Lyrics


1. BREAKOUT

We're all living in a cruel world
You've gotta fight for your rights
A never ending competition
Especially out in the night

No mercy for the loser
You must be strong to fight this fight

This city gives you no chance
'Cause crime will find you where you are
And so you live from day to day
Just a part of this urban war

No mercy for the loser
You must be strong to fight this fight

Breakout
Don't be a fool no more
Breakout
Don't you see the open door?
Breakout
Why do you hesitate?
Breakout
Tomorrow it could be too late

It's no excuse to say you can't escape
How long do you think you can wait?
And then some day you'll be defeated
Oh no mercy!

This city gives you no chance
'Cause crime will find you where you are
And so you live from day to day
Just a part of this urban war

No mercy for the loser
You must be strong to fight this fight


2. IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

A golden summer night
I'm lying in my bed, can't find no sleep
Euphoria in my head
Reminding me that life is but a dream

I'm walking in the streets
Got power in my arms, I feel the heat
I'm restless and I'm young
My music's rock 'n' roll, it's the the air I breathe

I need to find some direction
Leave everything behind
So if you get my intention
I've got an axe to grind

In the heat of the night
I'm gonna take my chances
In the heat of the night
See me running wild
In the heat of the night
Watch as the fire dances
In the heat of the night
In the dark of the night

One thing I know for sure
It doesn't matter if you're black or white
(Listen) Just stick to your guns
And one day everything will turn out right

I don't need your protection
To live fast and die young
I'll follow reckless abandon
Until I'm dead and gone

On the wings of the sunset comes the night
And after the darkness I know there is light

Yeah!


3. MARY, MARY

Mary, Mary quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With jewels and pearls and shiny stars
And pretty, pretty, pretty boys all in a row

Shootin' pool with my friends down town
When you walked in it was time for a showdown
Burn hammer break the flame light one candle
Love on your terms, was just too hard to handle

I need to know right now
Am I right or wrong or is it bare reality?
Or is this just a dream
That no-one else can see?

Mary, Mary please, please tell me
Mary, Mary now won't you tell me
Is this the love that was meant to be?

Mary, Mary please, please tell me
Mary, Mary now won't you tell me
Is this the love that was meant to be?

Heads turned when you entered the room
And I recall you locked so fine
Soon as you saw me you turned to leave
I could have sworn I aw tears in your eyes

Mary, Mary please, please tell me
Mary, Mary now won't you tell me
Is this the love that was meant to be?

Mary, Mary please, please tell me
Mary, Mary now won't you tell me
Is this the love that was meant to be?

I need to know right now
Am I right or wrong or is it bare reality?
Or is this just a dream
That no-one else can see?

Ooh Mary can't you see?


4. SAVE THE WORLD

If you look into those bright and shiny eyes
You'll forget about your troubles and all the lies
But it is not the time to sink into an endless dream
'Cause thousands are are moaning (just listen) who will hear
them scream
If you intend to stay calm without a single shout
Please don't forget that time, oh is running out!

'Cause in these times the world seems to spin faster
It's like ruled by rolling money it's the only answer

We've got to save the world for our children
We've got to save the world for us all
It's the only one we've got and it won't take a lot
'Til we're living all for one and one for all

Just imagine if everyone drowns in an ocean of tears
We'd destroy everything we've been building up for...
Thousands of tears

We've got to save the world for our children
We've got to save the world for us all
It's the only one we've got and it won't take a lot
'Til we're living all for one and one for all

'Cause in these times the world seems to spin faster
It's like ruled by rolling money it's the only answer

We've got to save the world for our children
We've got to save the world for us all
It's the only one we've got and it won't take a lot
'Til we're living all for one and one for all


5. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune


6. SAVE THE WORLD (RADIO VERSION)

I you look into those bright and shiny eyes
You'll forget about your troubles and all the lies
But it is not the time to sink into an endless dream
'Cause thousands are are moaning (just listen) who will hear
them scream
If you intend to stay calm without a single shout
Please don't forget that time, oh is running out!

'Cause in these times the world seems to spin faster
It's like ruled by rolling money it's the only answer

We've got to save the world for our children
We've got to save the world for us all
It's the only one we've got and it won't take a lot
'Til we're living all for one and one for all

Just imagine if everyone drowns in an ocean of tears
We'd destroy everything we've been building up for...
Thousands of tears

We've got to save the world for our children
We've got to save the world for us all
It's the only one we've got and it won't take a lot
'Til we're living all for one and one for all

'Cause in these times the world seems to spin faster
It's like ruled by rolling money it's the only answer

We've got to save the world for our children
We've got to save the world for us all
It's the only one we've got and it won't take a lot
'Til we're living all for one and one for all
