Back to The Trenches: Presidents and peace spreading poets Getting gunned down in the streets Shown to us on our prime time screens For our tea time treat Lunatics we voted for denying Everything that they swore We sit around and shout about it But we don’t do nothing more Drafted for police action But they decided on a war Telling us we were saving mankind Why don’t you ask cambodia We were solving it with marijuana We were sure that we could Always leavin’ it to someone else Just knocking on wood We’re goin’ back to the trenches We’re goin’ back to the trenches Well you say you got a say so But you’re knowin’ that it ain’t so And you turn away You think it’s safer to ignore it But the score is your children have to pay Everybody wants better Everybody talkin’ ’bout it Are we wastin’ time Gotta stop only lookin’, talkin’ We’re all guilty of the crime We’re goin’ back to the trenches We’re goin’ back to the trenches We gotta move, we got everything to lose We gotta move, we got everything to lose We’re all headed for the front But everybody’s fightin’ for a good address It’s time we made the changes Or we’ll be burnin’ with the rest We just ain’t communicatin’ and I don’t Mean conversations on the telephone When nero starts to fiddle this time There’s a lot more gonna burn than rome We’re goin’ back to the trenches We’re goin’ back to the trenches We’re goin’ back to the trenches We’re goin’ back to the trenches |

Games: Look at you You’re the son of the neighborhood strays You can walk in your prison for days But you’ll never get anywhere It’s a pain But the shine on the edge of your blade Couldn’t give all the waiting away You were recognized everywhere Turn away You are not just ashamed of yourself You’re a part of the scenery,damned to hell Can’t you see We are not going to play at your games We are not going to ask you for names Or for some of your history Did you know That your father said it’s all wrong Just to keep it going along It’s a part of our mystery It’s our job, you see You’ll agree There is no point in letting you go We can wait till the end of the show Till the audience fades away Turn around You can laugh at the mess in your room It’s a nightmare that never can end for you Can’t you see We are not going to play at your games We are not going to ask you for names Or for part of your history Did you know That your father said it’s all wrong Just to keep it going along It’s a part of our mystery It’s our job you see You’ll agree There is no point in letting you go We can wait till the end of the show Till the audience fades away Turn around You can laugh at the mess in your room It’s a nightmare that never can end for you Can’t you see We are not going to play at your games We are not going to ask you for names Or for part of your history Did you know That your father said it’s all wrong Just to keep it going along It’s a part of our mystery |

Lonely in The Night: I’m runnin’ tired of this deception I have no wish to play this game Too many times a bad connection And you’re still holding me away We’re living under false pretenses Foolin’ ourselves, believe the lies I could not take one more rejection You wanted more but would not try Something’s gone wrong with us Something ain’t right Why are we lonely in the night Why are we lonely in the night We’re trapped within our own defenses The walls we made all look the same There is no love without affection We’ve come to far to break the chain Something’s gone wrong with us Something ain’t right Why are we lonely in the night Why are we lonely in the night I’m growing tired of this deception We fall apart and wonder why? Our hearts now pull in new directions We don’t know how to say goodbye Something’s gone wrong with us Something ain’t right Why are we lonely in the night Why are we lonely in the night Something’s gone wrong with us Something ain’t right Why are we lonely in the night Why are we lonely in the night |

Mexico: One more promise soaked in rye whiskey One more word that bites the dust on some bar room floor I’m the man who travels ’round doing... Hey, we don’t talk about that I’ll get the favor done for you No one will ever know Then I’ll run to mexico Cold as stone my eyes fall on another Just another name that’s runnin’ through my mind At your request I’ll do whatever you require You give me the light, I supply the fire Then I’ll burn for mexico Pretty senorita, she lies to me Smiles sweetly in the morning when I wake up cold sweating ’cause some day I’ll be in the sights One more call when someone finds a target Only guarded whispers never mentions names Money on the line will be just fine... You’ll never be involved And even if a clue shows you’ll never know ’cause I’ll be in mexico |

Preservation: I’m preserving myself with make-up Lookin’ in the mirror I’m preserving my life, I can take it Shinin’ in the spotlight Preservation, lookin’ in the mirror Preservation, but they don’t know that I’m scrapin’ it all off Every night I’m reserving my rights, reputation Livin’ in a movie, it’s keepin’ me lookin’ right When the secret is out to the public Seein’ is believin’, they still wanna be me at night When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder But that’s alright Preservation, lookin’ in the mirror Preservation, but they don’t know that I’m scrapin’ it off Every night They’re linin’ up to make their entrance When the word’s out I’m in town, they’re not nice girls But that’s alright They’re lookin’ so much better when the lights go down But nice girls is just a frame of mind Preservation, lookin’ in the mirror Preservation, but they don’t know that I’m scrapin’ it off Every night |

Take The Rap: You were lookin’ at your mother So you went and told your father Daddy don’t say nothin’ he’s got plenty in his past Changed your way of thinkin’ So you started drinkin’ And you got arrested for drivin’ blind Take the rap, take the rap It’s gonna break your back, it’s a fact, take the rap It was lined up on the mirror And you just started shavin’ Didn’t know what you were smokin’ Cigarette came from a friend Judge said you’re delinquent You don’t want to think it So you put your head down, started servin’ time Take the rap, take the rap It’s gonna break your back, take the rap Tried to talkbut I got nothin’ to prove--why you want to? Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to? Why you want me to take the rap? Take the rap, take the rap It’s gonna break your back, take the rap Well your damned if iron bars’ll Keep you rottin’ in a prison Hell is lookin’ better ’cause you’ll Never get to heaven See your chance and take it Sure you’re gonna make it You’re prepared to take it ’cause you’re never gonna...
