Atom bomb, TNT
New disease, poor city
Flying over Hiroshima, 1945
The city looks small from way up here
I wonder who'll survive

Atom bomb, TNT
New disease, poor city

I saw her today,
Oh God I miss her smile.
A pleasant memory
Of things in life worthwhile.

[Chorus:]
We used to walk and we used to talk
We used laugh and we used to cry

1,2,3,4,5,6,7, you won't see these kids in heaven colored hair and funny clothes they are the menace of today and they won't listen to what you say but don't forget that they're your future
[chorus:]
they're loud, they're obnoxious and proud they are conscious but don't forget that they're your future they're loud, they're obnoxious they're proud they are conscious but don't forget that they're your future these kids are accused for all the violence you can't even keep them silent you thought you had all the answers you won't be able to make them pay cause they're not gonna fade away don't forget that they're your future
[chorus]
don't forget they're your future and you thought you had all the answers

we met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold
the pastures were green
and the meadows were gold
our love was in flower
as summer grew on
her love like the leaves
now have withered and gone

You say you're down on your luck
hey baby, its a long, long way up
hold back now, hold back your fears
you say you're really down and out
and you feel like there's no way out now
let go now let go of your tears some more

How many times have you asked yourself

You say you’re down on your luck
Hey baby It’s a long, long way up
Hold back now, hold back your fears
You say you’re really down and out
And you feel like there’s no way out now
Let go now let go of your tears some more

How many times have you asked yourself?

Well I'm in another state, another state of mind,
I wish that I could be there right next to her
This road leads to this, this one leads to that,
Her voice sends shivers down my spine.

These scars in my flesh,
I'm bruised and I'm bloodied
Only she know the pain that I've been thru.

You are so plastic you could be a Barbie Doll.
You walk you talk just like them all.
And, Oh how I love those pretty little curls,
With shoes and skirts, who's the better girl?
Anti-Fashion take them off
Anti-Fashion
And where did you get those $100 pants?
You know I'd love to rip them up, to shreds

Some people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock 'n' roll,
you're always singin' the blues.
You gotta nasty disposition.
No one really knows the reason why,
You gotta bad bad reputation.
Gonna hang your head down and cry...

Take me down that line
Gonna tour that heavy load
I can't seam to make it
Make it on my own
Turn the lights down low now
Turn down our bed
I can't seam to get you out of my head

Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way

Yeah, loving
Over and over again now
It ain't nothing girl
Till you've felt the pain
Up against the wall
Why does love always have to hurt?
Your scratches run across my back
And then a tear

Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
The hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how

Death or glory becomes another story
Death or glory is just another story

Well I've been up yeah
And I've been down
Been kicked around yeah
This god-forsaken town.
So many faults, so little time.
I've gotta find a piece of mind. Peace of mind.

I was looking for somethin'

I know a girl who warns of the dangers of love
All the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings
She keeps herself in a world that’s protected
Her outsides are tough
But inside her heart longs to sing

Chorus:
Don’t let your walls down

With friends like you who needs enemies
You ain't right, you ain't never gonna be
You're out of the call, I'm afraid you've been declined
You shake my hand while you're pissin' on my leg
I'm cuttin' you loose, I don't need this misery
Your soul is toxic, you ain't no friend of mine

No!

I wake up; drink my coffee
Put on my pants and comb my hair
Today’s the day, I ain’t got nothing
I ain’t got nothing, I ain’t got a care

The sun is out; it’s shining bright
The birds are singing and the skies are blue
My motor runs a lover’s heartbeat

Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath
A sometimes painful past
Wanna go without a care
Pull gardenias from her hair
I think of a time we didn't have
A care in the world

It was a moonlight mishap
You lost your party hat
Seems your lifestyle ain’t so worthwhile after all
A heavy-hearted taxi ride
Then a walk on the wild side
Did your guardian angel let you down?
Gonna lay low and play it straight
It’s time to rejuvenate

Spent my whole life yeah lookin' for something
What it was I'm not really sure
I looked for happiness but only found sorrow
Then I realized how to unlock the door yeah yeah yeah

So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy maybe just for fools
Some say life is a struggle now it's a game now

ke a drive baby up the coast, yeah highway 101
I'll pass Ventura and Santa Barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs
Gotta pocket full of memories, some happy and some are sad
Gotta girl standing by my side through the good times and the bad.

Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain,
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains

An hour of anger an hour of love,
This hour of confusion as I look above.
Death life as I've never seen before,
One more trip like that I'm in the mental ward

[Chorus]
These sights sounds are all around me,
They grasp and they don't let go.

I wanted a vintage Harley
I wanted a house with a yard
I wanted a pocket full of money and
A wardrobe of clothes with style
My style

CHORUS
Because I want what I want

When I was young, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world, I was sure that I'd win
The world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone, so insecure, I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn't hear what they had to say

When I grow up, gonna be a star
Gonna sing my songs and play my guitar, im ready
gonna change the world, gonna turn the page
gonna say what i feel, let out this rage, get ready
we're going down, down to the streets below

gonna sing the songs of the streets again
gonna knock me off my feet so get ready

Last night a whore- found murdered in the streets
The skid row bums are just waking up
A politician, caught holding drugs
A friend who's left us in a suicidal way.

