1. ROCKIN' CHAIR

You want love
You get hate
Oh you push and you shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one
You build it up
To tear it down
Runnin out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
When you came
You played rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't good enough
on't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun
You fool with me
You gotta understand
That you don't get to choose
Whe night comes around
I can't be found
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
Red sky burnin'
Won't be no returnin' so long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
Yeah I'm gone
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
I need my rockin'
But I don't need no rockin' chair


2. MAMA

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You got to show a little givin'
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me

We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accountin'
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can

Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me


3. ONLY A MEMORY

Well he was born
His father's pride and joy
His young life scored
Before it began
Dressed up in blue
His mother's only boy
Someday this child
Would have to be a man

He went to school
Shiny and white as pearl
They did not teach
The things he should learn
Things he would need in this deceitful world
Which way to run or which way to turn

He became strong
Everyone looked to him
One of the boys
A beacon in the night
And when he spoke
People would gather in
They would stay close
He'd make them feel alright

One one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright

He wasn't scared
He had no fear at all
Said his goodbyes
And marched off to war
As he looked back
He heard his mother call
Said she be waiting
At Heaven's door

Soon to be killed
Left on a muddy field
All of his thoughts
Were scattered just like seed
He never knew
Threw up his arms and reeled
He felt no pain
His heart start to bleed

One one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright
Only a memory tonight

One one one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn, burn, burn


4. RECKLESS MAN

No promises to keep
Won't lose an hours sleep
Talks fast but makes no sense
The mask of innocence

Turns on the golden light
Perception clear and bright
He don't need no crystal ball
Don't need no one at all

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He thinks he wrote the book
Just take a second look
He reads it every day
Then tells it anyway

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He's a reckless man reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man


5. MATTER OF SURVIVAL

Tell me how long you will take
Trying to make up your mind
Maybe it's already too late
I'll just be left behind
For right or wrong
Bayby I still hold on
Don't let it burn down in flames

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

So scared when I walked to your door
I saw you turn out the light
I can't take this hurt anymore
I shout it out to the night
Living without you ain't living at all
Tell me how do I get by ?

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

I walk the streets at night
I feel your spirit deep inside
It comes with the darkness
Stay till the light
I gotta face it, there's nowhere to hide

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart


6. WHAT KIND OF LOVE IS THIS

I can read between the lines
Understand what's on your mind
There's a storm about to break
You just can't wait

Stand up! - Hear me out! - Stand up!

Hear what I'm talking about
I'm confused - you can't lose

What kind of love is this?
When I can't defend myself?

What kind of love is this?
Gotta look for help

Now we're runnin' out of time
And no matter how I try
All the colours turn to black
You can't get back

Stand up! - Hear me out! - Stand up!

Hear what I'm talking about
Been accused - you're bad news

What kind of love is this?
When I can't defend myself

What kind of love is this?
Gotta look for help, looking for help!

What kind of love is this?
On a sea of emptiness - yeah, yeah

What kind of love is this?
When you live for yourself

Oh!

(Guitar Solo)

What kind of love is this?
When I can't defend myself

What kind of love is this?
Gotta look for help, looking for help!

What kind of love is this?
On a sea of emptiness, yeah, yeah

What kind of love is this?
When you live for yourself

Oh!

What kind of love is this?
Gotta look for help

Oh!

What kind of love is this?
When you live for yourself?


7. HEARTBROKE & BUSTED

What you gonna do on your own
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings can’t be right
You think nobody’s gonna miss you tonight

Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where’s the justice

Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing
Can slow you down
You be alright when love comes around

You say that you’ve never known
The kind of love that gets down deep
In your soul
You’re still reelin‘ from the fight
You wouldn’t know it if it hit you tonight

Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where’s the justice

Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing
Can slow you down
You be alright when love comes around

And I will never know
The questions you’re asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon
The judgement you‘re passing
When you don’t even know the cause

Mistrusted heartbroke and busted
So where’s the justice

Gonna be alright when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing
Can slow you down
You be alright when love comes around


8. SHOOT

You take a dangerous line
Holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time
Before you hurt someone
So keep your running shoes close
And sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost
The hunter won't be long

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun ...

Well go on shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on and shoot
Show the world that you're not kidding

All gathered deep in the earth
A careless light betrays
Be feared the Devil he's at work
No place to end your days
To hold the balance of the fight
And scream your hearts desire
Don't give the automatic right
To quench the holy fire

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun ...

Shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on shoot
Come on shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Yeah
Show the world show the world
Yeah
Justify the blood you're spilling
NowShow the world you're not kidding


9. NO WAY OUT

It's another long night
Ain't no heart in this town without pity
There's not enough love
Yeah it's tough in this part of the city

Somebody cries
Tonight we ride
We'll take you to the other side
Hear me mother
Will day ever come
Say a prayer for your wayward son
If I could I would run

But there's no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free

On the far side of the town
With the rain falling down
She stands waiting
It don't seem right
She cries to the night
Her heart breaking

She can hear his words
Still see his face
It takes her to another place
Hear me father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape

Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
Ain't we born to be free
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh
Yeah, yeah

Hear me father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape

Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
No way out


10. CRY FOR YOU

I'm standing in your doorway
Like I've done a thousand times
I keep waiting for an answer
That don't come
I can get thru anything
Live thru any storm life can bring
But when it comes to losing you
There's nothing I can do

But cry for you baby
Die everytime
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby every single night
I cry for you

I keep staring at your window
Trying to see thru your walls
Cos the wall that we built
Ain't always made of stone
I'm standing out in the rain
Knowing I can't touch you again
It's the hardest thing to take
The thought of it makes me

Cry for you baby
Die everytime
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby every single night
I cry for you

Blame it on pride
My fatal mistake
Cos I never stopped loving you
I never said a word
I just let you go
Now I'm paying for it all

Ever since you said goodbye
Baby every single night
I cry for you
Cry for you baby
Die everytime

That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry
Like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Cry for you baby
Die everytime
That I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry

Like I cry for you.cry for you


11. BORN TO BE KING

New broom had swept
And did collect
A thousand years
From far and near
The time had come
The chosen one
A welcome guest
By children blessed
The door's unlocked
The walls are down
No more to wear
The thorny crown
The game is up
No foolin' now
The power is on
For everyone

He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
Born he was born
He was born
He was born

He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything

He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
