1. NEIGHBOR

Sittin' in your front yard, drinkin' lemonade
Suburban life, a pretty wife, you think you've got it made
But you don't know what's in store for you and your family
I'm movin' in, right next door, won't you welcome me

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And I hope I didn't ruin your day
Won't you be my neighbor

I brought my life, my ugly wife, my dirty dog with fleas
My kid's a punk and I'm a drunk, this I'm sure you'll see
Yeah ! You don't know what it's like to live in misery
Welcome to home sweet hell, dissatisfaction guaranteed

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And if I could I surely would invite you in and say
Won't you be my neighbor (x4)

C'mon I don't think you'll find a place to live in peace of mind
You're gonna live in misery when you're livin' next to me

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Raaaah ! Won't you be my... won't you be my funky neighbor

Well I drink, and I stink, I smoke, yeah I'm a joke
I try all night and day to get a piece of the action, a-ha
And you should know by now you're never gonna forget, a-ha
Now I know just what you're thinkin'
It could be you out 'n' you're drinkin'
So don't you knock it until you try it
It could be you in a little while
I hope I didn't ruin your day

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
I dig your wife, she sure is good
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, ha, ha, ha


2. GODDAMN DEVIL

Rape, d.u.i., assault and battery
These are the things that will bring you to me
Murder and theft and all of the above
You can bet your life I know what you're thinkin' of

I've takin' you and I'll take your friends
Don't you worry, we'll all meet in the end
'Cause life's a bitch and then you die
Trust me baby cause I don't lie

I'm the goddamn devil, this job pleases me
I'm the goddamn devil and I do it for free

I known the story about your life
If you killed your brother or you beat your wife
And I am here to punish you
You can't fool me cause I ain't no fool

The time has come to say goodbye
The end is here for those who cheat, steal and die
There will be torture and there will be pain
Cause this is hell, baby, die in flames

I'm the goddamn devil, this job pleases me
I'm the goddamn devil, Satan if you please
I'm the goddamn devil, this job pleases me
I'm the goddamn devil, and I do it for free

I don't care about you, don't care about your life
Don't care about your children or about your wife
I'm here to do my job so if you broke the law
You're checkin' in with me and you can never leave

There's one way out if you dare
We'll make a deal, you'll grow your hair
As satan's child you'll start a band
And spread the word across the land

I'm the goddamn devil (x4)

I'm the goddamn devil, this job pleases me
I'm the goddamn devil, Satan if you please
I'm the goddamn devil, better believe in me, in me
I'm the goddamn devil


3. COME TOMORROW

About the time I'm eight years old
I met the devil, kept my soul
Walkin' out on lakes of fire and I'm gone
Walkin' in a wonderland
And I don't really understand
The place I'm comin' to right now today

[Chorus]
Come tomorrow, you could see the light
Come tomorrow, break it right down to the place you were before

Fifteen years on down the line
I guess you'd say I'm doin' fine
Wandering down that same old road again
Walkin' in her wonderland
But Alice doesn't understand
The place she's comin' to right now today

[Chorus]
Oh yeah ! Before, come on, come on

Move a little slower, come a little faster, honey
On your knees, you'll be beggin' me please as you feel the disease
You're goin' down again tonight

See me runnin', watch me fall
I guess you'd say I've finally found my own
See me cryin' and wonder why
I guess you'd say it's time to die today

[Chorus]

Before


4. PANHANDLIN' PRINCE

Sittin' on a rusty park bench, baby, not much else to do
Smoke cigarettes and drink my mickey's, fine malt liquor brew
As I start drinkin' and I start thinkin' that death is on my side
If my heart stopped beatin', the street kept reekin'
That's suicide that's right

I grew up in the inner icty, a dark part of this town
Just another innoncent backwoods victim society likes to put down
You can call me a boozer, or call me a loser, it really doesn't matter to me
I got a bench for snoozin', some sauce to keep boozin', that's all I need

[Chorus]
I keep it comin', sometimes don't know why
I'm gonna do it 'til the day I die

Consider me the duke as I dine in your dumpster, unsanitary engineer
Baron of the bench the panhandlin' master
Well, I'm pullin' twenty g's a year
I know it ain't much but at least I'm in touch, yeah with reality
I wouldn't trade no places to be in rat races, no siree

