Jack McBrayer (born May 27, 1973) is an American actor and comedian. He gained national exposure for his characters on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He is best known for portraying Kenneth Parcell on the television series 30 Rock, a role for which he received an Emmy nomination in 2009.
McBrayer was born in Georgia and studied theater at the University of Evansville.
McBrayer worked at Second City and iO from 1995 to 2002, an experience that introduced him to 30 Rock creator Tina Fey and prepared him "100 percent" for his role in her show.
From 2002-2004, McBrayer appeared in over 80 sketches on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, often lampooning his own Southern upbringing by playing stereotypical hillbilly characters. On August 10, 2007 and September 20, 2008 he made a cameo appearance on Late Night playing his character (Kenneth Parcell) from 30 Rock. During the first appearance, O'Brien remarked to him, "I thought you were above this now." McBrayer also reprised his Kenneth the Page role twice (November 24, 2009 and January 13, 2010) after O'Brien's switch to The Tonight Show, and has appeared on Conan's Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour at stops in Eugene, Oregon, Universal City, California (on the Universal Studios lot where O'Brien taped Tonight), and the final tour stop in Atlanta, in his home state of Georgia.
He's given us five years. The least we could do is give him an hour.
Experience his greatest moments... without losing sleep over it!
Celebrate 5 Years of Conan!
You've Come A Long Way Baby!
Drop, They thought he was done dawg,
but he's back bigger, better, stronger and free (ha ha ha),

Watch this,
Im here to remind you, just in case you forgot,
MR 305 no label stay hot,
38 choppers, but please no glock,
used to move work but had no trap no block no spot,

so she told me to get the fuck out the pad,

caught her fuckin' round with her wellas crib,
thank god for music my saviour,
thats what helped me fight Xavier,
don't believe these rappers and what they play ya,
I wanna be owner, fuck a playa,
shit better say it,
I am an owner, bitch!
I got the city on my back and I won't surrender,
let 'em know now that they gon' remember,
City on my back and I won't surrender,
let 'em know now that they gon' remember,
they don't know (what I got into),
they don't know (everything I been through),
they don't know (what it takes to get through),
they don't know, they don't know,
Chorus
My life, pain,
struggle, hustle, grind,
them boys knock me down,
you must be out yo fuckin' mind,
My mom taught me to fight,
Dade county raised me right,
and we gon' take over this thing,
put down my fuckin' life,
Lemme come back, I've been here for years,
grindin', blood, sweat and tears.
I don' gave the game my life,
turned the streets from my bitch to my wife,
Every mornin' I woke up to the same shit,
Everybody sayin' that I ain't shit,
Them boys in the streets on that hate shit,
Them boys on the same street doin' that same shit,
Planned to move bricks, but it's 8 balls,
y'all want me, I hate y'all but I ate y'all,
young and stay, we realest,
i'm on my way to the show,
gettin' paid, marvellous rates,
you the ace im the spade,
cut cut gay, buck buck spray,

this duck duck hey, plus hey duct tape ace that.
I got the city on my back and I won't surrender,
let 'em know now that they gon' remember,
City on my back and I won't surrender,
let 'em know now that they gon' remember,
they don't know (what I got into),
they don't know (everything I been through),
they don't know (what it takes to get through),
they don't know, they don't know,
Chorus
My life, pain,

My mom taught me to fight,
Dade county raised me right,
and we gon' take over this thing,

Now you can stack the world against me,

you could bet your life against me,
bet your ass I'm gonna win,
you take that chance, you roll them dice,
i prove you wrong, you prove me right,
so damn what they say anywayyyy
What y'all thought y'all wasn't gon' see me?
I'm the Osiris of this shit
Wu-Tang is here forever, motherfuckers
It's like this ninety-seven
Aight, my niggaz an' my niggarettes
Let's do it like this
Imma rub your ass in the moonshine
Let's take it back to seventy-nine
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies an' hypothesis
Can't define how I be droppin' these mockeries
Lyrically, perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
Tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millennium
Killa B's sold fifty gold, sixty platinum
Shacklin' the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets, Queen B's ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score, take flight, incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, die hard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin' swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds an' pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin' live on your hottest block
As the world turns, I spread like germs
Bless the globe with the pestilence, the hard-headed never learn
It's my testament to those burned
Play my position in the game of life, standin' firm
On foreign land, jump the gun out the fryin' pan
Into the fire, transform into the Ghostrider, a six-pack
An' 'A Streetcar Named Desire', who got my back?
In the line of fire holdin' back, what?
My peoples, if you with me, where the fuck you at?
Niggaz is strapped an' they tryin' to twist my beer cap
It's court adjourned for the bad seed from bad sperm
Herb got my wig fried like a bad perm
What the blood clot? We smoke pot an' blow spots
You wanna think twice, I think not
The Iron Lung ain't gotta tell you where it's comin' from
Guns of Navarone, tearin' up your battle zone
Rip through your slums
I twist darts from the heart, tried an' true
Loop my voice on the LP, martini on the slang rocks
Certified chatterbox, vocabulary 'Donna talkin'
Tell your story walkin'
Take cover kid, what? Run for your brother, kid
Run for your team an' your six camp rhyme groupies
So I can squeeze with the advantage an' get wasted
My deadly notes reigns supreme
Your fort is basic compared to mine
Domino effect, arts an' crafts
Paragraphs contain cyanide
Take a free ride on my dart, I got the fashion
Catalogs for all y'all to all praise to the Gods
The saga continues Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang
Olympic torch flamin', we burn so sweet
The thrill of victory, the agony, defeat
We crush slow, flamin' deluxe slow
For Judgment Day cometh, conquer, it's war
Allow us to escape, Hell glow spinnin' bomb
Pocket full of shells out the sky, Golden Arms
Tune spit the shitty Mortal Kombat sound
The fateful step make the blood stain the ground
A jungle junkie, vigilante tantrum
A death kiss, catwalk, squeeze another anthem
Hold it for ransom, tranquilized with anesthesias
My orchestra, graceful, music ballerinas
My music, Sicily, rich California smell
An axekiller adventure, paint a picture well
I sing a song from Sing-Sing, sippin' on Ginseng
Righteous wax chaperon, rotatin' ring king
Watch for the wooden soldiers, C Cypher Punks couldn't hold us
A thousand men rushin' in, not one nigga was sober
Perpendicular to the square, we stamp gold like Fleer
Escape from your Dragon's Lair, in particular
My beats travel like a vortex through your spine
To the top of your cerebrum cortex
Make you feel like you bust a nut from raw sex
Enter through your right ventricle, clog up your bloodstream
Now terminal like Grand Central Station
Program fat baselines on Novation
Gettin' drunk like a fuck, I'm duckin' five year probation
War of the masses, the outcome, disastrous
Many of the victim family save they ashes
A million names on walls engraved in plaques
Those who went back, received penalties for the axe
Another heart is torn as close ones mourn
Those who stray, niggaz get slayed on the song
The track renders helpless an' suffers from multiple stab wounds
An' leaks sounds that's heard
Ninety-three million miles away from came one
To represent the Nation
This is a gathering of the masses
That come to pay respects to the Wu-Tang Clan
As we engage in battle, the crowd now screams in rage
The high chief Jamel-I-Reef take the stage
Light is provided through sparks of energy
From the mind that travels in rhyme form
Givin' sight to the blind
The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum
Death, only one can save self from
This relentless attack of the track spares none
Yo, yo, yo, fuck that, look at all these crab niggaz laid back
Lampin' like them gray an' black Puma's on my man's rack
Codeine was forced in your drink
You had a Navy Green salamander fiend
Bitches never heard you scream
You two-faces, scum of the slum, I got your whole body numb
Blowin' like Shalamar in eighty-one
Sound convincin', thousand dollar court by convention
Hands like Sonny Liston, get fly permission
Hold the fuck up, I'll unfasten your wig, bad luck
I humiliate, separate the English from the Dutch
It's me, black nobled you Ali
Came in threes, we like the Genovese, is that so?
Caesar needs the green, it's Earth
Ninety-three million miles from the first
Rough turbulence, the wave burst, split the megahertz
Aiyyo, that's amazin', gun in your mouth talk, verbal foul hawk
Connect thoughts to make my man child walk
Swift notarizer, Wu-Tang, all up in the high-riser
New York Yank' visor, world tranquilizer
Just a dosage, delegate my Clan with explosives
While my pen blow lines ferocious
Mediterranean, see y'all, the number one draft pick
Tear down the Beat God, then delegate the God to see God
The swift chancellor, flex the white gold tarantula
Track truck diesel, play the Weed God, substantiala
Max mostly undivided, then slide in, sickenin'
Ladies and Gentlemen
I ain't trynna be politically correct
But I won't rest till I'm givin my respect
And my vision isn't set on the money I get
But more less the vest I'm comin for ya'll neck
I ain't [? ] just feelin how you felt when you came [? ] change is imminent
I ask Mr. Wst for a lil bit of hope realize us new niggas gotta get it ourself
So I dreamed of presentin myself and the only thing I fear is I being shelved
The cocky, liveliest for nobody, book so many bitches couldn't of been in cum laude
Fuck the comradery with B rate artists
I'm ballin you niggas is Arliss so watch this
Always knew where the pot was
With no receivers had the pickin of a option
Tommie Frazier on the mulfuckin one or two's
Or Michael Vick if ya'll bark nigga ya'll through
Yea, 25, 25, 25 can I get 30 my side jones is fat and my freak jones is purdy
Why? Cause I Mac like Bernie and she swallow everything like Kirby
Not punkette but I hit it then I duck a bitch
And older women put a nigga on their Bucket list
Me against you the movie of the year
Cause you slum dawg and I'm the millionaire
Their buzz internet and mines in her net
Should know I'm winnin that Chanel fitted cap
I know they suck I'm just showin you where my city at
Where fiends always on that water like a lily pad
But since Mark put a nigga on that lily track
I had the British shows talkin bout bring him back
But that's a shitty accent you should've figured that
Cause I been drinkin till the point that I'm a dizzy rap
Scab, fix up look shop joe
Oh my problems come and go
I need the one
I need the one
Oh my life goes fast and slow
I need the one
I need the one
I need the one
All I want is perfect life with you
I need the one
Street fighting man
He's a hard one yes indeed
Just got in from Houston
Who knows when he'll leave
Made his reputation
In small town southern bars
Everyone respects him
Treats him like a star
Street fighter
Street fighting man
(You got to)
Watch yourself today
While you're on the run
Cover the tracks
That you lay down
Your time is gonna come
(Yes it is)
He's got a lady waiting
Back home in New Orleans
A Louisana sweetheart
They call the Southern Queen
He promised her
They'd settle down
And make a home someday
But he said, "Babe,
You've got to wait awhile.
I've got one last debt to pay."
He met his man at Steeler's Inn
Where they play
Cards for pay
In a flash
Two shots were fired
And one man rode away
The crowd began
To circle him
As he lay there dying
And in the night
He thought he heard
His sweetheart lady crying
I was brought up in the backstreets
A motherless son with no family
Out on my own to face reality
I heard my dear daddy was just like me
CHORUS:
I'm a nature's child
I'm a nature's child
On the loose, runnin' wild
I live my life
Like I wanna live
I got no reasons that I have to give
Now no one's got
No chains on me
I'll tell you somethin' baby
It's the way it should be
CHORUS
Questions of mind - that words never answer
A test of the heart - we face all alone
Are we wasting time - I can't help to wonder
Still we go on - I know that I can't let you go
Chorus:
I'm in love with you (all over)
I'm in love with you (all over)
After all that we've been through
All over again
Deep in the night lying beside you
It's se easy to feel the love that we share
Your body's so warm - and I need to hold you
Close to my heart, tight in my arms, all of my life
Chorus
You are the one I keep runnin' to
Runnin' back to your arms
All over again
"Get outta here
Leave me alone"
An' she slammed the door right in my face
I know I was a little late but
I can't communicate
If romance is a race
So I knocked again
An' marched on in
Said "Baby let me state my case.
