Wake up kids
It's half past the youth
Nothing really changing but the date

You a grand slammer 
but you're no Babe Ruth 
You gotta learn how to relate 

I heard you swinging from the perly gate 
I got all answers low and behold 
You got the right key baby

(Tyler, Perry, Vallance)

Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin'
About all those things you said
About ordinary people
And how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you
Then I hope this does the trick

'Cause I'm a sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin'
Bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humour
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife

Eat the Rich
There's only one thing they're good for
Eat the Rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich
Take one bite now, spit out the rest

So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
Said you'd best go on a diet
Yeah I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst a bubble
On the rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
When you eats that kinda food
Now their smokin' up the junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' at the yacht club
With Muff and Uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine


Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no belly ache
From eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritence won't last
So take your Grey Poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass!

Eat the Rich
There's only one thing they're good for
Eat the Rich
Take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich
Don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
Eat the Rich

Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vein, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip rip

Once upon a crime I thought I was cool
but I don't want to brag
Once I crossed the line I think I musta
zigged when I shoulda zagged

Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vein, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Same old same old every day
if things don't change you're just gonna rot
Cause if you do what you've always done
you'll always get what you always got
Uh could that be nothin'

Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vein, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip, rip

Who knows for sure yeah without a doubt
What goes on when the lights go out
Or who pulls in when I pull out
And what's a one eyed trouser trout?

I was so short sighted
Now the wrong been righted
I feel so delighted
I get so excited
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vein, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip

You wanna get high in a New York minute
Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip
Your head gets dead, yea,
As long as you're in it
You wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip

Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't cha gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're living in the city

(Tyler, Perry)

I got a rip in my pants and a hole in my brand new shoes
I got a Margarita nose and a breath full of Mad Dog Booze

I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Yeah, they threw me outa jail I tell ya it ain't fair
I tried to kiss the judge from the electrica' chair
Yeah we're all here cause we're not all there tonight....

The guitar's cranked and the bass man's blown a fuse
And when the whole gang bangs tell me then what's you're excuse?

Fever gives ya lust with an appetite
It hits ya like the fangs from a rattlesnake bite
We're all here cause we're not all there tonight!

We can't run away from trouble
There ain't no place that far
But if we do it right at the speed of light
In the back seat of my car, caviar

I was feelin' so high I forgot what day
Now I'm feelin low down even slow seems way too fast
And now the booze don't work and the drugs ran out of gas
I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

The buzz that you be gettin' from the crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the crack of her ass
Yeah we're all here cause we're not all there tonight

My first time ever lover
We fell asleep out on the lawn
And when I woke up I was all alone
Makin' love to the Crack of Dawn
So yo, I beg yo pardon sir
The gangster of love rides again
I got the fever, fever, fever, fever

Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear
As long as I'm in heaven honey I don't care
You look so good baby look so fine
I tell you you're the image of the perfect crime
You gets so tired holdin' on so tight
If you think you're goin' crazy well you may be right

(Tyler, Perry, Hudson)

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't his
It shore ain't no surprise

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge

(Tyler, Perry, Child)

The day rolls in, the night rolls out
Desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast, you salivate
And when you come it won't be late
I guess by now you got the score
A little taste you want it more
From San Antonio to Marrakesh
Yeah when the night comes
Every body's gotta have FLESH
You got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat
From the day that Eve did Adam
Down to Romeo and Juliette
Everybody gotta have...