[chorus]
No-one said life would be easy,
Doesn't mean that much to me-

We're sitting here in this cell,
You know it's like a living hell.
Was what you did really a crime?
The judge says you have to serve time.

[Chorus]
It's the law, you're in jail.
It's the law that sets your bail.

We're sitting here in this hell
You know it's like a living hell
Was what you did really a crime?
The judge says you'll have to serve time

It's the law that you're in jail
It's the law that sets your bail
Don't bother to try and fight

I was born a king of fools most
People think I'm just a playboy
Breaking rules. But they don't
Know that when it comes around
To love I always lose why
I call myself the king of fools.
I was born never to care but
Now I want a love that I can

When pressures up and the stress is high
And I want to bid this world good bye
I'm gonna bury my frustrations
Grab some of life's satisfactions
Yeah I'm gonna live before I die

I try to find some peace of mind
When my life's treating me unkind

Well I hear that choo choo coming
Coming down those railroad tracks
It’s firebox is smoking, it’s engine is big and black
It’s a heading for the station, when it stops at the station door
I’m gonna board that old black choo choo
And I won’t be back no more

Well, it pulls a lot of coaches

I'm a counter-culture, sex avenging angel, looking at you
I'm an antisocial, pro-created being
I've got an aversion to the trends now, of mediocrity
please allow me this discourtesy

I'm a low-brow abrasious survivor, from your wicked past
I lurk the streets, late at night
Ain't got time for idle conversation, I'm the silent one

Well I’m a gangster 1934
Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores
And all you men, women and kids
best get out the way

I just left your town, took all your loot,
bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,
a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes

Mommy's little monster dropped out of school
Mommy's little monster broke all the rules
He loves to go out drinking with the boys
He loves to go out and make some noise
He doesn't wanna be a doctor
Or a lawyer getting fat and rich
He's 20 years old and he quit his job
Unemployment pays his rent

You beat us up when we're alone
Come back later and then you're gone
Now you're tucked away in your bed
And I've got stitches in my head

[Chorus]
'Cause you didn't like my looks
'Cause I'm not in the fashion books

I'm a Cadillac tramp at the end of his road
a swap meet rat who's sitting on gold, yeah baby
I'm a guitar gangster without a tune
I'm the baseball bat that's waiting to swing
Your loan shark friend with the broken knees
I'm a penthouse pauper with nothing to do

[Chorus:]

Well, I walked
Man, I walked
Through some pain today
Well, I guess today was my turn to hurt

Well, why not
You know I'm not any different
And no pain means no gain

When the cat's away, the mice will play
Beer and drugs and things to say to you, to you
Lots of girls and lots of boys
Loud music and all the toys we need,
We need

[Chorus]
We have to go

Here I come, I'm on a run
Who wants to fight temptation that's no fun
C'mon and play the games, don't you feel no shame
That's what Eve said to Adam before she came

chorus:
You can smile now cry later on
you know that it might be wrong

Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go
And come out even tougher
A place where a man don't show his feelings
A place where a man don't cry

Well, they say I'm bein' punished
And they say I can be reformed
But some day I'll return

When I was young I was invincible
I found myself not thinking twice
I never thought about no future
It's just a roll of the dice

But the day may come when you've got something to lose
And just when you think you're done paying dues
You say to yourself "My God What have I Done?"

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a firey ring
Bound by ones desire
I fell down into a ring of fire

Chrous:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher

Sometimes I like you and sometimes I don't,
I feel like I'm gonna and then I won't.
Sometimes I wanna live to see a hundred,
other times I wanna lay down and die.

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't

Well, I remember when we were young
And you said that I was done
Well, I walked the long boulevard
My head hanging down
And the word out on the street
I was back up on my feet
I was fighting the same old wars
Had to even up the score

High school seemed like such a blur,
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections.
And in class I dreamed all day,
Of a rock 'n' roll weekend

And the girl in the front of the room,
So close yet so far y'know she never seemed to ntice
That this silly schoolboy crush

Well I love the sound when I smash the glass,
If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass.
My mommy's worried about the way I drink,
My daddy can't figure out the way I think.
They wake me up, tell me, "get to work,"
I slam the door, say, "shut up you jerk."
I can't wait til the show tonite,
When I'm with my friends every things alright...

Through these eyes I've seen love and I've seen hate
I've seen the violence and the tears
Through these eyes
I got my schooling on the streets
I've seen the things in life
You don't wanna see

Through these eyes I've seen the shape of things to come

I'm heading down a lonely highway
I'm running down a one-way street
I wanna know are you going my way
is there some place quiet where we can meet
and friends they come and friends they go
but you were always by my side
And where it all ends I don't know
Don't cry no more just hold on tight

Well at last we meet again, dear God

when the angels sing

The funeral's are nicer, when we know you're there

when the angels sing

Winners and losers, turn the pages of my life
We're beggars and choosers, with all the struggles and the strife
I got no reason to turn my head and look the other way
We're good and we're evil, which one will I be today?

There's saints and sinners
Life's a gamble and you might lose
There's cowards and heroes

There was a time when you were proud
You looked up to me with big eyes
And I could do no wrong
There’s something inside
That’s clearly tearing both of us apart
Oh, there’s something inside

I wonder where you are tonight
