SERIOUS TROUBLE
Rumors and whispers that call
I could read the writing
I could see my name on the wall
Let time stand still
I need a minute to think
'Cause I ain't thinkin' at all
I'm driving down your road
The path of self-destruction
Totally out of control
(Chorus)
I'm in trouble
Serious trouble
I'm in trouble
Serious trouble
Visions and nightmares abound
I can feel it coming
Danger closing in all around
Let time stand still
I need to find a way out
That is, if one can be found
I'm driving down the road
Blaze a path of self-destruction
Totally out of control
(Repeat Chorus)
And I'm in trouble
Serious trouble
I'm in trouble
Serious trouble
People, they gossip and lie
Damn you if you do it
Damn you if you don't even try
Let time stand still
That's just the way that it is
There ain't no need to ask why
I'm driving down the road
Burn a path of self-destruction
Screwed up and out of control
(Repeat Chorus)
And I'm in trouble
Serious trouble
I'm in trouble
Serious trouble

TURN OF THE SCREW
It's a great task to master
The children of bastards
Reward them or scorn them
It's now you must warn them
Don't you run
I turn and face you
At the turn of the screw
Voices surround you
There no one to turn to
You're facing the evil
But no one's believing you
Got to run! I turn and face you
At the turn of the screw
Turn of the screw
Turn of the screw
Don't tell me it's helpless
This blood oath to Jesus
The pain and the suffering
The truth is now numbing
I've got to run
I'm crazy, it's true
At the turn of the screw
Turn of the screw
Turn of the screw
Turn of the screw
Turn of the screw

Judgement Day
03:51
|

JUDGEMENT DAY
Time stops
I'm looking out my room
I see the white flash
And feel the hands of doom
They've come to take me
They'll take you all as well
Come feel the white heat
And take your place in hell
Judgement day
Get on your knees and pray
Judgement day
There's no time left
No time for lengthy prayers
No time for loved ones
To say how much they care
Just take a good look
Look at the price you paid
It's such a steep cost
Now, slip into the grave
Judgement day
There's nothing left to say
Judgement day
Chains on your body
A price on your head
You wish that you were
But you're already dead
Judgement day
Time to pay the very heavy toll
Judgement day
The devil laid the bounty on your soul
Cold sweat
Won't cool Gehenna's flame
You smell the burnt flesh
You can't escape
the chains on your body
The price on your head
You wish that you were
But you're already dead
Judgement day,
Time to pay the very heavy toll
Judgement day
The devil laid the bounty on your soul
Judgement day
The long decay, the old, eternal blaze
Judgement day
Now tick away
the countless neverending days

Devil is Loose
04:17
|

DEVIL IS LOOSE
She's no angel
She's no stranger to the noise
She loves the noise
She likes to raise hell
When she's out rockin' with the boys
She wants you, deep inside
She's gonna eat you alive
Lock up your heart
Bolt it down tight
The devil is loose tonight
She gets too close
run for your life
The devil is loose to tonight
She's got the power
Like a dancer on the stage
Midnight hour
She's got you crazy, in a rage
On a rampage
She locks on and won't let go
You're good as dead, you know
(Repeat Chorus)
Lock up your heart
Bolt it down tight
The devil is loose tonight
She gets too close
Run for your life
The devil is loose tonight
She don't want nothin’
that a smile can buy
She won't be happy as your friend
She'll talk of paradise and tell you lies
And when she offers you her flesh
It's the beginning of the end
Those who know her
They're going to tell you stay away
Sinking lower
You'll want to meet her anyway
And when you do, you'll regret the day
(Repeat Chorus)
Lock up your heart
Bolt it down tight
The devil is loose tonight
She gets too close
Run for your life
The devil is loose tonight
Lock up your heart
Bolt it down tightly
The devil is loose tonight
She gets too close
Run for your life
The devil is loose tonight

