"Juggernaut" The time has come Said a young man to his bride The train waits outside And though I leave You know I'll keep you by my side She holds on a final time Soldier's gone to war Told her he's comin' home Soldier's gone to war He's gonna be a hero in his hometown, lord She stands alone On a platform lookin' sad He waves through a pane of glass And though she hopes He will be comin' home at last Her heart knows what's gonna pass Soldier has gone to war Don't know it, but he ain't comin' home no more Soldier has gone to war He's gonna be known as a hero in his hometown, lord Soldier's gone to war Told her he's comin' home Soldier has gone to war He's gonna be known as a hero in his hometown, lord The paper falls to the floor from a trembling hand The words they burn to the soul And though she cries, she doesn't really understand The world's gone so cold Soldier went to war Told her he'd be comin' home Soldier went to war Gonna be a big hero in his hometown, lord And the stories tell of bravery, yeah He was golden as the sun Well he fought for you and he fought for me, yeah And he died for everyone Stories of a hero Stories of a hero Well it seems as though the world ain't changed It goes on and on for years When men must die to be called brave To earn respect among their peers Stories of a hero Stories of a hero
"From The Hip" Well Babylon, look out It won't be long now Your time is running out Well I see your power, fading out And I see your hour, coming around Well I see your children lashing out Well I see you're going down for the count Oh Babylon, weep For what you're gonna reap Your time has come to sleep Well I see the writing on the wall And I see you heading for a fall And I see the fruits of all your past Well I see that you're going down baby, at last Well Babylon, cry You're gonna wonder why You're finally going to die Well I see your power fading And I see your hour waiting Well I see the writing on the wall And I see it's time babe, time to fall
"From The Hip" I don't wanna know about your men I just wanna be with you again I don't wanna hear you've got to go I just wanna make love to you I been waiting Oh for so long For my baby Can't you see That now I'm ready Oh I'm ready I don't wanna see you leave tonight Well 'cause I wanna make you feel alright And I don't wanna know you'd ever say That you'd ever want to go away I been waiting Oh for so long For my baby Can't you see That now I'm ready Oh I'm ready Well I just need you little girl Cause you make me right Don't be long little girl Be with me tonight, I'm ready Said I'm ready Ooh I wanna love you Just a little longer through the night Baby! Again and again all through the night I been waiting Oh for so long For my baby Can't you see That now I'm ready I said I'm ready Well I just need you little girl Cause you make me right Don't be long little girl Be with me tonight, I'm ready Oh I'm ready I said I'm ready I said I'm ready
"From The Hip" Well listen to what I say man And dontcha be wastin' my time You bein' instructed to Stand aside She was yours before, but now she's Mine all mine You couldn'ta known that she was Waitin' to leave you behind You only seen what you want How could you be so blind She was yours before, but now she's Mine all mine She was yours before, but now she's Mine all mine Mine all mine Well you was mean to her And now you'll pay the price You was mean to her Now she's left you dry She's mine all mine She was yours before But now she's Mine all mine Well if I see you comin' round You better run, you better hide So step aside little man And let the big cat ride She was yours before But now she's Mine all mine She was yours before But now she's Mine all mine Mine all mine Mine all mine
"From The Hip" Stand! Well stand your ground, Give it everything you can, Stand! Well don't fall down, Turn around and make your stand. We've only just begun to understand, What precious moments we have had, And though the times appear to look so bad, We must move forward if we can. Stand! Well stand your ground, Give it everything you have, Stand! Well don't lay down, Don't go down, you've got to stand. Too many times we'll speak of all the bad, And wag our finger like we know, It's not enough to be right and not act, We're measured just by what we show. Stand! Make your stand, Give it everything you can, Stand! Don't fall back, Turn around and make your stand. The time has come my friend, We must be one my friend, If we're to make it till the end. The quake upon the land, Has cracked the hourglass, It's quickly spilling all its sand. Stand! I never want to hear that it's too late, That only makes one lay and die, A mountain can be moved by just one's faith, You'll see you only have to try. Stand! Make your stand, Give it everything you can, Stand! Don't fall back, Don't go down, you've got to stand. The time has come my friend, We must be strong my friend, If we're to make it till the end. Wake up your sleeping heads, See hope is never dead, Its light shall shine until the end. March forward one and all, Fear not that you may fall, You have to stand once and for all. And in your hour of need, When all's uncertainty, You must believe, you must believe. Stand! Make your stand, Give it everything you can, Stand! Don't fall back, Don't go down, you've got to stand.
