1. ONE TO SING THE BLUES

Don't know what I did
To make you feel that way
I can't always say
Just what I want to say
I'm out of place again,
You're on my case again
Bringing up the past
And sling it in my face again
Put me in the frame,
So even if I win I lose,
Going down slow
Ain't the only way to go,
Listen to me honey,
Gonna tell ya something funny,
Miss me when I'm gone
You'll be the one to sing the blues,
Seems to me the good times
Ended way too soon,
Seems like faded echoes
In an empty room,
Strangers in the night,
Strangers in the light,
Seems like every word we say
Just makes us scratch and bite,
Thought we had the answers,
Sure we couldn't lose,
What you want from me,
Is all the things that I can't be
Listen to me baby,
I'm beginning to go crazy,
Miss me when I'm gone
You'll be the one to sing the blues,
More I think about it,
It's a goddamn shame,
Opposites attract
'Till they become the same,
Daggers in our eyes,
Time to say goodbye,
Time to stop pretending,
Time to stop the endless lies,
I wish you luck,babe,
I hope you find a dream
And it comes true,
What my eyes can't see
Don't make no difference to me,
Listen to me faking,
Even though my heart is breaking,
Miss you now you're gone,
Now I'm the one to sing the blues.


2. HELLRAISER

I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting to much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire

Hellraiser, In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you

Walking out on another stage
Another town, another place
Sometimes I don't feel right
Nerves wound up to damn tight
Don't you tell me it's bad for my health
'Cos kicking back don't make it
Out of control, I play the ultimate role
Don't know how to fake it

Hellraiser, In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you

Hellraiser, In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you


3. 1916

16 years old when I went to war,
To fight for a land fit for heroes,
God on my side,and a gun in my hand,
Counting my days down to zero,
And I marched and I fought and I bled
And I died & I never did get any older,
But I knew at the time, That a year in the line,
Is a long enough life for a soldier,
We all volunteered,
And we wrote down our names,
And we added two years to our ages,
Eager for life and ahead of the game,
Ready for history's pages,
And we fought and we brawled
And we whored 'til we stood,
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder,
A thirst for the Hun,
We were food for the gun,and that's
What you are when you're soldiers,
I heard my friend cry,
And he sank to his knees,coughing blood
As he screamed for his mother
And I tell by his, side,
And that's how we died,
Clinging like kids to each other,
And I lay in the mud
And the guts and the blood,
And I wept as his body grew colder,
And I called for my mother
And she never came,
Though it wasn't my fault
And I wasn't to blame,
The day not half over
And ten thousand slain,and now
There's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is for a soldier.


4. STAND

Stand - you can make it
Stand - you can take it
Stand - realize that nobody can break it for you

Stand - you can do it
Stand - go right to it
Stand - nobody can do a damn thing to you

But you can't stand - if you don't care
Can't stand - if you don't dare
Can't stand - if you're running scared
Forget you're blood & bone
Stand like you're made of stone

Stand - on your honor
Stand - show you're gonna
Stand - they can't put the creeping death upon you

If you stand - never move it
Stand - gotta prove it
Stand - stand 'cause you can't stand to lose it

Stand - stand - stand like a rock
Stand - stand - you stop their clock
Stand - stand - put them into shock
Stand
Stand - stand - together
Stand - yeah you better
Stand - don't you know that you can live forever if you
Stand - one for all
Stand - don't you crawl
Stand - if you stand then you deserve it all

But if you can't stand,
Then they're the boss,
Can't stand - it's a total loss
Can't stand - they'll nail you to the cross
Forget you're blood and bone
Stand like you're made of stone
Stand


5. RAMONES

New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high school dance,
Fuzz tone,hear 'em go,
Hear 'em on the radio,

Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, ramones,
Bad boy rock,bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba,see them go,
C,Jay now hit the gas,
Hear Marky kick some ass,
Go Johnny,go, go, go Tommy o-way-o,

Bad boys then, bad boys now,
Good buddies,mau,keep it up,
Rock'n'roll,good music save your soul,
Dee Dee, he left home,
Joey call me the phone.


