Power To The Music


 Hey, listen people, we're
 victimized, circumcised, crossed
 the line of no return.
 The critics say we devastate,
 socialites just masturbate.
 Won't the losers ever learn?

 Who said the music's dead in the
 streets?
 Don't know what they talk about.
 They gotta put a bullet in my head
 if they want to keep me down.
 Let me hear it.

 Power to the music in the streets.
 Power to the music in the streets.
 Power to the music in the streets.
 Power to the music in the streets.

 Mothers tell their sons of
 cyanide and suicide, blame it on
 the devil's tongue,
 suck me like a parasite, military
 3rd reich.
 Blood burning bastards wasting
 blood.

 Who said the music's dead in the
 streets?
 Don't know what they talk about.
 I want my music waking up the
 dead.
 Don't tell me to turn it down.
 Turn it down.

 Power to the music in the streets
 Power to the music in the streets
 Power to the music in the streets
 Power to the music in the streets
 
Uncle Jack

 Are you ready for suicide?
 Let me run a razor cross your
 throat.
 You took that child on ride now,
 led them down a long and
 shameful road.

 It rips my heart out, to see you
 living.
 You gave them money in exchange
 for pain.
 You're the monster in the closet,
 they'll take your secrets with
 them to their grave.

 Locked you away behind cast iron
 doors.
 I'd rather see you dead on the
 floor.
 I hope that you're feeling so
 much pain now.

 Uncle Jack, can't you hear them
 still screaming?
 Broken hearts, broken dreams,
 yeah.
 Uncle Jack, is your evil still
 creepin'?

Never comin back here again.
What were you think gain.
Are you ready for suicide?
Let me run a razor cross your
throat.
You took that child on ride now,
led them down a long and shameful
road.

It rips my heart in', are you
human?
You took their innocence and made
them slaves.
You want forgiveness, you're so
sorry.
I'd rather put you in an unmarked
grave.

Locked you away behind cast iron
doors.
I'd rather see you dead on the
floor.
I hope that you're feeling so much
pain now.

Uncle Jack, can't you see them
still bleeding!
Broken hearts, broken dreams,
yeah.
Uncle Jack, tell me how are you
sleepin'?
Never comin' back here again,
What were you think gain.

Hooligan's Holiday

 I'm on a holiday, hooligan's
 holiday.

Drop dead beauties stompin' up a
storm, lines of hell on our face.
Bruised bad apples crawling
through the night, busted loose,
runaway, oo, runaway.

Always, always a thrill without a
motive.
30 days, such a haze.

Everybody wants a piece of the
action.
Everybody wants a piece of the
pie.

We're on a holiday, hooligan's
holiday.
I'm on a holiday, hooligan's.
I gotta get away, hooligan's
holiday.
We're on a holiday, hooligan's,
yeah.
Cross-eyed derelicts comin', iron
horse between our legs.
Tattoos, black manes flowin'.
Everyday's a holidaze.

Everybody wants a piece of the
action.
Everybody wants a piece of the
pie.
They want a piece of mind.

We're on a holiday, hooligan's
holiday.
I'm on a holiday, hooligan's.
I gotta get away, hooligan's
holiday.
We're on a holiday, hooligan's.

Modern times and new blood's
pumpin'.
Only the strong survive.

Misunderstod


 Little old man contemplates
 suicide twice a day.
 Life's passed him by.
 Little old woman scared and
 blind, left alone in desperate
 times.
 Life's passed her by.

 Oh, life, it's misunderstood them,
 so they close their eyes and
 dream of better days.
 Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah.
 Life's not always fair, or so they
 say.

 Little boy with vacant eyes,
 daddy won't be home tonight.
 And he don't know why.
 His mother, she sits alone tangled
 in the web she's sewn.
 Lives lie to lie.

 Oh, life, it's misunderstood them,
 so they close their eyes and
 dream of better days.
 Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah.
 Life's not always fair, or so they
 say.

