1. WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND

On the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze.
Sweet, sweet Connie -- doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.
Up all night with Freddy King
I got to tell you poker's his thing
A-booze 'n ladies keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

[Chorus:]
We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down
We're an American band

Four young chaquitas in Omaha
Was waitin' for the band to return from the show
Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band
They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on,"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down

[Chorus]

We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo
We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo


2. DOWN ON ME

The sun shines through my window today
Occurred to me the sun could go away

I can't believe it, my world is tall and faster
I can't conceive it, the calm before disaster
Raining down on me
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
Never to return, I know it's true
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
But before I go I'll slip my disease into you

I feel the pain of having to sit next to yourself
Yesterdays tomorrow really makes me mad

I can't believe it, my world is tall and faster
I can't conceive it, the calm before disaster
Raining down on me
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
Never to return, I know it's true
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
But before I go I'll slip my disease into you

Feeling down, going out of control
I can feel the life draining from my very soul
You got your hands around my neck
You're pulling me down
And you're pulling me down
Is this for real or is it a dream
Hello moviegoers, is there no shame?

I can't believe it, my world is tall and faster
I can't conceive it, the calm before disaster
Raining down on me
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
Never to return, I know it's true
And I'm slipping deeper, deeper in darkness
But before I go I'll slip my disease into you
Into you
Into you
Into you
Into you


3. WHEN WILL IT RAIN

When will it rain, I feel the heat burning through my shoes
Soft shoulders are getting harder adding to my blues
Can't count the days gone by, can't wish away the stain
On the life behind me from which I came

The heat is getting hotter
The day is getting longer
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain

[Chorus:]
When will it rain
Can't stand this heat from the road, can't stand the pain
When will it rain
It's burning holes in my shoes, won't you tell me
When will it rain
I think I'm going insane
When will it rain
I'm on the road that will never take me home
When will it rain

When will it rain my mouth is as dry as desert sand
And I've tried to hide in every corner of this land
You can't lose the things attached or that's what they say
Things I loved, attached or not, I've thrown away

The heat is getting hotter
The day is getting longer
The sun will show no mercy, my nights are spent in vain
I chose this long road and on it I remain
When will it rain

[Chorus]

I've walked for miles and miles in a dead man's shoes
You can walk, you can run, but can't hide from the blues
And I've felt the pain of the world falling down on me
All I need is a little cool rain to set me free

[Chorus]

When will it rain, when will it rain, when will it rain


4. LOCKED AND LOADED

What you gonna do when the sun don't shine
And the moon don't come up right on time
What you gonna do when the storm won't break
And the whip don't crack
And the earth won't quake
What you gonna do when the knife won't cut
The blood won't flow and ya mouth run dry
What you gonna do when it crumbles in your hand
It's an eye for an eye when your high horse dies

Primed and ready
Feelin' nasty, seein' red
Locked & loaded
Locked & loaded
Locked & loaded
Aimin' for your soul
Locked & loaded

What you gonna do when the lightning flash
And ya bridges burn and ya start to crash
And a pill won't take the pain away
But it makes you feel good in a different way
Who ya gonna blame when the man calls time
And the clock runs down and your soul is mine
And how ya gonna pray when ya hands are tied
And you look in my face and you know I lied

Primed and ready
Feeling' nasty, seein' red
Locked & loaded
Locked & loaded
Locked & loaded
Aimin' for your soul
Locked & loaded

I'm your danger
Feed me with your fear
I'm your danger
Smell me drawing near

Primed and ready
Feelin' nasty, seein' red
Locked & loaded
Locked & loaded
Locked & loaded
Aimin' for your soul
Locked & loaded


5. I STAND ALONE

Well everytime I move
Every step I make
You know I just can't seem to take
The right direction

I'm always wrong
I'm never right
Right or wrong
There always seems to be a correction

And I give everything I got
And they take take take
Everything I'm giving

My back is tired
My legs both ache
In this life
There is no cake
This life I'm livin'

[Chorus:]
I stand alone today
Don't ask me why I feel
I just know I feel this way
I stand alone today

Well you look at me
Shake your head
Don't like my hair
You're so misled...you do!