Out for Blood
03:26

OUT FOR BLOOD
I heard noise in the streets
They were gnashing their teeth
They were swearing and cursing
And smacking their fists off the ground
They were mad as could be
'Cause the man on TV
Said the taxes were going up
And the wages down
And they've had enough
And they're out for blood
When times get tough
They're out for blood
They were snapping the bones
In the pockets and zones
From the minute the whistle blew
To the closing gun
They don't need any reason
It's the end of the season
And the second best
Must now face number one
And they've had enough
And they're out for blood
It's getting rough
And they're out for blood
Were the children you raised
And you taught us to pray
And you washed us
And dressed us
And fed us and kept us warm
Now the starving oppressed
Look to us in the west
But we just turn our heads
And pretend they were never born
But they do exist
And they're out for blood
They're pretty pissed
And they're out for blood
Muzzles flashing
chaos crashing
Suicide attacks
they're out for blood
Bridges burning
world keeps turning
Better watch your back
They're out for blood

Why Now
05:54

WHY NOW
Did I lose you
Or did I let you go?
That's the question
But I just don't know
All the answers
For what I feel inside
It's a mystery
No matter how I try
I've been thinking about you
And the things that you said
And how you swear that you'll be true
If I just take you back
And give you one more try
You will spend your life devoted
To my dream come true
Why now do you try
To give me what I need
after all this time
And how can you deny
If I take you back
you'll hurt me again
So I've made up my mind
This time I leave you behind
I remember
How I held you near
All the passion
That I felt I in here
Well, they were good times
They were the best I had
But the good times
Could not undo the bad
There were nights that you left me
To go out on your own
And you said you won't be long
But as the hours went by
I had to wonder why
You were coming home with strangers
At the break of dawn
(Repeat Chorus)
Why now do you try
To give me what I need
After all this time
And how can you deny
If I take you back
You'll hurt me again
So I made up my mind
This time I leave you behind
I swear the hardest part
Has been getting through the loneliness
Since I'm out on my own
It doesn't make no sense
To be missing you the way I do
When I know you're wrong
What the hell is going on?
Why now?
Tearing out my heart.
Why now?
Walk out the door
Why now?
Rip it all apart
Why now?
Spill it on the floor
Why now?
Why now?
Why now?

Misguided Youth

MISGUIDED YOUTH
Misguided youth
Stand or fall
We'll rock them all
Got my neck in a tight nose
Such a struggle to cut it loose
Better change my life before I fall
My obligations entangle me
The complications could strangle me
And it's hard to hear
the voices when they call
But I don't want to hear your laughter
I don't want to see you anymore
You hold me down
Don't hold me down
I see my future in flashes
My life will crumble to ashes
Gonna fade itself away
like a passing storm
And I don't want to hear your laughter
I don't wanna see you anymore
Misguided youth.
The time has come
to know the truth
Misguided youth
And we are all misguided youth
In my search for the real truth
I'm labeled as a misguided youth
Whose delusion is a product of the times
They never did seem to understand
That I was never the common man
And they forget
this only chance at life is mine
And i don't want to hear your laughter
I don't want to see you anymore
Misguided youth
The time has come
to know the truth
Misguided youth
And we are all misguided youth
Don't want to hear your laughter
Don't want to see you anymore
I saw my father work his life away
Always searching for that pot of gold
I felt the emptiness and shared the pain
And now you point me
down that same damn road
Misguided youth ...
The time has come to know the truth
Misguided youth
That we are not misguided youth
Misguided youth
The time has come
to learn the truth
The time has come
so turn me loose
The time has come
for misguided youth

Don't Get Mad

DON'T GET MAD
Vengeance is mine, says the Lord
Yahweh in heaven holds sway
When one among us must die
Who here among us can say?
But when the tough guys come
To push around the meek
They send you crashing to the floor
You read your good book
And you turn the other cheek
But they come slashing back for more
Don't get mad
Get even
You gave your lover the best
You gave her all that you had
You put your heart on the line
Taking the good with the bad
But then you catch her
As she stumbles through a lie
The shock just knocks you off your feet
You'd like to kill her
But you settle for goodbye
And throw her baggage in the street
Don't get mad
Get even
Don't get mad
Give it all you have
And just get even
It's an eye for an eye
and a tooth for s tooth
The ancient universal truth
Don't get mad
Jesus, the savior of man
Hung on the cross for the day
Paid for the sinners at hand
Time for the sinners to pay
And when those madmen
Drive their armies cross our lines
And hide their bombs upon our planes
They're holding hostages
Accusing us of crimes
And many innocent are slain
Don't get mad
Get even
Don't get mad
Give it all you have
and just get even
Don't get mad
Push the god-damned button
and get even