 Strangled, caged, left alone, doin'
 time in a broken home.
 Feelin' left to die.
 I'm a product of your troubled
 ways.
 You made me what I am today.
 Now you're asking why.
 Oh, life's misunderstood me, so I
 close my eyes and dream of
 better days.
 Oo, life's misunderstood me.
 Life's not always fair, life's not
 always fair or so they say.
 or so they say.

Restless soul deep inside searches
for some piece of mind.
Livin' just to die.
I'm an angry man and I always
have had to fight to survive my
past.
A sign of those times.

Life, it's misunderstood me and I
know you know that you've been
there too.
Time lets a restless soul fade
away.
Life's not always fair, life's not
always fair, or so they say.

Little boy with hopeful eyes,
daddy's comin' home tonight.
So don't you cry. So don't you
cry.
So don't you cry. So don't you
cry.

Loveshine

Oh, baby, walked a million miles
 climbin' up this mountain lookin'
 for your smile.

 Oh, sugar, where's my baby
 been?
 My heart is like the ocean
 waitin' for your love to sail on in.

 Let my loveshine.
 Let my loveshine in.
 Oo, baby, won't you let my
 loveshine in.

 Let my loveshine, love shine in.
 Let my loveshine.
 Let my loveshine.
 Baby, won't you let my love,
 baby, won't you let my loveshine
 in, love shine in.
Oh baby, remember yesterday?
Spoke to me in riddles and
mystery remains.

Oo, sugar, be my oldest friend.
You held me in my youth and you'll
hold me in the end again, my
friend.

Let my loveshine, love shine in.
Let my loveshine.
Let my loveshine.
Baby, won't you let my love, baby,
won't you let my loveshine in, love
shine in.

Poison Apples

 Took a Greyhound Bus down to
 Heartattack and Vine with a
 fistful of dreams and dimes.
 So far out didn't know that I was
 in.
 Had a taste for a life of slime.

 When push came to shove, the
 music was the drug and the band
 always got to play.
 Sex, smack, rock, roll, mainline,
 overdose.
 Man, we lived it night and day.

 We loved our Mott The Hoople, it
 kept us all so enraged.
 And you loved us and you loved us
 and you loved us.
 We're so fuckin' beautiful!

 Pretty little poison apples, see the
 scars tattooed on our face.
 It's your disgrace.
 Pretty little poison apples, mama
 said, "Now don't you walk this
 way, just find some faith."

 Tabloid sleeze just maggots on
 their knees diggin' in the dirt for
 slag.
 Moonshine, strychnine, speedball,
 shootin' lines.
 Anything to push their rags.
 Still we love our Mott The
 Hoople, it keeps us all so
 enraged.
 And you love us and you hate us
 and you love us.
 We're so fuckin beautiful!

 Pretty little poison apples, see
 the scars tattooed on our face.
 It's your disgrace.
 Pretty pretty poison apples,
 mama said, "Now don't you walk
 this way, just find some faith."

 Blueprints for disaster.
 You better not push me 'cause
 I'll bring you to your knees, oo,
 to your knees.
 Blueprints for disaster.
 You better not love me 'cause
 I'll bring you to your knees,
 mama, to your knees.

 Pretty little poison apples, mama
 said, "Now don't you walk this
 way,
 just find some faith, faith, faith,
 yeah."

 Pretty little poison apples.
 Pretty, pretty poison apples.

Hammered


 Act like Jesus crucified again.
 These four wall are closing in.
 Who and what do you think you
 are, a rich mother fucker in a
 fancy car?
 Concrete jackel suckin' on the
 past, goldcard junkie kissin
 money's ass.

 You're the monkey on my back
 and it's time for you to go.
 Hammered.
 You're more harm than my old
 vice and I don't want to know.
 Hey, Hey, you're hammer,
 hammer poor.

 Now you're feelin low, tired and
 beaten.
 Bring you some blades and
 daggers, pierce your soul.
 Hell, ain't livin' six feet in the
 hole.
 Get down on your knees in
 Hollywood time to Kiss some,
 some ass.
Hey, Mr. big time Hollywood, tell
your story walkin' if you think
you could.
Your money's runnin' low from
your cocaine whores, nothin' but a
rat scratchin' at my door.
Hey, now I've said all I'm gonna
say.
time will judge, see who fades
away.

