Rip it up

If you were in the movies who would you play?
If you were tried for murder what could you say?
And if you were out to lunch what would you eat?
We wanna know the answers, who do you want to beat?

Don't show your fear
You better keep it out of site
Don't lose your place in here
And you might be all right

Don't say nothing, shut your mouth
You're out of time, work it out
You're living in a cruel world
And your face is out of style
Boogey man, magic word
Walk a crooked mile

If you were Armageddon who would you spare?
If you were judge and jury why would you care?
And if you were out of breath how would you breathe?
The world deserves the answers, what do you have up your sleeve?

Can't show your hand
Remember what I say
Can't play that ace in here
Never see another day

Plead no contest, pass the buck
Running scared, you ain't so tough
We hold rehearsal for your death
We're tired of your smile
Boogey man, see what you get
Walk a crooked mile

Standing in the spotlight, what would you need?
If you were a soldier how would you bleed?
And if you were in the rain what would you wear?
We're hungry for the answers, don't seem right, but we don't care

Don't bring your friends
Send them all away
Don't meet your end in here
Don't throw your life away

Don't you change, don't drop your guard
Double bluff throw down your cards
Death has put his mark on you
Man and boy and child
Boogey man, back to start
Walk a crooked mile
In my shoes, babe

Hey babe, you gotta wake up now
I got something to say
The way I feel, I can't stay here
I gotta leave today
I can't stand to settle down
Gotta catch a ride
I gotta get outta here
Because I wanna be outside

You look just as good to me
And you ain't done nothing wrong
There's places that I gotta be
I been standing still too long
Baby, please don't be mad
you treated me real fine
Best thing I ever had
But I gotta move on, down the line

I gotta be in the wind
I want to see the sun
I know I can't be still no more
Not now the still has gone
I can't waste no more time
So I'll be on my way
You know I tried real hard
I tried so hard to stay here

I don't know what's wrong with me
I don't know what I'm running from
I got some other place to be
And I'm gonna try it on
Baby please don't be cold
You treated me real fine
You treated me like gold
But I gotta move on, down the line

Baby I gotta go
Swear I've got to move
Gotta take a gamble
Even though I'm born to lose
I'll pass this way again
See you by and by
I wish that I could stay
I wish that I was lying

You been real good to me
But it's time that I was gone
There's things you just can't see
And there's something going on

Baby please don't be sad
You treated me real fine
I know I must be mad
But I gotta move, I gotta move
Move on down the line

So this a new beginning as the new century dawns
The world's a better place for you and me
Shouldn't smoke or drink or watch that evil filthy porn
Be Christian and God will set you free
But being poor is worse than having AIDS
The homeless live in boxes at our feet
Living in a constant state of dull, frustrated rage
The innocent shot daily in the street

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

The government has always been you pal, as you well know
Absolute corrupted power play
If we all wipe each other out it only goes to show
While the bureaucrats get richer by the day
Smoking dope will get you more than murder one
And even worse than statutory rape
Don't understand your children so you send them all to jail
Believe me, you will never make a worse mistake

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

The government is coming and it wants to be your friend
It wants to show you how to be a snitch
Inform upon your children, the inevitable end
Is everyone's a victim but the filthy fucking rich
And religion, like the monster that it is
Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek
God is on your side but I don't think that you're on his
If Jesus showed up now he'd be in jail by next week

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

Where do all the dead men go from the battlefields?
Where are their exploded bones, their useless swords and shields?
In the Hall of Ancient gods, are they now at pieace?
Or are they fighting evermore to earn their last release?

Midgard, Heaven, Kingdom Come
Are they all the same?
Fallen heroes, warriors
The valiant, the slain
Did they believe or did they die in vain?

Immortal dead, brothers and sons
When all is said and all is done
Running for your life, dying for the cause
Pawns in the game, voices from the war

The men they march away to fight, their fate is never clean
They never all come home again to tell of what they've seen
In the battles bloody fury is the verdict just?
Executioner, judge and jury, forgotten in the dust

Valhalla, Happy hunting ground
Are they all the same?
Fallen heroes, warriors the valiant the slain
Did they believe or did they die ashamed

Immortal dead, brothers and sons
All is said, all is done
Fighting to the death, what did they do it for?
Soldiers of the cross, voices from the war

The battlefields are silent now, the graves all look the same
The crosses without number and so many without names
In the battles misery drowned in blood and fear.
A hundred, hundred, thousand for a hundred thousand years

Are they in a better place?
Or do they lie unclaimed?
The heroes, the deserters, the cowardly, the shamed
Did they know or did they die insane?