Third Rail

THIRD RAIL
Subway locations
A haven for those on the run
Tiles are gleaming
The steel wheels are screaming for fun
Third rail's the hot rail
You touch it you've seen your last trail
Beneath thee, come see
As I dance on the rails without fail
It's crazy, you say
With the lights in your eyes
Steel wheels
they grind on the track
They wager above you
You're damned if you fail
For dancing upon the third rail
Heaven, they say
lies above the subway
Hell lies below on the tracks
The tracks are red hot
The coins you can drop
say who's next?
The odd's five to one
That the next time you're done
Place your bets
Bookmakers screaming
While drunks lie there
bleeding to death
I dance on the third rail
I hear them all say
"Watch your step!"
It's crazy, you say
With the lights in your eyes
Steel wheels
they grind on the track.
They wager above you
You're damned if you fail
For dancing upon the third rail.
The Bowery boys say
That's the game they all play
Touch the third rail
you'll end the DTs.
The skid row attetests
It's the fastest way yet
Touch the third rail
you'll end up in Hell
Third rail......
Third rail.......
Third rail.......

Innocent Dreamer
05:19
|

INNOCENT DREAMER
Sleeping
waiting to awake
A moment of passion
created me today
Dreaming
a soul they will forsake
When the passion turns to fear
And a desperate decision
is sweeping me away.
Now the warmth I've been feeling
is turning to ice
And the darkest of thoughts are my last
I kick at the terror
and try to hold on
But the blackness is closing in fast
And the mother seeks her child
But her baby is not there
For her baby was a burden
That she once refused to bear
So she robbed him of his life
And she silenced all his dreams
Now her life is haunted with the guilt
That time cannot redeem
Oh, I hear the screams of
The innocent dreamer.
Who might you be?
Innocent dreamer,
You might have been me
Another soul has captured death
Without the chance to live
For apologies and second thoughts
That she never stopped to give
And another silenced voice
Whose dreams will never be
Denied a chance to fight for life
In a world too blind to see
Oh, don't look at me
It's the innocent dreamer,
Who could you be?
Innocent dreamer
You could have been me
I look inside me
And I think I see
A little innocent dreamer in me
Another nightmare wrecks her dreams
As the sweat pours from her brow
She awakens to her screams
And all the pain she's feeling now
'Cause she's loveless and alone
And she hangs her head to cry
She feels the sting of bitter tears
That only babies dry
Too late to ask why
It's the innocent dreamer
Who might you be?
Innocent dreamer
You might have been me
I thank my mother,
And I'm glad she'd seen
The innocent dreamer in me

The Hard Way

THE HARD WAY
It was easy to
so I quit school
Now I spend my time
I'm playin' the fool
Man, I'm up at five
got to tow the line
Break my back
just to stay alive!
My head is spinnin'
I don't know where I am.
You know I'm up, down, in, out
I don't know which way to go
I run in circles like a dog on a chain
And where the hell I'm goin'
God only knows!
The hard way!
Ain't got no college
Don't need no suit and tie
No quest for knowledge
Just do crack 'til you die
No time to study
Or to make future plans
You walk the city
With a gun in your hands
You think you're bad
When you're walkin' that line
The hard way's tougher
When you're doin' hard time
You got a limo
And you ride in the back
You cruise the schoolyards
Just to pass out the crack
You make your money
getting everyone high
You make your living
watching everyone die
You think you're bad
When you're walkin' that line
The hard way's tougher
When you're doin' hard time
The hard way's tougher
When you're doin' hard time

Ship to Shore

SHIP TO SHORE
My fate, it lies at sea
Above the ocean green
Ships with sails so tall
Pull the winds in full
As my ship I steer
Destiny appears
Upon your shore tonight
Make me feel alright
I'm calling, ship to shore
Won't you come on board?
We'll sail into the night
Together for all time
Girl, we'll live our lives
Through storm or paradise
Hand in hand with you
Beneath a sky of blue
If a storm appears
We must face our fears
Would you stand by me
For God above to see
I'm calling, ship to shore
Won't you come on board?
We'll steal into the night
Together for all time
Put your hand in mine
I'm calling, ship to shore
Calling, ship to shore
