Compilations : A Wake-Up Call for the '90s
Lyrics
1. WAR PIGS
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord! Yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ‘til their Judgment Day comes, yeah!
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ‘til their Judgment Day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord! Yeah!
2. TRASH
It ain’t the way you crawl across the cathouse floor
It ain’t the way you curse me when you slam the bedroom door
It ain’t the way you sweat me for a handful of easy cash
It’s just the way you love me when you turn to...
Trash!
Trash!
It’s not the way you dress when you socialize
Oh, those eyes
It ain’t the diamond rock or that Rolls you drive
Oh, you can walk the streets with all your uptown flash
Such a flash
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to...
Trash
You’re such trash!
I love the way you look
You’re such high class tramp
It’s not the way you touch me when you...
You’re daddy’s dream
You’re a peach in cream
And you’re ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to...
Trash!
Trash!
I love the way you look
You’re such high class tramp
It’s not the way you touch me when you make me understand
You’re daddy’s dream
You’re a peach in cream
And you’re finally ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to...
Trash!
3. DIRTY WEAPONS
Strange games
Politicians
No match
It’s obsession
Twelve minutes
Made your mark
One sided
Shooting star
It’s getting really hard
To keep believing you
Don’t want to lose
Dirty weapons
But you’re never fighting fair
Dirty weapons
It turns deadly into dare
Locked on
Full trigger
Shot down
Interceptor
High price
Competition
No winner
Fatal decision
It’s getting really hard
To keep believing you
Don’t want to lose
Dirty weapons
But you’re never fighting fair
Dirty weapons
It turns deadly into dare
What’s it really going to take
To make you change your ways?
We don’t have time to waste
When we’re standing face to face
It’s getting really hard
To keep believing you
Don’t want to lose
Dirty weapons
But you’re never fighting fair
Dirty weapons
It turns deadly into dare
Dirty weapons
But you’re never fighting fair
Dirty weapons
It turns deadly into dare
It’s getting really hard
To keep believing you
Don’t want to lose
4. PARIS CALLING
Called you up just to hear your breath on the phone
I lie in bed and I shake for you all alone
Far away in a foreign land, my memory takes its stand
Hard to take for a man like me and hard for you to see
You believe what you want to believe
I must go where my soul wants to lead
I’m entranced by a land of romance
And a love that’s still waiting
When I feel my love burning
Deep inside my heart
I hear Paris calling every time
Seems there’s nothing left that’s right
Up and down the streets tonight
Tension builds inside my heart
Well, it tries to tear my world apart
I want to be where the night will remind me
Of the world in which you were beside me
It’s a dream I have hidden inside for love
My love is still waiting
When I feel my love burning
Deep inside my heart
I hear Paris calling every time
When I feel my love burning
Deep inside my heart
I hear Paris calling every time
I called you up just to hear your breath on the phone
When I feel my love burning
Deep inside my heart
I hear Paris calling every time
When I feel my love burning
Deep inside my heart
I hear Paris calling...
Every time
Every time
Every time
Every time
5. WAKING THE DEAD
Kept in the guard of Mother Nature’s womb
Resting in the safety of their tomb
Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock
The spade is the key with which their gate we’ll unlock
Why should they be resting so peacefully?
When we’re up above in pure misery
I don’t care that they’ve already died
That’s not enough to make me satisfied
So we wait till the stroke of the midnight hour
Then we’ll unleash the darkest of power
Hell’s gates will open a new judgment day
Now is the time that the dead will pay
Why should they be resting so peacefully?
When we’re up above in pure misery
I don’t care that they’ve already died
That’s not enough to make me satisfied
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
All rise!
Hell’s gates open the earth, trembles and shakes
Now their pardons are over, they pray for their mistakes
Mausoleums firebombed, now rage in flames
When the dead come out, their bodies we’ll maim
Rob!
Robbing their graves, stealing their bones
Bang!
Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
Fix!
Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
Soon!
Soon we will know how good it feels
This is not damnation or an act of God
Now the dead they rise, ripping through the sod
Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be
The dead are free, the dead are free!
Rob!
Robbing their graves, stealing their bones
Bang!
Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
Fix!
Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
Soon!
Soon we will know how good it feels
Waking the dead!
You said that it wouldn’t be
Waking the dead!
You said that we wouldn’t see
Waking the dead!
You said that it was all lies
Waking the dead!