"Maxoom" Well my friends and I shared many things and we rode together on Angels wings and I didn't really care what the future might bring when I would listen to him playin' and a singin' When I was feelin' down , he'd lift my spirits high and at the same time his magic music made me cry and then one day he just up and died and I felt all alone as I stood screamin' Well I said, Buddy! What has happened, Can you hear me friend? Buddy!, I didn't see this comin' 'round the bend Buddy!, Is this the way your story ends? Well you rest easy and I'll carry on singin' Well, And now I stand alone and I play my game Well he's gone away and he didn't even know my name But, I knew his, he was a man of fame Well rest easy Jimi and I'll carry on singin' Cause I said, Buddy! What has happened, Can you hear me friend? Buddy!, I didn't see this comin' 'round the bend Buddy!, Is this the way your story ends Well rest down easy and I'll carry on singin'
"Strange Universe" Goddamn! Are you puttin' me on man? Are you tryin' to make me wonder just who the hell I am? Well goddamn! Why is it that you don't understand Well I'm bloody sick and tired, of being treated like a garbage can! Well I know what you're tryin' to do, but let me say this, fuck, you ain't dealin' with a fool! Ah, you're so fuckin' cool Well maybe, I've been a little hard on ya see, but the burnin' in my soul is drivin' outta my tree Well I'm sorry, music, if I caused you any pain But I paid my dues, got nothin' to lose and nothin' to gain Well I did not mean to be rude, so let me conclude this, with a letter to you..... Dear Music, It seems like years since I felt your soothing hand, and I know I really shouldn't say all this, cause they tell me I'm only imagining you went away. But it's hard you see. I remember your silver seas, and satin mountains, and you know it really hurts, because, I feel so alone. And I don't think after the way I've treated you sometimes that you want me no more, but anyway music, I have to keep on trying because it's the way that I know I've gotta live. You gotta understand that being alone ain't to cool, and I always feel that loneliness, when you don't come to me... and so I get to feelin'... that I gotta... live alone... love alone... and cry alone... and sometimes... I feel I gotta die alone...
"Mahogany Rush IV" Well listen, someday You'll hear a rush of wings So distant, a sound of secret things There, look there, up in that rusty sky Yonder, sweeps the dragonfly So awesome, he blocks the setting sun He'll come to collect the souls of everyone Come dragon, come In from the sun He floats with an eerie grace A giant blue green sentinal From some distant time and space And because he'll come, he'll have no regrets Surely he'll come to lay this birth to rest I know one day you'll see him But please don't ask me why He will be a secret dragonfly Fly dragon fly, here from the sky So if you hear that sound I'm talkin' about When you know he's near When your times run out Well don't you fear There's nothing that you can say Cause he'll appear and take you to that special place He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you there He'll take you ........