Lovers can be cruel but I don't wanna.
Why must you act like a prima donna?"
CHORUS:
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in love
This messin' around is bringing me down
With my woman in love
You say I'm crazy
No good and lazy
But you keep comin' back for more?
If you're after the money, then back off honey
I've been down that road before
So take it or leave it
But baby don't tease it
Your games are such a bore
I don't understand your philosophy
Why must our love be a tragedy?
CHORUS
I don't know which way to turn
Makin' me crazy try to understand
What it means to be a man
Although I seem cruel I'm tryin' the best I can
Sometimes you treat me so low-down dirty
Baby I think we should...
Sit down and talk it over
CHORUS
We've been five years working in a
Rock and roll band
Blasting heavy metal right
Across the land
I know if we're good
And we see the light
We could tour the U.S.A.
I think we might
Playin' really loud
To overflowin' crowds
Every night
Party with people and rock until
The morning light
It's taken so long
To make it this far
What's another day
Of rock 'n' roll
It's taken so long
To make it this far
What's another day
Of rock 'n' roll
Well, my friends try to tell me
That we're wasting our time
But I'll put our rockin'
Music on the line
We're going to make it big
Just you wait and see
I ain't letting people
Get the better of me
We're going to make
The people get higher
And I know my moment
We got to set the world on fire
Now people got to line
Wherever we go
Trying to get a ticket
To our headline show
We're packing screaming crowds
In right to the door
15,000 people watch them
Yell for more
Now everybody calls us
Trying to get a minute of our time
Well I think it's safe to say
Nowadays we're doing fine
Spotlights
Houselights ready to cue
Backstage smoke is risin'
Steamin' like a witch's brew
I want to play some rock 'n' roll
I want to sing the blues
Yes I know
I feel it comin'
Let the party roll
When the lights go down
We're ready to play the blues
When the lights go down
It's time to light, time to light, time to light the fuse
Oh no
They're screamin' like the 4th of July
Hollywood comes to your hometown
Hammers cocked and ready to fire
I've got itchy fingers
For the trigger tonight
And I'm tired of waitin'
So tired
It's four in the morning, there's not a soul around
This dirty hotel room has really got me down
A modern day minstrel, they got my name in lights
I wish these days of glamor didn't have these lonely nights
I'm on the road to fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad
I guess I'm makin' payments of the dues that must be paid
I cash another song into this endless masquerade
Halfway through the circuit and headed for the coast
Been gone so long I can't remember what I miss the most, ah, but
Me and Johnny Walker and the comfort that he brings
Waitin' on the telephone that never ever rings
On the lonely road of fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad
I got the blues and I got them really bad
The suitcase blues are the worst I ever had
All by my lonesome and I'm halfway 'round the bend
I don?t mind drinkin' solo but I sure could use a friend
Oh, me and Johnny Walker and the comfort that he brings
Waitin' on the telephone that never ever rings
On the lonely road of fortune
Time and time and time again
Time after time after time
Round and round and round again
Time never waits
Time never ends
All of your life
All the time
Goes on by
By and by and by
Everybody welcome to the show
I gotta message that you oughta know
Stand in the aisles
Stand on the seats
Clap you hands an' stomp your feet
C'mon girl, let's raise some hell
It's a time to scream and it's time to yell
CHORUS:
Let's tear the roof off tonite
Tear the roof off tonite
The fuse is ready to light
Tear the roof off tonite
Hey listen, if you got the time
I see a lady she's at least a nine
She's ready to rock, ready to roll
C'mon girl let's lose control
Stick with me an' you'll feel alright
As long as you stay for the show tonite
CHORUS
C'mon baby, shake me up
My head is spinnin' like a top
I got me a rock and roll machine
Let's hear ya shout, hear ya scream
Tell me that you love me like I knew you would
The party here never felt so good
CHORUS
Take my heart
I lay it out before you in my song
I play my part
And hope against all hope
You play along
Take my heart
Take this magic from my mind
Take my heart
Take the dreams you always
Hoped to find
CHORUS:
Take my song, take my heart
Give my dreams a chance to start
Take my song, take my heart
Take my love
I wear a song to mask my awkward face
The music helps to fill the empty space
I wish that I could hide it all away
Instead it shows in every note I play
And I play
And I play
CHORUS
[instrumental]
Late in the evening
Emotions running wild
The shivers in your fingers tell no lies
I know I make you crazy
I don't want to break your heart
CHORUS:
Bout ooh, ooh come with me girl
Running in the night
Tonight
Stay with me until the morning light
Tonight
I can feel the passion burning
Tonight
Time goes on and on
Until the well runs dry
Waiting won't turn water into wine
Stand still for a moment
And you're frozen for all time
CHORUS
Ooh, ooh girl come with me
Tonight
We'll make the fire grow
Listen to the sirens in your soul
Got a lot on my mind I want to tell you
I don't know where to start
You're gettin' way outta line I want to tell you
You're actin' too damn smart
This little game you're playin'
Has lost its fun somehow
You had me goin' but I figured it out
An' I'm not playin', I'm not playin' now
CHORUS:
Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Nothin' you can do to make me stay
Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Say goodbye, it's the only thing to say
Then I'll be on my way
Little girl, dressed to kill
I see through your disguise
You wanna be big time but you never will
Cuz I see through all your lies
You say you're somethin' special
Well you talk a real good game
But now the party's over
An' you just don't sound
You just don't sound the same
CHORUS
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
CHORUS
I see the passion that burns in your eyes
And I feel the spirit inside of me rise
When it starts in me
In the heart of me
There's a part of me burning tonight
PRE-CHORUS:
When she calls to you, no matter what you do
She'll be claiming you,
Taking you higher and higher
CHORUS:
Play with the fire
With a hunger that runs in your soul
Burning desire
Is taking you out of control
There's no fighting it
No denying it
Something's inside of us
Driving us closer tonight...into the fire
Time marches on, but love never dies
The risks that we run will keep it alive
She will come again (2nd time - Here she comes again)
Like a burning flame
And you can't stop the pain of desire,
When she calls to you...
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Here's she comes again
Like a burning flame
And you can't stop the pain of desire,
Out in the streets inspiration comes hard
The joker of the deck keeps handin' me his card
Smilin' friendly he takes me in
Then breaks my back in a game I can't win
Jivin', hustlin', what's it all about?
Everybody always wants the easy way out
Thirty golden pieces for the Judas kiss
What's a nice boy doin' in a place like this?
Never surrender
Keep your dreams alive
Never surrender
Hold your head up high
Modern apathetics, you got plenty of nothing to say
Some are born to follow, some will make their own way
Today you found a hero tomorrow you'll forget
You're looking for a convenient
Truth you haven't found it yet
You don't make commitments no time for regrets
You never take responsibility
Don't you know that part of you is a part of me?
Never surrender
Keep your dreams alive
Never surrender
Hold your head up high
Never surrender, it's easier said than done
But you got to finish what's already begun
Never, that's forever, seems like such a long time
But I only got one life to live, it's gonna be mine
Never surrender
We cannot be denied
Never surrender
This song is instrumental
This song is instrumental
Instrumental
[instrumental]
I need a woman who can understand
About a back door man
It ain't no movie show that's on my mind
So baby let's make plans
Cause every night, the story's the same
The stakes get high, but we just play games
Start me up, girl it won't take much
I can't get enough
CHORUS:
Get your love in a minute
It won't take all night
Get your love in a minute
Baby turn out the lights
Baby turn out the lights
I ain't lookin' for no one night stand
Don't wanna fuss or fight
No need for talkin' at the midnight hour
I know the time is right
So come on girl, I'll show you how
I need your touch, and I need it now
I hurt's so bad, I know it must be love
I can't get enough
CHORUS
[instrumental]
Come on pretty baby
Put your party dress on
Come on won't you rock-it
With me all night long
Can't we lovey-dovey like the
Way we used to do before
That's what I like
CHORUS:
Let me take you home tonite
Everything will be alright
Baby, let me get next to you
Don't you try and tell me girl
That I'm not your style,
Come on get to know me
For a little while
Can't we lovey-dovey like the
Way we used to do before
That's what I like
CHORUS
The way you shake and shimmy
Girl you drive me wild
When you touch me girl
You set my soul on fire
Can't we lovey-dovey like the
Way we used to do before
That's what I like
CHORUS
In the night, in the darkness
Love can grow or love will die
Such a strange situation
Thought I heard somebody cry
I found love, inspiration
We had time, so much to share
Came the night, came the darkness
I reached out and she wasn't there
CHORUS:
There's a voice in the night
Cryin' in the night
Can't you hear it
Can't you hear it
So much pain, persecution
Disillusion and despair
I think I need some consolation
I think I need someone to care
All my dreams, gone forever
I feel them fade
And drift away
Now I cry, cry, cry in the darkness
Can't you hear what I'm tryin' to say
CHORUS
You tell yourself,
Don't be lonely don't be scared
An' everything will be alright
But the darkness comes
An' then you hear
All those voices in the night
In the night
A time will come when you are lonely
When you get scared and too weak to fight
Then you will cry, cry, cry in the darkness
An' you'll be just another
Voice out in the night
CHORUS
If only I could change the world
With just a simple song
If only I could keep my words
From coming out all wrong
If only I could make you see another point of view
If only wishes would come true
If only once upon a time
Could be the here and now
If only make-believe could make
Believers of us all
If only I could touch the dream
So deep inside of you
If only wishes would come true
If only, if only,
Wishes would come true
If only, if only,
I could get to you
Maybe we could make a wish come true
If only I could change your heart
With just a simple song
If only I could stop the world
From turning out all wrong
If only everybody wished
The same things that I do
There would be hope for me and you
We're sending out the invitation
Come and join the celebration
This old town is up to something
Everybody's really jumpin'
Rock 'n' roll is dynamite
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Rock me baby like a long lost friend
Then roll me over and do it again
I'm so high I'm on the ceiling
Everybody's got the feeling
The music's like pure dynamite
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Ladies and gentlemen lend me an ear
I got the news that you been waitin' to hear
It's no trick, it's a rock 'n' roll treat
The heavy metal kids're dancin' in the street
This whole town is really havin' a ball
Even got 'em rockin' down at City Hall
I never ever seen such a beautiful sight
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Hard rock rhythm is in your soul
Baby let the good times roll
The neighbors wanna call the cops
But the party's never gonna stop
Everything is gonna be alright
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
CHORUS:
It's a hard road
A hard road to follow
It's a hard road,
It's the highway to tomorrow
Hey you, man, what do you know?
It's not so easy on the lonely road
Hey man, where do I go?
Nothin' to win, and nothin' to show
CHORUS
Hey you, human sacrifice,
You paid the road, was it worth the price?
It takes, it takes, it doesn't ask twice
You could win the world,
You could lose your life
CHORUS
You waste each precious moment
Chasing rainbows in the sky
The road lies there before you
Are you afraid to try?
You're so clever,
You're so cool
But you're just another number
Just another fool
How you thirst for sweet revenge
But you're the loser in the end
CHORUS
And when it's said and done And the hard road claims you
Even though it won
No one really blames you
The truth gets lost
But the legend will grow
Yesterday's victim...tomorrow's hero
Hey Mama, say what you wanna
Tell me it's all up to you
I know you've been runnin' all over town, honey
But what should I do?
