SEBASTIAN BACH LYRICS

1. Rock 'N' Roll

2. Done Bleeding

You came to me in my disbelief
Suspicions running wild
Confuse me
Too good to be true
Angel soaring free
My trust was broke
When the devil used me

My battered heart
Was torn and ripped apart
Transgression into lies and treason

Well, I'm done bleeding, or so they say
I won't get in line to get thrown away
And I'm done bleeding, or so I'm told
Suck the blood straight from the stone

Stayed stinking drunk
Frat house Magna Cum Laude Punk
Toy for the mind anything that soothes me
Taste my disease
I'm a masochist to please
My love for you
Drove me to rack and ruin

So if I seem uptight
Scarred from the switchblade knife
Scarred for life when the cut's done healing

Well, I'm done bleeding, or so they say
I won't get in line to get thrown away
And I'm done bleeding, or so I'm told
Suck the blood straight from the stone

Come tap the vein
My heart remains the same
Keep beating
Done bleeding

Well, I'm done bleeding, or so they say
I won't get in line to get thrown away
And I'm done feeling times are tough
Strike me down, I'll get right back up at you
Straight from the stone
Straight out, straight out, straight out

Done bleeding
Done bleeding
Done bleeding
Done bleeding

3. Superjerk, Superstar, Supertears

Anyone, almost everyone doesn't like to be alone
There's no match no the road and the crowd is going home

All along I've been knocking off my friends one by one
And now I see I'm not the only, only, only one

Does it help you to cry when you're alone?
Is it worth is?
Do you even like home?

Superjerk, Superstar, Supertears stream down his face
Vagrant stud, vagrant stud

All along I've been knocking off my friends one by one
And now I see I'm not the only, only, only one

Does it help you to cry when you're alone?
Is it worth is?
Do you even like home?

Superjerk, Superstar, Supertears stream down his face

4. Blasphemer

Blasphemer, you're not too blessed
You're a mystery mess
Blasphemer

You've come untied
You've come undressed
Blasphemer

Close your eyes and the world succumbs
Cherry bide, lovely laser lungs
Blasphemer

The throne by default
Certainly's not my fault
Blasphemer

Blasphemer, you know your place
Turn off your face
Blasphemer

Bind my limbs but untie the truth
Old or young, we're the same as you
Blasphemer

You're not too blessed
You're a mystery mess
You've come untied
You've come undressed
You know your place
Turn off your face

5. Counterpunch

I wanna kiss you, wanna kill you
Fill you
You wanna fight me, wanna like me
Bite me,
You wanna give it up
I'll never give it up
I wanna forget it but my mind won't let it go

We are seduced and then forgotten
By the fist of ill-begotten gains
When you hit the wall
Scale the heights and take the fall
When nothing's all there is
You've hit the skids.

First you date me, then forsake me
Rape me
Top of the mountain, then we
Drown in the fountain
Blood brothers. Godfathers. Sweet sisters
Blah blah blah
Best of friends
Stabbed each other in the end

You're so sweet
Sweet enough to smack
Or maybe we're just tough nuts to crack
When you hit the wall
Scale the heights and take the fall
When nothing's all there is
You've hit the skids.

6. Slave To The Grind (Live)

"Tokyo, would you please welcome USA's original Youth Gone Wild: Sebastian Bach and His Friends"

You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I'm still stuck inside this rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I'm just another gear in the assembly line - oh no

The noose gets tighter around my throat
But I ain't at the end of my rope

Won't be the one left behind
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind

A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain't even close
There's no need to waste your prayers on me
You better mark my words 'cause I'm history
Yes indeed

You might beg for mercy to get by
But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side

Won't be the one left behind
Can't be a king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind

Swallow their daggers by turning their trick
Tore my intentions apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive, talk verbal insecticide

TOKYO!

Swallowed their daggers by turning their trick
Tore my intentions apart brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive, you talk verbal insecticide

I won't be the one left behind
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be a king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind

Tokyo!
Tokyo!

