1. We're Not Gonna Take It

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do

We're not gonna take it
Come on
No, we ain't gonna take it
You're all worthless and weak
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it
A pledge pin
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh you on your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore

3. I Am (I'm Me)

I am: I'm me
Who are you to look down
At what I believe?
I'm on to your thinking
And how you deceive
Well, you can't abuse me
I won't stand no more
Yes, I know the reasons
Yes, I know the score

I am, and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am, and I'll be
I am: I'm me

How I tried to please you
Live the way you said
Do the things that you do
Like the living dead
Then the truth it hit me
Got me off my knees
It's my life I'm living
I'll live as I please

I am, and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am, and I'll be
I am: I'm me

Now's the time to stand tall
Start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart
Now's the time for you

I am, and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am, and I'll be
I am: I'm me
I am, I'm me
I am, I'm me

4. The Price

How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried,
Oh, how I've tried
For a life, yes a life
I thought I knew

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done

Time seems to have frozen,
But the mind can be fooled
As the days pass I discover
Destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times,
Oh hard times,
For the prize, yes the prize,
I thought I knew

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done

Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done

5. You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll

Here it comes, you're never gonna top it
On a run, no way you can stop it
Total style, perfection in decay
Running wild, flat out all the way

Now you can ride it high
And you can light the way
Lift up your hands in praise
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll

Like a charging bull, it's a juggernaut
With steam at full, never to be caught
Incarnate power, roaring from the sky
While others cower, rock ain't gonna die

Now you can ride it high
And you can light the way
Lift up your hands in praise
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll

It's an angry steed,
On a never ending course
With grace and speed
It's an unrelenting force
His head thrown back, defiantly proud
Under constant attack,
It's blasting, fast and loud

Now you can ride it high
And you can light the way
Lift up your hands in praise
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll

Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop you can't stop it
Can't stop, can't you stop it
Can't stop you can't stop it

6. The Kids Are Back

We walk the streets
In tattered armies
We got the lion in our heart
We're not lookin' for trouble
Just for some fun
But we're all ready if you wanna' start

So just remember the,
The kids are back
The kids are back
Oh, watch out
The kids are back

Well, can you blame us
For living our dreams?
Just look around and you'll see why
We don't want to follow
That same routine
Maybe it's for nothin', but we gotta try

So just remember the,
The kids are back
The kids are back
Oh, watch out
The kids are back
Look out

Now there's no problem
No need to fuss
We ain't out to stop your fun
Don't mind us askin'
'cause we gotta know
How can we stop it when you're havin' none?

So just remember the,
The kids are back
The kids are back
Oh, watch out
The kids are back
So just remember the,
The kids are back
The kids are back
Oh, watch out
The kids are back
The kids are back

7. Shoot 'Em Down

Come on boys!
She looks so fine
Like champagne or wine
No one ever gets her
Oh ain't she cool
Plays us for fools
If we wanna let her
Across the room she's sees some buffoon
Blown away by her style
She goes out of her way so that she can play
And make him beg for a little while

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Like caviar
Or a fine foreign car
He's a motivator
Dressed to the T's
They're down on their knees
He's a master baiter
He'll make 'em crawl for the hell of it all
He like's to see 'em cry
And then just for fun he'll say she's the one
And then he'll make her die
He's gonna

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

They don't care about feelings
They were meant to be stepped on
And while one is healing
They go and step on another one

Now, these people prey
On us everyday
Some are bad, some badder
They think we're fools
So they make their own rules
It only gets us madder
Well they think they're hot
Well I say they're not
They shoot us down for fun
If they wanna play
Let's make 'em pay and
Shoot them down with a f**kin' gun

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Come on now!
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot them down
Come on honey
Shoot them down
Come on shoot 'em down

8. Under The Blade

A glint of steel
A flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch
Doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape
From the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!

You're cornered in the alley way
You know you're all alone
You know it's gonna end this way
The chill goes to the bone
Now here it comes that glistening light
It goes into your side
The blackness comes
Tonight's the night
The blade is gonna ride

'cause you're under the blade
Oh
You're under the blade

It's not another party head
This time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped
A light shines in your eyes
You faintly see a razor's edge
You open your mouth to cry
You know you can't
It's over now
The blade is gonna ride

'cause you're under the blade
Oh
You're under the blade

A glint of steel
A flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch
Doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape
From the bed you've made
When your time has come, you'll accept the blade!

You've tried to make it to the front
You're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now
Its mouth is open wide
The lights go on, the night explodes
It tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again
The blade is gonna ride

'cause you're under the blade
Oh
You're under the blade
Here it comes baby
Whoaaaaaaahhhh...
You're goin' down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...

9. I'll Never Grow Up, Now!

They say:
Hey what are you doin' with your life
Why don't you settle down and find yourself a wife
Don't you know you can't run away from here
When will you act your age, why don't you listen dear

I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up now

They say:
You better stop your dreamin'
You're goin' nowhere fast
What if we throw you out
How long you think you'll last
When will you go to school, why don't you get a job
Hey girl you better shape up, you're lookin' like a slob

Well I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up now
And I say it again
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up now

I can't believe you can't hear what you're saying
Take a good look at yourself
Why don't you listen to the music we're playing
Go pick on somebody else

They say:
You think that life's a free ride
Well take a tip from me
We're gonna end your party
With some responsibility

Everybody say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up now
Oh I know you can do better than that
Everybody sing
I'll never grow up
Gimme me more
I'll never grow up
Gimme more
I'll never grow up now
Gimme, gimme, gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
I'll never grow up
Hey you in the back
I'll never grow up
Yeah you
Don't just stand there sing along
I'll never grow up now
Everybody
I'll never grow up
C'mon now
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up now
Whoopee!
I want my mother
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
What are all these people doin' in my room
I'll never grow up now
Get off my bed
Hey watch it you're crushing my dresser
I'll never grow up
What's that midget doin' here
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up now