Mourn for the lost, Stolen from their lives
Gone before their time, no chance to say goodbye
Fighting to the death, how could they be so sure?
Voices from the grave, voices from the war
Voices from the war
Voices from the war

Good lookin' girl in the corner
She nice enough to eat
She look over and she smile a little
From her head to her feet
Over and over and over
Trying to catch her eye
If I don't do something, it'll come to nothing
Hate myself the rest of my life

Don't you accuse me honey
You know I feel just fine
I know you know that I know
Oh Yeah, I know you're mine, all mine

Girl was looking me over
Just checking me out
Looked me in the eye and I was like to die
Knew what I was all about
Tell me, tell me, please tell me
Tell me what you're gonna say
If you don't say yes, I'm gonna be depressed
Sure hope I'm doing ok

You can't accuse me honey
Talking dirty ain't no crime
I know you know and you know that I know
Oh Yeah, I know you're mine all mine

Said she was thinking it over
She got a look in her eye
Told me her name, expected the same
And so I told her mine
Forever and ever and ever
I swear I ain't no liar
Gonna be your man
And you'll be glad that I am
Burn you in sexual fire

You can't refuse me honey
Gonna get along just fine
I know you know and I know where you go
Oh Yeah, I know you're mine all mine

You been around the world
You think the world is yours
All right, you been up all night
So why can't you get it right?
No chance (say what?)
No dance for you (no shit)
No teenage romance (chill out)
Out of the mix, out of the mix

Ain't no way out, your momma was right
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth

You weren't home last night,
You don't come home no more
Gotta be fair, your don't say where
You don't know, nobody cares
No chance (say what?)
No dance for you (no shit)
No teenage romance (chill out)
Better be quick, better be quick

Ain't no way out, your momma was right
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth

Guitar

Can you tell me the truth?
Can it get much worse?
Don't tell me no lies, 'cos I can read your eyes.
You're everything that we despise,
No chance (say what?)
No dance for you (no shit)
No teenage romance (chill out)
None of your tricks, none of your tricks

Ain't no way out, your momma was right
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth

Out of the way, you're in the lost and found
Been a long time waiting 'til we hit the ground
See the fool, loose it all
Ain't no lifetime long enough to use it all
They say it's here tomorrow, gone today
Tell the judge its my way or the highway
And in the end it's all the same

You got to move, momma didn't raise no fools
You got to fight, live or die shoot out your lights
Pass the word
Save yourself and kill the world
Save yourself and kill the world

We got to get you home because you're burned out,
Didn't take too long before we found it out
See the drowned, drink it all
Ain't no ocean deep enough to sink it all
They say it's here right now and gone before
Tell the hard we're harder than a hardcore
And in the end it's all a game

You got to move, momma didn't raise no fools
You got to fight, live or die shoot out the lights
Pass the word
Save yourself and kill the world
Save yourself and kill the world

So now you're back, I hope you know your place
Didn't take too long to get in your face
See the burned, light your fire
Ain't no Hell that burns enough for my desire
You say its blasphemy, that's too bad
Could have been the best time that you ever had
And in the end the hungry flames

You got to move, momma didn't raise no fools
You got to fight, live or die shoot out the lights
Pass the word
Save yourself and kill the world
Save yourself and kill the world

Working the room with her cat clothes on
Messing up my mind
Mouth just made for kissing
Says a good man's hard to find
I'm just hangin', standin' there
Can't believe my eyes
She looks so fine and she smiles so kind
Make a strong man cry

She does me in and she'll do you too
She only got to shake it
And I'm shaking in my shoes

You know she's a natural woman
You know she likes that fine
You know she's a total killer
And she ain't even trying
I want her so bad I get shivers
If I can't see her enough
She asked my name, I said "Honey,
My name is Doctor Love"

Sat down by me and I told her
She's like to drive me blind
She smiled like a hungry tiger
Said a hard man is good to find
I just stood there helpless
Wondering what I should do
She said "Come on honey, show me your money
Ain't got no time to lose".

She does me in, and she'll do you to
She only has to shake it
And she shakes me in my shoes

You know she's a lovely lady
She ain't no easy girl
She make me wanna love her long time
To make her toenails curl

I want her so bad I go crazy
If she don't love me enough
I need to examine her stamina
'Cause my name is Doctor Love.

She got no human pity
She don't care who she hurts
The face of an evil angel
Says a hard man makes her worse
I want to drive her crazy
Get her in her in between
But she makes it awful hard
If you see what I mean

She does me in, and she'll do you too
She only got to shake it
And I'm shaking in my shoes

You know she's a classic beauty
She don't want to fight
She wants a man who's standing tall
And stood up all right
I want her so bad I get crazy
If she don't call me up
She said, "Honey, do you want me to call you?"
I said "Just call me Doctor Love"

All men know what waits for us
Wooden box, worm and dust
Maybe Heaven, pearly gates
Hasty prayer when it's too late
Burn in hell, all is lost
Purgatory, fingers crossed
Which or Who, yours or mine?
Eternity's a long, long time

Never mind, never fail
Right this time, on the nail
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
No remorse, no remorse, no remorse, no remorse

