1. BIG GUN

Riot on the radio
Pictures on the TV
Invader man takes what he can
Shootout on the silver screen
Sticking ‘em up and knocking ‘em down
Living out a fantasy
There’s a bad man cruising around
In a big black limousine

Don’t let it be wrong
Don’t let it be right
Get in his way
You’re dead in his sights

Big gun
Big gun
Number one
Big gun
Big gun
Kick the hell out of you

Terminators, Uzi makers
Shootin’ up Hollywood
Snakes alive with a .45
Gettin’ off and doing no good
If you ain’t wise they’ll cannibalize
Tear flesh off you
Classified lady killers
Preyin’ in the human zoo

They saddle you up
And take you to town
Better look out
When he comes around

Big gun
Big gun
Number one
Big gun
Big gun
Kick the hell out of you

Show down!

Big gun
Big gun
Number one

Big gun
Got a hot one
Big gun
Got a number one
Big gun
Loaded and cocked
Big gun
Hot, hot, hot
Got big gun
Ready or not
Big gun
Give it, give it a shot, c’mon

Terminator
Uzi makers
Regulators
Gonna get you later

Big gun
Kick the hell out of you


2. WHAT THE HELL HAVE I

The face before me flies
Laughs at me inside
Masks are made to hide the glow
Shining eyes
Distance ‘tween us grows
Feeding lies

It’s hard to start things over
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

Something I should say
It takes you every day
What you give is not alive
Today
Your soul served on a plate
Throw it away

It’s hard to start things over
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

It’s hard to start things over
Oh yeah
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

It’s hard to start things over
Oh yeah
You can feel the fire around us
All the time
Yeah

All the time

What the hell have I?
Little pride


3. ANGRY AGAIN

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you’re wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry...

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry...

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity’s got my bones
It pulls my flesh away
The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture its jaw to let me be

A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry...


4. REAL WORLD

Strange, the view from here
Words we spoke, forgotten at the time
Now replay in my mind

What went wrong, what was right?
Looking back, I never was there for you
You didn’t say, but I know it’s true

I can’t find the real world alone

Every time I think I’ve won
I hear your voice inside
Questioning me

Where have you gone?
Can’t you remember feeling so alone
You always had the answer that I could not see

I can’t find the real world
I can’t find the real world
I can’t find the real world alone

I can’t find the real world
I can’t find the real world
I can’t find the real world alone


5. TWO STEPS BEHIND

Walk away if you want to
It’s ok, if you need to
You can run, but you can never hide
From the shadow that’s creeping up beside you

There’s a magic running through your soul
But you can’t have it all

(Whatever you do)
I’ll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go)
And I’ll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around and I’ll be two steps behind

Take the time to think about it
Walk the line, you know you just can’t fight it
Take a look around and see what you can find
Like the fire that’s burning up inside me

There’s a magic running through your soul
But you can’t have it all

(Whatever you do)
I’ll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go)
And I’ll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around and I’ll be two steps behind

There’s a magic running through your soul
But you, you can’t have it all

(Whatever you do)
I’ll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go)
And I’ll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around and I’ll be two steps behind
Yeah, baby
Two steps behind
Oh, sugar
Two steps behind


6. POISON MY EYES

I always knew I had what it took
To jump over any obstacle
Together or separate we’ve been through
Fight for me and I’d kill for you

I always knew things were the same
But there’s a caution light in your brain
I won’t help with your cement shoes
If bailing out is what you choose

You’ve been spending years and years
Carrying your biggest fears too long...

You’ve been sucked in through a hole
With your vision of control so wrong...

If you leave your defenses down
Who’ll chew you up and spit you out
If you leave your defenses down
Who will pick you up?

Poison my eyes
Better men have tried, tried to take me down
A man is a man, is a man you can’t see clear
Now you’re forced to hear all that you dread

Better to keep it hidden
Believing it’s what you deserve

You make me feel everything I do
Betters me and sabotages you
But all it does is leave you behind
As you disconnect from the grind

Drowning in your own denial
Is as simple as a smile
One is strong one insecure
Who dies first in our private war?

You’ve been wasting years and years
Running from your darkest fears too long...

You’ve been falling through the holes
Now your vision of control is gone...

If you leave your defenses down
Who’ll chew you up and spit you out
If you leave your defenses down
Who will pick you up?

Poison my eyes
Better men have tried, tried to take me down
A man is a man, is a man you can’t see clear
Now you’re forced to hear all that you dread

Better to keep it hidden
Believing it’s what you deserve

Be dangerous and unpredictable and make a lot of noise
Be dangerous and unpredictable and make a lot of noise
Be dangerous and unpredictable and make a lot of noise
Be dangerous and unpredictable and make a lot of noise


7. DREAM ON

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn’t that the way
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it’s everybody’s sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life’s in books’ written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it’s true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes true

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes through

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away


8. A LITTLE BITTER

How the mind does shout for rest
When the bodies shaken, yeah
Oh the tightness in my chest
Still your leaves I’m raking

Lord is this a test?
Was it fun creating, yeah?
My god’s a little sick
And he wants me crazy

Who are you?
Who can say?
It’s ok to live through me?
Live to be
Part of me
You’re a wrinkled magazine
Yeah

Was it something that I said?
Was it how they’re breaking, yeah?
I’m so selfish, paying your rent
While your blood I’m taking

You spend me like a tree
Dirty dollar bills for leaves
Dark in a sea of my seeds
And the tears on which you feed

You feed

The body is a temple
A dormant alter
To where infantile men lie around
Itching and nibbling
For a small piece of sanity of which you cannot give

Shit!