Now the dead stand before our own eyes
Silence is blaring, the earth opens wide
History repeats, reburied they die
Darkness descends through nature’s pores
They return to their sleep on earth’s basement floor
Now they rest not so peacefully
As they’ve had a taste of our misery
I didn’t care that they’d already died
That wasn’t enough to make me satisfied
Return back to their tombs, now they lay
This is no game for the novice to play
Repeat not a word lest ye be forewarned
The punishment of hell’s darkness and scorn
Repeat not a word of the sermon said
A prayer for the dead, don’t play with the dead
Don’t try to comprehend what’s going on
You can’t understand, please, don’t understand
Waking the dead
And we’ll be
Waking the dead
All rise now
Waking the dead
We’re gonna wake the dead
Waking the dead
I said the words what have I done
I thought it cool, I thought it fun
The words I say they start to change
The syllables now rearranged
A language I can’t comprehend
I shut my mouth, it doesn’t end
The bowels of nature open wide
I cannot move, I cannot hide
I can’t believe the things I see
The dead are free, the dead are free
I close my eyes and pray it’s not real
Their presence close, coldness I feel
What have I done? Lord, please, forgive
Once they died, but now they live
I wake the dead, I wake the dead
I wake the dead, I wake the dead!
Cleanse the lepers
Cast out the demons
Wake the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!

(No lyrics available)
7. FUTURE TENSE
What do you see on the news when you watch TV?
War in the name of God or a playground killing spree
Politicians promise you the world and a preacher cries
All he ever wanted was your money and a bitch on the side
What went wrong?
Did society twist him?
What do you see in the center of the public eye?
Rock stars on smack and a serial killer fries
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our form of art
Brainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a part
What a shame
That they can’t think for themselves
Past tense to future tense
Let history unfold
So ends a decade
Now what will the nineties hold?
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age
Edge of an age!
Then another century will turn the page
What do you think they will say when they look back on this?
Were the eighties just a time of spoiled innocence?
We leave our legacy like dust in the sands of time
Let’s hope the seeds we plant can carry the weight of our crimes
Past tense to future tense
Let history unfold
So ends a decade
Now what will the nineties hold?
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age
Edge of an age!
Then another century will turn the page
We sail an ocean
A sea of doubt
Skeptics make no sense
Can’t work things out
I’ll choose optimism
Scream its name
Look to the future
A burning flame
Past tense to future tense
Let history unfold
So ends a decade
Now what will the nineties hold?
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age
Edge of an age!
Then another century will turn the page
Turn the page...
8. BROKEN DREAMS
I feel a hunger deep inside
I hear at voice at night calling out to me
Tryin’ to escape the doubt that holds me down
Can’t get beyond the wall that would set me free
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
I’ve felt the pain of losin’ once before
The memory’s almost gone but so is part of me
I’ve spent my life in search and wondering
My dreams aren’t made to live, they’re just meant to be...
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
That I’ve left behind...
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
Broken dreams...
9. BANG BANG
Bang! Bang!
It was a warm night on the south side of town
They said they’d seen ya
You were sneakin’ around with a stranger
Girl these rumors are drivin’ me mad
All my good friends
Turn their face to the wall when they see me
What the hell’s goin’ on?
Am I so blind that I can’t see when I’m being bad?
I know it’s silly
But girl I really thought we had a chance
I must’ve been crazy!
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
Girl you told me you were not like the rest
Then you showed me now you’re failing the test
It was easy just an urge in the heat of the nite
I believed you, now that’s all in the past
‘Cause I made some mistakes but I’m learnin’ fast
Never put your heart on the line
Never put your heart on the line
I know it’s silly
But girl I really thought we had a chance
I must’ve been crazy!
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
You shot me down
Shot me down
Bang! Bang!
10. WHO DIED AND MADE YOU GOD
I’m walkin’ down a crowded street
There’s always someone staring at me
Who died and made you God?!
Hey you, over there!
Why don’t you cut your hair?
Who died and made you God?!
I don’t know the reason why?
You’re not god, so then who died?
Who died and made you God?!
Well forget that now everyone
And now gather round let’s have fun
Who died and made you God?!
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Is there something wrong with you?
Why don’t you like the things we do
Who died and made you God?!
What are you looking at?
Do you want some friction back?
Who died and made you God?!
Think you own the world you say
That attitude is such a shame
Who died and made you God?!
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Freedom is a way of life
Who are you to criticize?
Who died and made you God?!
Play it safe, that’s your way
Take a chance, what are you afraid?
Who died and made you God?!
Put us down, treat us wrong
You and me we been belong
Who died and made you God?!