7. Frozen (Live)

This is called "Frozen"

Come on!

As I stare into the fire
All my thoughts go up in flames
Here I stare into the fire
I'll be waiting on the rain

The box I keep myself in, closes out my air
So I build a fire, so I can sit and stare

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen

As I stare into Tokyo
My eyes drying from the cold
As I stare into the weather
I sense my thoughts growing old

I listen to the prophets predict the stem of tides
I stare into the weather that's keeping me inside

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen

Tokyo

Give me some lights, Tokyo
Give me some fucking lights
Can you hear the bass guitar?
Can you feel the bass guitar?
Then Larry, get over here, give them some bass!

As I stare into the fire
Will the prophets change my mind
While I stare into the fire
All the colors treat me kind

I'll dust away the fallings the winter leaves for me
I'll stare into the fire and set tomorrow free

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be that I'm frozen
Frozen

8. 18 & Life (Live)

If you know the words to this; please sing along

You guys know this song, Tokyo?

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down
He had no money, ooh no good at home
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
Now it's

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun
Bang, bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and a life to go
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and a life to go
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time, it's
18 and life to go

9. Beat Yourself Blind (Live)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,hey, two, three, dig it!

Tokyo

Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstition
Pour me a chemical to take away the edge
Don't make up anything that's breaking all your fingers
Just slapped around a bit of what it takes to pledge

Carry out another stone as a slave
Ask general know-it-all "Who's juggling the earth?"
Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave
And shove aside your nation all for what it's worth

Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind

Hey, hey, hey, two, three, dig it!

An open eyes and a closed mind
Look at the suit in suspended animation
A faded outline that used to be a man
A piece of paper that's fallen out a window
Has got a better chance to know where it lands

Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind

To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain
Under my eyes are painted skies

Larry, get up there, man!

Down at the boneyard, they're diggin' up the relics
Handfuls of parasites thrown into the machine
I got the phone call, they're tearin' down the mission
The zombies had a ball, but don't know what it means
They don't know what it means
They don't know what it means, no, no
They don't know, no, no, no

Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Come on, Tokyo
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind
Beat yourself blind

Yeah, Tokyo, you having fun tonight?

10. Riot Act (Live)

I never wanted to be President
'Cause it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah
I didn't want your education
'Cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit
You bore me to death, so shut up for God's sake

Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act

I couldn't listen to a word you said
This goin' nowhere thing is wearin' fuckin' thin
When your sex, your drugs, and your valid vic'
Is just the spit I wipe off my chin
I'd rather go nowhere than not know where it's at

Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act
Oh, my god

I never wanted to be President
'Cause it's nothin' but an ego trip
I didn't want your education
'Cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit
You bore me to death, so shut up for God's sake

Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me
Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act
The riot act
The riot act
The riot act

11. Mudkicker (Live)

Mudkicker!

We stand accused but you lie
Varicose-veined finger
Prejudiced evil mind
The young get stronger
Free living fast
But you're a sapsucker
Ain't gonna last

Your twisted mouths feed the minds of babes
Taught from birth it's crime that pays
One man's fortune is another man's pain
But that's how you play the game

I ain't the child of your disgrace
Mudkickin' into my face
I've healed the wounds, been crucified
Mudkicker kick

All rise, 'cause here comes the boss
He's your big brother, the silver tongue's doublecross
His collar starched white, big black briefcase held tight
It holds the power to your demise

The corporation blue sedan
Behind the wheel Mr. Business-man
Thinks he's got the upper hand
But he misunderstands

I ain't the child of your disgrace
Mudkick into my face
Healed the wounds, been crucified
Mudkicker kick
I ain't the child of your disgrace
Mudkicker into my face
I've healed the wounds, been crucified
Mudkicker kick

Fuckin' Tokyo, you rock an' roll!

