GREATEST HITS

POWER TO THE MUSIC
Hey people we're victimized & circumsized
Crossed the line of no return
The critics say we devestate
Socialites just masturbate
Won't the losers ever learn?
Who said music's dead in the streets?
Don't know what they talk about
They gotta put a bullet in my head
If they want to keep me down
Power to the music in the streets
Mothers tell their sons of cyanide & suicide
They blame it on the devil's tongue
Suck me like a parasite, military 3rd reich
You book-burning bastards wasting blood
Who said music's dead in the streets?
Don't know what they talk about
I want my music waking up the dead
Don't tell me to turn it down
Power to the music in the streets
UNCLE JACK
Are you ready for suicide?
Let me run a razor across your throat
You took a child for a ride
Led them down a long and shameful road
It rips my heart out to see you livin'
You gave them money in exchange for pain
You're the monster in the closet
They'll take your secrets with them to their graves
Locked you away behind cast iron doors
Rather see you dead on the floor
I hope that you're feeling so much pain now
Uncle Jack
Can you hear them still screamin'?
Broken hearts, broken dreams
Uncle Jack
Is your evil still creepin'?
Never comin' back here again
What were you thinkin', are you human?
Took their innocence and made them slaves
You want forgiveness, you're so sorry
I'd rather put you in an unmarked grave
Locked you away behind cast iron doors
Rather see you dead on the floor
I hope that you're feeling so much pain now
Uncle Jack
Can't you see them still bleedin'?
Broken hearts, broken dreams
Uncle Jack
Tell me how are you sleepin'
Never comin' back here again
Uncle Jack
Can't you hear them still screamin'?
Broken hearts, broken dreams
Uncle Jack
Is your evil still creepin'?
Why? Tell me why
HOOLIGAN'S HOLIDAY
Drop dead beauties
Stompin' up a storm
Lines of Hell on our face
Bruised bad apples
Crawling through the night
Busted loose runaway
Always, always
Thrill without a motive
30 days just a haze
(Chorus)
Everybody wants a piece of the action
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
We're on a holiday, hooligan's holiday
I'm on a holiday, hooligan's
I gotta get away
Hooligan's holiday
We're on a holiday, hooligan's
Cross-eyed derelict comin'
An iron horse between our legs
Tattoos and black manes flowin'
Every day's a holidaze
(Chorus)
Modern times and new blood's pumpin'
Only the strong survive
(Chorus)
MISUNDERSTOOD
Little old man contemplates
Suicide twice a day
Life's passed him by
Little old woman scared and blind
Left alone in desperate times
Life's passed her by
(Chorus)
Oh, life it's misunderstood them
So they close their eyes
And dream of better days
Oh, life it's misunderstood, yeah
Life's not always fair or so they say
Little boy with vacant eyes
Daddy won't be home tonight
And he don't know why
His mother she sits alone
Tangled in the web she's sewn
She lives lie to lie
(Chorus)
Strangled, caged, left alone
Doin' time in a broken home
Feelin' left to die
I'm a product of your troubled ways
You made me what I am today
Now you're askin' why
Oh, life it's misunderstood me
So I close my eyes
And dream of better days
Oh, life it's misunderstood me
Life's not always fair or so they say
Restless soul deep inside
Searches for some piece of mind
Livin' just to die
I'm an angry man I always have
Had to fight to survive my past
Sign of these times
Life, it's misunderstood me
And I know, know you've been there too
Time lets a restless soul fade away
Life's not always fair
Life's not always fair
Or so they say
Yeah, life it's misunderstood me
So I close my eyes
And dream of a better day
Oh, life it's misunderstood me
Life's not always fair
Life's not always fair
Or so they say
Little boy with hopeful eyes
Daddy's comin' home tonight
So don't you cry
LOVESHINE
Oh baby
I've walked a million miles
Climbing up this mountain
Lookin' for your smile
Oh sugar
Where's my baby been?