He was proud, he was cool, he was nobody's fool
And to take away a life was his only rule
He was tough, he was mean, he was a killing machine
And to show a little mercy wasn't his kinda scene
Oh, couldn't he see he'd sold his soul
Oh, I wish that he'd a known
He once stood in the glare of a blazing sun
And the feelin' in his soul said the war was on
And like the angel of death he hovered
Over his enemies face
And struck a deadly blow and felt no disgrace
Oh, didn't he see where he was goin'
Oh, I wish he could'a known
But the day had come around when he'd fight no more
And he lay dead on the ground all battered and torn
Ah, well a slip, he fell down against his will
And seeing this the bull closed in for the kill
And so a man who had fame and a glorious name
He was laid to rest for failin' at his warrior game
And it's sad because he had his chance at life
And he ended up by dyin' from his victims knife
And no more will this man play a warrior game
Well he finally found out that warriors too get wet from rain
And he finally found that kings can end up down a drain
Well warrior man do ya feel you've gone insane
I said warrior man do ya feel, you've gone insane
Well tell me warrior man, do you feel
Warrior man do you feel
Said warrior man do ya feel you've gone insane, yeah
"The Power of Rock and Roll" I don't wanna look at the T.V. today,
Cause it brings me down,
And I don't wanna hear what the papers they say,
They go round and round
Well let me play my music, anyway I choose it,
I never wanna lose it,
And I'm not gonna fight, got no need to be right,
I'm okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
I don't wanna know if the countries will fight,
Tho' I'm sure they will,
And I don't wanna go see a volcano show,
It's not my thrill
Well let me play my music, anyway I choose it,
I never wanna lose it,
And I'm not gonna fight, got no need to be right,
I'm okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
Well let me play my music, anyway I choose it,
I never wanna lose it,
And I'm not gonna fight, got no need to be right,
I'm okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
Oh I don't wanna try to figure out why,
It drives me mad
Well troubles and trial ain't my idea of fun,
They ain't my fad
Well let me play my music,
Anyway I choose it, I never wanna lose it,
And I'm not gonna cry, No I'm not, long as I,
Feel okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
Well let me play my music, anyway I choose it,
I never wanna lose it,
And I'm not gonna fight, got no need to be right,
It's okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
Well let me play my music, anyway I choose it,
I never wanna lose it,
And I'm not gonna fight, got no need to be right,
It's okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
And I'm not gonna cry, No I'm not, long as I,
Feel okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
Yeah! I won't fight, got no need to be right,
It's okay when I'm playin' my rock and roll
"Juggernaut" So you think that you've gone back
To a state of certain madness
And you find it very hard to believe it so
But the moment will arise
When you sing with joy and gladness
And the trappings of the dawn
They will let you go
Free, from the situation, going on and on
Free, from the situation, going on and on
When the sun melts into night
And the darkness sets around me
I lay down on my bed, and fly
In the morning when I rise
Even more it will astound me
I'll open my eyes and dream
Free, from the situation, created by men
Free, from corrupted nations, let me say it again
Free, from the world's deception, going on and on
Free, to sing my song
"Enough!" he cried, "enough!"
Amidst the burning rubble and the debris of agony
And the chaos that erupted with the violence of madmen.
"Enough!" he cried, ...
Where the nations leaders stood amongst the
populace of the faithless,
And the smiles of fortune were cast in gold!
And the inheritance of their forefathers stood
as a monument of suicide!
"The smell!" he cried, "the smell!"
"I am witness to the damnation
And have seen the contributors of freedom's end!
When the decision of few, made in secret,
Have raped and ravaged those who would lay down
willingly!
Like a whore unto the universe!"
"Enough!" he cried,
"My people have laid waste the gift of life and
freedom, and have worshipped
an abomination,
And have left the spirit of the land with remorse
and desolation!"
Trying, Lord I'm trying, Lord I'm trying
Trying, trying, trying, trying ...
Trying to be free
Fighting to be free
Don't you know that freedom is the key
Until all nations arise
And be strong and just in my eyes
While a part of me dies for them
Until then I'll be set free
By the magic of my own mind
As I lay on my bed and dream
Free, from the situation, created by men
Free, from corrupted nations, let me say it again
Free, from the world's deception, going on and on
Free, to sing my songs
Well I'm a king bee baby
Buzzing around your hive
Well I'm a king bee, babe
Buzzing around your hive
Well we can make honey baby
Let me come inside
Well I'm a king bee baby
Want you to be my queen
I'm a king bee, babe
Want you to be my queen
We can make honey babe
Like the world's never seen
Said, buzz a while...
