All's Quiet On The Eastern Front

Watch the watch the way i walk 
Can't you think my movements talk 
2x 

See me silently quietly creep 
I am too amped to sleep 
lamp rays shining down 
street lamps make the bussing sound 
Subway creaking down below 
garbage piled up and ready to go 

Lock the windows the gates on 
taxi in the distance coming along 
Stalking the streets till the break of day 
New York beauty take my breath away 
Near some cats but dogs don't bark 
Cool cats strolling after dark 

Watch the watch the way i walk 
Can't you think my movements talk 
2x 

Shakey lock and kicky door 
Smokey air that I adore 
down in the alley is where I hunt 
all is quiet on the eastern front 

Stalking the street till the break of day 
New York beauty take my breath away 

Watch the watch the way I walk 
Can't you think my movements talk 
Watch the watch the way I walk 
Can't you think my movements talk 
Can't you think my movements talk 
Can't you think my movements talk

You Sound Like You're Sick

Well I can't understand 
anything about you 
help you if I can 
What can I do 

Here's your new home 
That's where you must be 
in the institution 
'Cause you're so lazy 

But if you must act up 
again & again 
'cause everybody knows 
You're a hopeless problem 

here's your new home 
that's where you must be 
in the institution 
'cause you're so lazy 

You sound like you're sick 
You look like your sick too 
You sound like you're sick 

but if you must act up 

(repeat) 

you sound like you're sick 

(repeat) 

well I can't understand 
anything about you 

(repeat verse) 

You sound like you're sick 
You look like you're sick too 
you sound like you're sick 
you sound like you're sick 
You look like you're sick too 
Well you sound like you're sick 
You sound like you're sick

It's Not My Place (In The 9 To 5 World)

My mom and dad are always fighting 
and it's getting very un-exciting 
to get a good job 
You need the proper schooling 
now who the hell 
do ya' think you're fooling 

but it's not my place oh-no 
no it's not my place no no 
no it's not my -not my-not my place 
in the 9 to 5 world 
and it's not my place 
in the 9 to 5 world 
and it's not my place 
with 9 to 5 girl 
it's not my place 
in the 9 to 5 world 

hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all 
and Phil Spector really has it all 
Uncle Floyd shows on the t.v. 
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc 

But it's not my place 
(repeat) 

Don't wanna be a working stiff 
lose my identity 
cause when it comes 
to working 9 to 5 
There ain't not place for me 
ain't my reality, to me 

Vin Scelsa's on the radio 
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo 
Roger Corman's on a talk show 
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know 

But it's not my place

and I don't care 
What the neighbors say

7-11

I met her at the 7-11 
now I'm in 7th heaven 
tell me, tell me 
can this be true 
I never though I'd ever 
meet a girl like you 

She was standing by the Space Invaders 
So i said can I see you later 
Yeah we went for a little spin 
down to the Holiday Inn 

We was young and in love 
We was young and in love 
and you're the only girl 
I'm ever thinking of 

We went down to the record swap 
the kids were dancing 
to the blitz krieg bop 
Bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop- shoo-wop 
Bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop shoo-wop 

What ever happend to the radio 
and where did all the fun songs go 
summer fun, with the Beach Boys on 
But we all know what went wrong 
Oh-wo-wo 

We was young and in love 
We was young and in love 
and you're the only girl 
I'm ever dreaming of 

and so we went down to the dance 
Which turned into a whole romance 
and after just one night 
I never knew that things could be so right 
Oh-no-no-no-no-no-no-no 

I kissed and hugged her 
and I said goodbye 
last thing I knew 
She wouldn't make it alive 
On-coming car went out of control 
It crushed my baby 
and it crushed my soul 
now all I've got is sorrow and pain 
standing out here in the rain 
the crash, shattering glass 
the sirens, and pain 
is driving me insane oh-yeah 

We was young and in love 
We was young and in love 
and you're the only girl 
I'm ever thinking of 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You Didn't Mean Anything To Me

Skies were cloudy everyday 
Nothing wanted to grow 
We had our last chance 
I think I told you so 
every dinner was crummy 
nothing was on T.V. 
I was ready to pack it up 
Our heads were so achey 

You didn't mean anything to me 
You didn't mean anything to me 

We got to get away 
Another lawn to mow 
We had our last chance 
I think I told you so 
every dinner was crummy 
even the ones for free 
I was ready to pack it up 
Forget the agony 

You didn't mean anything to me (2x)

Everybody was cranky 
even the maids were mean 
We ran into a miracle 
There was beer in the soda machine 
every dinner was crummy 
even the ones for free 
I was ready to pack it up 
forget the agony 

You didn't mean anything to me (4x)

Sitting In My Room

Sitting in my room 
Record player on 
Sitting in my room 
humming a sickening tune 
Sitting in my room 
Something to do soon 

We know what we think of them 
the problems just keep piling in 
They got complains about everything 

It's us against them 
It's us against them 
It's us against them 

They just wanna worry 
that's not what any kid 
should have to do 
They just wanna be so lame 
Maybe they should 
try and sniff some glue
