1. DON'T TREAD ON ME

Freedom rider
On a midnight cruise
On my way
I got nothing to lose

Sister mercy
Gonna take my hand
Lead me over
To the promised land

But you'd better not
Set your sights on me
'Cause it just might spoil your victory

Chorus:
Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me
Don't you try
And make some fool of me
Don't you tread on me

We walked the gound
Of ancient ones
Lit the fire
With a rising sun

You and me
We got a full on rage
Won't get fooled
No I won't be caged

Make love not war
Was you claim to fame
Now you're takin' me down
Well I won't be tamed

Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me
Don't you try
And make some fool of me
Don't you tread on me

You better turn and walk away
(Don't tread on me)
I'd like to love another day
Yeah and I know you need to hear me say
All I want is you

After Guitar Solo:
Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me

Don't you try
And make some fool of me
Don't you tread on

Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me

Don't you try
And make us enemies
Don't you tread on

Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me

Don't you dare forget your history
Don't you tread on me


2. FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME

Young, rich and famous
What you want to be
You give it everything you got
But your sympathy
Been with everybody in the magazines
You know you're spinning so fast
That you're runing out of fantasies

What you want is
What you need is
Whata you're willing to be
It's so strange
You feel so insane
It's like--who's that talking to me
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

What you gonna give me
To ease the pain
When it's all over
Won't know your name
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

No satisfaction
Your simple creed
You know you pour in everyone you got
Just to fill the need
No doubt you're witness
To a major scene
But you better not lose your touch
Or you're history

What you want is
What you need is
What you're willing to be
It's so starange
You feel so insane
It's like--who's that talking to me
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

It's a risky business
It's a liar's game
Into the spotlight and out again
Come and get your 15
Your 15 minutes of fame
Here's your 15 minutes of fame

It's a risky business
It's a liar's game
Into the spotlight and out again
Come and get your 15
Your 15 minutes of fame


3. WHERE YOU GOIN'NOW

There's a face ind the mirror
And you close your eyes
Much easier to turn away
Than to take a look inside
So you're thinking it's over
Walking away
Let your little world crash and burn
Oh, what a price to pay

Didn't anybody tell you
It's not who's right or wrong?
Hold the line
Is this what's going on?

Where you going now?
when your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will

There's a crack in the mirror
There's a hole in the sun
Fullmoon in the midnight sky
And you feel like you wanna run
So you blow out the candle
And you turn off the light
Then you stumble into darkness
Do you believe that love is blind?

Didn't anybody tell you
It's never too late to try?
Hold the line
Before you say goodbye

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will

Now I'm not talking 'bout what's good for me
And I'm not saying, how you ought to be
But if there is a message shining on through to you
Take a little piece of mind
And let your love light shine

Didn't anybody tell you
It's never too late to try?
Hold the line
Before you say goodbye

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
Gonna be there yes I will


4. DIRTY DOG

Can't you see I'm a lovable man
Got a plaque on the wall
Baby can I help you understand
Times a-wastin' and I'm ready to rock
Well did I show you omy clock
It's got diamonds all around the band
Try to touch you, you push me away

All I hear you say is
Get down dirty dog
You don't know right from wrong
And I'm not one of your bitches
Get back you dirty dog
Been messin' where you don't belong
Stop sniffin' round my britches

Can't take it when you're callin' me names
Yeah I think it's a shame
You can do me like the way you do
You big teaser now you throw me bone
Then you hurry me home
Honey what am I supposed to do
I don't deserve it
You're makin' me pay

You push me away when you say
Get down dirty dog
You don't know right from wrong
And I'm not one of your bitches
You said get back you dirty dog
Been messin' where you don't belong
Stop sniffin' round my britches

Well that's a dog gone lie
You gotta give me a try
I'm walkin' out that door
Ain't gonna scratch no more
Gonna sever my relation
Dig a little deeper hole
Get a little self control
One more night out in the cold
Face down in my doggie bowl

She said
Get down dirty dog
You don't know right from wrong
And I'm not one of your bitches
Get back you dirty dog
Been messin' where you don't belong
Stop sniffin' round my britches


5. MISTER PLEASE

Mister please
Won't you tell me I'm alright
I'm so lonely
I been thinking I could die
I got me a woman
She bled her soul
All over me

Calling out
All them sinners bound for hell
Ain't no stranger
Been down that road before

So brother brother
Won't you tell me I'm alright

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

Smoking mother nature into the dust
Yeah that's all I see
Praying to gods that are made out of rust
And thinking what you might have been
Now I suppose I could change my vows
Yeah that's all I need

Maybe some day you'll find me fishing
For the lock that fits with my key
Gonna change it baby that me

Ah, ah, hey mister

Never one to count
Take a look at my life
What a work of art I see
Got no love baby living off the tracks
With the chains and the shackles on me
Now I'm with you

Gonna head on south
Sliding down to Mexico way
Maybe someday you'll find me sitting
On a beach where the palm-ah trees sway
And heaven's just a little kiss away

Won't you help me mister please
Now I suppose I could change my vows
Yeah that's all I need

Maybe someday you'll find me fishing
For the lock that fits with my key
Gonna change it baby that's me
Won't you help me mister please

