1. Stay Hungry
Are you feeling the fire, are you ready to explode?
Are your dreams and desires riding down an open road?
I'm like a runaway, a heart without a home
Others can laugh and play
I'll fight for every inch I take, I'm desperate to the bone
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
Be the hunter and the hunted, keep your target in your sight
Don't be side tracked or shunted, let pretenders feel your bite
And if you start to slide never show you're weak
Don't feel you've got to hide
Remember what you're fighting for, remember what you seek
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
Alright
[Solo: Jay Jay]
If your fire is faded and you can't feel it no more
If you're tired and overrated, let me show you to the door
Expect no sympathy, there's none to be had
Open your eyes and see
There's no room for the wannabees, the has beens or the bad
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
2. We're Not Gonna Take It
We're Not Gonna Take It
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
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, 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
Oh
Oh
We're right, yeah
We're free, yeah
We'll fight, yeah
You'll see, yeah
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
No way
[Solo: Eddie]
Oh
Oh
We're right, yeah
We're free, yeah
We'll fight, yeah
You'll see, yeah
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
We're not gonna take it (no)
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore (just you try and make us)
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 (now drop and give me twenty)
We're not gonna take it (a pledge pin)
No, we ain't gonna take it (on your uniform)
We're not gonna take it anymore
3. Burn In Hell
[Introduction � Eddie]
Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there's no work or play, only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say as you go down, down, down
You're gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell
You can't believe all the things I've done wrong in my life
Without even trying I've lived on the edge of a knife
Well, I've played with fire, but I don't want to get myself burned
To thine own self be true, so I think that it's time for a turn
Before I burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell
Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see
It's black and it's dark, now is that how you want it to be?
It's up to you, what you do will decide your own fate
Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late
And then you'll burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
[Solo: (Left: Eddie), (Right: Jay Jay)]
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free (you're gonna burn in hell)
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
You're gonna burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me
4. Horror Teria: Captain Howdy And Street Justice
[CAPTAIN HOWDY]
Oh, it's so nice to see you all inside my dreamy little world
And it's so nice to be with all you lovely little boys and girls
Make yourselves comfortable, my place is so divine
Don't you think I'm wonderful? Say yes! You're on my time
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
Don't try to leave, the doors are locked and only I have got the key
Forget the windows, they're nailed shut and boarded up so you can't see
You'll love the light show, oh, I'm sure you'll think it's swell
When they go off, you're welcome to my living hell
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
[Solo: Eddie]
Come here, my sweet
Let me help you with that
There, that's better
I'm overjoyed at all the games I'm playing here with you today
But I'm so sad the party's over and we can no longer play
You think you're going home to your own little bed
But that's impossible, you can't sleep when you're dead
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
[STREET JUSTICE]
It happened in the broad daylight
So unexpected came the knife
A child's scream sliced through the air
But no one came or seemed to care, no
The man's description did little good
A local stranger from the neighborhood
Those little kids, oh, he left behind
With their mangled lives and their tortured minds
Since he didn't seem to care, then don't you think it's only fair
Call for street justice
Let no mercy show
Call for street justice
Don't let him go
The man was caught and brought before a judge
Who had just returned from a three drink lunch
His lawyer screamed "you must set him free"
And off he went on a technicality
Since the law don't seem to care, then don't you think it's only fair
Call for street justice
Why should parents cry?
Call for street justice
How many have to die?
[Solo: Jay Jay]
The mob assembled, smoke filled the air
And marched in anger to do what's fair
To bring to justice this soulless thing
And show the others what evil brings
Now before you shake your head, think if it was your child instead
Call for street justice, tell me what you'd do
Call for street justice, pray this isn't true
Call for street justice, why should parents cry
Call for street justice, how many have to die
Call for street justice, when slime escapes the law
Call for street justice, we'll even up the score
Call for street justice, let no mercy show
Call for street justice, please don't let him go
[End-fill: Eddie]
5. I Wanna Rock
I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
Turn it down you say
But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it
There's only one thing I can say to you
I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the power up
I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so, let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather do
I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)

Rock (rock)
I wanna rock!
[Solo: Eddie]
I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
6. 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
[Solo: Eddie]
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
7. Don't Let Me Down
Look at you, you're my dream
Are you all that you seem?
Now you have what I need and what I believe
Don't tell me you'll lose it, 'cause I'll have to leave
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
What do I have to give
Until you let me live?
You're all that I work for but that's not enough
Do I have to die too to show you my stuff?
Well, I give you my best
So, why don't you understand?