Love can run hot, love can turn cold
Break your heart in two or so I've been told
Yes I know, oh baby, I want you to hear what I say
I'm a fool for your love
Yes I am
Your live is vicious, slightly malicious
Coiled like a snake in your heart
Man is a hard one, cold as a handgun
Like I was at the start
But I keep lettin' love get the better of me
My head is spinnin', honey
Can't you see what I need
Oh baby, I want you to hear what I say
I'm a fool for you love
Oh baby, I want you to hear what I say
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love
[instrumental]
[instrumental]
Empty inside
Empty inside
Scared and alone
So far from home
Lonely and tired
(Empty inside)
No place to go
No place to hide
All you got left is
Your will to survive
Empty inside
What have you found?
Won't you give it a try?
Is it someone to love?
Is it something to fill the
Empty inside?
Still got your pride
Better run for your life
You're scared and alone
You run on your own
Shakin' down to the bone
Down to the bone
Down to the bone
(Empty inside)
Still got your pride
Better run for your life
You're scared and alone
You run on your own
Shakin' down to the bone
Down to the bone
Down to the bone
(Empty inside)
Empty inside
(Empty inside)
Empty inside
Empty inside
Empty inside
You say your vices, ain't so bad
Don't need alibis, feels so good
To pump it up, don't need reasons why
I know the chase is a thrill
As the vultures move in for the kill
Somethin's got to give
On the edge of excess
The ace is high, Jokers wild
Jack on the left and right
You slip right through that looking glass
Can you believe the sight
Comin' down stone cold
Somethin's gone right out of control
Better watch your step
CHORUS:
On the edge of success
Your twist of fate will arrive
On the edge of excess
You're wanted dead or alive
Can you tell me now
Can you handle it boy, I've got to know
It seems like a long time
You're got such a long way to go
Such a mountain to climb, to get back
But just, just, just one more...
CHORUS
Life goes by
And things get slower
Everyday I get a little lower
Need some time to get my moving
I need a woman
To give me some soothin'
Easy life, easy times
Got no reason, got no rhyme
Easy life, slip through my hand
Easy life, easy times
I've been up and down
Three times now
Got to find a place to hide now
Easy life slipped
Through my hands
Easy women
And rock and roll bands
Easy life, easy times
Got no money or got no lines
Lookin' for a better way
Got to cash in on the dues
That I pay
Had a woman
I didn't understand
I showed her where it's at
With the back of my hand
I know there's a time
For living
I'm aware of that
We all must die
But why must my young life
End so soon
Such a shame
To weep and cry
In the night
Someone is calling
And in my mind
A picture remains
People say
I've gone half crazy
People say that I'm insane
Don't take my life
Away from me
Don't take my life,
Set me free
A fire is burning
And time is driftin' away
They say that I killed
My dear brother
This terrible crime I didn't do
Even my own momma said
Baby what's come over you
People judge and peer
Down at me
As tears stream
Down my face
I can't find a reason
Or any rhyme
I think there must be
Some mistake
As only I stand witness
To my plea
People shake their heads
And pity me
Sentencing has dealt
The final blow
To live my life
Remaining on death row
Pretty picture in the mirror
Just an angel from the stars above
Causing such a sensation
Will she score on the streets of love
She's a movie queen in the making
A cinderella in waiting
Late in the night
CHORUS:
She's a child of the city
Dressed to thrill
She's got all the right moves
Child of the city, say you will
Temptation's gonna find ya
Ridin' high on a silver spoon
Street walking on the wild side
Bad boys howlin' at the moon
They're sayin' "Are you old enough
Are you willing"
As they bare their fangs for the killing
Late in the night
CHORUS
Little angel in a thin disguise
That devil woman can surely hypnotize
CHORUS
And from where I stand
I reach my hand
To catch a love blow
But the selfish stare
Though electric air
Is a blinding light show
I see the face
That has no place
But somehow knows
The truth is clear
But hiding here
In the blinding light show
The blinding light show
The place is strange
The colors change
The dancer slows
And shifts his pace
And lifts his face
Into the blinding light show
A naked heart is
Quickly torn apart
And the burning grows
When you try to think
It only makes you sink
Into the blinding light show
The blinding light show
The blinding light show
And while the crowd keeps
Calling out "Hoorah"
Their greedy hands
Keep clutching out
"Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah"
The aimless mob is calling out
"Hoorah"
And unseen candles
Burning out
"Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah"
The blinding light show
The blinding light show
And the sounds of truth
Ring hollow
In this pretense world of show
And the footlights
Burn their pathways
As the profits come and go
And the seeming some-day singer
Lives the Carney Barker's dream
Selling all by saying nothing in
The language of a scream
The language of a scream
And the blind shall
Lead the sighted
As we lose the candle glow
No one knows tomorrow
In the blinding light show
The blinding light show
The blinding light show
I want to tell you
A little story
I want to whisper
In your ear
I wanna get
Your engine running
I wanna slip you into gear
I got a present in my pocket
All I've gotta give
A little present
>From the Rocket
All I've gotta give
Come on and be my lover
I'll take you under cover
Come on and be my lover
All I'll be your lovin' man
You're got to feel it
Deep inside girl
You got to take it
When it comes
You'll never know
Until you're tried girl
Please don't stop
What's just begun
I've got a burning in my body
Baby I'm on fire
I ain't asking
Nothing naughty
But won't you get me higher
instrumental
My teacher told me, "Boy, you're no good
Just because you don't do what you should
You better shape up, or you're gonna fail."
But I said, "I'm leavin', cuz this is a jail."
An' I know what you're thinkin'
But don't pity me, oh no
I'll be better off out on my own
CHORUS:
I can survive
I can survive just fine
I can survive
I can survive on my own
They tried to tell me, they tried to sell me
Play music like this, if you want to be smart
But I said, "Listen, here's what you're missin'
Music's got to have a heart."
They put me through many changes
Faces and names are clear
But I'll just leave my music
Ringin' louder in their ears
CHORUS
Now you should know just what to do
Don't let other people take advantage of you now
Don't think twice, no don't hesitate
Shoot for the top, you gotta deal with fate
And I know that you'll understand
You got the power, baby, in your hands, yeah
CHORUS
Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me
Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right
Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night
You want to think you're different, but you know you never can
You're just another ordinary man
Hey politician, can't believe a word you say
Almighty media, whose truth d'you sell today?
Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you?
Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to?
The more I get to see, the less I understand
I'm just another ordinary man
CHORUS:
Ordinary man
Comes a time to take a stand
No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can
The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman
Everybody plays the game they played since time began
Lawyers and accountant - your media man
Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said
You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head
I see the flash of lightnin'
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knive, a slice of life
It cuts another soul
Power finds a way to those who take a stand
Stand up ordinary man
Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free
But now I feel the chains of its responsibility
I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe
I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith
I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can
That's the only answer...for an ordinary man
CHORUS
No such thing as easy answers
You play to win and you take your chances
CHORUS
Here's to health, here's to wealth
May you never doubt yourself
CHORUS
In his mind
Burns the picture of a girl
Lost in time
Just one lie had changed his world
His dreams were gone
And she won't be back again
This time he's sure
She's playin' a game, playin'
Mind games, mind games
She was playin' with his heart
Mind games, never change
And it's tearin' him apart
In her eyes
There's a hurt that just won't heal
And she cries
For the love she's lost and her heart
No longer feels the fire
She can never get it back again
Wounds never heal
At night, she remembers the pain
Remembers the pain of
Mind games, mind games
He was playin' with her heart
Mind games, never change
And it's tearin' her apart
Mind games, mind games
How were they to know that
They were caught up in this game
That hurts so bad?
As the years go by
They see the mistakes they've made
Now they're payin' the price
All the games they played
They should have known it from the start
It's the game of broken hearts
Yes, it's gone
And it won't be back again
Late at night
Time after time
They remember the pain
Remember the pain, playin'
Mind games, they're all the same
It's the game of broken hearts
Mind games, never change
And it's tearin' them apart
Mind games, mind games
How were they to know that
They were caught up in this game
That hurts so bad?
Caught up in this game
That hurts so bad
Caught up in this game
Two broken people can never go back
They blame each other for the things they lack
They have no concept of the danger they're in
There's no accounting for the wages of sin
You say that love is holding you down
I watch you walkin' away
I look for something that could turn this around
There's nothin' I can say
CHORUS:
In the middle of the night...
I'm calling
Can you hear me whisper your name
In the dying of the light...I'm falling
But it feels like the morning may never be coming again
Never again, never again
Under the table, under the gun
Under the influence of what
We've become
Heavy consequences for the things that we've done
We should have learned to talk before we started to run
Whatever happened to the love that we had?
I feel it
Slippin' away
It started good but now it's ending so bad...look at the
Price we pay
CHORUS
Too many people they walk in their sleep
Steppin' on the promises that they ought to keep
Anaesthetic people, they dance in a dream, but
Things are never quite as simple as they seem
You're keepin' all your secrets inside you
They're gonna tear you apart
Let me come and lay down beside you
Open up your heart
I'd like to re-write
History books for all time
The future, the past
The search goes on
For truth in everyone
Numbers on the wall
Counting sad young faces, count them all
The thrill of the fight
Killing's such a noble deed
And John said
Love is all we need
Should we forget
Or pause a moment to regret
Where have we been
I see things I wish I'd never seen
Chorus:
Battle cry
Brave men never fear
Battle cry
Never shed a tear
Battle cry
All good soldiers hear the battle cry
Bridge:
So many, many miles from home
Oh Lord have mercy on my soul
I think the loneliest man in the
world is a soldier
Yes I know, try to believe
Political renaissance we need
It's the will of God
That we must heed
The image fades
To blacks and blues and subtle grey
It's modern song
Where there's a will, there's a way
Every dog will have his day
Those who wait are only wastin' time
Pray for wisdom - dig for gold
Can't buy freedom by selling your soul
You gotta be willin' to give them a piece of your mind
Let a clearer conscience lead you
Don't let anyone deceive you
When your heart cries out you must obey
Chorus:
Take it all the way, we can make it
All the way, we can take it
All the way, come tomorrow, come what may
Right or wrong? You can't decide
But the loser pays and the strong survive
So take your shot, give it all you can
You better watch out, you better look around
'Cause what goes up is gonna come down
Everybody lives by the law of supply and demand
Once you've set a course don't change it
Luck will come to those who chase it
Don't let anything get in your way
Chorus x2
Power and glory and fortune and fame
There is a price you must pay
Where do you go when you know that you've gone all the way
All the way
Woman turn my head around
Woman my whole world's upside down
You come into my life and you tear it all apart
You can't put out the fire once it starts
'Til there's nothin' left to burn inside my heart
Cut the cards watch her deal
She got nerves of steel
Play with fire when you play her game
Love's desire feeds the flame
I realize I'm terrified
She's so hot can't stop
CHORUS:
Cool Down, Cool Down, you make me crazy
Makin' me hot, I gotta stop, I need a shot
Nothin' you can do or say can make her change her ways
Burns me up such a big shot girl
Got a one way ticket to a white hot world
I got the fever down to the bone
I'm on my knees, please, leave me alon
Cool Down, Cool Down, crazy, crazy
Makin' me got, I gotta stop, 'cause I need a shot
I'm on fire burnin' all the time
I tell you sweetly now
Why I can't come to bed
I'm listening to the music
That's playing in my head
While your filled
With sleepy dreams
I'm moving to the sounds
The beat keep driving
In my brain
And the words go
Round and round
I see myself up on the stage
And holding my guitar
And I can't tell
If it's Carnegie Hall
Or just some local bar
But the hands are clapping
And the place is moving
And I feel it in my soul
It's late at night
And I can't sleep
I gotta write some
Rock and roll
It drives me crazy about
Twenty-four hours a day
It's bouncing all around
In my brain
I've just got to play
While the world
Outside is quiet
And the children
Are fast asleep
But here inside
I'm rockin' 'n' rollin'
To a crazy beat
So come on come on come on
Come on boys let's play
Yeah we're gonna do it,
Do it, do it
Twenty-four hours a day
Everybody party
Twenty-four hours a day
Everybody party
Come on boys let's play
Listen baby what I say
Everybody party
Party party every day
Music holds the secret
to know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes
it's the sound inside your soul
The magic of the melody
runs through you like a stream
The notes they play
flow through your head
Like a dream
Like a dream
Like a dream
I sing this song for the common man
for the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
and I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
for everyone to share
So hold on and I will take you there
Hold on and I will take you there
The daily routine takes your soul
lost without a trace
It hold you down and turns you around
and puts you in your place
Another day another dollar
another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself
in the endless race
(chorus)
Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has
their little schemes
Listen to your heart and
hold on to your dreams
Can't you feel the magic
feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music
there's something in the air
There's a celebration
deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling
you know it can't be wrong
(chorus)
Caught up in routine
you got to break it
Time won't wait for us
e got to make it
Fate gives you the chance
you've got to take it
Take it
There's a hole in the sky that leads nowhere
A link gone missing from the chain
There's a hole in our hearts, an empty promise there
Can you tell me if we'll ever be the same
The rhetoric of power speaks a language of fear
But no border no boundaries could ever hold us here
How can the rain keep from washing all your words away?