[Chorus] (x2)

Yo, Mr. Trump, can I ask you a question?
You got some spare change for me sucker
Now I'm down and out and there ain't no doubt that I am her to stay
Yeah, you see me with my brothers lying in the gutter with my paper bag in hand
Yeah, the streets are cold but at least there's soul and that's all I need

You'll take away my peace of mind
You'll leave me there to rot and die
But look again, my careless frind
The world you live is just a lie
It's a give and take, the more the fake
The more the pain, the more you lose
So live your life, don't take no sides
And seize the day and drink your booze, booze, booze


5. BUSY BEE

Everybody's alright with me
Possibly you'll disagree
Busy bee watch the world go by

Everybody's alright with me
That's just the way I choose to be
Everybody's on my mind
Can't sit aside and watch his world go by
That ain't me

Busy bee watch the world go by (x2)

Everybody does their time
The people walk in crooked lines
Everybody's got their choice
But often we don't use our voice

Busy bee watch the world go by (x3)

Busy bee watch the world go by
How could you be so blind ?
Some people they just ain't satisfied
Watch the world go by, watch the world go by

Busy bee watch the world go by

I always hear the school bell ring
Let the children dance and sing
Just let us find what's been lost
So many people get torn and tossed away

Busy bee watch the world go by (x3)

Everybody's alright with me


6. DON'T GO

[Chorus]
This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, I need you
Baby, please don't go

Remember when I met you
School dress on
I never could forget you
And baby now you're gone

I'm goin' around, around today
Just trying to find the truth
It doesn't really matter anyway
When I'm living without you

[Chorus]

I said come on little darlin'
Baby don't you see
I'd never do you harmin', no
It's just you and me

I'm on the corner right now
Waiting for your love
You better make your choice now
Before a push comes to a shove
Yeah things seem kinda different
It ain't the way it was
Remember what your mama said
The bond that lies in us

[Chorus] (x2)

I'm by the phone, I'm all alone
Just waitin' and a prayin' that maybe you'll call
I gotta know right now, should I stay around, should I stay a while
Should I stand here crying or baby should I fly, yeah

Oh come on darlin', don't you see and don't you know
I gotta have your lovin', baby now now I'll never let ya go
I'm lookin' round and round tryin' to find that girl of mine
She's so far away and I am cryin', yeah


7. SO DAMN COOL

I wanna know, why the people are everywhere
And I wanna know, where to go if I get scared
And I wanna be, in a place where no one cares
And I wanna know you
Because you're so damn cool
Yeah, so damn cool

I wanna feel like I'm floatin' in the air
And I wanna know if the sun's gonna bleach my hair
And I wanna know, why life's just so unfair
And I wanna know you
Because you're so damn cool
Yeah, you're so damn cool, you're so damn cool
Yeah, you're so damn cool

Who knows what I'm feelin' inside me?
Who knows if I'm feelin' all right?
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me?
Who knows what is runnin' around in my brain?

Now that I'm done and I've seen it
Don't think I'm tryin' to complain
Don't think I'm lyin' cause I mean it
And all you people down there don't look at me to lay
All of your blame 'cause you need me
And you want me to go down in drain with the rest
I'm sick of denyin', what is runnin' around in my brain


8. SAME SIDE

It doesn't matter who you are or what you're gonna be
People from all walks of life, you gotta have diversity
We're all in this together and together we shall be
You gotta be my friendly neighbor if you're gonna live next to me

[Chorus 1]
We're all livin' on the same side, same side of town
Walkin' down the same streets, the streets that are all around

You could be my brother or you could be my friend
But don't you turn your back on me cause we'll be here 'til the end
Yeah, we're all in this together and we all have that dream
To live in perfect harmony like a family that's the scene

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
Livin' on the same side, same side of town
Shufflin' to the same beat, the beat that's all around

Stumblin' down on D.P., keggers all around
Laughin' at the police as they try to take us down
Hangin' with each other, yeah hangin' with our bro's
We all love one another, from our heads down to our toes

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Livin' on the same side
Livin' on the same side, oh yeah
Livin' on the same side, same side of town


9. CATS IN THE CRADLE

My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said
I'm gonna be like you, dad
You know I'm gonna be like you

[Chorus]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home ?
Son, I don't know when, we'll get together then
You know we'll have a cool time then

Well, my son turned ten just the other day
He said : "thanks for the ball, dad, come on, let's play
Could you teach me to throw ?"
I said : "not today, I got a lot to do"
He said : "That's okay"
And he walked away and he smiled and he said :
"You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

[Chorus]

Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while ?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please ?"