My heart is like the ocean
Waitin' for your love to sail on in
Let my love shine
Oh baby
Remember yesterday
You spoke to me in riddles
And your mystery remains
Umm sugar
Be my oldest friend
You held me in my youth
And you'll hole me in the end
Again my friend
Let my love shine
Can't we find the time?
Honey, won't you let my love shine in
POISON APPLES
Took a Greyhound bus down Heart Attack and Vine
With a fistful of dreams and dimes
So far out I didn't know that I was in
Had a taste for a life of slime
When push came to shove
Music was the drug
And the band always got to play
Sex, smack, rock, roll, mainline, overdose
Man, we lived it night and day
We love our mott the hoople
It kept us all so enraged
And you loved us, and you loved us, and you loved us
We're so ******* beautiful
Pretty little poison apples
See the scars tattooed on our face
It's our disgrace
Pretty little poison apples
Mama said now don't ya walk this way
Just find some faith
Tabloid sleaze just maggots on their knees
Diggin' in the dirt for slag
Moonshine, strychnine, speedball, shootin' lines
Anything to push their rags
Still we love our mott the hoople
It keeps us so enraged
And you love us, then you hate us, then you love us
We're so ******* beautiful
Pretty little poison apples
See the scars tattooed on our face
It's your disgrace
Pretty little poison apples
Mama said now don't you walk this way
Just find some faith
Blueprints for disaster
Better not push me cause I'll bring you to your knees
Blueprints for disaster
Better not love me cause I'll bring you to your knees
Pretty little poison apples
HAMMERED
Act like Jesus crucified again
These four walls are closing in
Who and what do you think you are
A rich mother-****** in a fancy car?
Concrete jackal sucking on the past
Gold card junkie kissin' money's ass
(Chorus)
You're the monkey on my back
And it's time for you to go
Hammered!
You're more harm than my advice
And I don't wanna know
Hey, Mr. Big Time Hollywood
Tell your story walkin'
If you think you could
Your money's runnin' low
On your cocaine whores
Nothin' but a rat scratchin' at my door
Now I've said all I'm gonna say
Times will judge, see who fades away
(Chorus)
Now you're feelin' low, tired, and beaten
Razor blades and daggers pierce your soul
You're six feet in the hole
Get down on your knees in Hollywood
Time to kiss some ass
You're the monkey on my back
And it's time for you to go
Hammered!
'TIL DEATH DO US PART
When you look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
I don't think you even realize
The pride inside of me
I've walked my walk, talked my talk
Lived and died in my songs
Temptation cuts so deep
It's fires still burn so strong
You know I've lived a few mistakes
And I stand by them
It's me, myself, and I
'Til death do us part
If you want to criticize
Then you can't believe anything you read
What you see is all of me...
I've talked the talk and walked the walk
Who thought I'd live this long?
This life's been hard
Like a switchblade, blind fate, suicide
And I stand by them
It's me, myself, and I
'Til death do us part
Sometimes my words may cut too deep
And I step on a toe or two
Well I'm half dead and barely half alive
But I live by the truth
'Til death do us part
WELCOME TO THE NUMB
Mister, Mr. Push-Button Junkie
Lookin' for some dirt to buy
Landslide, it's a corporation landslide
Waitin' for a kiss
From an atom bomb
Situation's critical, my back's against the wall
But we like it
We're walkin' in our sleep and can't feel it at all
I said hey, man just gimme some truth
See what ya wanna see
Feel what ya wanna feel
I don't know what I wanna deal
I don't wanna be any part of your stupid mother-******' machine
Do what you wanna do
Kill if ya gotta kill
I just don't believe your point of view
Welcome to the numb, fools
People, did you ever feel like you're going insane?
Sister, I'm feelin' pretty safe dead in this home-made grave
The situation's critical, have I lost my mind... and I like it
There's too much information
Can you see it in my eyes?
I said hey man, all I want is the truth
See what ya wanna see
Feel what ya feel
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna be any part of your stupid mother-******' machine
Do what ya wanna do
Kill if ya wanna kill
'Cause I just don't believe your point of view
Welcome to the numb
Situation's critical, have we lost our minds... but we like it
So much information, can you see it in my eyes?