Chorus
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Can they ever put the world back together again,
I was out on my own
in a great big world
Thought I'd seen it all
Then along comes
a woman, a fantasy
And I took the fall
I was chasing a dream
I was fancy free
I was so naive
You were all wrapped
up in a mystery
You looked good to me
And I needed love
I wanted it desperately
But oh, real love
you never came to me
I was lost in a
world of fantasy
Yeah yeah I was caught
caught in your game
of make-believe
Yeah yeah I was lost, lost
in a world of fantasy
(Lost in your world of fantasy)
(Look what you've done to me)
Look what you've done to me
(Lost in your world of fantasy)
(Look what you've done to me)
You were drawin' me
in to your spider's web
with your hungry eyes
I was under your power
I was in your spell
I was hypnotized
And oh sweet love, you
wore such a strange disguise
So neat love, the way
I fell for your lies
I was lost in a
world of fantasy
Yeah yeah I was caught
caught in your game
of make-believe
Yeah yeah I was lost, lost
in a world of fantasy
Lost in a world of fantasy
Look what it's gone
and done to me
All the times you lied
and all the tears I cried
I'm never gonna be
the same again
(Lost in your world of fantasy)
(Look what you've done to me)
Look what you've done to me
(Lost in your world of fantasy)
(Look what you've done to me)
Look what you've done to me
(Lost in your world of fantasy)
I've had a long, long time to think it over now
You're not the one I waited for
You're askin' me to let it go for now
I can't take it anymore
What did you expect?
You've thrown away your self-respect
But I'm not gonna let you take me down, so I'll see you 'round
CHORUS:
Headed for nowhere, I don't want to go there
I know you've been leading me on
Headed for nowhere, I know that you don't care, so
Don't try to drag me along
You never stopped to ask where do we go from here
You've had the answers all along
But now you see the deadline, it's drawing near
And you don't know where you went wrong
You've had it all your way
And I stood beside you, come what may
But I'm not gonna follow you no more, no more
CHORUS
(guitar solo Rik left, Steve right)
I've had a long, long time to think it over now
You're not the one I waited for
You're askin' me to let it go for now
I can't take it anymore
I know you'll never change
Playin' all your games
But I'm not gonna follow you no more, no more
Far away over the hills
And over the plains
Lawmen search for the man
With no last name
Killer killed a killer
And a killer's got
To take the blame
Life seems wasted on some
It seems such a shame
Street fighter man
You got to run while you can
Street fighter man
You got to run while you can
[Intro]
I thought my CD was done,
But that's not what they say
Do an insult track,
We need it for radio play
[Verse One]
American Idol, that's what I look for,
In the poop section of my local record store.
Ruben or Clay, oh which one should I pick,
It's like choosing which puddle of vomit to lick.
And when I want something even more fruity and fit,
I look up N for NSYNC or T for Timberlake.
So many skills Justin's making a buck at,
Does he rap, does he sing, he doesn't know what to suck at!
Now as for the bitches, lets give Britney thanks,
For the face that launched a million preteen skanks.
You were a virgin, that had to be hard,
You had more bones in your mouth than a St. Bernard.
[Chorus]
I Keed, I Keed
He's just making little jokes,
I joke with you,
Little dog, Little jokes,
I Keed, I Keed,
He's just making little jokes,
and your a good actress too.
[Verse Two]
Now lets go to Walmart,
Where they won't sell me CD,
Those company's nuts are in a jar in aisle three.
But you can see Christina in all her sluthood
It's like watching porn but the music's not as good.
I want to stuff my TV's crotch with a dollar
Still I would hump you if I could wear my flea collar.
You're looser than my poop after eating honeydew,
Only 50 cents can flunk more than you!
And yet you're too old for Fred Durst to desire,
He's checking out the cast of Lizzie McGuire
Soon Fred will try to get Mandy Moore,
To open for him and I don't mean on tour!
You're not the first person for R Kelly
His video's premiere in the LAPD.
I believe they set up an innocent guy.
You know what Kel? I believe I can fly
[Chorus]
Now look how frickin cool those guys from the Strokes are
Their rifts are three times as old as my jokes are
The white stripes guy, is that your wife or your sister
Shouldn't you be playing country music mister.
Hey Coldplay, maybe you should be Coldsore.
Back when you were U2, I liked you so much more.
Somehow your song yellow reminds me of pee
I think that when it's over, it's a big relief to me
Yo Pink, is that your hair or a tattoo?
I didn't know Supercuts had a drive through
Yo Nelly, what the hell kinda name is that?
That's about as gangster as an Easter Bonnet hat.
And Snoop says he clean, well you make the call
The guy's higher than Billy Joel's cholesterol,
Snoop there's only room for one dog putz,
And I can rap, can you lick your own nuts?
Poop Diddy, are you in show business still?
I didn't know wearing a suit was a skill.
J.Lo, J.Lo the giant tail-o
For a doggie's nose, that's the holy grail-o
Shakira's butt's fine, but it won't hold still.
I sniffed Elton John's butt for a thrill.
I sniffed J.Lo's ass and got too touchy feely
She let loose a bomb that was bigger than Gigli.
[Chorus]
Avril Lavinge, punk queen, now there's a kidder,
Go back up north, Celine needs a baby-sitter
Philip Glass, hey tunnel ass, your not immune
Write a song with a f****** tune
And on the list of pooches, don't leave off MTV,
I scared Emineminem, so they gave the hook to me.
Slim Shady, why do you find me scary?
We are just two regular dudes who banged Mariah Carey.
Wipe off that frown, just do without
Hey my mom was a bitch too, but I don't go writing songs about it.
[Chorus]
Many days
Many days have come and gone
Since we all believed
The air was ours to breathe
Many times
In the networks of our lives
We've been deceived
By those who lead
Can't you see
Can't you see
This can't go on forever
This can't go on
Down in New York
Down in New York
Down in New York town
What's the cost if another truth is lost
Inside a scheme designed to sell a dream
A baby's cryin' and New York City's dyin'
But does God know I though he ran this show
Don't you know don't you know
This can't go on down in New York
Searchin' for something
In a world that's dark and strange
When you think you've found answers
That's when the questions change
Into your hands it's fallin'
Can't you hear the future callin'
CHORUS:
Carry on the flame
Walk inside the light
The wisdom of the light
Don't ever be denied
Can never be denied
Carry on the flame
Through the darkest night
Hold it on high
Keep the fire burnin' deep inside
You live for the moment
But the moment slips away
A better tomorrow takes
Your best today
Into your hands it's fallin'
Can't you hear the future callin'
CHORUS
(King's Horses Reprise)
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Won't you try to bring the world together?
Amen...
You can set your sights a little bit higher
You can make it burn just a little bit brighter
It's your legacy, your destiny
Carry on the flame
I see the passion that burns in your eyes
And I feel the spirit inside of me rise
When it starts in me
In the heart of me
There's a part of me burning tonight
PRE-CHORUS:
When she calls to you, no matter what you do
She'll be claiming you,
Taking you higher and higher
CHORUS:
Play with the fire
With a hunger that runs in your soul
Burning desire
Is taking you out of control
There's no fighting it
No denying it
Something's inside of us
Driving us closer tonight...into the fire
Time marches on, but love never dies
The risks that we run will keep it alive
She will come again (2nd time - Here she comes again)
Like a burning flame
And you can't stop the pain of desire,
When she calls to you...
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Here's she comes again
Like a burning flame
And you can't stop the pain of desire,
When she calls to you...
People say don't ever look behind
Happiness is just a state of mind
Rock and Roll lives and breathes
in the hearts of the young
So carry on
You're runnin' on borrowed time
tryin' hard to survive
Keep on runnin'
your time in comin'
Keep your dreams alive
(chorus)
Follow your heart
(You got to Follow Your Heart)
Living for today
forget about tomorrow
Follow Your Heart
(You got to Follow Your Heart)
Any other way can
only lead to sorrow
Don't wait any longer
Follow Your Heart
Play for keeps and
try to never lose
Live it fast but live
the life you choose
Rock and Roll lives and breathes
in the hearts of the young
So let it ride
each time you roll the dice
Luck will finally arrive
Keep on runnin'
your time is comin'
Keep your dreams alive
(chorus 2x)
Oh listen to the rhythm
your heart won't lie
Rock and roll hearts
just never die, never die
CHORUS
Something's at the edge of your mind
you don't know what it is
Something you were hopin' to find
but your not sure what it is
Then you hear the music
and it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin'
says the things you want to hear
(chorus)
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power
of the music in me
(repeat)
She climbs into bed
pull the covers overhead
and turns her little radio on
She's has a rotten day so she hopes
the DJ's gonna play her favorite song
It makes her feel much better
brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power makes it better
than it seems
She's young now, she's wild now
she wants to be free
She gets the magic power
of the music in me
(repeat)
If you're thinkin' it over
but you just can't sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you
what they think it's all about
Are you the one and only
who's sad and lonely
reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin'
and it's never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise
the infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic
it's your one chance for escape
So turn me on, turn me up
it's your turn to dream
A little magic power makes it
better than it seems
(chorus repeats)
You got the power
You got the magic
Empty inside
Empty inside
Scared and alone
So far from home
Lonely and tired
(Empty inside)
No place to go
No place to hide
All you got left is
Your will to survive
Empty inside
What have you found?
Won't you give it a try?
Is it someone to love?
Is it something to fill the
Empty inside?