But the curse is more than on my head
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead
It's worse than voodoo

And I'm reaching out for help
But it's no no no no no
Until you give in

My back is tired
My legs both ache
In this life
There is no cake
This life I'm livin'

[Chorus]

They take, they take
Everything I'm givin'
It's a rough rough life
This life I'm livin'
Give me more, give me more
I take more every day
I'm gonna take it
Till they take take take take take me away

[Chorus]

I stand alone today
I stand alone today
I stand alone today
I stand alone today
I... I...


6. I AM THE WALRUS

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snied
I'm crying

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo


7. PUSH COMES TO SHOVE

Ill as a hornet, swarming around
Your political correct world is incorrect I've found
An angry young man is what I became
The day that you got full of yourself, and now only you're to blame

[Chorus:]
Push
Push me on off of the ledge
I'm standing with my toes hanging over the edge
Not worried about a push coming down from above
I'm ready for you
When push comes to shove

Look in my hands it's not what it seems
Touch my hands I been around touch the man
Touch the fist that can shatter your dreams

[Chorus]


8. HEADED FOR DESTRUCTION

Hello everybody, welcome to the show
We're headed for destruction, don't you want to go

It's time to romp and stomp
It's time to jam
It's time for you to kick some dirt up off the ground
Are you out, are you in, if you're in are you for sure
'Cause if you're in you're in, and if you're out you're out
And get your ass on out the door

Sister won't you help me, Mother Mary may I
And then we'll do it again

[Chorus:]
Headed for destruction
Don't you want to come along say yea
Yea
Come on say hell yea
Hell yea
Headed for destruction
Don't you want to get it on say yea
Yea
Say hell yea
Hell yea

Round number two and we're back for more
I'm here to tell you baby just what we got in store
It's down to groove when you're diggin' that sound
If you're hot you're hot, if you're not you're not
And you're not gonna hang around

Sister won't you help me, Mother Mary may I
And then we'll do it again

[Chorus]

Hello everybody, welcome to the show
We're headed for destruction, don't you want to go
Come on everybody, don't you want to know
Heading for destruction now, don't you want to go

[Chorus]


9. LUMBERJACK

I was born in the backwoods
Of a two-bit nowhere town
Fathered up some rock 'n' roll (baby)
So you muthers could boogie down
I ain't whistling dixie
No I'm a rebel with a groove
All around the world the ygo 'round and 'round
When they dig on my new stainless steel sound

[Chorus:]
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm gonna cut you down to size
I'm a lumberjack baby
And you're the one that gets my prize
And when you hear my motor running
You know I surely be coppin' a rise
So I'm gonna crank it up and cut it down

I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm a lumberjack now baby
I'm a lumberjack baby
I'm a lumberjack baby
But I ain't jacked my lumber baby
Since my chain saw you


10. MISERY LOVES COMPANY

I'm sitting stoned all alone in a room full of friends
'Cause it lifts the world off me
Black light shining on Jimmy's face
It'll never let him be free

Oh, oh, ashes fall from the spleefs I roll
Oh, oh, burning holes in my crushed velvet soul
Oh, all I ever wanted, all I ever wanted

Is to open up and let the outside in
Open up and let it begin
Open up and let it come together
Open up and let it in
A Dodge Dart pull through the drive-thru
Of the hell hole I'm standing in
Welcome to the crown of thorns, Chris Kringel
Never been my friend

Oh, oh, wishes fall from my tongue like drool
Oh, oh, the ground floor of life is cruel
Oh, oh, all I ever wanted, all I ever wanted

Come together
I see it now, I'm gonna get it
I see it, I'm gonna let it, let it, let it, let it begin
Let it begin, let it begin

Open up, open up
Open up and let the outside in
Open up and let it begin
Open up and let it come together
Open up and let it in
Open up and let the oustside in
Open up and let it begin
Open up and let it come together
Open up and let it in
Oh yeah


11. DIXIELAND

Down SOuth where the air is wet
The red day rules and you can bet
It makes me proud, I'll never forget
My Dixieland

Fulton County Georgia that's where I was born
With a fire in my tail anda devil's horn
Daddy never listened to my mother's scorn
He loved to play it loud
And he played it loud

[Chorus:]
Look away Dixieland
'Cause we're a rock and roll rebel Dixie band
Look away Dixieland

