1. BELIEVE IN ME

When I was a young boy
Said some man parted some sea
They said believe in us
Why should they lie to me

Now I'm not a young boy
What I believe is what I believe
But I still get fooled sometimes
It's so goddamned easy
(Girl Part)

Now that I'm a grown man
Be the best that I can be
Been down every rocky road
And I'm bloodied at my knees
But I treat you like a princess
Never ask to be the king
Just believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Yeah yeah
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me

I'd climb any mountain
Yeah I'd cross any sea
I might break down and cry
But I'd drop down my bottle of rye
If you'd just believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me
Where does it leave me
When you don't believe in me

But I'm still my own man
Yeah I'm still my own man
And I do what I can
And while you're treating me raw
I still make my own law
I still make my own law

Come on
Believe in me
Believe in me
Yeah....me
Believe in me
Yeah
Come on
Believe in me
Can't you see just believe in me
Come on
Believe in me
Yeah yeah
Believe in me


2. I LOVE YOU

It's been four months since
You gone away
My bed is empty and my heart
Still feels the pain yeah the pain

I see your picture in a magazine
I look away still see you starin' at me
At me

[Chorus]
I walk the streets at night
And there's no one else in my sight but you
In my mind

Cause I still love you
Yeah I still love you
I

Buy a ticket to a subway train
A one-way token just to end my pain
From you yeah from you
Ticket says destination unknown
The car stops and I'm back at home all alone
Without you without you

[Chorus]

Cause I still love you
Yeah I still love you
I

I saw you at a restaurant down on 42nd Street
Drinkin' red wine and laughin'
I kept walkin' by myself with a bottle of rye
I don't need you baby

And you're foolin' yourself when you say
You don't need me
I said you're foolin' yourself
When you say you don't need me

And I'm lyin' fallin' down in the alley
Yeah I'm lyin' to myself as I'm screamin'

[Chorus]

I saw some chick the other day
She had a smile that looked so cool
It looked like you so I walked away

My eyes are tired but I still look cool
My tears are past
And I don't need you, don't need you, need you

"If you thought I needed you why
Would I be lookin' at chicks and
Lookin' at French fashion magazines"


3. MAN IN THE MEADOW

Extra extra read all about my
Loss of sanity
I have often wondered what my
Life really means to me
Wasted days and broken dreams
Let it all slip away from me
And if you pick up the pieces of
A broken man, you'll find a
Fan of the family
Yeah the family

[Chorus]
Now you're all alone
In the meadow
Sedate your lonely soul
With the man in the meadow
No need to telephone
When you're out in the meadow
Cause you live your life alone
With the man in the meadow
And me

Saw a friend of mine
Guess he just didn't see me
Looked into his eyes
And he walked right through me
He lived a life of alibies and
Broken ties that set him free yeah
Free, yeah free

And why'd this dream fade so fast
And why am I lookin' towards
The past to set me free
From me and my family
My family yeah yeah

Set down beside your grave
At peace with God and the holy slave
We're gathered here to shed a tear
And think about our goddamn mortal years
You had your start
You made your mark
And then you turn around
And leave us in the dark, fuck
In the dark

[Chorus]


4. (F@*KED UP) BEYOND BELIEF

"This is a warning"

You got democracy, debauchery,
And a communist regime
They tore, that wall down just to keep people happy
But it goes back up again

The tax man cometh and he takes
All your money away
Tax bracket, what a racket
They spend it like two-bit thieves

The monster came up its ugly head
And it's just enough to keep
Your children fed?
You stumble, you get up and then you heave
Man, it's so fucked up beyond belief


5. COULD IT BE U

Could it be you
Might be my woman
Could it be you
The one that makes me feel like a
Man - yeah

Saw your gaze
It put me in a haze
It was amazing
I saw a little girl
Put me in a whirl
Just left me gazing

The one that makes me feel like a strong man
'Cause that's what I am

Came across this grace
Put me in my place
Baby
I'm still learning
That life is young
Past things I've done
Just for you
I'm yearning

