Don't know what I did to make you feel that way
I can't always say just what I want to say
I'm out of place again, you're on my case again
Bringing up the past and sling it in my face again
Put me in the frame
So even if I win I lose
Going down slow ain't the only way to go
Listen to me honey, gonna tell you something funny
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues
Seems to me the good times ended way to soon
Seems like faded echoes in an empty room
Strangers in the night, strangers in the light
Seems like every word we say just makes us scratch and bite
You thought we had the answers
We were sure we couldn't lose
What you want from me is all the things that I can't be
Listen to me baby, I'm beginning to go crazy
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues
More I think about it, it's a goddamn shame
Opposites attract 'til they become the same
Daggers in our eyes, time to say goodbye
Time to stop pretending, time to stop the endless lies
I wish you luck, babe
I hope you find a dream and it comes true
What my eyes can't see don't make no difference to me
Listen to me faking, even though my heart is breaking,
Miss you now you're gone, now I'm the one to sing the blues

I make love to mountain lions,
Sleep on red-hot branding irons.
When I walk the roadway shakes,
Bed's a mess of rattlesnakes.
Voodoo child, black cat bone,
Scratch your back, hear you moan.
I get up, you go down,
Tall building, single bound
War and peace and love,
Say it if you dare.
Iron fist, velvet glove,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care!
Black-hearted to the bone,
Older than The Rolling Stones.
Been to heaven, been to hell,
Bought the farm, and I won't sell.
Give and take, rise and fall,
Rise up and take it all.
Secret love, I won't tell,
Knock you up and ring your bell.
Kiss the whip, eat the gun,
Tell me it ain't fair.
Midnight victim, hit and run,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care!
I make the blind to see,
Shoot 'em full of R and B.
I make the lame to walk,
Come round and pop your cork.
Wham, bam, thank you ma'am,
Thought I heard the back door slam.
Overkill, walk the line,
Kill the lights, it's lampshade time,
On the road,on the lam,
People running scared,
I'm everything they say I am,
I'm so bad, baby I don't care!

Nobody gives a damn about anybody else,
Think everyone should feel the way they fell themselves,
Rich men think that happiness is a million dollar bills,
So how come most of them O. D. on sleeping pills,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, you all know what I mean,
What's the use of a cry for help, if no one hears the scream,
No one hears the scream,
No voices in the sky, confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky,
The ones who dedicate the flags to make you brave,
They also consecrate the headstone on your grave,
Ritual remembrance when no one knows your name,
Don't help a single widow learn to foght the pain,
Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
T.V. preachers sell salvation for a buck,
You don't need no golden cross, to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Here we go again on a 737
Looking at the clouds from the other side of heaven
Smokin' and a-drinkin', never gonna stop
Reading magazines stop me lookin' at the clock
Want to watch the movie, can't sit still
Flying down to Rio, Going to Brazil
Watching all the road crew attacking little girls
Joined the mile high club going 'round the world
All the booze is free, airline going broke
Here come the lady with another Jack and Coke
Want to watch the movie, can't sit still
Flying down to Rio, Going to Brazil
Steve, Clem, Hobbsy, John, Crazy Dil, and Pappy
Had to travel second class, they ain't too fucking happy
Elevator music is butter in my ears
Think we're going to die, just the pilot changing gears
Want to watch the movie, can't sit still
Flying down to Rio, Going to Brazil

Lie back and dream of me
Red death to set you free
We turn the screws to make you die
Soft flesh and razor blades
Golgotha, ace of spades
Steel needles kiss your pretty eyes
All mine, all mine
Black night, moonshine
All mine, all mine
Nightmare, the dreamtime
Black terror stalks the night
Claws to clutch and fangs to bite
A dark and faceless crawling fear
Despair, you can't resist
Now fear the lizard's kiss
The reptile hisses in your ear
All mine, all mine
Black night, moonshine
All mine, all mine
Nightmare, the dreamtime
Dead voices speak through me
Of things that should not be
The prince of wounds, the lord of flies
Evil within ourselves
We need nobody else
We tell ourselves the best of lies
All mine, all mine
Black night, moonshine
All mine, all mine
Nightmare, the dreamtime
Nightmare, the dreamtime

Love me forever or not at all
End of our tether, backs to the wall
Give me your hand, don't you ever ask why
Promise me nothing, live 'til we die
Everything changes, it all stays the same
Everyone guilty, no one to blame
Every way out, brings you back to the start
Everyone dies to break somebody's heart
We are the system, we are the law
We are corruption, worm in the core
One of another, laugh 'til you cry
Faith to death or a knife in your eye
Everything changes, it all stays the same
Everyone guilty, no one to blame
Every way out takes you back to the start
Everyone dies to break somebody's heart
Oh my love's heart
Come back to me
Love me or leave me, tell me no lies
Ask me no questions, send me no spies
You know love's a thief, steal your heart in the night
Slip through your fingers, best hold on tight
Everything changes, it all stays the same
Everyone guilty, no one to blame
Every way out brings you back to the start
Everyone dies to break somebody's heart
Oh my love's heart
Come back to me
. . .