Still got your pride
Better run for your life
You're scared and alone
You run on your own
Shakin' down to the bone
Down to the bone
Down to the bone
(Empty inside)
Still got your pride
Better run for your life
You're scared and alone
You run on your own
Shakin' down to the bone
Down to the bone
Down to the bone
(Empty inside)
Empty inside
(Empty inside)
Empty inside
Empty inside
Empty inside
Empty inside
Makin' my way to the job each day
Slave like a dog for my hard-earned pay
When the bell rings I'm ready to run
Gonna get high, gonna have some fun
I know the boss, he don't think I'm good
Baby I'm just badly misunderstood
'Cause you know what I like
CHORUS:
I live, I live, I live for the weekend
I live, I live, I live for the weekend
Ya know ya gotta serve
Ya know ya gotta please
My baby puts my mind at ease
Friday comes 'n' I'm thinkin' of you
'Cause at five o'clock, they're gonna set me loose
Come on, babe, we're gonna live it up
Don't ya know that
I can't get enought
Of your sweet love
CHORUS
I know, babe, you don't think I'm good
But, you got me badly understood
An' I know what I like
CHORUS
We're sending out the invitation
Come and join the celebration
This old town is up to something
Everybody's really jumpin'
Rock 'n' roll is dynamite
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Rock me baby like a long lost friend
Then roll me over and do it again
I'm so high I'm on the ceiling
Everybody's got the feeling
The music's like pure dynamite
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Ladies and gentlemen lend me an ear
I got the news that you been waitin' to hear
It's no trick, it's a rock 'n' roll treat
The heavy metal kids're dancin' in the street
This whole town is really havin' a ball
Even got 'em rockin' down at City Hall
I never ever seen such a beautiful sight
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Hard rock rhythm is in your soul
Baby let the good times roll
The neighbors wanna call the cops
But the party's never gonna stop
Everything is gonna be alright
WE GOT A HOT TIME IN THIS CITY TONIGHT
Droolin' like a dog on a Saturday night
I've got a fist full of money
And I'm feelin' alright
Lookin' for trouble like young boys do
I've got a bad reputation and an attitude
Ridin' with the devil
We're tearin' up this town
Hear my motor screaming
Let's put the hammer down
CHORUS:
It's the boys night out
Dogs begin to howl
It's the boys night out
The dogs are howlin' tonight
Walkin' on the wild side out of control
We're a hard act to follow
Let the good times roll
Better lock up your daughters
When we knock on your door
You know we love 'em and leave 'em
Begging for more
Hidin' in the alley
Running from the law man's noose
There's a full moon risin'
The boys are on the loose
CHORUS
I know there's a time
For living
I'm aware of that
We all must die
But why must my young life
End so soon
Such a shame
To weep and cry
In the night
Someone is calling
And in my mind
A picture remains
People say
I've gone half crazy
People say that I'm insane
Don't take my life
Away from me
Don't take my life,
Set me free
A fire is burning
And time is driftin' away
They say that I killed
My dear brother
This terrible crime I didn't do
Even my own momma said
Baby what's come over you
People judge and peer
Down at me
As tears stream
Down my face
I can't find a reason
Or any rhyme
I think there must be
Some mistake
As only I stand witness
To my plea
People shake their heads
And pity me
Sentencing has dealt
The final blow
To live my life
Remaining on death row
Joey left when he was 16
Black leather and blue jeans
Too young to take a stand
Gang life was like quicksand
Pack o' smokes and a bottle o'Jack was
A good friend, that didn't talk back much
Young dude on a roll,
Fast time take a toll
Brother was a big shot lawyer
Said the street life's gonna destroys ya
Sister was an uptown model
Said your whole life's in that bottle
CHORUS:
Black sheep, Black sheep
Bad boy of the family
Two strikes against him from the start
Black sheep, Black sleep
Livin' life out of the street
Paid the price that left a scar
Good times and a couple of laughs were
Just what, Joe was after
Love came ina girl named Jane
She tried to keep him tame
It's hard to walk the line
Born under a bad sign
The city was an ice cold place
Pain was written in Joey's face
Lord knows that he was a hard one
Switchblade and a .38 handgun
Joey got two years in the State Penn
He's coming back
But he just don't know when
CHORUS
Doin' time got Joey thinkin'
Started prayin' and he gave up drinkin'
Parole's comin' in six months maybe
Not knowin' Jane's having his baby
CHORUS
Left jail straight as an arrow
Gonna stay on the straight and narrow
He loves Jane, and he loves little Joey
Lord knows
Take my heart
I lay it out before you in my song
I play my part
And hope against all hope
You play along
Take my heart
Take this magic from my mind
Take my heart
Take the dreams you always
Hoped to find
CHORUS:
Take my song, take my heart
Give my dreams a chance to start
Take my song, take my heart
Take my love
I wear a song to mask my awkward face
The music helps to fill the empty space
I wish that I could hide it all away
Instead it shows in every note I play
And I play
And I play
CHORUS
Like an arrow through the heart
She was the one that got away
Seemed like yesterday that
You couldn't tear us apart
But then we never realized Love was a compromise
Too many sleepless nights
Too many jealous fights
It hurt the night I told her
Oh baby, it's all over
CHORUS:
It's over, this can't go on,
All over, cause the feeling's gone
Wonder if I'll survive alone again
Sometimes I just want to hold her
But it's over
Young and foolish of heart
We were two gypsies on the run
Into the setting sun
Shattered pictures tell the tale,
Their crying love is a tragedy
Of tears and broken dreams
Just like a sad old song
Who knows where we went wrong
I dread the day I told her
Oh baby, it's over
CHORUS
>From the time that I was born
The walls of trouble I adorned
Mama tried to teach me well
But I was busy raisin' hell
I've got a taste for fighting
Hands as fast as lightning
Can't you see the writing on the walls
CHORUS:
Troublemaker
Always last in line
Troublemaker, livin' on borrowed time
I don't wait for Lady Luck, I take her
Troublemaker
They call me bad but I'm number one
Watch out the good die young
Spent my life runnin' wild
Call me the devil's child
Don't play with me cause I'm fire
A loaded gun for hire
My trigger finger's itching for the kill
CHORUS
>From the time that I was born
It's like a scar that I have worn
My mama tried to teach me well
I was much too busy raisin' hell
Got a taste for fighting
Hands as fast as lightning
Can't you see the writing on the wall
CHORUS
I've been your victim, I've been your fool
You terrorize, you break the rules
I've had enough of your games
I can't take it anymore
Your pretty poison's gonna make me blind
I've had it baby, I've made up my mind
I'm tired of wasting my time
And I told you before
I'll say it once again
CHORUS:
I turn my back on love
Don't fight about it
Or beg for sympathy
I turn my back on love
I'm right about it
Oh baby set me free
Oh baby set me free
I've been mistreated, I've been misused,
I've paid the price, Yes I've paid my dues
You had me under your spell
Like some voodoo child
Your love potion got the best of me
You left me nothin' but my dignity
Ain't nothin' you can say
You got no alibis So I'll say it once again
CHORUS
You may be runnin', tryin' to find your way
Haunted by the memories of yesterday
You may be crying,
You say your dreams have slipped away
But hold on to the promise of another day
And when the nights are long
Girl remember, wait for the stars to shine
CHORUS:
Somewhere tonight
There's a lonely girl with a heart that's achin'
Somewhere tonight, she's hanging on
Somewhere tonight
She's still holdin' on to her dreams and waiting
Searching for love, somewhere tonight
Villians and heroes
I've seen 'em rise, I've seem 'em fall
A little bit of both of them, is inside us all
Baby you can't deny it
Your time is gonna come
Send off your dreams in a bottle
And pray to the rising sun
And when the lights go down
Just remember, wait for the stars to shine
CHORUS
Love has the power to make you so high
Love has the power to tear you apart
There comes a time when love brings
A tear to your eye, so don't give it up
Baby don't give it up
CHORUS
I hate so say the feelin's gone
But I just can't keep holding on
I hope that's somethin' your heart will allow
I didn't mean to do it
I should have known from the start
I just couldn't put you through it
Sometimes I just don't know
CHORUS:
What rules my heart
What rules my heart
What rules my heart
What rules my heart
Mistreating you was such a crime
I know the hurt will heal in time
But that's a small consolation right now
I didn't mean to do it
I should have known from the very start
I just couldn't put you throught it
Sometimes I just don't know
CHORUS
I just don't know what rules my heart
Can't you feel the thunder, rollin' in a young man's heart
Can't you see the frustration it's tearin' him apart
He's got a hunger for power, he wants to have it all
Sometimes he feels like he's bangin' his head up against the wall
Out in the real world living a lie
Can't seem to make the change, but he can't say why
As Time Goes By
Nobody really knows what to say, tomorrow is another day
That seems a million miles away, so far away
CHORUS:
Time Goes By, bridges burn and big wheels turn and
Time can fly, will it ever bring you back again?
You know that I can't live without your love
Time Goes By, you know I'll never make it alone
Make it alone
Can't you see the fire burnin' in a young girl's eyes
Does she think that she moves ahead if she cuts me down to size
Everybody's got two cents to try to buy some time
But they don't even know their own hearts
What can they know of mine?
Call out for reasons echoes the cry
She waits, anticipates; no reply as Time Goes By
Oh baby I don't know what to say
Tomorrow is another day
You seem a million miles away, so far away
CHORUS
We all bear witness as history unfolds
Let's hope tomorrow can deliver on the promise that she holds
Don't look back in anger, don't look ahead in fear
You just keep takin' her as she comes until she comes in clear
The love you send out returns to you in time
The wheel gets turned around by those who try
For all their lives
We passed the point of no return
How can we make amends
All alone I watch the candle burn
Burnin' at both ends
Nothin's ever gonna change
Can tears wash away this pain
CHORUS:
Tears in the rain
Here it comes again
I'll never know the reason why
I cry these tears in the rain
The time has come to make a stand
We've waited much too long
Nobody's gonna lead us by the hand
How could we be so wrong?
We lost the chance to play the game
Can tears wash away this pain
CHORUS
So many times I've wondered why
We still play this game
Time is runnin' out
Hear it tickin' away
Future's closin' in
No reason to delay
Break the chains that hold you down, my friend
Don't wait any longer
Find the answers deep inside yourself
They're makin' you stronger
CHORUS:
Take a stand
In the light
It'll be all right tonight
Fire it up
Burn it bright
We can never give up the fight
We can make it all right
We can make it all right, all right tonight
Clouds are rollin' in
Hear the thunder in the distance
Lightnin' strikin' all around me
Breaks my resistance
The walls are crashin' in, the storm begins to
Tear down the system
The house is comin' down it's all around
It's high time we listened
It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I want to love you, I want to make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line?
I'm tired of playing foolish games
I'm tired of all of your lies making me insane
I don't ask for much, the truth'll do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
You got no right to make me wait
We better talk, girl, before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
You know I love you, you know it's true
It's up to you, girl, now what've I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line (lay it on the line)
Lay it on the line (don't hold me up now)
Lay it on the line (no!)
Lay it on the line (lay it on the line, girl)
Lay it on the line (oh, don't hold me up)
Lay it on the line (lay it on the line)
Andy Warhol's modern man builds a castle in the air
The deck is stacked but his house of cards
Grows as high as the market will bear
It won't take much to make his ship of dreams
Come crashing to the ground
You just wait for the wheel of fate to turn
The wind of the wolf is gonna blow it all down
Shallow rivers of fashion run on courses tried and true
Masses dive in and it washes 'em down
Makes 'em feel like they're all brand new
A blinding hatred caused by fear
Is showing in their eyes
They want their truth all black and white
But a rainbow never tells no lies to a
Stranger in a strange land
What's a man supposed to do?
I'm just a stranger in a strange land
When will the light come shining through?
When will the light shine through?
Let it shine, let it shine, oh, shine on
To feed the heart's addiction
In answer to my soul
It may not be the best of worlds
But it's the only one I know
In the shadow of Damocles' atomic sword
We learn to live with fear
Stringing out lives of quiet desperation
We're all just strangers here
Riding along on the razor edge
Burned in the acid fall
Groping in the darkness, searching for a way
To fill the empty space inside
And between us all
Stranger in a strange land
What's a man supposed to do?
When a stranger's in the strange land
We're just waiting and watching and wondering
When will the light come shining
The light come shining
The light come shining through
When will the light shine through?
Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on
If looks could kill then I know she would
She's playing the part, you know it's understood
I know the second glance was my first mistake
Well, I took the chance that I had to take
Fire in her eyes made my blood run cold
She took me by surprise and I'm
Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light
I don't make promises that I can't keep
But I better think it over, I'm in way too deep
I'm shook up, paralyzed by her icy stare
Long legs and her golden hair
Late night love is on my mind
She took me by surprise and I'm
Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light
I'm on a one way ride to where I just don't know
She put a spell on me, the fantasy comes and goes
I clear my head in the morning light
Start all over when I feel alright
I've gotta shape up before it's too late
I think I'm losin' my mind and I'm
Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line
Spellbound, will my head be clear, can I make it alright
Spellbound, can't find a reason, can't find a rhyme
Spellbound, give me a signal, show me a sign
Is it fate or random chance
How can I decide
Are we victims of circumstance
When destinies collide
All the odds are against you
But somehow you make it through
You can rationalize it away
But it all comes down to you
Half our lives we spend waiting
For the knock upon the door
When it comes, will it be the one
That I've been waiting for
CHORUS:
Somebody's out there, somewhere
Waiting for someone to come their way
Somebody's out there, somewhere
I will somehow be somebody's someone
Someday
Standing in the shadows
Hiding from the light
Reach out in the darkness
And hold on for your life
All the fear of the future
All the loneliness inside
When the moment of truth arrive, hey,
You can run but you can't hide
CHORUS
...I can feel it inside me
I've been holding on so long
Something's tellin' me something's got to give
you say only the strong survive
but the differnce between you and i
is the meaning of strong
you say its poppin a cap to fight another day
but i say its just stayin alive
no poppin caps no drugs for i
now i need you to understand
that im not tryin to be cool
but tryin to make my life
by makin a rhyme
so dont call me a fake or a wanna be
im just tryin to stay alive by my meaning of strong
so as i sit in my room
put this pen on this pad
i stay strong as long as i make a life
by makin a rhyme
so in this time i pray to the gods above
my life will change to better my future
to be strong but not fake at the same time
so you can say all the stuff behind my back
say your my freind but in the end stab me in the back
so ive got to stay strong for me myself
cause i dont want to pass away to early
in life i want to expirince the things in life
that will make me who i am
love the woman i like
and hope she loves me back
hold my son the loves to play catch
you say im a fake or a gag
but i blow you off carry on and go back to what i do best
which is spittin and rhymin so call me a fake cause i don care
Something's at the edge of your mind
you don't know what it is
Something you were hopin' to find
but your not sure what it is
Then you hear the music
and it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin'
says the things you want to hear
(chorus)
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power
of the music in me
(repeat)
She climbs into bed
pull the covers overhead
and turns her little radio on
She's has a rotten day so she hopes
the DJ's gonna play her favorite song
It makes her feel much better
brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power makes it better
than it seems
She's young now, she's wild now
she wants to be free
She gets the magic power
of the music in me
(repeat)
If you're thinkin' it over
but you just can't sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you
what they think it's all about
Are you the one and only
who's sad and lonely
reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin'
and it's never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise
the infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic
it's your one chance for escape
So turn me on, turn me up
it's your turn to dream
A little magic power makes it
better than it seems
(chorus repeats)
You got the power
Searchin' for something
In a world that's dark and strange
When you think you've found answers
That's when the questions change
Into your hands it's fallin'
Can't you hear the future callin'
CHORUS:
Carry on the flame
Walk inside the light
The wisdom of the light
Don't ever be denied
Can never be denied
Carry on the flame
Through the darkest night
Hold it on high
Keep the fire burnin' deep inside
You live for the moment
But the moment slips away
A better tomorrow takes
Your best today
Into your hands it's fallin'
Can't you hear the future callin'
CHORUS
(King's Horses Reprise)
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Won't you try to bring the world together?
Amen...
You can set your sights a little bit higher
You can make it burn just a little bit brighter
It's your legacy, your destiny
Hanging out on the corner,
He's got no place to go.
She sits in an empty bedroom
Playing the radio.
Every day they're regretting
All the things never tried;
Every day they're dyin'
Just a little bit more inside.
All the lonely people,
Waiting all their lives,
They're empty and they're aching;
You can see it in their eyes.
Time is slipping away, passing us by,
You're wondering why but it's gone,
Gone forever my friend,
and it won't come again
So don't try to pretend you feel
Fine! Killing time, killing time...
You feel it's now or never,
But the words don't seem to come.
The fabric of your dreams
Starts to come undone.
You realize it's over,
Before it has begun.
You're reaching for something special
But that someone never comes.
You're on your own now,
But you're living out a lie.
This killing time is wasting you,
I can see it in your eyes.
Time is slipping away, passing us by,
You're wondering why but it's gone,
Gone forever my friend,
and it won't come again
So don't try to pretend you feel
Fine! Killing time, killing time...
The time we waste on hate,
Full of anger and jealousy.
The times we act so cruel,
All the times you turned on me.
All those lonely yesterdays
When we were killing time.
I needed you more than ever;
Couldn't you see it in my eyes?
Time was slipping away,
Passing us by, now I could cry
Cause it's gone. Gone forever my friend
And it won't come again;
It's moved on and left us behind...
Time is slipping away, passing us by,
You're wondering why but it's gone,
Gone forever my friend,
and it won't come again
So don't try to pretend you feel
I've always wondered
What it would be like
Just you and me baby
Nothin' else
We meet again
Both of us by circumstance
Stay with me
We might never get the chance to
CHORUS:
Hold on to love
Just one night
Don't try to fight about it
Take me I'm yours
For just one night
Don't be alone
And think of what
We could have had,
You'll wonder why
You ever let this moment pass
You can't deny
We see it in each other's eyes
Close the door
Leave this lonely world outside to
I, I, I
I, I, I
We might never
Get this chance
Hold on to love
Don't try to fight about it
Take me I'm yours
When I first tasted your love
I knew I'd never get enough
Cuz, I'm hooked
Hooked on you.
When you turn on your love light
You burn me, but it's all right
Cuz, I'm hooked
Hooked on you.
CHORUS:
Hooked on it
The fire in your eyes
Hooked on it
I just can't disguise
How I feel, what can I do
Hooked on you.
You gave me just one look and babe
I swear that's all it took
And I was hooked
Hooked on you.
This heart is afflicted
Yeah, it's true.
I'm hooked on you.
Hooked on it - One touch of your hand
Hooked on it - I can't understand
People say don't ever look behind
Happiness is just a state of mind
Rock and Roll lives and breathes
in the hearts of the young
So carry on
You're runnin' on borrowed time
tryin' hard to survive
Keep on runnin'
your time in comin'
Keep your dreams alive
(chorus)
Follow your heart
(You got to Follow Your Heart)
Living for today
forget about tomorrow
Follow Your Heart
(You got to Follow Your Heart)
Any other way can
only lead to sorrow
Don't wait any longer
Follow Your Heart
Play for keeps and
try to never lose
Live it fast but live
the life you choose
Rock and Roll lives and breathes
in the hearts of the young
So let it ride
each time you roll the dice
Luck will finally arrive
Keep on runnin'
your time is comin'
Keep your dreams alive
(chorus 2x)
Oh listen to the rhythm
your heart won't lie
Rock and roll hearts
just never die, never die
The days grow shorter and
the nights are getting long
Feels like we're
running out of time
Every day it seems much harder
tellin' right from wrong
You got to read
between the lines
Don't get discouraged
don't be afraid, we can
make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better
to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets
I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit
keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do
Fight the good fight every moment
every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
it's your only way
All your life you've
been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master
of your own destiny
So give and take the
best that you can
(instrumental)
You think a little more money
will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of
something else instead
You're so afraid of
being honest with yourself
You'd better take a
look inside your head
Nothing is easy
nothing good is free
but I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart
Fight the good fight every moment
every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
make it worth the price you pay
Every moment of your lifetime
every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
You can talk
Or I can beat my head against the wall
'Cause that'd be just as easy
And I,
I can't keep giving you it all
Not if you're just gonna tease me
Now I don't know how it's supposed to be
But as long as you say that you're in love with me, darlin'
CHORUS:
Don't love anybody else but me
Don't be waiting for some fantasy
Don't love anybody else but me
I could ask
What it is that's burning you inside
But then what would protect me?
In the past
I never had this much riding on the line
No, I can't let you reject me
'Cause no one else kept you this satisfied
And I'm not gonna wait for you to read my mind, so darlin'
Don't love anyone else but me
Don't be waiting for some fantasy
I've been waiting for you patiently
Don't love anyone else but me
How could you do this to us?
Am I askin' too much?
At least that's what I'm hoping but then you
Don't know if we can undo the harm
You say there's no way of knowing
But if you're not asking me to set you free
And as long as you claim to be in love with me
Darlin',
You can talk
Or I can beat my head against the wall
'Cause that'd be just as easy
And I,
I can't keep giving you it all
Not if you're just gonna tease me
Now I don't know how it's supposed to be
But as long as you say that you're in love with me, darlin'
CHORUS:
Don't love anybody else but me
Don't be waiting for some fantasy
Don't love anybody else but me
I could ask
What it is that's burning you inside
But then what would protect me?
In the past
I never had this much riding on the line
No, I can't let you reject me
'Cause no one else kept you this satisfied
And I'm not gonna wait for you to read my mind, so darlin'
Don't love anyone else but me
Don't be waiting for some fantasy
I've been waiting for you patiently
Don't love anyone else but me
How could you do this to us?
Am I askin' too much?
At least that's what I'm hoping but then you
Don't know if we can undo the harm
You say there's no way of knowing
But if you're not asking me to set you free
And as long as you claim to be in love with me
Darlin',
Steppin' out on Broadway
In a place they call Manhattan
Witness life and death itself
And watch as it happens
Here is New York town baby
You don't trust no one
Or you may soon be face to face
With someone's loaded gun
CHORUS:
New York City streets
New York City streets
Standin' on a corner in this heavy New York City
Waits a lady dressed to kill she's tryin' to be pretty
Best believe she's hustlin' just to
Make her man a score
Keep him in the finest style that's
What a good girl's for
CHORUS
Harlem star in their big black cars
New York City sidewalks
On a young girl's knee
New York City
Gotta get away,
Gotta get away from New York
New York City
Tonight's the night everybody's at the show
The girls and boys come to
Hear the rocket blow
You can't stop when the Rocket's playin'
Everybody jump and shout
Let's rock and reel it anyway you feel it
That's what this is all about
CHORUS:
Rock and Roll Machine
Faster than you ever seen
Rock and Roll Machine
All those eyes just lookin' at you
Ooh baby you're crazy
If you try to steal the show
Get set, get ready time to watch the Rocket go
Rock and Roll Machine plays faster
East as ringin' a bell
A fireball steamer, heavy metal screamer
Playin' licks hotter than hell
I see the light shining in your eyes
I feel my temperature start to rise
Sweet lady I've got a surprise
You feel my lovin' down deep inside
Don't tease don't stand me up
I wanna drink from your lovin' cup
Ooh girl I'm singin' to you
You feel my message comin' on through
I'll bring it on home to you
I'm singin' my song for you
I'm singin' it for you
All alone when I came your way
You let me in won't you let me stay
It doesn't happen every day
Don't let it fade away
Got love and I got time
I got a way I'm gonna make you mine
Ooh girl I'm singin' to you
And from where I stand
I reach my hand
To catch a love blow
But the selfish stare
Though electric air
Is a blinding light show
I see the face
That has no place
But somehow knows
The truth is clear
But hiding here
In the blinding light show
The blinding light show
The place is strange
The colors change
The dancer slows
And shifts his pace
And lifts his face
Into the blinding light show
A naked heart is
Quickly torn apart
And the burning grows
When you try to think
It only makes you sink
Into the blinding light show
The blinding light show
The blinding light show
And while the crowd keeps
Calling out "Hoorah"
Their greedy hands
Keep clutching out
"Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah"
The aimless mob is calling out
"Hoorah"
And unseen candles
Burning out
"Hoorah, hoorah, hoorah"
The blinding light show
The blinding light show
And the sounds of truth
Ring hollow
In this pretense world of show
And the footlights
Burn their pathways
As the profits come and go
And the seeming some-day singer
Lives the Carney Barker's dream
Selling all by saying nothing in
The language of a scream
The language of a scream
And the blind shall
Lead the sighted
As we lose the candle glow
No one knows tomorrow
In the blinding light show
The blinding light show
I've known girls all around the world
I've met every kind
You say you're something special to me
But honey never mind
Everytime you say you mean it
I whisper something, oh yeah, I can't repeat it
Everytime I'm sorry to say
Baby don'tcha understand
CHORUS:
It takes time baby it takes time
To make time baby it takes time
It takes time to make time with me
You say that you wanna settle down
Yeah I guess we might
But we'll be on the road for 90 days
Yeah we leave tonight
All the time you been schemin'
To try to trick me, oh yeah, you must be dreamin'
Once again I'm sorry to say
Baby don'tcha understand
Spent the last year Rocky Mountain way
We couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
A time to open fire
And we don't need the lady
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, he's tellin' us this and he's tellin' us that
Changes it everyday
And says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Changin' it play by play
A time to change the batter
And we don't need the lady
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And we don't need the lady
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had
The boys were rock 'n' rollin' down in old San Antone
About two thousand miles far away from their home
A little brown eyed beauty was shakin' her thing
The band was hot ya know the modd was right
Gotta shek it up tonight
CHORUS:
Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker
Got to shake your money maker
Got to shake it Little Texas Shaker
Ya, there were pretty ladies standin' all in a row
Waitin' for the boys right after the show
But she was like diamond among other girls
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
Gotta shake it up tonight
CHORUS
Hey pretty baby forget all you fears
Rock to the music ringin' in my ears
Well I'm a see-saw lover and I think you know
If you don't want to make it then you got to go
Tonight we'll have a party yes I think we might
The band was hot ya know the mood was right
I can hear it
I can fee it
And I have no choice - I answer the call
I can see it
And I believe it
There is wisdom in the writing on the wall
Shout it from the rooftops
Sing it to the sky
Stand up for one and one for all
I feel the tide is turning as I
Watch the days go down
I can read the writing on the wall
All the faceless
And all the nameless
Up against the wall: they spell it out for you
Are you searchin', hopin', prayin'
Lookin' for an answer?
