Motörhead Album

How we are ain't how we were
Innocence is for the birds
Now we are poison and we don't care
We have no shame, we strip you bare
And you so precious, lost in smoke
Too busy laughing to see the joke

Nobody knows if you won or you lost
Into the palace or up on the cross
Into the gravy or into the ground
We just don't want you around
Sucker

What we want ain't what we get
Rags to riches ain't workin' yet
For we are monsters, we love our work
Raise your voice, you bite the dirt
And you so patient, lost in dreams
Too busy crying to hear the screams

Nobody cares if you lost or you won
In with the girlies or under the gun
Into the sunshine or under the blade
We're gonna dance on your grave
Sucker

What we do is break the law
We tasted blood and we want more
For we are murder, we like it fine
No quarter, we draw the line
And you so gracious, lost in time
Too busy killing to see the crime

Love it or hate it you're gonna pay
All of us here gonna ruin your day
Into the palace or into the pit
We think you're just full of shit

Nobody cares if you're in or you're out
We're gonna give you a smack in the mouth
Whether you go or whether you stay
I guess it just ain't your day
Sucker

One lucky devil that's me
You're gonna be my brand new rose
Don't you look good, I swear honey
Show it wherever you go
Talking, looking, thinking
Keep me happy all day
Love me tender, let me remember
When I get old and grey

Love at first sight
Love with a travelling man
I been a slut all my life
Wish every night was a one-night stand

You got a beautiful smile
The story of my poor life
One look's worth a thousand words
And that's the truth alright
Moving, touching, breathing
Just trying to make some time
Loving you honey, don't want your money
Either your place or mine

Love at first sight
Love with a travelling man
I been a slut all my life
Wish every night was a one-night stand

Into your town like thunder
Invasion of noise
Come on down, stick around
But honey don't bring no boys
Crawling out of the badlands
Rockin' the shape of your worlds
We're here but seldom so make us welcome
I love American girls

Love at first sight
Love with a travelling man
I been a slut all my life
Wish every night was a one-night stand

Love at first sight
Love with a travelling man
Give it up tonight
Wish every night was a one-night stand

Love at first sight
Love with a travelling man
I been a slut all my life
Wish every night was a one-night stand

Stand up for the cause
Lay down for the law
You know what your claw is for
Far as you can spit
Don't knock on my door
You ain't welcome no more
I might be a dog
But honey, you're a bitch

Ain't gonna change a thing
Ain't gonna change my ways
I don't care where you've been
I don't care where you go
Going back to the devil I know

Stand up for the count
Hold up and dismount
I know what my feet are for
I know when to quit
Don't come ‘round my house
Or I'll put you out
It might sound harsh
But I'm done flicking your switch

Ain't gonna change a thing
Ain't gonna change my ways
I don't care where you've been
I don't care where you go
Going back to the devil I know

Stand up for your life
Lay down for the knife
I know what that smile is for
Hard as I been hit
I can't be your lover
So go find another
It might sound cold
But I'm done digging your ditch

Ain't gonna change a thing
Ain't gonna change my ways
I don't care where you've been
I don't care where you go
Going back to the devil I know

Ain't gonna change a thing
Ain't gonna change my ways
I don't care where you've been
Don't care where you go
Going back to the devil I know

Running through the darkness
Won't do you no good to flee
Stalking through the golden state
Whose bitch do you want to be
Can't run, can't hide
Gonna get you, wait and see

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver
Lucky thing for you babe, I'm so lazy
But I'm gonna pull your trigger

Look over your shoulder
And all the windows too
Bow down to the golden calf
Which bitch is the one for you?
What you need is extra speed
‘Cause I'm gonna hit on you

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver
Lucky thing for you, babe I'm so lazy
But I'm gonna pull your trigger

Know you can't stop
Move it on over
But that's another story
‘Cause I knew your mama!

Out here in the city
Just half a mile behind
Searching for the golden rose
Which bitch would you like to find?
You can't run forever
And you're still on my mind

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird
I'm crazy
Now feel your backbone shiver
Lucky thing for you, babe I'm so lazy
But I'm gonna pull your trigger

You know I'm weird, I know I'm weird
I'm crazy
Never mind the dicky ticker
Lucky thing for you, babe I'm so lazy
But I'm gonna pull your trigger

We should have got it on, you know it's true
So many times I thought I spoke to you
But I guess it wasn't true, some dreams ain't real
Wishful thinking, the way I feel
But you sure looked good this time, I'm sure it ain't no crime
A little fantasy, involving you and me

Come on over, lay it down
It's about time, shoot me a line, lay it down
All of our lives, running away from the law
We all live under the sun
But we don't have to live under the gun

