Time's tickin' money's slippin' away 
Can't keep a hold of it any way 
Sick and tired of being pushed around 
You don't know me, like you think you do 

No you can't show me 
Goin' down to the river, when the well runs dry Drownin' in my sorrows, 'cause I'm living a lie
Searchin' for a savior before I die 

See the dirty water as it turns to wine 
Love's quicker throw the liquor away 
No rhyme and reason so get out of my way 
Lost and found don't be messin' around 

Can't hear the river run without a sound 
You don't know me, like I think you do 
Honey, you can't show me 
Down to the river, when the well runs dry 

Drownin' in my sorrows, 'cause I'm living a lie Searchin' for a savior before I die 
See the dirty water as it turns to wine 
I used to think that I could jump and touch the sky, 
But now I know my time has come, it's do or die.

BALL AND CHAIN 

She’s a lonely girl, holding secrets deep inside 
It’s a crazy world, when your heart 
and mind collide A prisoners’ action, she’s trying to run away Doesn’t know what she’ll find, but she’s got to get away 

I hear you cry out in the heat of the night 
I didn’t know I was your ball and chain 
Cry out just see the light 
I didn’t know I was the one to blame 

There was a time we shared, 
we had all the words to say 
But somewhere along this road, 
we went our separate ways 

I hear you cry out in the heat of the night 
I didn’t know I was your ball and chain 
Cry out just to see the light 
I didn’t know I was the one to blame 

Cry out in the heat of the night 
I didn’t know I was your ball and chain 
You turn and you walk away 
Leaving me standing here 
With nothing, no words to say 
Your silence is clear

WAKE UP SALLY 

Wake up Sally have you heard the news, 
I’ve got a brand new band, 
I’m gonna kick the blues, now baby, 
just hold on to my hand 

Get up now, I’ve got some work to do, 
I see my guiding light, 
It’s gonna see me through, now baby, 
I’m sticking to my guns 

Now don’t you tell me what to say, 
don’t you tell me what to do, 
‘Till you’re looking through my eyes 
and you walk inside my shoes 
What it is, what it ain’t, tell me who are you to say, 

I just look beyond your world 
and I see a brighter day 
You say I’m living inside a dream 
I’m just a stranger to the scene 

You think I’m just a punk on the streets 
But I’m the future’s way 
Now I’ve been up and baby I’ve been down, 
I’ve been looking all around,

But momma, I ain’t now painted clown 
I’ve got my way, and I know you’ve got yours, don’t try to keep pushing me 
Through your doors, ‘cause momma, 
I’ve got a mind of my own

Now I’m living this life, changing the world 
and making it mine 
This rebellious child is walking the edge 
‘cause life ain’t no crime

POWER OF LOVE 

Well I believe in the power of love, 
It give me strength to carry on 
It’s the only hope that keeps me alive, 
When I feel I can’t go on 

Out in the streets I’ve seen a thousand empty eyes 
Never surrender, no, take the power of love 
When you’re down so low, the only way is up, 
Just try reaching for the sky 

When you’ve got nothing else, nothing left to lose, 
That’s when you open your eyes 
Out in the streets I’ve seen a thousand broken dreams, 

Nothing is ever like it seems 
Never surrender, never give up on your love 
Never surrender, ‘cause the only way is up 
Never surrender, take the power of love 
and never surrender

UNDER THE GUN 

Every night I have the same ol’ dream, 
An angel standing in the sun over me 
I see you walking on a sea of glass, Holding up your love at last 

In falling rain, you’re so far away 
In the silent night 
you can hear me screaming out your name 
When you’re under the gun, it’s a cold sensation 
When you’re under the gun, it’s a blue damnation 

Everyday I feel the same way, 
Save your pictures then throw ‘em away 
Just a taste of your bittersweet, Keeps me full of your love for weeks 

In the falling rain, you’re so far away 
In the silent night 
you can hear me screaming out your name 
When you’re under the gun, it’s a cold sensation 

