1. DON'T BRING ME DOWN

Never been the man I meant to be
There's a shadow on my face
Always telling me the better things of life
It's time for me to leave this empty place

Never knew what I was waiting for
Time has come, no need to wait for the answer

Don't bring me down
No more fools can show the right way of livin'
Don't bring me down
Say you're never gonna bring me down

Always tried to be the one you need
You never noticed I felt sad
Now I know you didn't care about my life
Never thought that you could be so bad

Never knew what I was waiting for
Time has come, no need to wait for the answer

Don't bring me down
No more fools can show the right way of livin', oh
Don't bring me down
Say you're never gonna bring me down

Never knew what I was waiting for
Time has come, no need to wait for the answer

Don't bring me down
No more fools can show the right way of livin', oh
Don't bring me down
Say you're never gonna bring me down

Don't bring me, don't bring me down
No more fools can show the right way of livin', oh
Don't bring me down
Say you're never gonna bring me down


2. ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Some things in life are bad
they can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
don't grumble, give a whistle
And this will help things turn out for the best
and...

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing

When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
and...

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow

Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow

Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true

You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
and...

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
[repeat till end]

I mean, what have you got to lose?
You know, you've come from nothing,
you're going back to nothing!
What have you lost?
Nothing!


3. AMERICA

From West L.A. to New York City
Cleaning dishes in the wallstreet hype
Miss liberty and golden gate so pretty
And Uncle Sam is cleaning stars and stripes

We're all stickin' together
In the fields where we don't belong
But we gonna win now or never
So proud
Fightin' the streets for a trashcan-dinner

America, the promised land
Forever free and never dying
America, a dream comes true
A helping hand needs no denying

From New Orleans to "old" Milwaukee
Streets still not clean from colored men
The heartland of your heart is where your heart is
Can you afford to pay for not to die?

We all have to face it forever
We all have to dance with wolves
Can't you dig it, white nigger?
Take this
To live and let die is not the meaning of life

America, the promised land
Forever free and never dying
America, a dream comes true
A helping hand needs no denying

[Guitar solo]

America, the promised land
Forever free and never dying
America, a dream comes true
A helping hand needs no denying