You're the monkey on my back
and it's time for you to go.
Hammered.
You're more harm than my old
vice and I don't want to know.
Hey, Hey, you're hammer, hammer
poor.

beaten.
Bring you some blades and
daggers, pierce your soul.
Hell, ain't livin' six feet in the
hole.
Get down on your knees in
Hollywood time to Kiss some, some
ass.

'til Death Do Us Part


 Oh, when you look into my eyes,
 tell me what you see.
 I don't think you'll ever realize
 the pride inside of me.

 Oo, I've walked my walk, talked
 my talk and I've lived and died in
 my songs.
 Temptation cuts so deep, it's fire
 still burns so strong.

 You know I've lived a few
 mistakes and I stand by them.
 Oo, it's me, myself, and I till
 death do us part, yeah.
 Till death, till death do us part,
 yeah, yeah, No, no, no, no.

 Yeah, sometimes my words may
 cut too deep and I step on a toe
 or two.
 But I'm half dead and barely
 half alive, but I live by the
 truth.
 Hey, but I live by the truth.
 Til death, til death, do us part,
 do us part.
Hey, if you want to criticize, then
you can't believe anything you
read.
What you see is all of me.
Yeah, I've talked the talk, walked
the walk.
Who thought I'd live this long?
Oh, this life's been hard like a
switchblade, blind faith suicide.

You know I've lived a few
mistakes and I stand by them.
Oo, it's me, myself, and I till
death do us part, yeah.
Till death, till death do us part,
yeah, yeah, No, no, no, no.

Yeah, sometimes my words may cut
too deep and I step on a toe or
two.
But I'm half dead and barely half
alive, but I live by the truth.
Hey, but I live by the truth.
Til death, til death, do us part, do
us part.

Welcome To The Numb

Mister, mister push button junkie
 lookin for some dirt to buy.
 Landslide, it's a corporation
 landslide waitin for a kiss from
 an atom bomb.

 This situation's critical, my
 back's against the wall but we

 You're walkin' in our sleep and I
 can't feel at all.
 I said, "Hey man, just gimmie

 See what you wanna see, feel

 Welcome to the numb, fools.
 Welcome to the numb.
 Welcome to the numb.

 People, did you ever feel like
 you're going insane?
 Sister, I'm feelin pretty safe,

 This situation's critical, have I

 And I like it.
 There's too much information,
 can you see it in my eyes?
 I said, "Hey man, all I want is
 the truth."
See what you wanna see, feel what
you wanna feel.
I don't wanna know, I don't

part of your stupid mother
fucker machine.
Do what ya wanna do, kill if ya

Smoke The Sky

 Smoke my hoochie, you say that
 I'm the Devil, reali T.H.C.

 Marco Polo hailed it heaven,
 Socrates inhaled it, too.
 Mister President, tell the truth.
 You're the great exaggerators
 since 1932.
 Telling evils of the reefer, but all
 thru time we've smoked the sky.

 Smoke the sky.

 When inside we'll smoke the sky.
 When inside we'll smoke the sky.
 When inside we'll smoke the, when
 inside we'll toke the, when inside
 we'll smoke the sky.

 Home grown vision compliments
 the senses, opens up my mind.
 J.F.K. sold us freedom, or was it
 just a business toke?
 63 went up in smoke.
 He was the great seducer crawling
 from our T.V.s.
 Breathed hope into our future,
 before he died, he smoked the
 sky,
 Smoke the sky.

 When inside we'll smoke the sky.
 When inside we'll smoke the sky.
 When inside we'll smoke the,
 when inside we'll toke the, when
 inside we'll smoke the sky.

 B.C. hailed it heaven, I inhaled it,
 too.
 Reali T.H.C.
 When inside we'll smoke the sky.

 Smoke the sky.

 When inside we'll smoke the sky.
 When inside we'll smoke the sky.
 When inside we'll smoke the,
 when inside we'll toke the, when
 inside we'll smoke the sky.