Lost a lot of time ten years to the day
Lost a lot of time trying to find my way
If I make it back home I'll be okay
And here's to that day

Ice tea washes and corn bread dream
It's what keeps me going or so it would seem

I keep it up, never let up steam
I sing it loud and proud
Loud and proud

[Chorus]

And when the day comes around that my music's gone
Don't leave me here and don't leave me alone
Just take me back home to the boys in the band
We'll start it back up in Dixieland


12. SECRET OF THE BOTTLE

I feel better when I'm drinking,
It just seems to ease my mind
And all my worries and troubles,
They just seem to fade behind

[Chorus:]
Oh the secret of the bottle it may never be known
So I'll raise my glass and propose
A toast and this one baby is for you

I start to laugh when I'm drinking,
I may tell a joke or two
Sometimes I'll even pretend that I'm still in love with you

[Chorus]

And you ask me if I've felt pain
After all that I've been through
I've paid more than just my dues
I felt the pain of you

I feel the pain when I'm drinking,
It just don't seem to cut as deep
And when I lay down without you it makes
It easy to go to sleep

[Chorus]


13. DIRTY LITTLE MIND

Well I licked her clean from head to toe
I took her down for the count
She was ready for more
And you know she's got a dirty little mind
The way she walks
The way she grooves
I have to strap her down to keep up with her moves
And you know she's got a dirty little mind

[Chorus:]
She's got a dirty
Dirty
Dirty
Dirty
Dirty little mind
Dirty little mind

Stretched out in the night
What do I feel?
I feel so good it just can't be real
And you know she's got a dirty little ind
Well she makes me smile, yeah she makes me glad
She's B.A.D.
Yeah man she's bad
And you know she's got a dirty little mind

[Chorus]

And I know what she's thinking
Yes I know what's on her mind
You've got to know, my lady's sinking into her mind
And I know she'll never let go
I've got her on a stick

[Chorus]


14. REDNECK PUNK

I jumped straight off that trail today
Ain't nobody better get in my way no
Trail dust, sore butt, gotta get out of this 10 day rut

[Chorus:]
Whoa, gitty up and go
I'm a redneck punk
Mean, red, better off dead
I'm a redneck punk

Staring down the barrel of an old shotgun
I can tell tonight's gonna be some fun
Don't you step on my toes
And you won't find yourself with a bloody nose

[Chorus]

Hey you, long haired motherfuck
Show me how you do

I live like a gypsy, I live like a dog
Gotta hard enough time just doing without
And nobody ever better run their fucking mouth

[Chorus]


15. MISTER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME

All right people
Step right up
Don't be afraid to throw that change...
Me and my buddy are going to play you a tune
Goes something like this
I got a friend that lives in the city, in New York City
He puts a brown bag under his arm
Walks down the street till he gets to big box
Crawls inside and has a seat in a cardboard box in the city
New York City and Stop.

2 3 4
He always finds the cheap wine
It's liquid heat but it make a meal
Finally takes a drink and shakes his head
No life's not pretty in the city, New York City

Life's ladder is so hard to climb
So want cha spare a moment of your time
I'll do a dance or sing you a rhyme and say
Hey mister can you spare a dime?

Well I'm standing on the edge of insanity
Looking over the edge
Things look greener on the other side
Sit around and worry about things
Wonder why till I literally brake down and cry
And it seems if though I've reached out
And slapped the world on the balls
Grabbed it by the throat
And slammed it up against the wall

Life's ladder is so hard to climb
So want cha spare a moment of your time
I'll do a dance or sing you a rhyme and say
Hey mister can you spare a dime?

Take it on back to Georgia boys... Heah
Mr Worley...

So if your looking down on me and don't like what you see
I've been around a time or two and I'll make a fool of you
And so what if I reached out
And slapped the world on the balls
Grab me by the throat and slam me up against the wall...

Life's ladder is so hard to climb
So want cha spare a moment of your time
I'll do a dance or sing you a rhyme and say
Hey mister ...Hey Mister

Life's ladder is so hard to climb
So want cha spare a moment of your time
I'll do a dance or sing you a rhyme and say
Hey mister ...Hey Mister ...Hey Mister
Can you space a dime

Give it up