I'm passing the biggest test
So, don't cry, lend a hand
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
[Solo: (Left: Eddie), (Right: Jay Jay)]
Head held high, heart in hand
Flesh and blood, make a man
If that disappoints you, well, what can I say?
I don't want you to hurt, I just want to play
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, no, don't let me
Don't let me down, no
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, no, no, no, no
Don't let me down, no
8. The Beast
You can hear the thunder long before the storm
But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey
He's moving like a shadow, creeping up on you
And like a siren's call he's gonna have his way
You'd better run, forget your pride
Don't make a stand, just step aside
If you don't have what it takes, don't try to play, you'll lose your stakes
Remember this at least
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
You won't hear a footstep comin' up on you
Movin' like a snake he's in complete control
This killer knows his business, he is the predator
You are his only target, you're his only goal
What will you say, what will you do?
Your wildest nightmare's comin' true
There is nothing you can say, no way to change, he won't delay
This cain will have his feast
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
[Solo: Eddie]
If you play you're bound to lose, don't roll the dice, don't turn the screw
Just listen to the priest
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
9. SMF
Black sheep of the family, nothing like the rest
Separate from the others, failing all their tests
Can't they see you're different, so hungry and so lean
You're a walking wonder, you're a metal machine
Look and you'll see you're a lot like me
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.-M.-F.
Caught up in their worries and tomorrow's dream
Missing all the living, milk without the cream
They think you're so foolish, living for today
Caring just what you think, not what others say
Join with us, oh, how they'll scream and fuss
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.-M.-F.
[Solo: Jay Jay]
We're the ones that live it, we're all really free
And if they think that we're sick then sick is what we'll be
Scream it loud, Know what you are, be proud
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.-M.-F.
10. Never Say Never
Hello, it's me again, the thing that wouldn't die
You thought you had me beaten, now you can't deny
Never woman fire and it's hard inside to burn
They see light up there and lyin' they take the turn
No no no never, no never
No never say never again
Why did you waste your time on those who don't deserve
No nothing flow or sail or get your body there
Wanna let you lookin' at the infiltrated bush
I've got two words for you that can't be misunderstood
Hey, you think you never thought you'd had to face the noise
And nice played back up friend was singin' all the voice
And now you're prayin' you'd got free and you'll not fail
But you'll be goin' to the steamin' iron hell
11. Blastin' Fast And Loud
We're on a roll, won't be denied
We've been to hell with back up metal as we tried
We're drivin' hard the diamond class
This is our final road to work will be the last
We're blastin', fast and loud
Blastin', fast and loud
And we're gonna sing it loud, yeah, we're gonna sing it proud
Blastin', fast and loud
Some things in life you got to choose
Like are you born to win or are you born to lose
You've got one chance, don't let it go
Let total combination be your final core
Well, we're on a roll, won't be denied
We've been to hell with back up metal as we tried
We're drivin' hard the diamond class
This is our final road to work will be the last
We're blastin', fast and loud
Blastin', fast and loud
Yeah, we're gonna sing it loud, yeah, we're gonna scream it proud
Blastin', fast and loud
Yeah, we're gonna sing it loud, yeah, we're gonna scream it proud
Blastin', fast and loud
12. Come Back
One, two, three, four
Well, after all the times we met, you said I never was your man
And though I tried hard to forget, I never quite could understand
And when I finally realize all the things you meant to me
You were gone away, leaving everything to me
So would you come back, would you come back to me
So would you come back, you mean everything to me
So would you come back, would you come back to me
Walkin' back the games we played, opening up those unlocked doors
Remembering all the love we made, always wanted to make more
And if I had it all again, I'd do it all again for free
'Cause now you've gone away, now there's nothing left for me
So would you come back, would you come back to me
So would you come back, you mean everything to me
So would you come back, would you come back to me
You stupid fool, look what you've done, now I'm alone
Now I'm the one, you didn't care but only lied, so here I stand
And now I'm cryin', oh come back, come back to me
Come back, come, come back to me, oh yeah
And as the hours turn to years, I sit here thinking of the days
I wish to wipe away the tears and all the things I want to say
And as I finally dry my eyes and as I turn to walk away
I took my head up to the sky, fell then upon my knees and pray
So would you come back, would you come back to me
So would you come back, you mean everything to me