We still might meet again, you know we could
I got so many ways to make you feel so good
I guess it's up to you to make it work
I hope it's true, don't leave me in the dirt
You sure look good to me, I'm sure you must agree
Just one more chance, the horizontal dance

Come on over, lay it down
It's about time, shoot me a line, lay it down
All of our lives, running away from the law
We all live under the sun
But we don't have to live under the gun

And so we're warm again, perhaps a little wet
I know a few good ways, make sure you don't forget
I guess it's real right now, let me show you how
Some dreams come true, got me next to you
Can't wait to see you naked just for me
Move against me girl, take me around the world

Come on over, lay it down
It's about time, shoot me a line, lay it down
All of our lives, running away from the law
We all live under the sun
But we don't have to live under the gun

If the stars fall down on me
And the sun refused to shine
Then may the shackles be undone
May all the old words cease to rhyme
If the sky turned into stone
It will matter not at all
For there is no heaven in the sky
Hell does not wait for our downfall

Let the voice of reason chime
Let the friars vanish for all time
God's face is hidden, all unseen
You can't ask him what it all means
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side

See ten thousand ministries
See the holy, righteous dogs
They claim to heal but all they do is steal
Abuse your faith, cheat and rob
If God is wise why is he still
When these false prophets call him friend?
Why is he silent? Is he blind?
Are we abandoned in the end?

Let the sun of reason shine
Let us be free of prayer and shrine
God's face is hidden, turned away
He never has a word to say
He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side
(No, no, no)

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Never
Never
Never
Never
Never on your side
Never on your side
God was never on your side
Never on your side

Don't you speak of lies to me
After all the deeds are done
After all the smoking guns
Don't speak to me of lies
Don't you try to scold me now
Don't you try to hold me now
Don't start acting cold right now
Don't you even try
Nothing is the same for us
All the times are changed for us
All things fault and blame for us
Good times laid aside

So now we are the lost
And now we are the last
Living in a nightmare
Broken dreams, love turned mean
Living in the past

Don't you speak to me no more
After what you said before
After all the things you swore
Don't speak to me no more
Don't you know the way we are?
Black enough to hide the stars
Made us take our rage too far
Don't you know at all?
Nothing is what we have now
Nothing is what we're allowed
Nothing but an echo now
Nothing like before

So now we are the lost
And now we are the last
Living in a nightmare
Broken dreams and love turned mean
Living in the past
Living in the past

I will never take the blame
Don't twist the truth, don't be a whore
Tell the truth and shame the devil
Don't you lie no more
I will never understand
How we came to this sad place
Just to look at your sad face
Castles made of sand
Here we are, so we do
What we had is now untrue
What there was is lost and shamed
Here we are again

So now we are the lost
And now we are the last
Living in a nightmare
Broken dreams and love turned mean
Living in the past

So now we are the lost
And now we are the last
Living in a nightmare
Broken dreams and love turned mean
Living in the past
Living in the past

Hear her coming 'bout five miles away
That girl is something, know she gonna make my day
Ah, she is so fine, a real good friend of mine
I just wanna jump her bones all the time

See her walking, she knows all the moves
Fortune cookie, stand your toes up in your shoes
Oh you can't believe what she got up her sleeve
Likes me fine and that's just fine with me

Christine, I'm going out of my mind, like to drive me wild
Red hot mama, ain't no lie, so glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over and do it again just like a bad girl should

She move like a rattlesnake made out of razor blades
That girl can't help it, just the way she's made
I would run all around the world just to see that girl
She sure loves playing with the Ace of Spades

Christine, drive me out of my head, like to drive me wild
Red hot mama ain't no lie, so glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over and do it again just like a bad girl should

Christine, drive me out of my mind, like to drive me wild
Red hot mama, ain't no lie, so glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over and do it again just like a bad girl should

Christine, Christine, Christine
Christine, I just wanna jump her bones
She's my baby

Listen!

Where are we to go from here in time?
Do you see the future? Do you know?
What can you expect from years to come?
And what can you do now to make it so?

All of history is there for you
All the deeds done in the world are mad
If you don't know what has gone before
You'll just make the same mistake again and again and again

Soldier, soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life isn't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory

If you can't see what bloody fools we were
Then you were also born a bloody fool
Listen to the hundred million dead
They didn't know it, but they died for you

All you know is that you're young and tough
Don't you think those millions thought the same?
If you don't know where it all went wrong
You'll just make the same mistake again and again and again

Soldier, soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life ain't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory

Read the books, learn to save your life
How can you find the knowledge if you don't?
All the brave men died before their time
You'll either be a hero or you won't

You don't realize the ony way
Is see why all those brave men died in vain
If all that slaughter doesn't make you sad
You'll just make the same mistake again and again and again

Soldier, soldier, see where we were
You have to know the story
Older or colder, life ain't fair
Got to grab the sword of glory