[Chorus]

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind"
He said : "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, dad
It's been sure nice talkin' to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus] (x2)


10. I'LL KEEP TRYIN'

If I had the time and lotsa money then i'd take you 'round the world
In' if I had a dime for every penny then I'd buy you diamonds girl
You don't even know how much I love you and how much I wanna be
Your knight in shinin' armor, yeah, baby that's good enough for me

[Chorus]
And I'll keep tryin', yeah I'll keep tryin' to make you mine
Mine all mine
I hope you're buyin', I hope you're buyin' all of my lines

Now if I was the king and had a castle then you'd surely be my queen
We would live up in the tallest tower and we rarely would be seen
You don't even know how much I need you and how much you mean to me
I'm a dog without a bone, you hear me cryin' and it's time for you to see

[Chorus] (x2)


11. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

"Are you the guys on the beach who hate everything?
Is this some sort of hip music that I don't understand?"

I hate the rain and sunny weather
And I, I hate the beach and moutains too
And I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
And I, I, I, hate the country side too
And I, hate everything about you, everything about you

And I don't like a thing about your mother
And I, I hate your daddy's guts too
And I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
'Cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too
And I, get sick when I'm around, I, can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you, everything about you
Everything about you, everything about you

Some say I got a bad attitude but that don't change the way I feel about you
If you think all this might be bringing me down
Look again cause I ain't wearin' no frown

I don't really care about your sister
Forget the little bitch 'cause I already kissed her
One thing that I did to your old lady
Put her on the bed and didn't think maybe
I know, you know, everybody knows
The way it comes, the way it gonna go
You think it's sad well that's too bad
'Cause I'm havin' a ball and never cared a thing about you
Everything about you, everything about
I get sick when I'm around
I can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you


12. MADMAN ('92 REMIX)

Disneyland is the place to be, c'mon baby, just you and me
Hand in hand, to Disneyland, we go, not slow
Happiest place, in the world until a madman grabs a girl
Hand in hand, with the madman she goes, oh, oh

Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin'
Madman is loose in Disneyland

Come here little girl if you wanna see, peter pan's magic flight on L.S.D.
Up and down, all around, we go, whoa-oh

Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin'
Madman is loose in Disneyland, in Disneyland
Madman is loose in Disneyland, he's back here by popular demand
Madman is loose in Disneyland, he'll take no lip but he'll take your head

Surprise, surprise, I'm comin' at ya' live
I sure as hell ain't Mickey Mouse
I'm a killer in disguise, you can run and you can hide
But you ain't gettin' away 'cause I got you in my sight

Axe wieldin', child stealin'
I'm a mad mother, and I'm loose

Have you heard the news, madman sure is loose
Got you by the noose, have his way with you
Nothin' you can do, headlines in the news
Madman sure is loose, in Disneyland

Disneyland is the place to be, in California by the sea
Sunny day, well A.O.K., for now, and how

Knife gleamin', no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin'
Madman is loose in Disneyland, in Disneyland


13. MR. RECORDMAN

[Chorus]
Mr. Recordman, do you know who I am?
Mr. Recordman, do you really think I can?

I've takin' a likin' to your game
I think we all, we feel the same
Is this a dream or is it real?
You say you want to cut a deal?

[Chorus]

Don't need much time to think about
I'm sure that you have got the clout
I only hope that you're my friend
And stand by me until the end

[Chorus]

Sell a lotta records and tour around the world
Make a lotta money and meet lotsa' girls

[Chorus]

It sounds like music to my ears
I've dreamed of this for many years

To sell a lotta records and tour round the world
Make a lotta money and meet lotsa girls
Have a lot of fun and hang with my bro's
'Cause these boys and this band is all I know

[Chorus]

If not for the money and not fot the show
Are you here for me of here for the dough ?
Mr. Recordman, Recordman, do you really give a damn?
Mr. Recordman, Recordman, do you really think I can?
Mr. Recordman, do you really give a damn?