So would you come back, so would you come back to me
So would you come back, so would you come back to me, yeah
So would you come back, you mean everything to me, yeah
Would you come back, would you come back to me
Oh, would you come back, would you, would you come back to me
Oh, na na na na, oh, na na na, yeah
Oh, would you come back, would you, would you come back to... me, yeah
13. Plastic Money
I'm livin' on the edge, I'm pushin' all the way
Don't worry 'bout a thing, some other sunny day
My feet ain't touchin' ground and I'm runnin' hard and fast
I'm pullin' all the strings and I'm sayin' it's the last
Take away my plastic money
Keep away from plastic money
Well, don't you play with plastic money
All you pay, oh that's the way, with plastic money
I'm playin' with everythin' and I'm lookin' all around
I just can't understand but this is what I've found
Capitalistically you touch your gates of mind
A computerized assault but who commits the crime
Take away my plastic money
Keep away from plastic money
Don't you play with plastic money
All you pay, oh that's the way with plastic money
They blow away your dreams with a single decimal point
If you fight the powers that be, you'll wind up in the joint
I just begin to see as the Antichrist arrives
Where we're headed for as we charge away our lives
Take away my plastic money
Keep away from plastic money
Well, don't you play with plastic money
All you pay, oh that's the way with plastic money
Oh honey, plastic money
14. You Know I Cry
So many times you move me
When I know you really care
When I'm with you things are all right
I know that you'll be there
But I can't let you walk out that door
I can't let you just say goodbye
And I can't let you walk out that door
I can't let you, you know I cry, I cry
I waited for a lifetime
For what I got today
Don't change mind late at night time
Don't throw it all away
But I can't let you walk out that door
I can't let you just say goodbye
And I can't let you walk out that door
I can't let you, you know I cry, I cry
The years we spent together feel done right from the start
Now I won't just change a minute, I've torn it all apart
I find it hard to hold it, hour makes it how I feel
I wanted just to hold you, so corny isn't real
But I can't let you walk out that door
I can't let you just say goodbye
And I can't let you walk out that door
I can't let you, you know I cry, I cry
15. Rock 'N' Roll Saviors
We're fighting for the rockers, for workers and the poor
To lonely we are gaining, we're furthering our course
Disco is slowly dying, we're settling off the score
We're the rock 'n' roll saviors
Rock 'n' roll we will defend
We're the rock 'n' roll saviors
We're goin' to fight with all of our might 'til disco is dead
Those discos think they've got us, we've only just begun
Oh, we will go on fighting 'til they're dead and we have won
Winning many battles, we haven't won the war
We're marching off to beat them with the rock 'n' roll for anymore
We're the rock 'n' roll saviors
Rock 'n' roll we will defend
We're the rock 'n' roll saviors
We're goin' to fight with all of our might 'til disco is dead
Let's go!
Rock will live forever but disco is gonna die
We have got the power, they won't stop us, let 'em try
'Cause we have come to save you, so listen when I say
Rock will live tomorrow but disco dies today
We're the rock 'n' roll saviors
Rock 'n' roll we will defend
We're the rock 'n' roll saviors
We're goin' to fight with all of our might 'til disco is dead
'Til disco is dead, you know it's dead, you're dead, dead, dead
Well all right, well all right, well all right
'Til disco is dead, it's so dead, you know it's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
Come along, come along, come along, right now, right now, right now
'Til disco is dead, you know it's dead, honey it's dead, dead, dead
Well all right, well all right, oh
16. Heroes Are Hard To Find
Heroes are hard to find
Alright
Listen
Everybody says they wanna change the world
Everybody's got a banner to unfurl
Man, woman, boy and girl
On the corner down the road and up the block
There's somebody who needs all what you've got
And they ain't asking for a lot
Well, God knows you can hear the people praying
You know you can turn away, you gotta give it a shot
Heroes are hard to find, won't someone take the time
Heroes are hard to find, we need you, come on and try
Heroes are hard to find, you've got to cross that line
Heroes are hard to find
In the movies, in the news or on TV
All the heroes seem so different but you see
They're the same as you and me
It don't matter who you are or what you've done
You don't need to have a badge or knife or gun
You can be the chosen one
Well, God knows the world could use some saving
You know that we'll lose, you gotta give it a try
Heroes are hard to find, won't someone take the time
Heroes are hard to find, is it you, come on and try
Heroes are hard to find, you've got to cross that line
Heroes are hard to find, ow
[Solo: Eddie]
Oh yeah
Well, God knows you can hear the people praying
You know you can turn away, you gotta give it a shot
Heroes are hard to find, won't someone take the time
Heroes are hard to find, is it you, come on and try
Heroes are hard to find, you've got to walk that line
Heroes are hard to find