Individuality
Buying pennies with my soul
And a little heaven spent
While the hell I’m taking

Thieves
Parasites
Hide from life
You know they’ll remember me

They are abhorred
In self-worth
All that matters much to me


9. COCK THE HAMMER

I’m a chicken hawk (on a chicken-hunt), huntin’ for a chicken
Get paranoid when you hear my glock clickin’
Speakin’ to the punk-ass victim (punk that’s tweakin’)
With the bitch-ass styles I hit you like Deacon
Jones house, cough without the bones
I rolled ya up and smoked you like bones (cones)
Split the seed and grow you like clones
Don’t start-me-up, ‘cause I’m not the Rolling Stones
But I get stoned with a little help from my friends
With the (gubla), then I passed it round back to me again
I can make you famous like Amos
Same as the last punk, when I stuck the gatt up his anus
Hear me growl: Grrr! Howl!
I got the night vision just like the wise old owl
I’m comin’ ta fetch ya
Yeah homes I’ll wet ya (yeah home direct ya)
Bury the bones under my home and...

Cock the hammer
Cock the hammer
It’s time for action
Cock the hammer
Cock the hammer
It’s time for action

With (Take) my weapon, step into a whole new realm
And step back, as I take up the helm
Of (On) the pirate ship I’m steerin’
Jump into gear and (droppin’ the geran)
Just realize what you’re hearin’
The cannon’s soundin’ (cannon sounded)
That’s my companions surroundin’ (companion: surrounded)
As my crew comes pounding (bounding)
It’s (As) the captain Afro-america
Whole lotta gattin’ With the loc’ed out latin
Bust that (Busted!) you’re a red beard with a musket
Better duck (talk) quick ‘cause ya might get dusted
Your gatt looks rusted, disgusted
Oh look away, look away boy as I rush it
Yes I know that you can’t withstand it
Watch that ass cause punk I’ll brand it
With my (a) steel-toe, how you feel now
When my boot stuck in that ass like a dildo
Cry on a pillow, weeper that’s willow
The Hill got the steel (skill) for the static like brillo
Hmmm, what you talkin’ ‘bout punk
Gimme room as I light up the boom
Cock the hammer, wave the white banner
Ever heard a gun (glock) go ‘click’ like a camera?

Cock the hammer
Cock the hammer
It’s time for action
Cock the hammer
Cock the hammer
It’s time for action


10. SWIM

Coming up from the sound
It’s got you swimming around
Metal’s crushing your bones
As you hit the ground

No blood, no foul
Back into the pool
No diving from here
Fuck that rule

I like to swim
I like to swim
Into the mosh

Up the side and straight down the middle
Jam with Link and Walt just a little
Then I’m back in the mix
Brain Dead Goliath trying to grab my leg
I break that tackle like Bo
Then I head for the heads

I like to swim
I like to swim
I like to swim
I like to swim


11. LAST ACTION HERO

Evil, do you feel the thunder?
This time he’s got your number, comin’ after you
Hate to think about the mess this’s gonna make
But those who cross the line are gonna die

But it’s the way that you do what you did to who
And it’s a fear they feel ‘cause they know you’re for real
You know you’re for real

Now, just like in the movies
Just when they get the best of you
You always seem to pull through
You’re the true!

Last Action Hero
First time, second round, third is a charm
Last Action Hero
A real-life animal loose on the farm

Now evil’s layin’ low and under
‘Cause they got him on the run, they wonder what to do
Ain’t a livin’ soul, no fuckin’ beast or man
Could ever take him down, not even Superman

‘Cause it’s the way that you do what you did to who
And it’s a fear they feel ‘cause they know you’re for real
You know you’re for real

Now just like the big-time
You get to bang the ladies too
‘Cause you always pull through
You’re the true!

Last Action Hero
It’s first time, second round, third is a charm
Last Action Hero
A real-life animal loose on the farm
Last Action Hero
Always first time, second round, third is a charm
Last Action Hero
A real-life animal loose on the farm

Never gonna be another
Of this kind in any time or place in history
Ask what those of you who still must pay your dues
I wouldn’t want to be the one to wear your shoes

‘Cause it’s the way that you do what you did to who
And it’s a fear they feel ‘cause they know you’re for real
You know you’re for real

Now, just like in the movies
Just when they get the best of you
You always seem to pull through
You’re the true!

Last Action Hero
It’s first time, second round, third is a charm
Last Action Hero
A real-life animal loose on the farm
Last Action Hero
Always first time, second round, third is a charm
Last Action Hero
A real-life animal loose on the farm
Last Action Hero
Always first time, second round, third is a charm
Last Action Hero
You’re a real-life animal loose on the farm
Last Action Hero
Turn it loose!
Last Action Hero
Last Action Hero
Last Action Hero
Last Action Hero
Last Action Hero!


12. JACK AND THE RIPPER

(Instrumental)