Droppin' Like Flies

 A war zone in the streets, it's
 anarchy and siege.
 We hope it goes away, graffiti on
 the walls in modern Babylon,
 nothing left to save.
 Oo, feel the rebels heed.
 Revolution undermines belief.
 My eyes have seen this shit
 before.
 We're barely hangin' by the skin
 of our teeth.
 We've all raped it, the future's
 wasted.
 We can't save it now.

 Oh, we're droppin; like flies.
 Bye, bye.
 You're droppin' like flies.

 Hate is growing fast in a hazy
 cloud of crack, but it helps us
 fade away.
 Some inner city queen French
 kisses his disease with one foot in
 the grave.
 Oh, and this junkyard we call
 home is primed and ready for
 another war.
 My, my, my, the children have no
 chance and these eyes have seen
 this all go down before.
 We've all raped it, the future's
 wasted.
 Can we take it?
 Is nothing sacred?
 We can't save it now, yeah.
I woke up late in a fresh dug
grave with a conscience in my
brain.
I'm not here to save your world,
but mine won't stay the same.

Oh, my, my, we're droppin' like
flies.
Bye, bye, bye bye. You're
droppin like flies.
We've all raped it, the future's
wasted.
We can't save it.
Can you face it?
Selfish livin' selfish love.
Can you face it.
Can you face it, my son?
Oh, my son, yeah.
Hey!

Driftaway


 Look inside the mirror, but I
 don't know who I see.
 Smoke another cigarette, a smile
 holds back the tears.
 These contradictions seem to be
 the story of my life.
 A simple man with memories of
 those long lost golden days.
 I close my eyes and slowly
 driftaway.

 Misaway, yeah.
 Never thought I'd make it just
 from playin my guitar.
 Just a little smile always shelters
 me from pain.
 Every time I start to slide, I wish
 upon a star.
 The sun comes out and dries up all
 the rain.

 I'm an honest man who refused
 the shade on a hot and lonely day.
 I close my eyes and dream my life
 away.
 Now I know that I can stop the
 rain.
 Close my eyes and slowly
 driftaway.
 Close my eyes and dream my life
 away.
 Close my eyes and slowly
 driftaway.
 Mistakes I've made remind me of
 the roads I shouldn't choose.
 Never comes that easy when
 you've nothing left to lose.
 I can't see the answers, tell me
 why am I so blind?
 A tired man, I'll make the best
 of another lonely day.
 I close my eyes and slowly
 driftaway.

 Misaway, yeah.
 Never thought I'd make it just
 from playin my guitar.
 Just a little smile always
 shelters me from pain.
 Every time I start to slide, I
 wish upon a star.
 The sun comes out and dries up
 all the rain.

 I'm an honest man who refused
 the shade on a hot and lonely day.
 I close my eyes and dream my
 life away.
 Now I know that I can stop the
 rain.
 Close my eyes and slowly
 driftaway.
 Close my eyes and dream my life
 away.
 Close my eyes and slowly
 driftaway.

Babykills


 She's a revolution
 Anarchy in hell on high heels
 I get called the villain
 Washin' down my love with her
 pills
 Lips are speakin' chaos
 But her eyes are
 As blue as the sea 

 She carries Mother's Bible
 Mixes valium with her beliefs
 And you know she gets me high

 I've seen flowers and razors in
 her hair
 She's walkin' trouble with her
 innocence
 I'll just sit here thinkin' on my
 window sill
 She keeps me high, Miss Babykills

 She's sugar but she's spicy
 Licks the venom off her lips
 Dresses like a school girl
 Loves her poisoned fingertips
I just know I love her
Sent from up above for me
And you know she gets me high 

I've seen flowers and razors in
her hair
She's talkin' trouble with her
innocence
I just sit here thinkin' on my
window sill
She keeps me high, Miss Babykills

I've seen flowers and razors in
her hair
She's walkin' trouble with her
innocence
I just sit here thinkin' on my
window sill
She takes me higher
Takes me higher

I've seen flowers and...
I've seen razors blades
I just sit here dreamin of my
latest fill
She steals' my heart, Miss
Babykills

Livin' In The No
