Mama's Boy

could't keep a secret 
got a concrete skull 
couldn't shut up you're an imbecile 
you're an ugly dog there's 
nothing to gain 
you couldn't shut up got a 
bad bad brain 

couldn't hold your tongue you were just too young 
like a two year old you told you told 
you are all the same jelly bean brain 
every one's a secret nerd 
every one's a closet lame 

ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy 

don't want to work in a hot dog stand 
be a busboy messenger or a doorman 
it's an abstract world you're an 
abstract man 
abstract city don't give a damn

I'm Not Afraid Of Live

I am not afraid of life 
of the poor man's struggle 
of the killer's knife 
I am not afraid of life 
of an insane rage 
of the minimum wage 
I am not afraid of life 

I am not afraid of life 
I am not afraid of life 

But I see an old lady with a shopping bag 
and I wonder is life a drag 

I am not afraid of pain 
but it hurts so bad 
I feel so mad 
no one see the truth 
there's nothing to gain 
a life goes down the drain 
don't want to die at an early age 

I am not afraid of life 
I am not afraid of life 

But I see a street crazy shivering with cold 
is it a crime to be old 

there's the threat of the nuclear bomb 
we know it's wrong 
we know it's wrong 
is there a chance for peace 
will the fighting ever cease 
mankind's almost out of luck 
a maniac could blow us up 

I am not afraid of life 
I am not afraid of life 

but I get down on my knees and I pray 
is there hope for the world today

Too Tough To Die

I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy 
I tell no tales I do no lie 

I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy 
halo round my head to tough to die 

main attraction in a freak side show 
down in the basement where the cobwebs grow 
on my last leg just gettin' by 
halo round my head too tough to die 

rainy days rain cool wine 
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine 
hot sweat on my face 
I feel like going' out someplace 

up late at night my chocolate sweet 
down at the gym where the muscle boys meet 
I am a very nice guy very sincere 
in real good shape I have no fear 

at the concert when the band comes on 
I am in the ring where I belong 
on my last leg just gettin' by 
halo round my head too tough to die

Wart Hog

Wart, Wart Hog 
Wart, Wart Hog 
Wart, Wart Hog 
Wart, Wart Hog 

I take some dope, I feel so sick 
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick 
Doomsday visions of junkies and fags 
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it 

Death, death, death it's the price I pay 
It's a sick world, what can I say? 
No such thing as an even break 
It's stealing and cheating, take, take, take 

Wart, Wart Hog 
Wart, Wart Hog 
Wart, Wart Hog 
Wart, Wart Hog 

I wanna puke, I can't sit still 
Just took some dope and I feel ill 
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick 
It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it 

It's a joke, it's a lie, it's a rip-off, man 
It's an outlaw life, we're a renegade band 
Doomsday visions of commies and queers 
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it

Danger Zone

New York is a real cool town 
society really brings me down 
our playground is a pharmacy 
kids find trouble so easily 

other countries are just as bad 
the Soviets really make me mad 
on the boulevard where the police hide 
let's steal a car for a joyride 

they say you're just an awkward kid 
you flipped your lid you flipped your lid 
you love wine like they love cash 
feel your rage spread like a rash 

you flipped your lid you flipped your lid 
you flipped your lid you flipped your lid 
they say you're just an awkward kid 
you flipped your lid you flipped your lid 

all alone in the danger zone 
danger zone danger zone 
all alone in the danger zone 
danger zone danger zone

Chasing The Night

standing here in front of the mirror 
it's gonna be allright tonight 
feelin hot yeah I'm on fire 
I'm never ever goin to tire 

Tonight it's gonna be alright 
chasing the night 
it's gonna be alright 
chasing the night 
chasing, chasing the night 
it's gonna be alright 

live my life as I choose 
I paid the price, paid my dues 
you know I need no alibi 
daytime troubles fading 
nights intoxicating 
gonna have it all tonight 
that aint no lie 

Tonight it's gonna be alright 
chasing the night 
it's gonna be alright 
chasing the night 
chasing, chasing the night 
it's gonna be alright 

rock all night 
sleep all day 
it don't matter what they say 
aint never gonna change my ways 
and I wont be back till monday 

feelin exasperating 
excitement generating 
I'm never ever gonna tire 
city is overloading 
the circuits are exploding 
ain't comin' down, no, I'm too wired 