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?!
11. KILL TO SURVIVE
I live for killing because killing is my life
I kill for money, I don’t care who lives or dies
One hundred thousand for this wretched fucker’s life
One knife or bullet in his brain, he’ll fall tonight
I kill to survive
You’re gonna die tonight
You see the death that this night has brought to you
You see the blood flow, see the blade rip through
His corpse so cold and his eyes open wide
I got my cash, I don’t care who lived or died
I kill to survive
You’re gonna die tonight
Hunt you down, read your past
Find the way to take your life
Deal was made, you are next
No escape for you!
I’m paid to shoot, to rip, to slice, any man’s heart
I’m paid to finish any job I fuckin’ start
And in the end, if down to hell I go
I’ll make damn sure that I take down you too
I kill to survive
You’re gonna die tonight
Hunt you down, read your past
Find the way to take your life
Deal was made, you are next
No escape for you tonight!
12. SOME PAIN WILL LAST
Intense devastation of nature
Constructing a future for a man
The world is sold dirt cheap
For promises no one can ever keep
There is no hope, just decay
Creation leads only to chaos
The sea’s full of tears
They’ve created a new kind of pain that lasts forever
The very first years of your life
Mother makes things right
But soon you just cannot deny
This is only a lie
We live in a world of hate and deceit
Corruption and greed
Wait, my friend, you will see
Misery’s coming your way
Horror and pain reserved for you
Some pain will last
Last forever
Some pain will last
Eternal slaves of morbid minds
Helpless and blind
Dealers of heartless oppression
Controlling mankind
Resistance is quelled, birth incomplete
No chance to succeed
Those, those who don’t care if you live or die
Are never around to shoulder the blame
Some pain will last
Last forever
Some pain will last
Time, time flies fast you will feel
Still a child tomorrow you’ll be
A man full of hopes and dreams
Dreams are destroyed easily
So easily
Dreams are destroyed so easily!
Prepare, prepare for some pain unknown
Planned and arranged for so long
Chemical mutants arise
A generation born just to die
Born just to die
A whole generation born just to die!
Walking on thin ice
Lost in the storm’s eye
Desolated oceans that one day were teeming with life
They conquered all the forests and plundered all the seas
They tortured our souls and minds
With a pain that will last forever
13. HEY KID
Mama takes offence at you livin’ in sin
The system chews you up as you start to begin
Kids got tattoos, rings in his ears
Everything came true that his mama fears
Raised in a latrine on a dead end street
I was a gang bang scoundrel of the social elite
It’s the same old story, never get a second chance
The system never fails but you gotta make a stance
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
I got my education at the school of hard knocks
The pushers and the shovers, you can stuff your rocks
My teachers had the qualities you need for president
They were rich, two-faced and mentally bent
I broke out of school at the age of sixteen
I was a rebel rouser just like Jimmy Dean
I had a chip on my shoulder as big as the world
But I knew a thing or two about gettin’ the girls
I love those girls!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Oh, yeah!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa! Oh! Oh! Oh!...
14. KILLER
I am the living end
I have the touch
The last man on earth
I am your only friend
That ain’t saying much
I think you know what it’s worth
I’ve got things to do
People to be
I’m a man on the make
You want to stick around
That don’t bother me
Long as you got what it takes
You know my name
You’ve seen the writing on the barrom wall
I’m still the same
A little stronger
A little faster
Half demon
Half disaster
He’s a killer
When I walk in the door the men drop their drinks
And the woman drop their pants
Oh man, don’t get up, what are you thinking?