Can you meet the challenge risin' up at you?
The changing of the guard, means we
Welcome in the new: but
Every summer surely has a fall
The path of least resistance
Has led me right to you
(And) the writing is on the wall
CHORUS:
Writing on the wall: writing on the wall
Stand up and be counted: all for one and one for all
The writing is on the wall
I am up here
Walking on a tight rope
But I
Never pause to think
That I could fall
I've got one short dance
On this planet
But I'll carve my message deep into the wall
So shout it from the rooftops
Sing it to the sky
Stand up for all one and one for all
I feel the tide is turning as I
Watch the days go down
I've known a lot of women baby
I've even loved a few
Some were good and some were bad
No one was just like you
Now they say I'm too old to get hurt in love
That ain't true
'Cause girl when you left me
You broke my heart right in two
CHORUS:
I'm too old to get hurt baby
I'm too old to get hurt baby
I'm too old to get hurt baby
I'm too old to get hurt baby
Oh but I'm young enough, young enough to cry
Now my head is spinning baby,
Just like a ferris wheel
Don't know what the matter babe,
I think I see
A girl so sad and alone
Can she be crying, just like me?
CHORUS
No matter how hard I try I can't shake it baby
My mind keeps drifting away
You couldn't see a good thing
When you had it in your hand, girl
Maybe it was meant to be another day
Are you sure I'm the heartless one, woman,
After all we've been through?
I gave you the best of my love, sweet hoochie-koo
They say I was too old to get hurt in love,
Do you still think that's true?
'Cause girl, when you left me,
Child or tomorrow
Painful is today
Fathom if you can
Burning bridges, concrete and clay
Lighting candles
Searching in the night
For a voice of reason
In the age of wrong am I right?
Modern visions
Portray just society
Will it be righteous in time?
Too much, too much thinkin'
Yes I know
Too much thinkin'
Tryin' to understand
Try and steal away
Each and everyone
Contemplate the madness
Before the deed is done
See tomorrow coming
Shake the hand of fate
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Is it all too late
Prophets of doom
Fearful of the violence
Preaching to no one at all
Too much, too much thinkin'
Yes, I know
Too much thinkin'
Tryin' to understand
Child or tomorrow
Painful is today
Fathom if you can
Burning bridges, concrete and clay
See tomorrow coming
Shake the hand of fate
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Is it all too late
Modern visions
Portray just society
Will it be righteous in time?
Too much, too much thinkin'
Yes I know
Too much thinkin'
Tryin' to understand
Too much, too much thinkin'
Yes I know
Too much thinkin'
Tryin' to understand
I've walked beside you through a thousand dreams
Sometimes I wonder where the journey leads
We never seem to get to where we want to go, no
I won't betray the trust you have in me
I'll never lose my faith, in what can be
Don't ever be afraid to let your feelings show, no
Nothing to fear, no place to hide
We got to face the truth inside
Let the light that shines in your eyes, shine on me
Let it shine forever, let the light shine on me
We can build a dream together now
One in a million are the odds we face
One in a million, that's a chance I'll take
'Cause when the moment comes
I'll take my chance with you
And when it's more than you can bear
You call my name and I'll be there
Let the light that shines in your eyes, shine on me
Let it shine forever, let the light shine on me
We can build a dream together now
So hard to find your way out of the dark
Let the light shine from your heart
Let the light shine, forever
Shine forever
Let it shine forever
Let it shine
Let the light that shines in your eyes, shine on me
Let it shine forever, let the light shine on me
We can build a dream together now
Let the light that shines in your eyes, shine on me
Let it shine forever, let the light shine on me
Keeping the faith is a constant fight
We live and we breath it
And when you feel the cause is right
You gotta believe it
Which is stronger, your hope or your fear?
Meet the challenge of your life
Never say never
Don't let me down
Try to understand
Never say never
I will always be around
Never say never again
They say if you're not aware of history
You're doomed to repeat it
You gotta face up to your enemy
And try to defeat it
Somehow you can find the strength
Somewhere that's deep down inside
Never say never
Don't let me down
Try to understand
Never say never
I will always be around
Never say never
Never say never again
I still believe in the power of truth
That the fire of freedom can burn in the heart of a song
Dare to dream in all that you do
Forever can never be wrong
Never say never
Don't let me down
Try to understand
Never say never
I will always be around
Never say never, never say never
Never say never again
Never say never again
Never say never, never say never
Never say never
Never say never again
Never say never again
Never say never, never say never
Never say never again
Spotlights
Houselights ready to cue
Backstage smoke is risin'
Steamin' like a witch's brew
I want to play some rock 'n' roll
I want to sing the blues
Yes I know
I feel it comin'
Let the party roll
When the lights go down
We're ready to play the blues
When the lights go down
It's time to light, time to light, time to light the fuse
Oh no
They're screamin' like the 4th of July
Hollywood comes to your hometown
Hammers cocked and ready to fire
I've got itchy fingers
For the trigger tonight
And I'm tired of waitin'
So tired
CHORUS:
I just wanna rock you, wanna rock you
I just wanna rock you girl, down, down, down
Wanna rock you, wanna rock you
Wanna rock you down
Tired of talkin', don't mess me around
I wanna rock you girl, down, down, down
Time to move it baby, take it underground
I wanna rock you
CHORUS
C'mon girl make up you mind
Your body's talkin' and I'm on the line
No time to lose, let's roll the dice
Test your limits, find out if you're alive
CHORUS
Don't hesitate you'll only pay the price Live for the moment and don't think twice
C'mon baby I wanna make your mine
Send me a message or some kind of sign
Mmmm yeah, let's talk about it
It's party time at the house of blue light
Every Saturday night
You know I've seen a lot of ladies strut through this place
But when I first laid eyes on you I thought I'd...
You look so good... so hot
You say you're not afraid
Behind your walls of pride
They keep the world away
But some thing's trapped inside
I'll go any way
The wind blows
And you know
The storm comes and the river will run
You better hold on to the moment
'Cause it may never come again
Long time gone
Where do we go from here
Long time gone away
The voice of reason begs
The fighting takes its toll
You're bangin' big square pegs
Into little round holes
But I'll go
Anyplace your heart goes
And you know
The music plays and the heart obeys
You gotta keep this thing together
But you don't know the why or how
It's getting hard to find forever
In the state of here and now
Long time gone
Where do we go from here
Long time gone, gone
Time gone away
It's been a long, long time gone
Long time gone
Where do we go from here
I may be right or wrong
The story's in my song
It sure seems like we've
Come a long, long way
We've been through so many changes
All along the way
Maybe that's the reason we're here today
CHORUS:
Movin' on, movin' on
(Movin' on) Everyday
(Movin' on) Keep on movin'
Movin' on, tomorrow is another day
Our problems have disappeared
Vanished one by one
We've got to keep on movin'
Until we're done
The band is on the loose
Runnin' 'cross the land
So try to make the most of a one-night stand
CHORUS
On and on and on
You've got to keep on movin' on
On and on and on
We've movin' every day
You sit and wonder lonely in the night
But you can't seem to make up your mind
There ain't no way to leave all the worry behind
Callin' out for Lady Luck, she just lets you down
Try to take her as she comes, hang on, turn it around
On and on it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
On and on it goes
Round and round, and it won't slow down
Is this the right place, the right time?
Nobody gives guarantees
How can you tell the sound of opportunity?
Comin' down to the moment of truth
One word could make it right
I wonder if you feel it too
Hey, maybe we're gonna get lucky tonight
On and on it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
On and on it goes
Round and round, and it won't slow down
You're not the only one in the world
That can feel something's wrong
A broken heart, another lonely night
Still we go on and on and on
On and on it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
On and on it goes
Round and round, still we go
On and on it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
On and on it goes
Round and round, and it won't slow down
It won't slow down
On and on and on
I know how to treat a lady
Who knows how to treat her man
I've been in love one or two times
I made out the best that I can
I've been all around the world and back
And here's what I have to say
The ladies I love and livin' in the U.S.A
CHORUS:
I'm talking about American girls
They got what I need
American girls
That's what I want
American girls
There ain't no better boy and that's no lie
She takes you home to meet her daddy
He looks you right in the eye
He says, now tell me you intention, boy
And you make your reply
I'm a man of honor, my thoughts are pure
And you can bet your life
I won't even kiss her,
Unless I'm gonna make her my wife
Makin' my way to the job each day
Slave like a dog for my hard-earned pay
When the bell rings I'm ready to run
Gonna get high, gonna have some fun
I know the boss, he don't think I'm good
Baby I'm just badly misunderstood
'Cause you know what I like
CHORUS:
I live, I live, I live for the weekend
I live, I live, I live for the weekend
Ya know ya gotta serve
Ya know ya gotta please
My baby puts my mind at ease
Friday comes 'n' I'm thinkin' of you
'Cause at five o'clock, they're gonna set me loose
Come on, babe, we're gonna live it up
Don't ya know that
I can't get enought
Of your sweet love
CHORUS
I know, babe, you don't think I'm good
But, you got me badly understood
An' I know what I like
Wizards of a modern age cast spells of electric power
But the corporate strings that make them dance
Lead up to an ivory tower
There sit the fates in solitude, far from the public eye
No one ever sees them smile and nothing makes them cry
Welcome to the kingdom, the land of bought and sold
A world of real-life fantasy where truths are seldom told
Try hard to remember all that glitters is not gold
You can pay the piper, but you cannot buy his soul
CHORUS:
It's just a game, you're in it all the way
It's just a game, don't let yourself slip away
It's such a shame, I heard somebody say
It's just a game, and all I can do... is play
What you do choose, now, what do you believe, now
Who are you gonna trust?