Ah Well I am baby
The back door man
Said I am babe
The back door man
Said the men don't know
But the little girls all understand
Well I said now
Been tried for murder, in the first degree
The judge's wife said, let the man go free
I am baby
The back door man
I said the men don't know
But the little girls all understand
I've been ridin' down the highway takin' my time
I've been ridin' down the highway takin' my time
I see two pretty baby, thumbin' me a ride
I've been riding down the highway
I'm gonna give 'em all a ride
I stop my car
I open my door
I look into those eyes, I look into those eyes
I look into those eyes, I look into those eyes
And I say...
I've been ridin' down the highway, taking my time
I see two pretty baby, thumbin' me a ride
One of those babe she looks at me, she says
you gotta tell me something man ...
She says whatta you got, whatta you got
I says, what've I got, I says what've I got
I got a big black car
I got a red guitar
I'm gonna take you very far babe,
I'm gonna take you very far babe
I'm gonna take you very far babe,
I'm gonna take you very far babe
She says, it ain't enough
I says, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta ...
I got forty seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a little bitty house on the roadside,
made out of rattle snake hide
With a little bitty chimney up on top
made out of human skull
I says, come on take a little walk with me child
Tell me, who do ya love
Who do ya love, who do ya love
Who do ya love, who do ya love
Who do ya love, who do ya love
Who do ya love, who do ya love
I’m standing inside a silver room A sound inside my head like a sonic boom A preacher with a dagger purple and black Is tearing sacred pictures On my naked back Hey preacher, and he smiles in return I think you wanna see me burn You’re squeezing out my blood Please tell me why But he proceeded to break down and cry Oh does anyone know the answer Tell me Lord, does anyone know the answer I’m floating beyond a cosmic dream A feeling in my throat makes me wanna scream A lover who has no love to spare Is ripping out the roots of my leather hair Hey lover, and she made a drunken face Well put yourself in my place Please tell me why you wanna see me hurt at all But she proceeded to break down and bawl Oh please does someone know the answer Oh does anybody know the answer Well I’m old I’m tired and cold I’m dripping like a rainy day I’m searching for a being who’s seen what I’ve seen And I know I’ll find him someday I know I’ll find him someday I know I’ll find him someday |
"Juggernaut" Alone at night in the shadows of my room I drift inside of a magical view Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night Strange dreams, they make me feel all right The place I've seen, well you have to understand It waits for me, come and meet me if you can Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night Strange dreams they make me feel all right Oh, seems like a million fantasies Oh, how can I sing the words to tell you all ... Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night Strange dreams, they make me feel all right The dreams of life they belong to you and me They show us why we can live in harmony Strange dreams, invade my sleep at night Strange dreams, they make me feel all right Strange dreams Strange dreams Strange dreams, strange dreams, strange dreams Strange dreams, strange dreams, strange dreams ...
"From The Hip" You been playing with my love baby And messing with my mind Trying to make me run to you All the time Giving me your love and then Taking it to him Well will you ever stop And mend your evil whims How long will this keep going on I want to know How long must this keep going on I've got to know how long In the middle of the night baby You're calling out his name You tell me it's alright to love us Both the same You'd better think twice baby And change your plan Cause I will never share you with Another man How long will this keep going on I want to know How long must this keep going on I've got to know Baby, well maybe you don't realize Baby, you make me want to close my eyes And shut you from my heart Baby, well maybe you don't realize Baby, you make me want to close my eyes Well tell me please How long will this keep going on I want to know How long must this keep going on Well I've got to know...
"From The Hip" Lo, midst the ash, sits the man, Stunned, sees the torn, battered land, How did it come, Lord? He cries, And what have they done to your prize? Well I don't want to know, Knowledge has its price, Lord I'm growing tired, I can't fight anymore. Stroking his brow, with her hand, Weeping, they now understand, How can we take up the task? And where do we begin, Lord? They ask. Well do we have the will? A whole world to rebuild, And won't our seed just kill? Like before... remember... We can make it in the end, We must make it, yeah! We can rise above it all, We can rise above! Rise up! We can rise above all! We can overcome all! Time marches on, for us all, She measures one, and measures all, And those whom she finds short of change, She leaves them behind, in her wake. The future's locked within, A box we must look in, And if we're to begin, Lord give us the key. How long shall we wait, Standing at the gate? What shall be our fate? Lord if we fail. The writing's on the wall, And mankind shall fall, Lest he hear the call, Of sanity. We can rise above all! We can overcome all! We can rise above all! We can overcome all!