We didn’t come to dance
You see the boys and me don’t need company
Whatever we want we’ll take
We’re just looking for thrills, boredom kills
Just want to see you shake
You know my name
You’ve seen me coming in the mirror
I’m still the same
A little older
A little wiser
A solitary surpriser
He’s the killer
Here’s a couple a grand, baby light up
Whatever is mine is ours
I got three or four in a bag in the trunk
That’s the privilege of power
You want love, lust, money, a room with a view
I’ll give you everything a love can steal
Come on, baby, I’m talking to you
Yeah, it’s time to make a deal
You know my name
You’ve heard me screaming on the radio
I’m still the same
A little sharper
A little cuter
Created by computer
He’s the killer
You know my name
You’ve seen it panted on the subway doors
I’m still the same
A little darker
A little thinner
I’m gonna have you for dinner
I’m the killer
He’s a killer
15. LOVE TO THE BONE
Way down on the bayou
Sure been good to me
Southern girls and southern nights
Laughin’ in the moonlight
From Caroline to New Orleans
I think I can confide
I’ve seen some sights that you
Won’t find in any tourist guide
Travelin’ round from state to state
Never want, never wait for love
I know those Dixie belles have found
You just can’t keep a good man down
Loved to the bone
Wherever I roam
All the way home
I’ve been loved to the bone
New York in the spring time
Sets my heart on fire
From Harlem to the battery
Women sure look pretty
Take a stroll through Central Park
Or a little carriage ride
And turn the apple inside out
And move on down the line
North and South, East and West
On the lookout for the best and I know
Ain’t lookin’ for a reputation
Just can’t stay in one place, no
Loved to the bone
Wherever I roam
All the way home
I’ve been loved to the bone
Drive all night, gonna get me to the city
Slip into gear, lookin’ for trouble
I’m gonna get high, gonna drink a lot of red wine
Loved to the bone
Wherever I roam
All the way home
I’ve been loved to the bone
Loved to the bone
I won’t ever come home
No, I’ll never come home
I just keep on ridin’ along...
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord! Yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ‘til their Judgment Day comes, yeah!
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ‘til their Judgment Day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord! Yeah!
2. TRASH
It ain’t the way you crawl across the cathouse floor
It ain’t the way you curse me when you slam the bedroom door
It ain’t the way you sweat me for a handful of easy cash
It’s just the way you love me when you turn to...
Trash!
Trash!
It’s not the way you dress when you socialize
Oh, those eyes
It ain’t the diamond rock or that Rolls you drive
Oh, you can walk the streets with all your uptown flash
Such a flash
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to...
Trash
You’re such trash!
I love the way you look
You’re such high class tramp
It’s not the way you touch me when you...
You’re daddy’s dream
You’re a peach in cream
And you’re ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to...
Trash!
Trash!
I love the way you look
You’re such high class tramp
It’s not the way you touch me when you make me understand
You’re daddy’s dream
You’re a peach in cream
And you’re finally ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to...
Trash!

4. PARIS CALLING
Called you up just to hear your breath on the phone
I lie in bed and I shake for you all alone
Far away in a foreign land, my memory takes its stand
Hard to take for a man like me and hard for you to see
You believe what you want to believe
I must go where my soul wants to lead
I’m entranced by a land of romance
And a love that’s still waiting

Well, it tries to tear my world apart
I want to be where the night will remind me

It’s a dream I have hidden inside for love

When I feel my love burning
Deep inside my heart
I hear Paris calling...
Every time
Every time
Every time
Every time
5. WAKING THE DEAD
Kept in the guard of Mother Nature’s womb
Resting in the safety of their tomb
Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock
The spade is the key with which their gate we’ll unlock
Why should they be resting so peacefully?
When we’re up above in pure misery
I don’t care that they’ve already died
That’s not enough to make me satisfied
So we wait till the stroke of the midnight hour
Then we’ll unleash the darkest of power
Hell’s gates will open a new judgment day
Now is the time that the dead will pay
Why should they be resting so peacefully?
When we’re up above in pure misery
I don’t care that they’ve already died
That’s not enough to make me satisfied
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
All rise!
Hell’s gates open the earth, trembles and shakes
Now their pardons are over, they pray for their mistakes
Mausoleums firebombed, now rage in flames
When the dead come out, their bodies we’ll maim
Rob!
Robbing their graves, stealing their bones
Bang!
Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
Fix!
Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
Soon!
Soon we will know how good it feels
This is not damnation or an act of God
Now the dead they rise, ripping through the sod
Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be
The dead are free, the dead are free!
Rob!
Robbing their graves, stealing their bones
Bang!
Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
Fix!
Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
Soon!
Soon we will know how good it feels
Waking the dead!
You said that it wouldn’t be

Waking the dead
And we’ll be
Waking the dead
All rise now
Waking the dead
We’re gonna wake the dead
Waking the dead
I said the words what have I done
I thought it cool, I thought it fun
The words I say they start to change
The syllables now rearranged
A language I can’t comprehend
I shut my mouth, it doesn’t end
The bowels of nature open wide

Cleanse the lepers
Cast out the demons
Wake the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!
Waking the dead!

7. FUTURE TENSE
What do you see on the news when you watch TV?
War in the name of God or a playground killing spree
Politicians promise you the world and a preacher cries
All he ever wanted was your money and a bitch on the side
What went wrong?
Did society twist him?
What do you see in the center of the public eye?