You know it well, confess it now
Christian guilt is what's allowed
Other words are heresy
Burn forever, 1, 2, 3
What can you do? No guarantees
Hopeful begging on your knees
All in all you're going down
Winged sinner or singed clown

Never mind, never fail
Right this time, on the nail
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
No remorse, no remorse, no remorse, no remorse

Repent ye fool, God will hear
Christmas carol, midnight clear
Otherwise pits of fire
Punishment for base desire
Satan waits, goatee beard
Long old tail, nasty spear
If you believe these tales they tell
Then you deserve to burn in Hell

Never mind, never fail
Right this time, on the nail
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
No remorse, no remorse, no remorse, no remorse

Monster in the moonlight, devils in his head
How can they shout so loud?
Tonight is his to take nobody knows his face
Something he will not allow
Unseen, wet dream, steel claw
Moonshine, carmine, red raw

Horror in the starlight, faces in the rain
Killer want to fall in love
Worms in his mind, ravenous and blind
Now he starts to feel good.

All blood is his to drink
He takes his fill and more
Face and hands all red
Drown in sweet, sweet gore
Joy is his tonight
He bathes in red delight
And all he wants to do
Is more and more and more

Terror without pity, fever in his mind
Death, confusion, love and blood
Looking for a perfect one, seek and ye shall find
Crazy and he feels good
Unseen, wet dream, sharp claw
Moonshine, carmine, red raw.

Monster in the gaslight, shivers in the cold
Looking for a bad girl
Whimpering and mad, but he ain't feeling bad
Crazy in his own world

All blood is his to drink
He takes his fill and more
Face and hands all red
Drown in sweet, sweet gore
Joy is his tonight
He bathes in red delight
And all he wants to do
Is more and more and more

Horror in the shadows, red and white and dead
Rain is falling in her hair
Now what he loves best., head down to the wounds
Face a scarlet nightmare
Unseen, wet dream, skin crawl
Blade shine, carmine, red raw.

Outrage in the twilight, women run and scream
Killer's gone a long time
Red mouth turning grim, see the shape he's in
This is what he's born for

All blood is his to drink
He takes his fill and more
Face and hands all red
Drown in sweet, sweet gore
Joy is his tonight
He bathes in red delight
And all he wants to do
Is more and more and more

I am the serial killer
I am the bloody hand
I am the chief whore taker
I am the chosen one

I am the red staight razor
The one who bathes in blood
I am the boogey-man
I am the empty yawning hood,
Look not for pity, no
I am the heartless man
I come to fix all things
I am the one man band

You cannot yet imagine
How you will dance for me
But you will dance forever
To the tune that I decree
The kingdom of the worm
Is all things to us all
But I will teach you many things
Before I let you fall

I am the black dead nightmare
I bring a light so bright
To illuminate the path we take
I show the way that all hearts break
And I will see the old world's back be broken
As we descend into the awful
Howling
Night

Time to play the game!
Time to play the game!
(weird laughing)

(laughing)

It's all about the game
And how you play it
All about control
And if you can take it
All about ya debt
And if you can pay it
It's all about pain
And who gonna make it

I am the game
You don't wanna play me
I am control
No way you can shake me
I am heavy debt
No way you can pay me
I am the pain
And I know you can't take me

Look ova ya shoulda
Ready to run
Like a good little bitch
From a smokin' gun
I am the game
And I made the rules
So, move on out
Or, you can die like the fool
Try to figure out what the move's gonna be
Come on over, sucka
Why don't you ask me
Don't you forget there's a price you can pay
Cause I am the game and I want ta play

Time to play the game

(laughing)

Time to play the game!

It's all about the game
And how you play it
It's all about control
And if you can take it
It's all about ya debts
And if ya can pay it
It's all about the pain
And who gonna make it

I am the game
You don't wanna play me
I am control
There's no way you can shake me
I am your debt
And I know you can't pay me
I am your pain
And I know you can't take me

You're gonna change ya name
You're gonna die in flames

(laughing)

(laughing)

Time to play the game!

(weird laughing)

I know you're only talking
To keep the silence out
Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt
You're just handing out bad reputations
Why don't you shut your mouth
chorus:
Overnight sensation,
All mouth and no soul
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

I know I ain't no beauty
But I know who I am
I ain't running for sheriff
I ain't that kind of man
To live outside the law , my dear
You gotta give a damn

chorus:
Overnight sensation
You be shot full of holes
The bad boys stole your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You know you put the hurt on me
You do it all the same
Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all
Our faces fit the frame

You know I'm only talking
To keep you here with me
Maybe you should listen
How hard could it be
Good manners don't cost nothing
But that ain't what you want from me

chorus:
Overnight sensation
Turn your hard heart cold
The bad boys sold your franchise
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll

You're just looking for someone
To take your spirit home
The bad boys sold your franchise, baby
And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