"From The Hip" I been riding the road since I was a boy And playing a guitar And by now you should know that I do what I want And I mean what I say When I say I won't be tied down I wanna ride my own wave Oh you been into my face, you been onto my case You been sneakin' to tame me And as a matter of fact you been caught in the act And I'll never look back 'cause you know I won't be tied down I wanna ride my own wave Ride my own wave Oh you better look out 'cause what I'm about is I'm about to be sliding And if you want me to hang You'll let me do my thing And you know I ain't lying Cause I won't be tied down I wanna ride my own wave Ooh I wanna ride my own wave I wanna ride my own wave I wanna ride my own wave Ride my wave
"From The Hip" Come you one and come you all, See the writing on the wall, As the twilight brings the dark, So the changing of the guard, Gather round and sing your song, Your time is soon, it won't be long... be strong. Because, See how the wall came down See how it tumbled See how the wall came down See how it crumbled Hear the distant guns of war, We can make them sound no more, When the young want to survive, Wisdom sits upon their side, Sort illusion from the truth, Cause soon the mantle falls to you... it's true. Because, See how the wall came down See how it tumbled See how the wall came down See how it crumbled See how the wall came down See how it tumbled Madmen came and madmen went, Down to dust, their fury spent, Did they think that God was dead, In thier poor misguided heads? Heed the lessons that we learned, So when you rule, the world won't burn and burn. See how the wall came down See how it tumbled See how the wall came down See how it crumbled
"Strange Universe" Moonlight Lady - mysterious lady in your diamond studded gown that glittered star bright let me bathe once more in your silvery beauty let me hear again your cool laugh, so gay, so light Well your eyes had touched so gently on my foolish open heart and then your lips smiled with loving patience and golden fantasies tore my reality apart and did we make love, wonderful love or was I losin' my mind cause I woke up and you had slipped away to another world, another time, yeah, hey, heyyyy Moonlight Lady - my beautiful lady you were a flower bloomin' in the night but now the wind in the meadow, sobs like a widow and a moon ancient as sorrow is casting, casting a fading light, yeah I said a lonely moon as old as sorrow is casting a fading light
"Strange Universe" Ah, well you, you think I'm crazy, but that's not true ah, well it's just that I been, to a million hell to pay for my sin ah, well hey! what I'm sayin', is you better be right when you speak of my plight or I'll be comin' to take you back down with me to the Land of a 1000 Nights! Well if I'm just insane then treat me lightly and don't complain well if I seem uptight and it seems that my soul is black as night but if you're wrong, you better be strong, yeah, cause I'll be comin' after you to take you back down to the Land of a 1000 Nights Cold, so cold I can't pretend - the man in the outfield with the bonnet head - crystal clear auntie viola - wet blacknose saint bernard dog - and there is alpha - omega - clearly put water on his tarnished tongue - crying moons - can you dig the sheep goddess - she's feeling red feather's from a salvation army cup - and did you think I wasn't going to blacken his room - for surely A Thousand Nights couldn't help but be draining his soul away - say then, Sholyo Im Fi Zhamy - Sholyo Im Fi Zhay...
