MOTORHEAD LYRICS

1. Civil War

White noise is coming
The wolf at your door
Do you hear the drummin'?
Outside your window
Outside your window

Civil war, civil war
All your yesterdays gone before
Civil war, civil war
Can you tell me what you're fighting for?

Soldiers of Fortune
The traitor within
Blood on the pale moon
Outside your window, outside your window

Children learn to kill
Bet your ass you'll pay the bill
Season of the dog
The dollar takes the place of God

Death laughs in your face
Anarchy will take your place
You give all your children guns
See what you have done
Backlash coming soon
Joker gonna call the tune

Your children are learning
You teach them to hate
Your cities are burning
Outside your window
Outside your window

2. Crazy Like A Fox

Babe you're dressed to kill tonight
I get ahead of myself
If you knew what you do to me
You'll be with someone else
Jump back, be cool, you make me feel
Like I'm back at school
Make me crazy, crazy for you
Oh you make me hot
Come on, show me what you got
You're moving slow, baby don't say no
You move like a rattlesnake
And I can't stand no more, oh babe

You're gonna wreck my mind
And I hope you do it all the time
You better give it your best shot
You know I'm crazy, crazy like a fox
Don't you turn your back on me
You just make it worse
You look just as beautiful
When you're movin' in reverse
Come on, be nice, oh babe
You're gonna wreck my life
Make me crazy, make me jump all night
Oh you make me die
When I look into your eyes
I'm moving in, I'm coming through
You must be an earthquake
'Cause I'm shaking in my shoes

You're gonna wreck my mind
And I hope you do it all the time
I love you're body 'cause it rocks
You make me crazy, crazy like a fox
Come on honey, take my hand
'Cause we're out of here
I'm gonna take you home with me
I'm gonna whisper in your ear
Come on, make it quick
Oh, mama, hit me with your rhythm stick
It's magic time
But I don't play no tricks
Oh baby come on
You know I want to get it on
You must be a guitar player
The way you're stringing me along

Oh babe, you're gonna wreck my mind
And I hope you do it all the time
I'm gonna knock you out of your socks
You make me crazy, crazy like a fox
You've been doin' it all the time
You know I love you, love you lots
Crazy like a fox
You're gonna wreck my mind
I hope you do it all the time

3. I Don't Believe A Word

Don't talk to me, I don't believe a word
Don't try to make me feel alright
All the love in all the world
Is not enough to save my soul tonight
Don't be my friend I'm not a fool
Don't talk of things that we cannot see
When all the ones that sing the blues
Sometimes I think of how it used to be

I have seen the Devil laugh
I have seen God turn his face away
I have nothing left to lose
I have nothing left to say
I have seen the sky turn black
I have seen the seas run dry
I have nothing that is yours
I have nothing now that is not mine

Don't look at me your eyes are cold & hard
Don't wonder that I turn to you
All the grief in all the world
Is not enough to make me comfort you
Don't tell me lies, I'm not a dog,
Don't talk of love it seems to me
All the people that we rob
Sometimes I think of how they used me

I have seen the fires of Hell
I have seen Angels with flaming swords
I have nothing that is mine
I have much that could be yours
I have seen the eye of God
I have heard lies that are true
I have nothing for myself
I have nothing I would give to you

Don't say that word, I know it's only fools
Who do not know their fate is just
All the justice in the world
Is not enough to buy my faith & trust
Don't make that face I won't be pleased
Don't make a sideshow of yourself
All the people we released
Sometimes I think you're someone else

I have been where none have been
In the empty howling rooms
I have everything I need
I have everything you stand to lose
I have seen the diamond worlds
I have seen the shape of space
I have nothing but the world
I have nothing to take its place
I don't believe a word, I don't believe a word ...

4. Eat The Gun

Eat the gun, eat the gun
Eat the gun, eat the gun
Join the army, join the army
Eat the gun, eat the gun
Die in awful pain, die in awful pain,
Die in awful pain, die in awful pain,
Die in awful pain, die in awful pain
Awful Pain
Shoot them all, shoot them all,
Shoot them all, shoot them all
Cut their heads off, cut their heads off
Shoot them all, shoot them all
Everything that moves, everything that moves
Everything that moves, everything that moves
Everything that moves, everything that moves
That moves
Big 'n' tough, big 'n' tough
Big 'n' tough, big 'n' tough
Not a sissy, not a sissy,
Strong 'n' rough, strong 'n' rough
Your gun is so big, your gun is so big
Oh wow
Your gun is so big, your gun is so big
Oh wow
Your gun is so big, your gun is so big
Oh wow

5. Overnight Sensation

I know you're only talking
To keep the silence out
Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt
You're just handing out bad reputations
Why don't you shut your mouth

Overnight sensation,
All mouth and no soul
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

I know I ain't no beauty
But I know who I am
I ain't running for sheriff
I ain't that kind of man
To live outside the law , my dear
You gotta give a damn

Overnight sensation
You be shot full of holes
The bad boys stole your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You know you put the hurt on me
You do it all the same
Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all
Our faces fit the frame
You know I'm only talking
To keep you here with me
Maybe you should listen
How hard could it be
Good manners don't cost nothing
But that ain't what you want from me

