
Always be suckers and do most anything
I wanna be a sucker (love is for suckers)
I'm a sucker, you're a sucker
He's a sucker, she's a sucker (love is for suckers)
Would you like to be a sucker, to be sucker?
Love is for suckers, yeah, yeah
Sucker
9. I Believe In Rock N Roll
Oh yeah, check it out
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of rock
And to the point of view for which it stands
One music under one God, yes, even God loves rock 'n' roll
With liberty and justice for all lands
RELEASE:
Every day I work so hard
Every day I'm dealt the cards
Every day I'm told exactly what to do
Every day I lose control
Every day I rock 'n' roll
Every day, it's gonna help to see me through
CHORUS:
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
Do you take this music to be your lawfully wedded rock
To have and hold in sickness and in health
For richer or for poorer, for better or for worse
Together until death comes to yourself?
REPEAT RELEASE
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo - Eddie
Sister says:
Oh, would that my words were written down
Would that they were inscribed on a record
That with an iron fist and led zeppelin
They were cut in the rock forever
But as for me, I know that heavy metal lives
And that it will at last stand forth upon the dust that I myself shall see
My own ears not another's shall behold it
And from my flesh I shall see it rock
My inmost being is consumed with longing
This is the word of the rocker
REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
10. 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
11. I'll Never Grow Up, Now
They say:
Hey whaddaya doin' with your life
Why don'tcha settle down and find yourself a wife
Don'tcha know you can't run away from here
When will you act your age, why don'tcha listen dear
I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now
They say:
You better stop your dreamin', you're goin' nowhere fast
What if we throw you out, how long you think you'll last
When will you go to school, why don'tcha get a job
Hey girl you better shape up, you're looking like a slob
Well I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now
And I say it again
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now
I can't believe you can't hear what you're saying
Take a good look at yourself
Why don'tcha you listen to the music we're playing
Go pick on somebody else
They say:
You think that life's a free ride, well take a tip from me
We're gonna end your party with some responsibility
All you say:

I'll never grow up (oh)
I'll never grow up, now
(Oh I know you can do better than that, everybody sing)
I'll never grow up (gimme more)

I'll never grow up, now (get off of my bed, hey watch it, you're crushin' my dresser)
I'll never grow up (what's that midget doin' here)
I'll never grow up (this is obscenity, oh well)
I'll never grow up, now
12. Shoot Em Down
Come on, boys!
Ow!
She looks so fine like champagne or wine, no one ever gets her
Oh, ain't she cool, plays us for fools if we wanna let her
Across the room she sees some buffoon blown away by her style
She goes out of her way so that she can play and make him beg for a little while
CHORUS:
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground
Like caviar or a fine foreign car, he's a motivator
Dressed to the T's, they're down on their knees, he's master baiter
He'll make 'em crawl for the hell of it all, he likes to see 'em cry
And then just for fun he'll say she's the one and then he'll make her die
He's gonna
REPEAT CHORUS
They don't care about feelings, they were meant to be stepped on
And while one is healing, they go and step on another one
Now, these people prey on us every day, some are bad, some badder
They think we're fools, so they make their own rules, it only gets us madder
Well, they think they're hot, well, I say they're not, they shoot us down for fun
If they wanna play, let's make 'em pay, shoot them down with a fuckin' gun
REPEAT CHORUS
Come on now!
REPEAT CHORUS
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
We shoot them down, come on, honey
Shoot them down, come on, shoot 'em down