Tonight it's gonna be alright 
chasing the night 
it's gonna be alright 
chasing the night 
chasing, chasing the night 
it's gonna be alright

Howling At The Moon (Sha-La-La)

sha-la-la-la 
sha-la-la-la-la 
REPEAT 

ships are docking 
planes are landing 
a never ending supply 

no more narco 
no more gangster 
conservatives can cry 

I took the law & threw it away 
cause there's nothing wrong 
it's just for play 
theres no law, no law any more 
I want to steal from the rich & 
give to the poor 

sha-la-la-la 
sha-la-la-la-la 

it was glowing, glowing, glowing 
glowing in the dark 
it was sparkling, sparkling, sparkling 
sparkling in the night 
I took the law & threw it away 
cause there's nothing wrong 
it's just for play 

there's no law, no law any more 
I want to steal from the rich & 
give to the poor 

winter turns to summer 
sadness turns to fun 
keep the faith, baby 
you broke the rules & won 

sha-la-la-la 
sha-la-la-la-la 

keep it glowing, glowing, glowing 
I'm not hurting any one 
keep it glowing, smoking, glowing 
I'm howling at the moon 
I took the law & threw it away 
cause there's nothing wrong 
it's just for play 
there's no law, no law any more 
I want to steal from the rich & 
give to the poor 

oh baby 
oh baby 
oh baby 
oh baby 

I took the law & threw it away 
cause there's nothing wrong 
it's just for play 

I'm smoking, baby 
I'm smoking, oh baby 

there's no law, no law any more 
I want to steal from the rich & 
give to the poor

Daytime Dilemma (Dangers Of Love)

she came from a happy home 
a very happy home 
avery happy home 

Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally 

she had it all worked out 
but things aren't what they seem 
is this real or just a dream? 
and things will never ever be the same again 

she came from a happy home 
a very happy home 
a home of happiness 

Miss personality a grade 'A' student, naturally 
she had it allin place 
but things aren't what they seem 
is this real or just a dream? 
things will never ever be the same again 

the dangers, its the dangers of love 
the dangers, its the dangers 

she came from a happy home 
a vey happy home 
a very happy scene 

she caught him with another 
it turns out it was her mother 
what a tragedy 
can things be what they seem 
is this just some crazy dream? 
things may never ever be the same again 

the dangers, its dangers of love 
the dangers, its the dangers 

keep telling li-ie-ies, but you did 
you know you did 
its coming,.it's coming,.it's coming 

the dangers, its the dangers of love 
the dangers, its the dangers 

what went wrong she couldn't tell 
but we know it all too well 

the dangers, its the dangers of love 
the dangers, its the dangers

Planet Earth 1988

the solution to peace isn't clear 
the terrorist threat is a modern fear 
there are no jobs for the young 
they turn to crime turn to drugs 
battle ships crowd the sea 
16 year olds in the army 
our jails are filled to the max 
discrimination against the Blacks 

Russian and American war machine 
will destroy mankind's dream 
they shoot their missles in the air 
they do not care they do not care 
guerrilla armies rule the street 
no more Christmas or trick or treat 
is this what the future will bring 
I pray for peace more than anything 

the solution to peace isn't clear 
the terrorist threat is a modern fear 
there is no future for the youth 
there is no hope for the young 
death destruction bombs galore 
the rich are laughing at the poor 
our jails are filled to the max 
discrimination against the Blacks

Human Kind

(Verse I) 
Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear 
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best 
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies 
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see 

(chorus) 
People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi 
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more 
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac 
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE 

(Verse II) 
Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their name 
Humankind are so strange, some need to be rearranged 
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies 
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see 

BEG. The humankind (3 x) during intro part 

(MIDDLE) 
Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way 
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humans just got along 
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is what we need - (oh) 

1st chorus - 2 lines into "why oh why" humankind

Endless Vacation

I kill myself kill the pain 
a suicide death a suicide game 
my skull he's bleaching in the dust 
my rage turns to insane lust 

all depressed all alone 
I drift into the danger zone 
deadly spitten cobra life of crime 
I want revenge I want what's mine 

like takin' Carrie to the high school prom 
something always goin' wrong 
hair trigger temper tormented mind 
deadly spitten cobra I am the losin' kind 

the heart is the place devils congregate 
when you're raised on andiet of bickering at hate 
hair trigger temper tormented mind 
deadly spitten cobra I am the losin' kind 

endless vacation 
endless vacation 
endless vacation