I wanna grow my hair, live in Bel Air
Lose my head, keep a live snake in my bed
I wanna backstage pass, drink Bon Jovi's booze for free
I wanna be a star and buy a hundred guitars
Eat everything I can bite
I wanna feel a little danger, feel a little stranger
Angel City tonight
I got a buncha boys, we make a lot of noise
Little bit crazy, playing with chemical toys
We're such bad ass dudes
Almost can't stand it myself
I wanna get the crabs in my elegant rags
Make my mom and daddy uptight
I wanna be an intellectual heterosexual
Angel City tonight
I'm gonna live in L.A. drinkin' all day
Lay by the pool and let the record company pay
Talking to the devil on the batphone all of the time
I'm gonna kick ass, I'm gonna spit broken glass
I'm gonna shoot out all of your lights
I wanna eat dirt, I'm gonna eat my own shirt
Angel City tonight
Angel City, Angel City, the way I'm used is a shame and a pity
Angel City, Angel City, rock 'n' roll alright
Angel City, Angel City, the women here ain't got no pity
Angel City, Angel City, shape up and fly right
. . .

Listen up babe, you're no fool
I wish I walked you home from school
Dream lover, head to tail
Coulda put a lot of boys in jail
Tell you what, you're red hot
Let's go do it in the parking lot
I mean every word I say
I wish you'd stay
Stay mean, stay clean
Don't ever ask me where I've been
Shine a light on me
Come on babe, set me free
Don't go 'way
please please stay
Roll over and make my day
Shine a light on me
Come on babe, set me free,
Don't go 'way
Please please stay
Roll over and make my day
You're so bad honey, you're so tough
Skin so smooth, but your tongue's so rough
Crazy mama, turn me down
Watch out ‘cause I'll be 'round,
You're so bad, I'm so glad
Best woman that I ever had
I mean every single word and I hope you heard
I'm the one, to turn you on
Stick with me, and you can't go wrong
Shine a light on me
Come on babe, set me free
Don't go 'way please please stay
Roll over and make my day
Shine a light on me
Come on babe, set me free,
Don't go 'way please please stay
Roll over and make my day
Be the one you want to be
Don't go anyplace far from me
Touch me there, show you care
Can't scare you if you can't be scared
Know you, know it's true
Be alright if you know me too
I mean every word you hear and I hope it's clear
‘Cause if you go, hope you know
You ain't gonna see the sun no more
Shine a light on me, come on babe, set me free
Don't go away please please stay
Roll over and make my day
Shine a light on me, come on babe, set me free
Don't go away please please stay
Roll over and make my day
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
Shine a light on me
And set me free
Don't you go away

New York City, N.Y.C.,
Pretty mean when it wants to be,
Black leather, knee-hole pants,
Can't play no high school dance,
Fuzz tone, hear 'em go,
Hear 'em on the radio,
Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, R-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES!
Bad boy rock, bad boy roll,
Gabba gabba, see them go,
C. Jay now hit the gas,
Hear Marky kick some ass,
Go Johnny, go, go, go, go
Tommy o-way-o,
Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, R-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES!
Bad boys then, bad boys now,
Good buddies, mau, mau, mau,
Keep it up, rock 'n' roll,
Good music save your soul,
Dee Dee, he left home,
Joey call me on the phone.
Misfits, twilight zone,
R-A-M-O-N-E-S, R-A-M-O-N-E-S
RAMONES!

Pack my bags and leave today
You read this I'll be far away
Ain't gonna give ya no moon in June
Never see you it'll be too soon
One eyed Jack, gotta watch my back
See you 'round
Guess I better Shut you down
Shut you down, Shut you down
Steal your thunder, turn you round
Listen up 'cos I'm telling you,
The magic moments were way too few
I'd like to stay, but you got too weird
Don't look right since you grew that beard
One eyed Jack, gotta watch my back
See you 'round
Guess I better Shut you down
Shut you down, Shut you down
Steal your thunder, turn you round
Tell you, babe, what I'm gonna do
Leave this town and I'll leave you too
Don't wanna see your face no more
Don't come 'round knocking at my door
One eyed Jack, gotta watch my back
See you 'round
Guess I better shut you down
Shut you down, shut you down
Steal your thunder and turn you round
. . .

Sixteen years old
when I went to the war
To fight for a land fit for heroes
God on my side
and a gun in my hand
Chasing my days down to zero
And I marched, and I fought
And I bled, and I died
And I never did get any older
But I knew at the time
That a year in the line
Was a long enough life for a soldier
We all volunteered
And we wrote down our names
And we added two years to our ages
Eager for life
And ahead of the game
Ready for history's pages
And we brawled, and we fought
And we hoped to be stuped
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder
At thirst for the Hun
We were food for the gun
And that's what you are when you're soldiers
I heard my friend cry
As he sank to his knees
Coughing blood as he screemed for his mother
And I fell by his side
And that's how we died
Clinging like kids to each other
And I lay in the mud, and the guts and the blood
And I wept as his body grew colder
And I called for my mother, but she never came
Though it wasn't my fault, and I wasn't to blame
The day not half over, and ten thousand slain
And now there's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is
For each soldier
. . .