Could it be you
Could it be true
The one that makes me feel like a man
Could it be you
Could it be you
I'm still learning
I'm still learning


6. JUST NOT THERE

"Why does everything always end
Up feeling so goddamn cold"

Once again I woke up this morning
And a warm spot still long cold gone
Then smell of you and your sweet perfume
Still lingers on, lingers on, lingers on

[Chorus]
I wrap my arms around you
But all I get is icy cold yeah

Run my hands through
Your long blonde hair
But once again you're just not there
Just not there

You know I look but just can't find the reasons
To face another day
Cause I feel like crawling up inside girl
Just fading away, fading away, fading away...

[Chorus]

That's alright, girl
I want you to know that I'll keep on walking
I got both my feet on the ground
And check it out I'm gonna stick it to you

Yesterday I met a girl just like you
She had the same smile and same sweet perfume
So I turned around and walked away
Me, my blade and my bottle of blues
My bottle of blues
My bottle of blues

[Chorus] (x2)

That's alright, girl
I keep walking (x5)


7. PUNK ROCK SONG

Hate/Pain/Greed/Suc-cess/Ooh

You got somethin' to say to me
Well say it to my face
I'm so sick of society
That says I'm out of place
I come around, you run and
Hide, pretend you don't know me
The time will come, you'll pay
The price, just wait and see

You try to cramp my style,
When that word means nothin' to me
Just go away, you're fuckin' decay
And you thought you had the
Right to kick dirt at me?

And now I got a great big
House and my dick' real hard
Was that your daughter with blonde hair, I think
I got her pink panties man, send her back over
You let life mean nothing man
Worth of status went too far
All this shit you see, never
Meant dick to me

I saw the news, I've read the lines
I've seen it for myself
Now you're the ones I clearly see
That really need some help
So now you ask me to join your
Club of upper society
You twist shit up, you turn around
You think you're the picture of morality


8. THE MAJORITY

You call me the mean man
You point your finger at me
Having problems with authority
In every major city

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you
The majority

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need you to be I'll be me to the end

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

You got to think about your children
Fuck bureaucracy
Take the weight off your shoulders
We're not the public enemy
Can't you see, can't you see

You call me the mean man
I say you call me the mean man

And it's so easy for you,
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need you to be
Cause I'll be me to the end

Got to think about the children,
Think think about the children

You got to think about the children


9. 10 YEARS

It's been a long time since I've seen you, baby

Then you call came across my telephone
Said old friends are meeting
Will you come up maybe

I said I'll try to make it
You left me talking to a tone

Ten years didn't seem so long
Has it been that long, baby
Has it been that long since I've gone away

Many days and nights have passed since
I've seen you, mama
So many things have passed your eyes
A ring has come and gone from my finger, baby
I've stumbled, fallen down and yes I've even cried

It's been ten years since
I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since
I've whispered in your ear
Let's celebrate now that we're home

(Whisper) It's been a long time
Since I've seen you, yeah!
You're a memory from the past
That'll always last
But life goes on, but it's been
So long...etc.

I think about the past, it's gone away so fast
I'm still the same human being
I've travelled many miles and all just the while
I've learned about the things I've seen
It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered sweet in your ear

Let's celebrate now that we're home

It's been ten years since I've seen you, baby
Since I've promised you the moon
It's been that long since I've whispered in your ear
Maybe I'll call ya or just see ya
Soon


10. SWAMP SONG

I don't really need the ego
Of being a pop star
Playing rock & roll makes
Me stand hard & tall
Once an old man with blood on his hands
Said "Pick up my guitar and use it"
The he took it from me said"
Let your soul run free"

[Chorus]
People get so stuck on getting their name in lights
Fuckin' some famous model
Keepin' their assholes tight

