SAVAGE LYRICS

1. Headstrong (Cult Of One)

No one gets the jump on me
I’m my own man
I don’t bend too easily
Hot blood fits me hand in glove
The bottom line

First when push comes to shove
My patience is wearing thin
You know it don’t last long
Don’t pin no badge on me
Back off
I’m headstrong

Loose lips, tact ain’t my style
‘Cause talk is cheap
Action not compromise
Reckless, care ain’t in my blood
If fools rush in
This fool can’t get enough

Suits me, you take your own sweet time
‘Cause I’ll step in
I don’t see no danger signs
Hot head keep your hands off me
Don’t push your luck
‘Cause I need my liberty

2. Anthem

Hey you with your head in the air
Get your feet on the ground
‘Cause there’s nothing up there
It’s sad, it’s bad, wize up – don’t you know
You’ve been had
You boy with the grin on your face
Think you act real cool
But you’re such a disgrace
Inside, soft hide
Talk real fast but you’re still tongue tied

We can beat this thing together
This is your song, Anthem

Hey girl, why go with the flow
When the world’s at your feet
And you’re in control
Your date, with fate, slips away if you hesitate
Young man, they got you all confused
Don’t you pay no mind
You got nothin’ to lose
Say hey, no way, had enough now get outta my way

We can beat this thing together
We are strong, Anthem

Hey you with your face in the dirt
You know it’s there for the taking
Still you act like a jerk
I tell you, true blue, stares you in the face
Still you haven’t got a clue
Old man laid out in the dust
Got your gear change gone
And your main drives rust
Left cold, too old, don’t you quit for that
line you’ve been sold

We can beat this thing together
We are strong, Anthem

3. How?

Father
Told us of glories gone
Brother
You were my father’s son
Father
You said God was on our side
So if he was
Why in the name of God
Was my brother sacrificed ?

Tell me how the cause was won
Boys to men we march along
A hero’s still a mother’s son
Tell me how the cause was won

Mama
A son’s the price you paid
Sister
Who will wipe your tears away
Mama
Will you take this to your grave ?
And did your heart burst ?
Your son placed in the dirt
Will we evre be the same again ?

4. This Means War

Brother, what colour ?
One nation, some dream
Still there are, those who
Would see it differently
But why can, one man
Choose another’s, destiny
Ain’t I right, it’s your life
Resistance is the key

Détente breakdown, this means war
Their system’s failing, the nations fall
Time out, can’t stall
God damned, this means war

Leaders, mislead us
For their, greater glory
Hands tied, you take sides
But who’s your, enemy
Wize up, get tough
It’s there, plain to see
Total, power
Corrupts totally

Conflicts of interest
The same old story
One man has hunger
The next man jealousy
Put aside those old ties
Prejudice, pretty greed
One try in his life
We don’t need this misery

5. Down 'n' Dangerous (Machine Gun)

I don’t look for trouble
He ain’t no friend of mine
Got a nasty reputation
That suits my frame of mind
Child of the urban jungle
They planned as paradise
Tower blocks and human garbage
Genocide

When the going get rough
Get tough
When enough is enough
Make a fuss
Get d, d, d, down and dangerous

The street ain’t got no pity
Not this here danger zone
Don’t come looking for mercy
Compassion ain’t at home
So if you’re lookin’ to rumble
You’d better apologise
I say like you and who’s army
kiss your as goodbye

6. Suffer The Children

It’s all the same, does nothing change
So who could care, when it’s over there
A child’s at stake, for pity’s sake
How long can we, just let it be

Don’t let the children cry
Sooner or later, mother nature
Bares the soul, we can’t control
Brother nation, poor relation
We must relent, for the innocents
Father can you hear me
How far Jerusalem
Forgive me but did you say
As I recall, suffer the children

7. Fashion By Force

Crazies in the still of the night
Armed and ready looking for a life
They got the look that means no good
Out to satisfy a growing taste for blood

It’s all the rage
The latest craze
Par for the course
Fashion by force

Jack he’s a real strange guy
Right out of the blue he blew his mind
Inside a demon crawls
Shark eyes, stone cold animal

Eastside first street and main
Sirens wail all too late again
These guys you can’t foresee
No cause, somebody’s history

8. Twist

You glitter like gold
But I see through imitation
I can’t be bought
With infra-red instead of sun

The video vamp
Cashing in on blind emotion
With your kinda smile
You are the tin God of them all

They’re screaming for your sweet talk
You sold a million more
You may be top slot
But you’re only girl’s talk

Innocence, your sweet pretence
It’s all amiss that’s what it is
A melody that ain’t on my list

M.T.V.’s star
The hero of the cathode ray tube
They’ll turn you on
When their mothers say they can

‘Coz money is all
a million pennies make a fortune
with your hip shakin’ jive
you are the tin God of them all

They overkilled your airplay
You sold a million more
Whispers in the playground
Girls will talk…

Somebody’s got a crush on you

9. Streets Of Fire

Juvenile on the corner
Cuts up rough just to make ends meet
Users in the subway
Pumpin’ juice outta sight of the heat

The law of the jungle
Lightning strikes
Red light, fair warning
Danger signs, streets of fire

Streetgirl makin’ small change
Turning tricks for nickels and dimes
Some loser take the last fall
Swinging from the end of a line

Danger awaits you
Eyes in the shadows, you crawl
Something will waste you
Overdosed, blown away, street mauled

10. Let The World Go Crazy

Wasting my time, wasting my life
That’s what they say about my kind
But I ain’t gonna shout, I ain’t gonna fight
Just dance the night away

No need to lose your head, or lose control
You don’t need no pocket full
Feel the rock ‘n’ roll, come on let go

Let the world go crazy
When the feeling is right
Throw your cares out of sight
Come on, let it go
Let the world go crazy
Come on, let it go

Time lingers on, time’s getting hard
I’m getting wize but I’m older
But I’ve got my pride, time’s my own
Though my money is long gone
Seems like the world’s gone by, left me behind
It may be a substitute for a dream
God knows, I’m gonna tell you

11. Glory Boys

Mama said step outta line
They’ll put a rope on you
I’ve heard it all a thousand times
Oh mama if you only knew
I’ve been through Hell and back
The truth I have tasted
Mama gave such good advice
On me it was wasted

We are the glory boys
Bad boys, big noise
All for glory boys

Had enough, we’re outta school
Don’t suit our style at all
Papa says your attitude
Will get you five down city hall
Preacher says the road to Hell
Takes my point of view
Well, God helps those who help themselves
Now would I lie to you

12. Let It Loose '95

We won’t need to intimidate you
If we get a major breakthrough
So come on – let it loose

You’ve all seen this all before
So come on, get up and off of the floor
Let’s go – let it loose

We’re not here to read your rights
Tonight’s the night you do what you like
Hey you there – let it loose

If it’s much too loud, well, we don’t care
Are you ready – let it loose

Going crazy

We’ve the goods to appetise
Take it all, don’t compromise
Let it loose

Forget tomorrow, we’re here today
Is it what you want, are you here to stay
What do you say – let it loose

13. Hot 'N' Ready

14. Are You Ready