6. GOING TO BRAZIL

Here we go again, on a 747,
Looking at the clouds
From the other side of heaven,
Smoking & drinking, never gonna stop,
Reading magazines,
Stop me looking at the clock,
Wanna watch the movie,can't keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,
Watching all the roadcrew
Attacking little girls,
Joined the mile high club,
Goin' round the world,
All the booze is free,
Airline going broke,
Here come the lady
With another jack and coke,
Wanna watch the movie,
Can't keep still,
Flying down to Rio, going to Brazil,
Steve, Clem,Hobbsy,
John,Crazy Dil and Pappy,
Had to travel second class,
They ain't too fucking happy,
Elevator music, butter in my ears,
Think we're gonna die,
Just the pilot changing gear,
Wanna watch the movie, can't sit still,
Flying down to RIO, going to Brazil.


7. BAD RELIGION

Thou who wouldst make us devils
Thou shalt not poison me
The world hath been persuaded to believe thy heresy

I spit in the eye of Satan
And I will spit in thine
The devils that surround thee
Liveth only in thine eye

Bad Religion, Bad Religion
I need no gods or devils, I need no pagan rights
Bad religion, Bad religion
I need no burning crosses to illuminate my nights
HEY, HEY, You hear me now
You hear me now
HEY, HEY, For thou art Judas
The mark of Cain be on thy brow

Evangelistic Nazis, you cannot frighten me
The name you take in vain shall judge you for eternity

I spit in the eye of Satan
Spit right in your eye too
You are the spooks you're chasing
You know not what you do

Bad religion, Bad religion
I know you lie, I know you lie
Bad religion, Bad religion
Thieves and liars
Cross my heart I hope you die

If there be such a being
Then thou art Anti-christ
Turn men against their children
Turn beauty into vice
I say thy God shall smite thee
He will perceive thy lust
His wrath shall fall upon thee
Thou that betray his thrust

Bad religion, Bad religion
I say that thou art liars, Thy souls shall not be saved
Bad religion, Bad religion
Here are the days of thunder, The days that thou hast made

HEey, hey
Base seducers, I see thy greed
Hey, hey
I am more fit for glory, Than any ten of thee


8. NAME IN VAIN

Don't you say a word to me
Always barking up my tree
I don't need no more grief, no more third degree
Turn sunshine into rain
Turn pleasure into shame
Turn everything I say, inside out again

It seems, it seems the same
It seems, I ain't to blame
It seems, that you're insane
Don't you take my name in vain

Tell me what a dog I am
Tell me it's 'cause I'm a man
Tell you what, who gives a damn
Just another scam
Ain't me that's wrong this time
Ain't me that's out of line
Ain't me, it ain't my crime
Your rap, 'cause it ain't mine

It seems, it seems the same
It seems, I ain't to blame
It seems, that you're insane
Don't you take my name in vain

Seems like you know the rules
I know you ain't no fool, you think you're somethin' else,
You look pretty cool,
You ought to reconsider, I ain't no Indian giver
I been as fair as I know how so shut your mouth

You know it all seems
It's only in your dreams
I'm getting sick to death of swimming up the stream
I'm gonna ask you nice, and then I'll ask you twice
If that don't work you get your ass back in your jeans

Seems to me, seems the same
Seems to me, I ain't to blame
Seems to me that you're insane
Don't you take my name in vain


9. YOU BETTER RUN

I got no reason, to lie to you
What's in the cards, that's what I do
I was born a-running & laughing out loud
With my feet on the ground & my head in the clouds

You better run, oh baby you better run
I got a blade like lightning, silver bullets in my gun

I'm short & I'm tall, I'm black & I'm white
Sometimes I be wrong, sometimes I be right
I'm iron & steel, I'm bad to the bone
You come looking for trouble, honey don't you come alone

I seen 'em come, & I seen 'em go,
I seen things & been people, that nobody knows
I'm talking in pictures and I'm painting them black,
I seen Satan coming honey in a big black Cadillac


10. SHUT YOU DOWN

Pack my bags and leave today,
You read this I'll be far away,
Ain't gonna give ya no moon in June,
Never see you it'll be too soon,
One eye Jack,gotta watch my back,
See you 'round, guess I better,
Shut you down
Steal your thunder,turn you round,
Listen up 'cos I'm telling you,
Magic moments were way too few,
Like to stay, but you got too weird, Don't look right
Since you grew that beard,

Tell you babe, what I'm gonna do,
Leave this town and I'll leave you too,
Don't manna see your face no more,
Don't come 'round knocking at my door.