Your prestige is clear as day
But I can scrape the sewer bilge and see the same
The young get stronger, free living fast
You're a sapsucker, ain't gonna last, no

I ain't the child of your disgrace
You're mudkickin' into my face
I've healed the wounds, I been crucified
Mudkicker kick
I ain't the child of your disgrace
Mudkicker into my face
I've healed the wounds, been crucified
Mudkicker kick
Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down
Mudkicker kickin' me all around
Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down
Mudkicker
Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down
Mudkicker kickin' me all around
Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down
Mudkicker kick

I said mudkicker, I said mud
We don't fuck around, no

Gimme some lights out Tokyo, right here
Hello, hello, hello
You guys are screaming so loud, you're gonna be coming through every fucking stereo system speaker on the planet Earth!

12. In A Darkened Room (Live)

This is song called "In A Darkened Room"

Let me see your hands out here, Tokyo

In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed
And the innocence of a child is bought and sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent and cold

Forgive me please for I know not what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true

Tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room

All the precious times have been put to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust
And watch it crystallize
While my salvation crumples to dust

Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore

Tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be...
Please....please....please let there be light
In a darkened room

13. Monkey Business / Godzilla (Live)

[Monkey Business (Skid Row)]

Outside my window there's a
Whole lot of trouble comin'
The cartoon killers and the
Rag cover clones
Stack heels kickin' rhythm
Of social circumcision
Can't close the closet on
Shoe box full of bones

Kangaroo lady with her bourbon
in a pouch
Can't afford the rental on
a bamboo couch
Collecting back her favors 'cause her
well is running dry
I know her act is terminal,
But she ain't gonna die

Slim intoxicado drinkin' dime
store hooch
Is always in a circle with his
part-time pooch
Little creepy's playing dollies in the
New York rain
Thinkin' Bowie's just a knife
Ooh the pain

I ain't seen the sun since I don't
know when
The freaks come out at nine
And it's twenty to ten
What's this funk
That you call junk
To me it's just monkey business

Blind man in the vox that will
probably die
The village kids laugh as they walk by
A psycho is on the edge of this human
garbage dump
And the vultures in the sewers
are telling
Him to jump

Into the fire from the frying pan
Tripping on his tongue
For a cool place to stand
Where's this shade
That you've got it made
To me it's just monkey business

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business if I got
No monkey on my back

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business
If I got
Monkey's on my back

[Godzilla (Blue Öyster Cult)]

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

[Monkey Business (reprise) (Skid Row)]

The Vaseline gypsies and silicone souls
Dressed to the society
Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis
Can't get you by that monkey

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business if I got
No monkey on my back

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business
If I got
Monkey's on my back

14. The Most Powerful Man In The World (Live)

If I could love you all
I would be the most powerful man in the world
And if I could conquer hate
Love would be my fate
For sure

'Cause I've danced with clowns
And have hugged fools
Where love's concerned
There are no rules

If I could burn my past
With a match
I easily would
Then to begin again
I would be the most powerful man in the world

'Cause I've danced with clowns
And have hugged fools

If I could love you all
I would be the most powerful man in the world

15. I Remember You (Live)

You remember me, Japan?
Because I remember you, baby!
Sing with me one time

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letter's innocence - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe", whitout a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letter's innocence - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made......

I swear you'll never be lonely

Mr Richie Scarlet on the lead guitar, right here

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Hey Tokyo, I love you

Love letter's innocence - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you
Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letter's innocence - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

16. Youth Gone Wild (Live)

Alright, Tokyo, this is for all the fucking Youth...
I say Tokyo, this is for all the Youth Gone Wild

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
I never played by the rules, I never really cared
My nasty reputation took me to Tokyo, Japan

Well, I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young, raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spent our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Get a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me
I said "Hey man, there's something that you ought to know
Park Avenue leads to Skid Row"

I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall, ain't never a doubt
We are the young, shout it out

They call us problem child
We spent our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
Let me hear you wild

They call us problem child
We spent our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild

We are the youth gone wild