When you’re under the gun, it’s a blue damnation

I’ve got the fever, just a crazy child, 
I’ve got my cashbox baby, 
Gonna meet my friends down at the strip, 
gonna get me some lip 

Jump in my limo, gonna make the scene, 
gonna cruise the boulevard 
With the latest beauty queen, one lean machine 

We’re up all night to cruise the streets 
For every mile there’s a party to see This crazy life never sleeps 
And the wheels go round and round 

It’s an endless night in this tinsel town 
All the streets alive with the party sound 
See the pretty girls all cruisin’ around 

Under the neon lights 
We’ve got the action, no standing still, 
let’s take this madness 
To the mansion on the hill, can’t get my fill 

One hot Jacuzzi, big swimming pool, under the moonlight 
No way to keep the rules, it’s just to cool

CITY’S ON FIRE 

Long John Silver’s got his head in the clouds 
Sleeping on the concrete and he’s thinking out loud 
When’s the man gonna bring the candy cane 
Selling dreams in the city lights 

A stranger’s kiss is the dead man’s bite 
It’s a shame when their falling threw the cracks 
When the sun goes down, 
that’s when the night rages on When the thrill is gone, 
that’s when you’ve got to hang on 

The city’s on fire, 
Taking life upon demand, 
passing through the dirty hands 
The city’s on fire, 

And it’s time to take it back from the man across the tracks 
A street smart talker with a gun in his hand, 
A big John Wayne out to fight for the land 
Life’s a dare when you’re running with the pack 
Another day and another crime, 

One more deal and now you’re doing time, 
Never learn when you fight the American way 
When the sun goes down, 
that’s when the night rages on 
When the thrill is gone, 
that’s when you’ve got to hang on 

The city’s on fire, 
Taking life upon demand, 
passing through the dirty hands 
The city’s on fire, 
And it’s time to take it back from the man across the tracks 
The city’s on fire, 
You know you’ve lost control 
when you’re selling off your soul 

The city’s on fire, 
Stepping closer to the grave, 
you can’t afford to look away

GRIN AND BEAR IT 

Forty days and forty nights 
In the hot desert sand 
I’ve paid my dues all my life 
And now it’s out of my hands 

Take a look inside, nothing ever comes easy 
When it’s cold outside, keep your passion alive 
You’ve got to grin and bear it 
Don’t let it get you down 

You’ve got to grin and bear it 
You know you’ve got to stand you’re ground 
In the storms of fire and ice 
Keep your eye on the prize 

You’ve got to fight the good fight And it always takes time 
Take a look inside, nothing ever comes easy 
Keep the dream alive, 

you don’t know what you’ll find You’ve got to grin and bear it 
Let nothing move your soul 
You’ve got to grin and bear it 
Don’t wanna lose control 

GGGG-Grin! 

Don’t let it get you down 
You’ve got to grin and bear it 
You know you’ve got to stand your ground 
You’ve got to believe in what you do 

and who you are, Nothing comes easy 
when you’re chasing down the star 

solo 

you’ve got to fight for who you are, Grin and bear it

DANCE 

When the sun comes up and the moon goes down, 
That’s when I feel the beat 
When the music’s loud and I hear the crowd, 
It knocks me off my feet 

Now that summertime’s here 
and the school day’s gone Everybody’s getting crazy 
Got myself on the run, gonna have me some fun 

Everybody grab their baby 
I’m running hot, I just can’t stop and I feel insane 
I’m burning up, gonna strut my stuff, 
everybody hit the stage, c’mon! 

Dance, in the streets of L.A., 
we’re on permanent vacation Dance, in the streets all day, 
c’mon, join the celebration 

Dance, in the heat of the rays, 
take a permanent vacation 
Dance, in the streets all day, 

c’mon, join the celebration 
Got no summertime blues and you just can’t lose, 
The sun is screamin’ hot 
So get out of the house we’re gonna kick and shout, 

Let’s take it to the top 
‘Cause when you’re feeling free 
and you know what I mean, 
Don’t wanna take it easy 
‘Cause the day’s so bright and I feel alive, 
just let me hear you screamin’