Overnight sensation
Turn your hard heart cold
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You're just looking for someone
To take your spirit home
The bad boys sold your franchise, baby
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

6. Love Can't Buy You Money

You dare to tell me what to do
You have a lot of nerve
Watch your mouth or you might get
The dentist you deserve
You're leaving soon, your awful doom
Example to us all
You be so far back you won't
Hear the hound-dogs call

Go Go, whaddya know
I know what the deal is
You might try to cop a feel
And I know what a feel is
You go out and you go down
Some might think it's funny
Prostitute, destitute
Love can't buy you money
Don't you know the way is slow
And you've run out of time
Watch your feet or you might fall
And it's been quite a climb
Breaks my heart to say good-bye
But that's the way it goes
Don't you see, the hanging tree
Get up on your toes

Well here we are among the stars
Dizzy from the rush
We can't see your face no more
Behind that burning bush
Your Bible hits the floor as we
Exchange our fond good-byes
Turned around & falling down
Funny how time flies

7. Broken

You don't know the trouble you're in
Linvin' in paradise, livin' in sin
You better watch out baby one of these days
Another man coming gonna change your ways

Broken, broken truth must be spoken
Can we be responsible, is someone keeping score
Broken, broken when all guns are smoking
Do you want to die then, according to the law
Sunshine, moonshine, fire & flood
Death come hungry to your neighbourhood
You better watch out baby, one of these nights
Somebody coming to shoot out your lights

Broken, broken, lies will be spoken
Must we be expendable, is that what we are for
Broken, broken, when all doors are closing
Shall we say good-bye then, according to the law
You better move baby cut & run
Better get back to where you come from
You better watch out baby, stay in line
You're gonna lose out to a life of crime

Broken, broken, swear I ain't jokin'
Is nothing sacred, no lovers anymore
Broken, broken, when virgins are chosen
Then who will choose you according to the law
Broken, broken truth must be spoken
Too late to be virgins, too early to be whores
Broken, broken when all guns are smokin'
Then you must be silent, according to the law.

8. Them Not Me

Did you see the accident, the road is red with blood
Funny how it makes you feel really, really good
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
'Zactly like I knew it would
I can't help it everytime anybody dies
I can't help it if it brings a sparkle to my eyes
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Every time a nice surprise
Them not me, them, not me,
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Streets are like a slaughterhouse, turn right on the red
Here come pedestrians, night of living dead
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Guess they should have stood in bed
Them not me, them, not me
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
Alive not Dead
When I see those flashing lights & hear those sirens moan
See the smile on my face, I grab my mobile phone
It was them, it wasn't me
It was them, it wasn't me
Murder in the Twighlight Zone
Them not me, them, not me
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Them not me, them, not me
I can still be, I can still be free
Them not me, them not me
Over and over and over
Them, not me

9. Murder Show

Killer, Killer, he knows where you live
Action, thriller, how much would you give
To be there, watching, when the killer strikes
To be there, greedy, when he takes a life

Something in humanity is real keen to go
These days everybody gets to go to the murder show
Fire, fire, children die in flames
People standing, to see them scream in pain
Roadkill, roadkill, slow down your car
You might see the victim if he wasn't dragged too far

People seem to want to see themselves laid low
These days everybody gets to go to the murder show
Rapist, Rapist, people driving by
Racist, Racist, cross burn in the sky
No one to help them, no one to raise a hand
Everyone frightened all across the land

One day they might get to see a face they know
These days everybody gets to go
Something in humanity is real keen to go
These days everybody gets to go to the murder show

10. Shake The World

Save me from this cold embrace
Hide me from the man in black
Take me from this dreadful place
Save my life, I break your back

Shake the world, I swear I know the world
And I know what it needs
I will make all hearts to break
I make all souls to bleed
Save me from the dogs of war
Roll away the door of stone
Raise me from the killing floor
Save myself I break your bones

Will you break, will you deserve the love you take
Can you survive the fall
Are you the one to save us
Or will you just enslave us
And will you face the Law?
Wake me from this dream of blood
Now before the murder starts
I would not help you if I could
Save my head I break your heart

Shake the world, I swear I hate the world
I smell its rotten breath
Blood and souls and mind control
The world desires our death
Shake the world, I swear I love the world
The world know what I crave
More confusion, abuse and disillusion
The world defiles the brave

11. Listen To Your Heart

Here we are, about to blow a fuse
Hold it down, 'cause if you move you lose
Give me time, I need to make mistakes
Give me love, before my poor heart breaks

Listen to your heart, Listen all your life
Listen to your hear, and then you'll be alright
Don't you see, the truth is always close
Eyes are wide, just like you seen a ghost
Give me hope, 'cause I was never sure
Give me faith, 'cause I was never yours

Listen to your heart, Listen all your life
Look into my eyes, before you say good-bye
Raise your hand, if you deserve the blame
If you can, them you won't die ashamed
Give me strength, so I can make a stand
Give me light, so I can show my hand
Look me in the eyes
Before we say good-bye
Tell me the truth or die
and then you'll be alright