10. Bad Boys (Of Rock 'N' Roll)

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll

Well I don't think I'll make it through another day
It's eight o'clock and all ain't well
My brain hurts so much it's startin' to decay
And I'm livin' in my private hell
Didn't somebody tell me this would be so great
Be the best thing I ever had?
How come they never told me 'bout the word "exaggerate"
How'd somethin' so good get so bad?
'cause hey, I gotta know
Am I slow?
Where do I go from here?
Do ABC's
And 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll

Sing it Alice
I see them walkin' 'round like the livin' dead
Ain't they got nothin' between their ears
How come they don't seem to hear a single word I say?
They ain't the only ones who're bored to tears
Now there must be a better way to educate
'cause this way ain't workin' like it should
Can't they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate
That makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good
'cause hey I gotta know
What I'll have to show
When I hi-hi-ho it from here
Will I be in pain
Or will I have a brain
Or will I go insane, I've gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane

'cause hey I gotta know
What I'll have to show
When I hi-hi-ho it from here
Do ABC's and 123's
Mean that much to me
That much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
All right

11. What You Don't Know (Sure Can Hurt You) (Live Version)

Good evening! welcome to our show
If you've got that problem
Well I think that you should know
This ain't the same old story
Or the same old song and dance
Don't speak of faded glory
'cause you won't get a second chance
I want to tell you something
I'm someone you can trust
You better take a good hard look
Cause there's a diamond in this dust
Hit it! we're no overnight sensation
No Cinderella fantasy
Please no plaudits or ovations
I've heard it all before you see

What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you can't see makes you scream
What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you don't have is what you dream

Ain't we a pretty picture?
Ain't we a load of fun?
Don't let me influence you
I'll do that when we're done
Oh, are we irritating?
Oh, are we grating on your nerves?
Don't you know that the good boys
Never get what they deserve

What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you can't see makes you scream
What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you don't have is what you dream

Your brain is filled with questions
You don't know how or why
Don't look to me for answers, honey
'cause I don't want to lie

How do you like it so far?
Say ain't we quite a show?
There's no one else quite like us
The others all get up and go
Don't fill my head with stories
You see I ain't no debutante
Let's get to the nitty gritty
Now you give me what I want

What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you can't see makes you scream
What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you don't have is what you dream

12. Destroyer (Live Version)

He spent his life
A silent sentinel
For all to fear
He walks, he talks, he thinks, he feels,
But no dare go near
He takes in all he sees
Nothing escapes his gaze
And when he strikes
He strikes for right
A glorious sight

Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town

He came to be
From a grand mistake
A mystical charade
Created to decide the good
And bring repercussive aid
As awareness filled his fame
He examined those who leered
The he cleeved the air
With his fiery stare
Rend all those there

Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town

A day will come
You'll be drawn into
The center of your town
And come upon a mass of steel
That cracks the very ground
Prepare to meet your judge
Don't think to run away
Just pray your face
Holds no disgrace
For the deadly ace

Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town
Oh, he's town
You'd better stay out of his way
He's gonna kick your ass
Yeah!

Destroyer

13. Tear It Loose (Live Version)

There ain't no way I'm gonna wait for Saturday night
I worked all day, I slaved away
I gotta set it right
Gonna hit the streets, cruise around
I gotta find some action
Ain't gonna stop until I drop or get some satisfaction!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream
Shout and scream!
I'm gonna
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Come on now
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose

I've been brutalized, computerized
Punched in and punched out
Now here comes the night and it just ain't right
To be shut in or shut out
So I'm breaking down the barricades
Gonna slow the hands of time
Cause to waste away the rest of the day
Is such a f**king crime!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream
Shout and scream!
I've got to
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
You've got to
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose

I'll keep grabbin' hold of all the gold
In this old world of trash
Long as there's light breakin' through the night
I'm never gonna crash
And if I'm down and out one day
I won't throw in the deuce
I'll just kick it out, thrash about
Till I tear it loose, oh!
Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream
Shout and scream!
We've got to
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
All right let's
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose
Tear it loose

14. Run For Your Life (Live Version)

He wakes up in the mornin'
And he looks into the glass
His face it reminds him
Of the long nights that have passed
And he wonders
If she wonders
That he wonders
About her
Well darlin'
You'd better

Run for your life

Girl you played with my head
You destroyed my mind
Now I'd be better off dead
You'd better

Run for your life
Through abused intentions
You misused my trust
Now's the time for redemption
You'd better

Run for your life

Girl, my life's in ruins
Pay 'the tab of pain'
Now, I'm after you and
You'd better

Run for your life
You'd better
Run for your life
You'd better
Run for your life

15. It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (Live Version)

If I could stick my hand in my heart
Spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy, would it slide on by
Would you think the boy is strange, ain't he strange?

If I could win you, if I could sing you
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried, if I cried?

Said, I know it's only rock 'n' roll, I like it
I know it's only rock 'n' roll, like it, like it, yes I do
I said I like it, said I like it, I said I like it
Baby, can't you see this old boy has been a lonely?

If I could stick your knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain, ease your brain?

If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy, would it slide on by
Would you think the boy's insane, he's insane

Well, I know it's only rock 'n' roll, I like it
I know it's only rock 'n' roll, like it, like it, yes I do
I said I like it, I said I like it, said I like it
Baby, can't you see this old boy has been a lonely?

I bet you think that you're the only girl around
I bet you think that you're the only boy in town, town, town, ow