The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, this story's told
From modern times to days of old
From Boston Mass to Bangladesh
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody's gotta have FLESH
It's got me all soakin' wet
FLESH - the only thing that's worth the sweat, yeah
From the Mississippi River
To the highest mountain in Tibet

(Perry)

You wonder why you got holes in your shoes
You wonder why they got more money than you
You wonder why you got nothin' to lose
It makes no sense, don't try to figure it out
You gotta . . . walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Yeah, huh

Well, she says that she loves ya
In your mind there's no doubt, but
You feel like a stranger
When the lights go out
As you lie there awake
You think this ain't no gift
Don't try to figure that weight's too heavy to lift
You gotta . . . walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
'Cause I got no time to lose
It's my life if I choose
Put on my walkin' shoes

Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's

Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's

(Tyler, Perry, Shaw, Blades)

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance

Love has got me down
The weight is all around
So you lend a hand to peace on earth
Here's my piece, now what's it worth
Yea, but it's all right

When you can't define the crime
Then life ain't worth a dime
When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight

When you work your fingers to the bone
And what does that get you--NOTHING
If in a crowd of people
You're still alone
I hope that tells you something

The road to heaven is paved in hell
And it makes you wonder
Why you're here at all

Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress and she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can't do jack so shut up and dance!

Sex is like a gun
You aim, you shoot, you run
When you're splittin hairs with Mr. Clean
It' like gettin head from a guillotine

(Tyler, Perry, Rhodes)

When I was so brokenhearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned
Cause me and them ways have parted
That kinf of love was the killin' kind
Listen all I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know
By the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

Yeah now there's not even breathing room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same

It's down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you one thing
That's been on my mind, yeah I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You've got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street
Ist he devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do down to me

Cause what you've gone inside
Ain't where your love should stray
Yeah I know sweet love ain't love
Till you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' to let you
Do what you do

Down to me baby baby baby

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' to let you
Do what you do down to baby baby baby

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you

(Tyler, Perry, Hudson)

Any way you can feel it
You shouldn't try to conceal it baby
You got to make up your mind

Any way I can steal it
Any way you can deal it to me
You know the pleasure's all mine

You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n that's right

I wanna say you're a fire cracker
I wanna say you're a switch blade knife
You make your sex a career

Comin' down from an all night tripper
Pull your foot from the ruby slipper
'Cause you can't get there from here

You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,
round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n

I got this feeling deep inside my gut
Overwhelming feeling of I know not what
One thing's for sure I ain't got time for those who can't relate

You gotta learn to love the midnight madness
You gotta revel in the good and badness
If ying 'n yang is your thing

What I gotta do to try and reach ya
Is it for real or just a double feature (fee cha)
So let's go throw the I Ching

You gotta love it
You wanna own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it
You gotta make things happen
Goin' round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n, round'n,

(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Desmond Child)

C'mere baby
You know how to drive me up a wall
The way you make good
On all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we're makin' up
More than we're makin' love
And you always seem to got somethin'
On your mind other than me
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways
You hear me?
Say you're leavin' on the seven-thirty train
And that you're headin' out to Hollywood
Well girl you been givin' me that line
So many times
It kinda gets like feelin' bad looks good

Yeah that kind of lovin' turns a man into a slave
That kind of lovin' sends a man right to his grave

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
WHat can I do? Honey, I feel like the color blue

You're packin' up your stuff
And talkin' like it's tough
And tryin' to tell me that it's time to go
Yeah, but I know you ain't wearin' nothin'
Underneath that overcoat and it's all a show
That kind of lovin;
Makes me wanna pull down the shade
Yeah, that kind of lovin'
Yeah, now I'm never never never


I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
WHat can I do? Honey, I feel like the color blue

I'm losin' my mind
Girl, cause I'm goin' craaazy

I need your love, honey, oh yeah
I need your love

Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
I'm losin' my mind
Girl, cause I'm goin' craaazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
You turn it on, then you're gone

(Tyler, Perry, Kravitz)

(Steven Tyler, Richie Supa)

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
To see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was going insane
And tryin' to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah I thought I could leave
But couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of living a lie
And I was wishing that I
Would die

It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
Ooooh it's amazing
When the moment arrives
That you know you'll be all right
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
For the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's
A permanent vacation
And -ah- how high can you fly
With broken wings
Life's a journey, not a destination
And I just can't tell
Just what tomorrow brings


You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen
To all that rightous talk
Well I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
I was scratchin to stay alive


It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light
Ooooh it's amazing
When the moment arrives
That you know you'll be all right
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