Rock stars on smack and a serial killer fries
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our form of art
Brainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a part
What a shame
That they can’t think for themselves
Past tense to future tense
Let history unfold
So ends a decade
Now what will the nineties hold?
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age
Edge of an age!
Then another century will turn the page
What do you think they will say when they look back on this?
Were the eighties just a time of spoiled innocence?
We leave our legacy like dust in the sands of time
Let’s hope the seeds we plant can carry the weight of our crimes
Past tense to future tense
Let history unfold
So ends a decade
Now what will the nineties hold?
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age
Edge of an age!
Then another century will turn the page
We sail an ocean
A sea of doubt
Skeptics make no sense
Can’t work things out
I’ll choose optimism
Scream its name
Look to the future
A burning flame
Past tense to future tense
Let history unfold
So ends a decade
Now what will the nineties hold?
You know we’re verging on the edge of an age
Edge of an age!
Then another century will turn the page
Turn the page...
8. BROKEN DREAMS
I feel a hunger deep inside
I hear at voice at night calling out to me
Tryin’ to escape the doubt that holds me down
Can’t get beyond the wall that would set me free
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
I’ve felt the pain of losin’ once before
The memory’s almost gone but so is part of me
I’ve spent my life in search and wondering
My dreams aren’t made to live, they’re just meant to be...
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
That I’ve left behind...
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left worth fighting for
Broken dreams
I ask the reasons why
Broken dreams
There’s nothing left of dreams before
Just shattered pieces that I’ve left behind
Broken dreams...
9. BANG BANG
Bang! Bang!
It was a warm night on the south side of town
They said they’d seen ya
You were sneakin’ around with a stranger
Girl these rumors are drivin’ me mad
All my good friends
Turn their face to the wall when they see me
What the hell’s goin’ on?
Am I so blind that I can’t see when I’m being bad?
I know it’s silly
But girl I really thought we had a chance
I must’ve been crazy!
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
Girl you told me you were not like the rest
Then you showed me now you’re failing the test
It was easy just an urge in the heat of the nite
I believed you, now that’s all in the past
‘Cause I made some mistakes but I’m learnin’ fast
Never put your heart on the line
Never put your heart on the line
I know it’s silly
But girl I really thought we had a chance
I must’ve been crazy!
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
What’s that sound?
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang! Bang!
You’re so cool
Playin’ a game, someday you’re gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
You shot me down
Shot me down
Bang! Bang!
10. WHO DIED AND MADE YOU GOD
I’m walkin’ down a crowded street
There’s always someone staring at me
Who died and made you God?!
Hey you, over there!
Why don’t you cut your hair?
Who died and made you God?!
I don’t know the reason why?
You’re not god, so then who died?
Who died and made you God?!
Well forget that now everyone
And now gather round let’s have fun
Who died and made you God?!
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Is there something wrong with you?
Why don’t you like the things we do
Who died and made you God?!
What are you looking at?
Do you want some friction back?
Who died and made you God?!
Think you own the world you say
That attitude is such a shame
Who died and made you God?!
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Freedom is a way of life
Who are you to criticize?
Who died and made you God?!
Play it safe, that’s your way
Take a chance, what are you afraid?
Who died and made you God?!
Put us down, treat us wrong
You and me we been belong
Who died and made you God?!
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?
Well who died and made you God?!
11. KILL TO SURVIVE
I live for killing because killing is my life
I kill for money, I don’t care who lives or dies
One hundred thousand for this wretched fucker’s life
One knife or bullet in his brain, he’ll fall tonight
I kill to survive
You’re gonna die tonight
You see the death that this night has brought to you
You see the blood flow, see the blade rip through
His corpse so cold and his eyes open wide
I got my cash, I don’t care who lived or died
I kill to survive
You’re gonna die tonight
Hunt you down, read your past
Find the way to take your life
Deal was made, you are next
No escape for you!
I’m paid to shoot, to rip, to slice, any man’s heart
I’m paid to finish any job I fuckin’ start
And in the end, if down to hell I go
I’ll make damn sure that I take down you too
I kill to survive
You’re gonna die tonight
Hunt you down, read your past
Find the way to take your life
Deal was made, you are next
No escape for you tonight!