So I played that guitar
Til my dick got hard
I fucked that bitch night & day
Time went by and that old man died
Got a note "Remember what I said"
Brought flowers to his grave
Laid 'em down, and my fingers
Started to bleed I was finally free
I was finally free yeah

[Chorus]

Uh uh uh
Don't get me wrong I ain't singin'
This song bout bros who truly deserve it
But money & fame is for those truly lame.
The ones who need to get their heads lit
So I play my guitar, Yeah I played
That bitch all night long
Yeah I played my guitar I was finally free

[Chorus]

So keep your head clear don't believe what you hear
Just play what comes from your soul
But if money & fame is your fuckin' game
Then I hope you die fat and old


11. TROUBLE

Trouble always follows me
But trouble ain't a bad place to be
I'll get my shit by it, if I can
But I stand on my own, and I'm my own man

The only age I know is the dark age
All the people I know put me in a cage
The only age I know is the dark age
The only light I know is in this dark space
I'm the portrait of your patronization
Have you ever looked at my face?

They try to make a mess out of me
They're heading for a social catastrophe

They try to make a mess out of me
Alienation, false masturbation, incrimination
My soul salvation, discrimination, isolation
No consolation here

Always follow me (x7)


12. F@*K YOU

"Come on Doc tell it like it is A bitch is a bitch and you been dissed"

"This is Doc from the mob
And I about to step to ya"
I'm a tell a lil tale about a trifle ass crook
She was the love of my life yeah well that's a joke
We got home early from tour about a quarter to seven
After 6 months of hell I missed my lil piece of heaven
Duff dropped me by the pad about nine fifteen
Me benz was in the drive way wait mine's black and that's dark green
The door was ajar I threw a clip in my nine
I dropped my hat on disgust my girl was blown his mind
I couldn't believe it she was sitting there had knee pads
On and everything beat this

She had the nerve to ask
"What you doin home so soon"
Bitch this is my world, my house and my room
As she tried to explain with fake tears in her eyes
I despised the past love and believing her lies
Just pack your shit and honey leave my ring
She left with what she came with not a goddamn thing
I said honey you lost/now you're a mirage
So get that shit out of my driveway
And the fuck outta
Dodge Matt Dillon's gonna run your ass out
I don't really need you

And I don't really want you baby
Said I
I don't really care
I don't really need you mama
Said no more no more

This bed that you made's a been torn and tattered
And it smells like another man

This bottle that I drink is for you baby
You've made me just a meaner man
I did all I could every change I got
Bought you diamonds pearls even gave you my rock
But you tThrew it away on a 6-month fling
This motherfucker's a square
Can't even sing
So you ladies be warned don't diss my crew
Cause my crew will do for me
Before you will do
But we got each other back
Enough's enough
That's Doc from the Mob and my homeboy Duff

That's me that's right I'm sick of
Hearing la de da le de da
From your ass

I don't really want you, baby

Said I don't really care
I - I don't really need you, mama
Said no more no more

This bed that you made's a been
Torn and tattered
And it smells like another man

This bottle that I drink is for you now, baby
You've made me just a meaner man, yeah


You said you'd really take care of me
Instead you just made me bleed
How's that make you feel, huh?

See I don't know what you're thinkin
My name's Doc not Nintendo
You can't play me
So don't call, don't come see me
I want you to leave the keys to my house
Leave the keys to my car
Leave me the keys to me home-boy's car
Cause I know you got his keys
Ice Cube said it best "A bitch is a bitch"
"Yo, Duff let's get out of here.
Wait a minute this is my motherfuckin house"
"That's right man"


13. LONELY TONITE

Do you remember walkin' hand in hand
Did you understand, well, I did
We used to listened to that song
"Are you lonely tonight?"
I think the king sang it

I'm lonely tonite
Yeah lonely tonight
That's right

I used to read you bedtime stories

I'm so lonely tonite
I'm so lonely, so lonely tonite

Remember you used to protect me
From my fright
Now I stand here with a bottle in my hand
Who cares? What's different?

Tonite Tonite