"Child of the Novelty" From a land where Dragons stood A young boy dared what no man could Born of fire, and ice and wood, he came here full of life Well he loved and laughed and floated past the echoes of a velvet mind, that whispered fairy tales untold that kissed his mind, carressed his soul Well times they changed and things rearranged and a young man stood alone But he decided to keep those echoes goin' and ascended the mighty throne He was a child of a novelty and he took 'em by surprise he made them feel that he was real he worked magic, magic..magic, before their eyes As time went on, they said he'd done what no man had done before But he claimed that he was a child of a novelty and nothin' more Well, he tried to cry out how he felt and they answered "It's a lie!" But by this time this novel child had squeezed his soul bone dry He was a child of a novelty and he took them by surprise he made them feel that he was real He worked magic, magic..magic ah, he worked magic, magic..magic ah, sweet magic, magic...magic before their eyes
"Strange Universe" Strange Universe May I kiss your breeze Your beautiful statement reaches beyond my lonely seas Gently morning shines it's rays of emotional decree as my Gods voice speaks to me of how it all must be Silver beauty, shine on endlessly mysterious knowledge, eternally your music on a wave of light inspires visions, of a silvery night where trumpets sound your vast expanse where I have walked in a dreamlike trance Brainchild of God, you peacefully lie and await the glory of the Kingdom of the Most High, Forever may you sleep... peacefully...
"Tales of the Unexpected" Stuck in New York City, Not a penny to my name I Blew it all down in Texas, On Women and Cocaine I've been riding an endless highway A highway long and cold The only shoulder for me to cry on Was the woman on the side of the road Woman she can be so cold Tearin up my soul She makes a man grow old But I love her just the same Had me a dark eyed lover, She had a dark eyed lovers name And I gave her all my loving, But she didnt love me the same The one bad thing about her She played a game from the start She couldnt give a damn and all around, she just kept breakin my heart Woman she can be so mean Sooooo Mean Tearin' all of my dreams But I love her just the same Well I guess I'll keep on wandrin All around 'till I see If the women I find are Women enough For the woman and the man in me And I know if I keep lookin Gonna get what I need As a matter of fact I'm checking one out And right now she is checkin on me Woman she can be so cold Tearing up my soul Makes a man grow old But I love her just the same.
"The Power of Rock and Roll" My body's on fire, I'm standin' in the lights
I'm playin' my guitar, I know it's gonna be alright
The crowd's really stompin', and the house is breakin' down
A mile down the road they know that something's goin down tonight
And when they come around and wanna know the story,
Just tell 'em that they're witnessing the power of rock and roll
The place is gettin' hotter and the music's gettin' louder,
The passion of the people's got security against the wall
And as I see 'em chant and jump you know I love 'em all so much,
I wanna give a backstage pass out to them all!
Well this kind of revolution's what I know is the solution
I want them all to know they're the power of rock and roll
Well this kind of revolution's what I know is the solution
I want them all to know they're the power of rock and roll
"The Power of Rock and Roll" I knew a man named Jack with a handful of suckers
With a heart full of talent
And a willingness to get up and go
Made a lotta jive talk to "em
He was really out to screw "em
But he couldn't when they all got popped
With a mountain of blow
Well it's been said, that in the end
The best laid plans go strange, go strange
Poor little Suzy was a credit to the movie
Was a taker and a faker,
When she made it in a wink of an eye
She found a rich old man
And she figured out a plan
How to take him to the cleaners
But she couldn't because he finally died
Well it's been said, that in the end
The best laid plans go strange, go strange
Well in the end, as I have said
The best laid plans, go strange, go strange
"Juggernaut" Lookin' outside, see a slitherin' coiled snake
Listenin' now to the wheels and the sound they make
I'm streaking through the midnight highway rain
And I'm leavin' a town and
I'm speedin' on to another one again
In the dead of night I slip from town to town
Not a soul in sight, only the midnight sounds
The miles and miles and miles of dotted lines
Will keep leadin' me down to a town,
and then I'll be leavin' once again
We're on a - Midnite highway,
winding through the midnight rain
Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
Speedin' along in a Silver Eagle bus
Well the road is long, it's the road we chose for us
We can't imagine life worth living staying home
We're a rock'n'roll band and we can't be stickin' around,
we gotta roam
We're on a - Midnite highway,
winding through the midnight rain
Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
Take me to another old lonely town,
oh mama, sweet mama
Wake me with a sweet and gentle sound
New York, Chicago, Kansas City to L.A.