I said hey man, just gimme the truth
Why don't we
See what we wanna see
Feel what we wanna feel
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna be any part of your stupid mother-******' disease
Do what you wanna do
Kill what ya wanna kill
'Cause I just don't believe your point of view
Welcome to the numb (X3)
SMOKE THE SKY
Smoke my hoochie
You say that I'm the Devil
Reali-thc
Marco Polo hailed it Heaven
Socrates inhaled it too
Mr. President tell the truth
You're the great exaggerators
Since 1932
Telling evils of the reefer
But all thru time we've
Smoked the sky, smoke the sky
Home grown version
Compliments the senses
Opens up the mind
JFK sold us freedom
Or was it just a business toke
'63 went up in smoke
He was the great seducer
Crawling from our tv's
Breathed into our future
And before he died he
Smoked the sky, smoke the sky
When it's time we'll smoke the sky
BC hailed it heaven
I inhaled it too
Reali-thc
When it's time we'll
Smoke the sky
Smoke the sky
When it's time we'll smoke the sky
When it's time we'll smoke the
When it's time we'll toke the sky
When it's time we'll smoke the sky
DROPPIN' LIKE FLIES
A war zone in the streets
It's anarchy and siege
We hope it goes away
Graffiti on the walls in modern Babylon
Nothing left to save
Feel the rebel's heed
Revolution undermines belief
My eyes have seen this shit before
We're barely hangin' by the skin of our teeth
We've all raped it
The future's wasted
We can't save it now
We're droppin' like flies
Bye, bye, your droppin' like flies
Hate is growing fast
In a haze cloud of crack
But it helps us fade away
Some inner city queen french kisses his disease
With one foot in the grave
And the junkyard we call home
Is primed and ready for another war
My, my, my, the children have no chance
These eyes have seen this all go down before
We've all raped it
The future's wasted
Can we take it?
Is nothing sacred?
We can't save it now
Woke up late in a fresh dug grave
With a conscience on my brain
I'm not here to save your world
But mine won't stay the same
We're droppin' like flies
Bye, bye, your droppin' like flies
DRIFTAWAY
Look inside the mirror
But I don't know who I see
Smoke another cigarette
A smile holds back the tears
These contradictions
Seem to be the story of my life
A simple man with memories
Of those long lost golden days
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway
Mistakes I've made remind me
Of the roads I shouldn't choose
Never comes that easy
When you've nothing left to lose
I can't see the answers
Tell me why am I so blind?
A tired man who'll make the best
Of another lonely day
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway
Never thought I'd make it
Just from playin' my guitar
Just a little smile
Always shelters me from pain
Everytime I start to slide
I wish upon a star
The sun comes out
And dries up all the rain
I'm an honest man
Who refused the shade
On a hot and lonely day
I close my eyes and dream my life away
Now I know that I can stop the rain
Close my eyes and slowly driftaway
HYPNOTIZED
BABYKILLS
LIVIN' IN THE NO
My girlfriend says I can't do this
My wife says don't do that
Another case of PMS,
Gonna have me a heart attack
I need a small vacation man
Life's a mini-wreck
Told my lawyers and accountants, done took
All I can take
Livin' in the no
One more ****** breathin' down my back
Think I will explode
Livin' in the no
Everyday, everywhere I go
Livin in the no
TV says 10 dead for Christmas
Stalker is on the loose
Another freeway shooting
I'll be hangin' by my noose
I can't seem to shake it
I can't seem to bend the spell
Special thanks to Mom and Dad
For bringing me to Hell
Livin' in the no
One more sucker breathin' down my back
Think I will explode
Livin' in the no
How'd you like to live your life livin' in the no
You heard what The Magic caught?
One too many penthouse pets
Get some protection baby
Lord knows you might be next
Livin' in the no
One more mother breathin' down my back
Think I will explode
Livin' in the no
How'd you like to live your life livin' in the no
Livin' in the no
One more ****** breathin' down my back
Think I will explode
Livin' in the no
Everyday, everywhere I go
Livin' in the no
