1. Euthanasia
One, two, three, four, Euthanasia OK
Kill 'em off if you can
The gas is nice, but the needle's better,
Grandma.
Oh yeah Euthanasia OK,
All the way, Euthanasia.
Come on oldies it's your momentous day
To be murdered in this way.
You could only life for 30 years more,
So what reason have you got to stay.
Come into the chamber, it's really clean.
You won't catch any disease,
Oh Gran, we're not that mean.
Forgive us but you will have to pay,
Riding on our backs 60 years of the way.
Now close your eyes and hold your breath.
Open the gates, this is your final day.
2. Slave To Freedom
You shout about your freedom,
You bleed for weak and poor
Pouring out your conscience
Of which you're really sure
But who will save democracy
When all the killing's done?
Certainly not you with your
Bombs and knives and guns
Slave to freedom
The bodies of the fallen will be your epitaph
You may not laugh the longest,
But you will not laugh the last
And who will save democracy
When all the killing's done?
Certainly not you with your
Bombs and knives and guns
Slave to freedom - your rules are nearly through
Slave to freedom - you shout for you and you
You shout about the innocent
But your guilt is plain to see
The money's in your pocket
When the headcounting is through
3. Don't Touch Me There
Went down the beach a little girl there
Hey babe I could make you care
Don't say that to me I'm a lovin' man
Got a little girl who's the apple of my eye
Don't touch me, touch me there
Don't touch me, touch me there
Don't touch me, touch me there
Don't touch me, unless you really care
Hey babe come to my place for a while
Oh honey I could make you smile
Don't say that to me I'm a loving man
Got a little girl who's the apple of my eye
4. Money
Walk a mile in my shoes,
You won't know what hit you
Wasn't born with a silver spoon
Take no ride on a fat man's tomb
Babe I need the money too
Hey, come over here you
Now I've got money for you
Do you believe that's true?
Now I've got money in the bank
Ah well, that's a prank
And I've got money for two
Do you believe that's true?
I don't know where I come from,
But I sure know where I belong
Gonna set up business by myself -
Tie my pants with a rich man's belt
Now, you say you want a man with a buck
Well, personally babe, I don't give a fuck
Walk a mile in my shoes
You won't know what hit you
5. Killers
A pall of dust rises from the east
Four riders approaching - horses underneath
Each man has his hand on his gun
As the sleeping village rose to meet the sun
Don't want those kids in this place
What they have done is a disgrace
Too much evil in their eyes
Shoot first, then ask why
Black Jack Tillin' was looking for killing
Quick draw McGraw was ready to draw
And nobody stood a chance
As the undertaker took his stance
Don't want those killers in this town
Death and destruction all around
Too much evil in their eyes
Shoot first and then ask why
The man in black pointed his gun to the corner
And smiled for the parents who would mourn her
The Killer rode out of town
Their murdered victims twisted on the ground
6. Fireclown
Beneath the city in caves of steel,
His eyes wide open with madman's zeal
Reborn the fire to life's ordeals
Reborn the fire to life's ordeals
See his eyes they tell no lies
See his eyes he's going to die
His mind's on fire, his suit is warm
His brain is boiling, his life is torn
The heart of the sunrise is drawing him on
The soul of the universe is drawing him on
His mind is wandering, there's no time left
The heart of the future will soon oppress
His thoughts of home and happiness
His thoughts of home and happiness
7. Wild Catz
Riding down the freeway on my 750/4
I'm gonna get some action
Gonna get some more
Wild Catz, are we
Wild Catz, motorbikin' free
Thunder and lightning may strike twice
But when you're on your motorcycle
Ooh-it's so nice
Wine and Women, who needs much more
We sacrifice nothing
You know only the whores
8. Suzie Smiled
She wanted to see the lights of the city
She wanted to see them shine
She wanted to ride in a big fast care
But she didn't want to ride in mine
Down the city after midnight
The lights don't shine so bright
Strange men walk the streets of Soho
The breathing space is tight
Suzie smiled, I'm coming home
Yes, I'm coming home
Suzie smiled, I'm coming home
Coming home
She's not the type to easily be changed
She's changed herself you see
Her face, her soul, her mind, her heart
Will always belong to me
If she's passing by your way
Stop her and say hello
Tell her I don't think of her
Except in my dreams, you know
9. Badger Badger
Running from place to place
Trying to beat the human race
The police, the rates, the tax, the rent
Running 'cause you know he's bent
Badger Badger, Badger Badger, Badger Badger
Your life's the spot
You cop the lot
Your life's so hot
If there's a deal, a gamble, or bet
The badger will put you in his debt
Wanting, willing, waiting for you
He says something - you know it's true
In a back bar or a smoky saloon
Play blackjack will be your doom
A badger's quick, he's very clever
You'll never win, he'll win forever
10. Insanity
I walk around this place each day
See those kids, what do they say
The air is empty - I'm left alone
They speak to me in this accusing tone
Insanity
Clouds part and I can see the sky
The wind rushes through my mind
Will they take me? Will I be known?
Forever you'll be banished I hear one moan
Insanity
I know you're there in a space in time
I see its life evolve like mine
Although we're gone, when I dream I find
In the end we'll all be caught by time