We keep goin' around and around,
we're gonna be leaving once again
We're on a - Midnite highway,
winding through the midnight rain
Midnite highway, take me to my destiny
Evolution, revolution are the parents of one another
Moving ever moving crushing everything that gets in its way
Smiles telling lies about the future; I don't want to believe them
Pity on their faces baby; don't you think they laugh in your face
Wheels of justice; they have fallen off
Man's on crutches being kicked like dogs
Politicians makin' money; all the time they murder our freedom
Filling up their pockets while the people in the street lay and die
Man you're workin' hard as hell; you only end up payin' more taxes
Give 'em all your money baby; don't you think they give you a bomb
Lambs were slaughtered for the sacrifice
Man's now offered up by his own kind
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
Cry for your soul
Young and old
Help your own
They will need it, heed it
Don't be caught between the stones
Economic pressure and recession in a nation of madness
Living under fear of countries launching up a nuclear attack
Men are killing men with paper bullets;
you may wonder how that's done
Money is the bullet and the dirty greedy heart is the gun
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
Rise or fall
One and all
Sink or swim
We can win now; oh how we can do it if we try
Superpowers playing chess along a board with people as pieces
Taking human life just like they're only sacrificing a pawn
Don't you know the game is rigged;
the best that they will do is a stalemate
Who will be the judge of what is right when we are lying in graves
We'll inherit from all of our nations
Not peace
Only
Deadly radiation
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
It's a juggernaut
All around we hear the sound
the voices in our ears,
They try to bring our whole world down
playin' on our fears
Designing rules, deciding who,
they're gonna give the chance to
And all the while, the phony smile,
they just want to romance you
Well it's time we see
We're gonna be free
Well did you hear what they said?
They're tellin' us rock is dead!
We ain't dead yet!
The jury's out, the fix is in
the verdict's gonna burn
They worked it out to save their skin
they think that they won't squirm
We got to live, we got to move
go tell it to the masses
The burden is on us to prove
they're rippin' off our chances!
It's time that we fight now
The timing is right now
Well did you hear what they said?
They're tellin' us rock is dead
Well we ain't dead yet!
I said we ain't dead yet!
We won't go down without a sound, you bet now
Cause when it all dies down
they will have found
We ain't dead yet. no how!
We'll extricate our souls from them
The hounds of hell so foul
And shall return triumphant, then,
to hear their bloody howl
Armed with souls of righteousness
So razor sharp and narrow
We'll sink the blades into their flesh
Into their very marrow!
It's them who will see,
we're gonna be free
Well did you hear what they said?
They're tellin' us rock is dead!
Well, we ain't dead yet!
We won't go down without a sound, you bet now
Cause when it all dies down,
they will have found
We ain't dead yet, no how!
Ditch Queen
She's a danger scene
Maybe just seventeen
She moves like something unreal
She thrives on, on sex appeal
She thinks she's lady luck
She's a Ditch Queen
And she likes to follow me
Well look at those eyes
Like a pussycat
She'll eat you alive
She'd love that
Well watch out especially
If you play your or sing
Give her one inch
You know she'll take the whole thing in
Ditch Queen
She's a danger scene
She knows all of your wildest dreams
She's painted with maybelline
Decked out like you've never seen
You know she likes to rock
She's a Ditch Queen
And she loves my continental
For a sniff of cocaine
She'll do anything
And she knows when we're staying at a Holiday Inn
Well she knows she don't need to speak
To impress you
She knows it ain't her mind that's deep
She, she's so deep
She, she's so deep
Well you know she loves to pose
She's a Ditch Queen
And she sure has a don't you know
She's gonna show you the ditch
She's a Ditch Queen
She's a calculating business lady
She's got secrets and they just won't wait
That's the mystery
She'd like you to penetrate
She, she's so deep
She, she's so deep
Ditch Queen
She's a danger scene
Ditch Queen
Just seventeen
Ditch Queen
She's a danger scene
Ditch Queen
Full of maybelline
Oh, Ditch Queen
Oh, Ditch Queen
Alright, Ditch Queen
