Dressed To Kill: Here we are in the west And our cars are glistenin' The bear he roars in the east But we ain't listenin' We won't play games in his backyard But we let him build his wall We say our god is on our side Hope he's listenin' to us all While we talk He's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills He's gettin' dressed to kill We got eyes in the stars But we don't care what they see We put a man on the moon We all see it on t.v. We all protest about his bombs He hopes we keep it going And while we rest he's marchin' on His fuse has started glowin' While we talk He's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills He's gettin' dressed to kill What have you got to hide at home His arms are stained but never empty The things that you think you own Are only for the few Don't you think it's time, don't you think it's time We got ready, we got ready We got right on our side So our leaders say today Count the size of the threat We can slide a different way Our planes are flyin' in your sky We know just what they're sayin' You see the writing on the wall Your nerves are tearin',frayin' While we talk He's gettin' dressed He's lookin' for his thrills He's gettin' dressed to kill He's gettin' dressed He's lookin' for his thrills He's gettin' dressed to kill |

Another Year: So your plane was late You missed that date And your horse can't win So you drink another bottle of gin And your shares went down They touched the ground And your best laid plans Have slipped right out of your hands So you think you're fat Well that's a fact But your well ran dry So you had to walk another mile Think about them, think about them Think about those who'll never see another year Think about them Think about those who never saw So your car won't start Needs a special part But you made your choice Now you're stuck with all your big boys toys Now the word's around You've gone aground And you've lost your wind You'll never see your ship come in Think about them, think about them Think about those who'll never see another year Think about them Think about those who'll never see another year Mother's, father's Sister's, brother's Old man, young man Whale song, all gone Where did we go wrong Think about those who'll never see another Those who'll never see another Those who'll never see Think about them, think about them |

Moonlight Eyes: Moonlight eyes I see you smile It lightens up my night Your smile takes all the fight out of me Moonlight eyes I hear you cryin' It robs me of my pride There's nothing I can hide from moonlight eyes I got no control You just roll me like the sea Oh moonlight eyes Mooonlight eyes you're grown now I'll soon be out of touch You'll lose that innocence That cost so much Moonlight eyes you'll find your pain You'll say that I'm all wrong There'll always be a place where you belong I got no control You just roll me like the sea Oh moonlight eyes Tell your sweet lies only to me, only to me Moonlight eyes you soothe me Moonlight eyes you're easy on my soul Moonlight eyes you are the reason The meaning in the words The words to every song I've ever heard Paralysed in sweet surprise Your every wrong is right One look into your night Oh moonlight eyes I got no control You just roll me like the sea Oh moonlight eyes Tell your sweet lies only to me, only to me Moonlight eyes |

Pop The Silo: The phone call was wrong The i.b.m.'s have already gone Talkin's too late The future has ended now Can't change our fate So sorry now But that don't change a thing anyhow Let the games begin The dealer laid hands out that no one can win What made us this way Something I'm doing or something I say But could it be a fact That I never thought I'd get caught in the act And I, I don't know why I still keep Hangin' around when I know that it's time Popped the silo Pushed the button It's the big one this time Doctor strangelove, we're all in your movie now You get no change love Your bill is too high The threat's on it's way The package from hell that you ordered today Pray to your sign Your wish has been granted this time And I, I don't know why I still keep Hangin' around when I know that it's time Popped the silo Pushed the button It's the big one this time |

Let Me Be Your Leader: Let me be your leader Let me have control The way I see it It's got to be right for you I could be your pilot Through the stormy seas The way you see it It's just a case of trust in me I could be your hero I'll be your piece of mind The way that I see it It's got to be good for you I wanna be your brother If you need a friend The way you see it It's got to be right by me Winners--losers Takers--users What do you see in your crystal ball for you? Do you see an old wound fade into the blue? I will be your lifeline If your ship goes down The way that I see it You've got to have faith in me I wanna be your partner Through the darkest nights The way you see it It's always just you and me Midnight screamers Daytime dreamers What do you see in your crystal ball for you? Do you see an old wound fade into the blue? |

We Are The People: Puppets in the dance are we Or do we call the tune We're keeping up our ratings While we feed you wreck and ruin Thespians of revolution, money in the bank With our college boy lisps Brown ale gurus Sunday supplement priests Lunch with urban guerillas On expense account receipts Opinionated interviews From an informed source can't tell you no names secret of course We are the people I am you, you are me We are the people, I am you, you are me Any fool can see all the people We are the people We're on the side of politicians Misquote their lies Building up those favors We collect on bye and bye On the side of winners We can change with the fees Give us your proposition We're only here to please We are the people I am you, you are me We are the people I am you, you are me Any fool can see all the people We are the people Oh, please defend me Don't ask for my surrender We are the kings, you're the pretenders You walk and I'll talk Stop ringing my doorbell with questions Subscribe--view us--listen to us We've got the plan We've got all the answers And we've got your man We can change the format If the sales go down And we got girls for everyone Yellow, pink or brown We are the people...... |

Every Young Man's Dream: She was my guiding light She was my day and night I hung on every word, no matter wrong or right She could raise me up to heights I've never seen And the coming of age is every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream She was the first for me She wet my thirst for me If I was feeling down She was a nurse for me She could take me up to heights I've never been And the coming of age is every young man's dream Oh, oh, she's every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream Oh, tu es toujours dans mon coeur I like to raise my glass I like to praise the past Some things go on forever Some things never last She could raise me up She was my fantasy And the coming of age is every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream Oh, oh she's every young man's dream Oh, eres siempre en mi mente She was my guiding light She was my day and night I hung on every word, no matter wrong or right She could raise me up to heights I've never seen And the coming of age is every young man's dream... |

Little Part Of You: I don't want to take you prisoner Or do it against your will I wouldn't ever take you over Only want a little part of you Only want a little part of you I would never leave you stranded Alone on some point of view Couldn't ever hold you under Only want a little part of you Only want a little part of you I know that the world All it's diamonds and it's pearls Could never buy you Could never even try to Wouldn't ever bring you sadness Leave you standing in the rain Never thought you would be easy Only want a little part of you Only want a little part of you I know that the world All it's diamonds and it's pearls Could never buy you Could never even try to |

Cocaine (live): If you want to go out You've got to take her out, cocaine And if you want to get down Down on the ground, cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie, cocaine Well if you've had bad news You want to kick your blues, cocaine And if your day is done But you just got to run on, cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie, cocaine Feeling is gone but you just Got to ride on, cocaine But don't forget this fact You just can't get it back, cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie, cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie, cocaine |

Victoria: Victoria, Victoria I could love you for a hundred years And still want more of ya! It's been a long time now since high school days But when I'm with you, darling you still amaze me No one could ever come before ya God knows how much I still adore ya My Victoria, Victoria, I could love you for a hundred years And still want more of ya! Hey little girl when we first met I was shaking so hard you really made me sweat You opened up my eyes and showed me You took me by surprise and floored me We walked to school together Just a boy and a girl We talked through all kinds of weather About giving our love a whirl Do you remember at the high school dance When the beach boys sang about good vibrations My Victoria, Victoria, I could love you for a hundred years And still want more of ya! We walked to school together Just a boy and a girl We talked through all kinds of weather About giving our love a whirl We were cruisin' the strip every Friday night Headin' for the beach in a two tone torc flight First time I turned and saw you God only knows I love you Never anyone before you Don't you know I still adore you My Victoria, Victoria ..... |