What do you want?
What do you want?
You want to be a soldier?
Ah, you want to be a soldier
You want to risk your life
Risk your life
You'll just make the same mistake again

Make out, make out, you must run
Divide and rule, more and more
Say the word, hardcore, hardcore

You live your life behind your eyes
You got no life, no disguise

Be my baby, I ain't gonna cry
Shut your mouth, wanna do the dog
Sex with needles, gonna get you off
Outlaw, outlaw, no ma'am, no way
Turn me down, damn shame, I'll say
Going to a freak show to take my pain away

Breakout, breakout, you must dance
Divide and fall, more and more
Save the world, high score, high score

You live your life behind the wall
You got no life, gotta fall

Be my baby, I ain't gonna cry
Shut you down, wanna do the dog
Sex with monsters, gonna get you off
Outlaw, outlaw, no ma'am, no way
Turn me down, damn shame, I'll say
Going to a gun show to take my brain away

Fake out, fake out, you can't leave
Divide and stall, more and more
Say the word, webcore, webcore

You crawl with life, behind your face
You got no life, no disgrace

Be my baby, I ain't gonna die
Stay right there, wanna do the dog
Sex with killers, ain't gonna get them off
Outlaw, outlaw, no man, no way
Turn me down, damn shame, I'll say
Going to a gun show to take my shame away
Can't take the shame away

You remember
You remember me, yes
I remember what we are
I remember only scars
I remember only stars
I remember hell and mother
I have seen the eye of God
Youth trust gone forever

See only the master, risen, risen
After all the silence, all of him laughing
After all the strangers, beaten, driven
Try to place all things in a certain rhythm
Do as the book told you, see the pages torn
Make the spell upon them in human form
So we come to call it, the great and awesome dance
Do you see before you the Kingdom of Romance?

You remember
You remember his face
You remember what I am
I remember only weeping
I remember only sleeping
I remember tearing flesh
I can only taste the devil
Your tears when you cry

Wasted with the children, singing just a hymn
You can hear them only, crying, crying
After all the horses gallop to fathom
Try to feel under you, spine of the dragon
Do as you consider, writhe and spin alarm
Spell tricky magic, nails for your savior
So we bravely gather, though we moan with dread
Do you see before you the Kingdom of the Dead?

Can I remember?
I remember you, no
Can I remember gold?
I remember silver eyes
I remember silver skies
I remember awesome pain
I can hear the horse in darkness
Only he dreams of glory

Standing at the edge of all, looking down at last
Can you see the others, running, running?
All the horses burning, sinking, dying
Do you feel destiny or are you lying?
Do what you were made for, all must endure
Soon the door closes for good or evil
Are you the ice queen or do you want to burn?
Here see before you the Kingdom of the Worm

Kingdom of Romance
Kingdom of the Dead
Kingdom of the Worm
All men must suffer

Dr Rock is gonna shoot you full of rock and roll
We do it real good
Loud and clear, we beat the drum
We gonna make you run
In the name of rock and roll, fire in the sky
Going down, going down

You can't mess with Dr Rock
So don't you even try
We run through the city, got everything we need
We got all the aces and we got them up our sleeve

Gonna see the doctor, take away your pain
We do it real fine
We say what we mean, we mean what we say
We're gonna make your day
In the name of rock and roll, fire in the sky
Going down, going down

You can't mess with Dr Rock
So don't you even try
We run through the city, got everything we need
We got all the aces and we got them up our sleeve

Crossing over rivers, over mountains, over seas
Coming to rock your world
Hear us scream, whatever can it mean?
We're gonna steal your girl
In the name of rock and roll, fire in the sky
Going down, going down

You can't mess with Dr Rock
That's right, don't you even try
We run through the city, got everything we need
We got all the aces and we got them up our sleeve
Right now

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!

Late at night all systems go
You have come to see the show
We do our best You're the rest
You make it real you know
There is a feeling deep inside
That drives you fuckin' mad
A feeling of a hammerhead
You need it oh so bad

Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Bang your head against the stage
Like you never did before
Make it ring Make it bleed
Make it really sore
In a frenzied madness
with your leather and your spikes
Heads are breaking all around
It is hot as hell tonight

Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Here on the stage the Marshal noise
is piercing through your ears
It kicks your ass kick your face
End the fucking tears
Now is the time to let it rip
To let it fuckin' loose
We are gathered here to maim and kill
Cause this is what we choose

Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

The show is through the metal is gone
It is time to hit the road
Another town Another gig
Again we will explode
Hotel rooms and motorways
Learnin' in your your bed
Never stop
Never quit
We are MOTORHEAD

Adrenaline starts to flow
Thrashing all around
Acting like a maniac
Acting like a maniac
Whiplash

Motherfucker