All you dreams and fancy schemes
Just crumble into dust
Calm and cool and computerized to calculate and collect
We wait and watch and wonder
Just which puppet they'll select
Like the moth, too near the flame,
Who learned his truth too late
We're all too deep into the game
That is the master of our fate
The poets and the pipers have got their motives
And you've got yours, no doubt
And so the game continues
That's what it's all about...
The ghosts of Woodstock still haunt the next of kin
But the screams and shouts have turned to whispers on the wind
The time has come to face the music again
Back 'em up against the wall and bring the hammer down
Tell 'em that was then, my friend, but this is here and now
CHORUS:
Rock Out, Roll On
Rock out we've waited so long
Rock Out, Roll On we keep holding on
We've waited so long we've got to be strong
We'll just keep holdin' on...
Can't you hear the future knockin' down the door
Can't you hear the footsteps on the killing floor
Comes a time when you can't take anymore
When you've made up your mind, you step over the line
Then it's all just a question of time
CHORUS
A chance will surely come your way
To say the things you need to say
To play like no one else has played
And blow them away
Is it any wonder we somehow survive
The strength and the power comes from somewhere inside
You learn to turn your cheek and swallow your pride
Coming to the wire, fighting fire with fire
Driven on by this burnin' desire
Baby there won't be a next time
Ain't goin' back to school
Don't want no pity or mercy
'Cause you know that I'm nobody's fool
No, don't ever look back
When you're doin' alright
CHORUS:
Don't count me out, it's not over yet I'm ridin' high again
Don't count me out, 'cause you can bet
I'm ridin' high again, I'm ridin' high again
Now you say that you want love or money
But you can't make your mind up on that
So you cut me to shreds like a switchblade knife
And now you think I'm comin' back
No don't ever look back
When you're doin' alright
CHORUS
Said that you wanted a reprieve baby
But you know that I don't compromise
'Cause you sweet talked me
With your forked tongue girl
Now it's high time you realized
No don't ever look back
When you're doin' alright
CHORUS
It's a dark time
Darker than all days before
Darker that all years before
It's a cold age
Colder than all days before
Colder than all years before
Taste a tide
Where landscapes surround us with blight
The everflowing streams of our enemies blood run cold
A strong ride
Stronger than all days before
Stronger than all years before
The might and pride
Mightier than all days before
Mightier than all years before
Come taste a tide
Where demons play the mind
On the windrippled steps
The everflowing streams of our enemies blood run cold
Blow the horn for our tide to come
Triumph our battle be won
Battle all the lands
It's the triumph of the ages
Empires fall by hands
In the triumph of the ages
Black demonic hordes
Journey against the earth
Coming from the North
Speeding on a gathering wind
It's a dark time
Darker than all days before
Darker that all years before
It's a cold age
Colder than all days before
Colder than all years before
Come taste a tide
Where landscapes surround us with blight
The everflowing streams of our enemies blood run cold
It's a dark time
Darker than all days before
Darker than all years before
It's a cold age
Colder than all days before
Colder than all years before
Taste a tide
Where landscapes surround
Us with blight
On the windrippled steps
The everflowing streams of
Our enemies
Blood runs cold
A strong ride
Stronger than all days before
Stronger than all years before
The might and pride
Mightier than all days before
Mightier than all years before
Come taste a tide
Where demons play the mind
On the windrippled steps
The everflowing streams of
Our enemies blood runs cold
Blow the horn for our
Tide to come
Triumph our battle be won
Battle all the lands
It's the triumph of the ages
Empires fall by my hands
In the triumph of the ages
Black demonic hordes
Journey against the earth
Coming from the north
Speeding on a gathering wind
It's a dark time
Darker than all days before
Darker than all years before
It's a cold age
Colder than all days before
Colder than all years before
Come taste a tide
Where landscapes surround
Us with blight
On the windrippled steps
The everflowing streams of
Our enemies
When will you see me Without, the lies that hold the key?
This is yours This is yours
You're not a prison of your own making You control your thoughts They don't control you You are the master of your own work You're not a slave to your own ideals
When will you be free Maybe we could meet for tea?
Your not a prison of your own making You control your thoughts They don't control you You are the master of your own work You're not a slave to your own ideals
I am yours I am yours
That's how it goes Don't you know, don't you know?
Infected and rejected
The pressure gets to you
Disjointed and erected
Protection from the mutes
Wasted and exhausted
A new attitude
Restrained to the table
I.V.'s running through
[Chorus:]
This vision is alive
This will survive
Convulsion through the victim
The testing is new
Schizophrenic apprehension
The tension grips you
Agitation Isolation
The methods are crude
Execution Evolution
State power rules you
[Chorus]
Restitution Persecution
What else is new?
Termination of the nation
The triumph of love is in the victory
The triumph of fear is in defeat
The triumph of will is over mystery
The triumph of heart is in the beat
And I feel bad, I feel bad
I feel conquered
I feel sad
When I think of
All the ones
Who may not know
Just what I have
When I feel love
The soldier who marches for the victory
Will measure his triumph in defeat
The triumph of war is over history
The soldier keeps marching to the beat
And I feel bad, I feel bad
I feel conquered
I feel sad
When I think of
All the ones
Who may not know
Just what I have
When I feel love
Trust immeasurable
Trust inside the room
Love inside the core
Love all in this world
Trust immeasurable
Trust inside the room
That we're fighting for
Love inside the core
What we're fighting for
Bombs the theocracy
We rest the kings
Empires the crow the perch
Saints and sinners
Cupid the birth butter fly
Art of dying
Sick silent and wolves
Sever the loving
Wolves the fetish frame
The frost bite animals
Verses and wolves
Art the heaven shaped box
1- bullets
2- knives
3- gun
Cobwebs the wolves
Frostings the finite framed
Twisted and roots and breeders
If I saw the world today
Meandering down the apple way
If I looked and said to you
I'm blinded by the things you do
I could count the days go by
Lavender of silver skies
With your eyes I dream above
Tell me life is full of love
If I saw the world like you
I'd be free and I'd be true
Looking for my life today
The saddest times are all away
Find the apple of my eye
Tell me why, oh why, oh why
That I love you,
Oh, that I love you,
That I love you,
That I love you.
If I saw the sky above
Tired of dreams I'm embattled of
Finding time to sing and say
I'll do it again, again that way
And I'd say to you
Give me the truth again
Find me a love above
Be in my mind best friend
Oh yes, and then if I couldn't say to you
The things I'd like to, like to do
Then what's the reason for us now
The singing, dancing all around?
Yes, and if I told you everything
I'd buy you all those diamond things
Eyes a-sparkling, tried and true
If I could make love with you
And then if we played inside all day
Swings around the apple way
Time and time again I'd say
Come out with me, I'll play it all away
I could say to you,
Time is true and it means so true
Life, it goes, it goes around
and around and around and around and around
But I, I would say to you
That I'd be scared
Of losing you
And all alone and down I'd go
I'd chase you, oh I'd chase you so
Given me a chance today
To prove myself and sail away
And then I will be your lover fair
Taming knells and idylls there
Trying to tell who's striking through
Shining like a cypress hue
Soon, to sing a song today
And then we could just get away
Dreaming true, being there,
Come before
His presence
With an open heart
To receive him
When you come
Before His presence
Lay your burdens
Down at Jesus' feet
Come before
His presence
And you can forget
All your troubles
When you come
Before His presence
Let Him warm your
Heart and be at ease to
Worship Him in true holiness
Worship Him for his righteouness
Worship Him lift up His holy name
And come before His presence
Bringing Him your highest praise
Kneel before the altar
Sending all your prayers
In Jesus' name
Bow before the Father
He is waiting, ask
Him to forgive you
When you bow
Before the Father
He will wipe your tears
He'll give you joy
Worship Him in true holiness
Worship Him for his righteouness
Worship Him lift up His holy name
And come before His presence
Bringing Him your highest praise
We have crossed many a great ocean
To engage in battle with the enemy abroad
For far too long we have been threatened from the east
But we will not stop until we have won
Only the bravest, mightiest of men
With courage in their hearts and fire in their blood
Would lend their steal to protect thy throne
And spill their blood on enemy soil
The fighting was most fierce, clashing steel echoes through my mind
I gave them the edge of my sword and left their blood soaking in the sand
Thousands of warriors fighting for their cause, battled to protect, and honor thy name
I see the morning lightRight into my eyes
Then I cry
My senses come alive
I don't want to be
In the darkness anymore
I want to search and seek
To learn about You more
Oh Lord, You're my light
You are my guide
Through the darkness of life
You are my morning light
The rising sun shines
Giving us the light
That You provided
For us to see
When I wake up
I see the morning light
Shining through my window
Give me the light to see
I don't want to be
In the darkness anymore
I want to search and seek
To learn more about You
Oh Lord, You're my light
You' are my guide
Through the darkness of life
You are my morning light
The rising sun shines
Giving us the light
That You provided
For us to see
Oh Lord, I delight in You
With all of my heart
I will never leave You
I'll never depart from You
Oh Lord, You're my light
You' are my guide
Through the darkness of life
You are my morning light
The rising sun shines
Giving us the light
That You provided
For us to see
Calling, it's calling, I can't stay here
...Knowing there's no higher.
Going, I've gone for so many years...
...Going makes me tired.
And they said it was this, and they said it was that, and they said it was this and they said...
But it's...
Call for me Jesus, I'm waiting here
Knowing I'm a liar
Knowing I've known more than half my share...
Knowing bade this triumph!
...and they said it was this
...and they said it was that,
And they said it was this and they said...
But it's...
WHAT?!?!
Hooray for Dr. Young
Hooray for earth born and son.
Hooray the time has come...
We vanish once again.
One word - Collective
Mankind - CONNECTED
Never going to die, we're always gonna live foreve...ever...Every day, With my skies of grey, In my field of gree...
I've been all I've been only for the ego in me.
Hide from the apocalypse around.
Annihilate
The enemy
Gods of blood
Follow me
Black banner marble arch
A massive army up to march
Skulls to crush land to raid
Brothers attack victors invade
Soldiers of the nation
Answer Triumph's call
Without you we're nothing
With Triumph we're all
Might is right behead the snake
Evil beast a back to break
Gods of blood bless our war
We shall rule forever more
War awaits of soul and gun
Men march on towards the sun
Dawn of anger day of strife
Men march on go prove your life
Fight to conquer death without shame
Tribe of fire defend the flame
Hail the eagle lord of the sky
through dirty net curtains you look at me
why is it i can't see through to you?
the mesh it is in your favour
(under my steady gaze)
how will you move
(frozen mid-step)
when the angles are reversed?
(you cannot move)
triumph of the will
Arisen from the ashes
I walk the path of the resurrected
My destiny unfolds
My fate is marked
Animal senses keen and alert
What I do to myself, you'll never
Understand
Arisen from the ashes, I'm set out
On my own
In this sick dying world, you get what
You deserve
It all began in my dreams
Something you'll never know
Time is running out for me
My enemies surrounds
Burning all my bridges
My thumbs are in your eyes and they keep fucking pushing
There's a leach on my neck
The fangs sink into my hips
I burnt alive and the flames were the only warmth you ever showed me.
Well tonight I set your bed aflame
I live to watch you burn
Face your punishment cause there is no forgiveness
I will watch your tortured existence
I live to watch you burn
Your misery will take a blade to your skin
I'll be there to guide you through mutilation
Decapitation
From the ground I can touch the sky
Despite this fight I will never die
I hope you get FUCKED DEAD
This is hell, your severed body's left to dwell
Not a trick just a whore choking on a dick
Your desires led to me building fires
In your home, you shouldn't sleep alone
I fucking triumph