12. SOME PAIN WILL LAST
Intense devastation of nature
Constructing a future for a man
The world is sold dirt cheap
For promises no one can ever keep
There is no hope, just decay
Creation leads only to chaos
The sea’s full of tears
They’ve created a new kind of pain that lasts forever
The very first years of your life
Mother makes things right
But soon you just cannot deny
This is only a lie
We live in a world of hate and deceit
Corruption and greed
Wait, my friend, you will see
Misery’s coming your way
Horror and pain reserved for you
Some pain will last
Last forever
Some pain will last
Eternal slaves of morbid minds
Helpless and blind
Dealers of heartless oppression
Controlling mankind
Resistance is quelled, birth incomplete
No chance to succeed
Those, those who don’t care if you live or die
Are never around to shoulder the blame
Some pain will last
Last forever
Some pain will last
Time, time flies fast you will feel
Still a child tomorrow you’ll be
A man full of hopes and dreams
Dreams are destroyed easily
So easily
Dreams are destroyed so easily!
Prepare, prepare for some pain unknown
Planned and arranged for so long
Chemical mutants arise
A generation born just to die
Born just to die
A whole generation born just to die!
Walking on thin ice
Lost in the storm’s eye
Desolated oceans that one day were teeming with life
They conquered all the forests and plundered all the seas
They tortured our souls and minds
With a pain that will last forever
13. HEY KID
Mama takes offence at you livin’ in sin
The system chews you up as you start to begin
Kids got tattoos, rings in his ears
Everything came true that his mama fears
Raised in a latrine on a dead end street
I was a gang bang scoundrel of the social elite
It’s the same old story, never get a second chance
The system never fails but you gotta make a stance
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
I got my education at the school of hard knocks
The pushers and the shovers, you can stuff your rocks
My teachers had the qualities you need for president
They were rich, two-faced and mentally bent
I broke out of school at the age of sixteen
I was a rebel rouser just like Jimmy Dean
I had a chip on my shoulder as big as the world
But I knew a thing or two about gettin’ the girls
I love those girls!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Oh, yeah!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Look what ya did
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa oh!
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Mama blew her lid
Hey Kid! Hey Kid!
Whoa! Oh! Oh! Oh!...
14. KILLER
I am the living end
I have the touch
The last man on earth
I am your only friend
That ain’t saying much
I think you know what it’s worth
I’ve got things to do
People to be
I’m a man on the make
You want to stick around
That don’t bother me
Long as you got what it takes
You know my name
You’ve seen the writing on the barrom wall
I’m still the same
A little stronger
A little faster
Half demon
Half disaster
He’s a killer
When I walk in the door the men drop their drinks
And the woman drop their pants
Oh man, don’t get up, what are you thinking?
We didn’t come to dance
You see the boys and me don’t need company
Whatever we want we’ll take
We’re just looking for thrills, boredom kills
Just want to see you shake
You know my name
You’ve seen me coming in the mirror
I’m still the same
A little older
A little wiser
A solitary surpriser
He’s the killer
Here’s a couple a grand, baby light up
Whatever is mine is ours
I got three or four in a bag in the trunk
That’s the privilege of power
You want love, lust, money, a room with a view
I’ll give you everything a love can steal
Come on, baby, I’m talking to you
Yeah, it’s time to make a deal
You know my name
You’ve heard me screaming on the radio
I’m still the same
A little sharper
A little cuter
Created by computer
He’s the killer
You know my name
You’ve seen it panted on the subway doors
I’m still the same
A little darker
A little thinner
I’m gonna have you for dinner
I’m the killer
He’s a killer
15. LOVE TO THE BONE
Way down on the bayou
Sure been good to me
Southern girls and southern nights
Laughin’ in the moonlight
From Caroline to New Orleans
I think I can confide
I’ve seen some sights that you
Won’t find in any tourist guide
Travelin’ round from state to state
Never want, never wait for love
I know those Dixie belles have found
You just can’t keep a good man down
Loved to the bone
Wherever I roam
All the way home
I’ve been loved to the bone
New York in the spring time
Sets my heart on fire
From Harlem to the battery
Women sure look pretty
Take a stroll through Central Park
Or a little carriage ride
And turn the apple inside out
And move on down the line
North and South, East and West
On the lookout for the best and I know
Ain’t lookin’ for a reputation
Just can’t stay in one place, no
Loved to the bone
Wherever I roam
All the way home
I’ve been loved to the bone
Drive all night, gonna get me to the city
Slip into gear, lookin’ for trouble
I’m gonna get high, gonna drink a lot of red wine
Loved to the bone
Wherever I roam
All the way home
I’ve been loved to the bone
Loved to the bone
I won’t ever come home
No, I’ll never come home
I just keep on ridin’ along...