Mister please
Won't you tell me I'm alright
I'm so lonely
I been thinking I could die
I got this woman
She bled her soul all over me
Now I think I'm crazy
What you gonna do with me

Mister please


6. SILENCE IS BROKEN

Never again
You say the words and let
The sunshine in again
You can close your eyes
And know it's safe inside
To sing you lullaby

Now I lay me down

You broke the chains
And you won't be silent anymore
Oh no! Now you're gonna shout about it
No! No more! Yeah yeah this is the end

The silence is broken now
It's over now
The words have been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
The tears of another time

Face to face
Anyone can see you're not
The child you were before

Now I lay you down

You take your place
No one can take away your heart
Oh no! There can be no doubt about it
No! No more! Yeah yeah this is the end

The silence is broken now
It's over now
The truth has been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
Yeah

Never again
You say the words and let
The sunshine in again
You can change the world
No one can take away your heart

The silence is broken now
It's over now
The words have been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
The tears of another time

The silence is broken now
It's over now
The truth has been spoken
And with every word you say
You blow away
The scene of another crime


7. FIREFLY

Haven't I seen your face before
You greased the handles on my door
Took me for a ride
Down lover's highway

Uh huh, oh yeah
Let's shake it up

Next time you're going my way
I don't want you comin' down
Spread your lightning all around

Yeah that's right baby
Let your firefly
Let your firefly

Well pretty faces turn to stone
Pack their bags and head for home
When I dress you in that little next to nothing

Uh huh
I don't think I need you now
Or what

You got to let me know
How far you want to go
Is it yes or no
Unless unless you let me know we never ever ever
Ever gonna get started

Some people never learn
That you just might get burned
Now you just say the word
Come on say it say it to me to me come on
Now say it to me

Once you get started it's hard to get off the road that you're on
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly


8. SOMEONE TO BELIEVE

There was a time
When a man lived by his word
And the simple truth
Was not so hard to take
When his enemies
Were thousands of miles away
And he stood by
The promises he'd make

All that I ask for
All that I need
Is someone that I can believe

Yeah
Just like the air
That we breathe in a single day
To a drowning man
How much do you think he'd pay

All that I ask for
All that I need
Is someone that I can believe

When I listen to the things you try to say
Any ordinary man would fade away
But if you want I'm ready to receive

I know that I can believe
Every word you say
And the love you give away
Goes straight to my heart
And everything you do
And how you follow through
Can keep us together
Or tear us apart

When I listen to the things you try to say
Any ordinary man would fade away
But if you want I'm ready to receive

Well I would not have it any other way
I know that I
I know that I
I know that I can believe

Yeah
And I am listening
To every word you say


9. THIS SIDE OF HELL

I don't want to talk
That much about anything
And I don't want to know
About who you been seeing

My will is on
And I can't say no
The feeling's strong
But I can't let go
Baby

You got me living this side of hell
Living this side oh well
You got me salivating
Was it Pavlov's intention
Living this side of hell

I don't know much
About wide-eyed innocence
Or hanging around
Withou your cheap intelligence
My brain went south
As I hit the floor
And all I want is more and more
Honey

You got me living this side of hell
Living this side oh well
While I was goin' to school
You bent me over the rules
Living this side of hell

I come around
And start to knock at your door
I hear a voice say
"She don't live here no more"
That's it for me
I guess I don't get to score
And then you woo me, you do me,
You chew me up and spit me out

You keepin' it up
'Til a quarter to three
That little bitty thang
Got a hold on me
Honey

What you doin' to me
What yo tryin' to do
What you tryin' to do to me

Got me living this side of hell
Living this side oh well
I'm in way over my head
Why can't I be like Ted
Living this side of hell

Got me living this side of hell
You got me living this side oh well
Is it your good intention
Or a crisis intervention

Got me living this side of hell
Living this side
Living this side
Living this side
Living this side of hell


10. DOUBLE COYOTE

I was standing on the corner
With a suitcase in my hand
There was a woman right behind me
Sayin' honey won't you be a man
I said I'd love to baby
But I've got to go be with the band

I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go honey go
Double coyote man
I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
Double coyote man

I couldn't believe it when somebody said
You was out on the road with another band

I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
Double coyote man

I couldn't believe it when somebody said
You was out on the road in the back of
The bus with the opening act and the
Technical crew and the manager too
What's the matter with you



11. UPRISING

Thunder on the mountain
Fire in the sky
The rainbow is my brother
I will choose to live or die

A stampede on the prairie
That brings me to my knees
My spirit is the eagle
And he will set me free

Another night of horror
The streets are living hell
The gangland has no honor
Just that dying smell

Where is the vigilante
He is better than the knave
Life's a penny ante
I refuse to be a slave
Because I am an uprising citizen
Red man

When you feel an uprising
And your blood runs cold
You dig a little deeper
To the bottom of the hole
Oh our time has come
Oh our time
Uprising

When you feel an uprising
And your blood runs cold
You look a little deeper
To the bottom of your soul
Oh our time has come
Oh our time

Uprising
You dig a little deeper
To the bottom of the hole

Uprising
