Ramones Album

9 to 5 and 5 to 9
Ain't gonna take it
It's our time
We want the world and we want it now
We're gonna take it anyhow

We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive

(2x)
Oh yeah
well alright
Let's rock
tonight
All night

Where's your guts and will to survive
And don't you wanna keep rock'n'roll music alive
Mr. Programmer
I got my hammer
And I'm gonna
Smash my
Smash my
Brain!

We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive

(2x)
Oh yeah
well alright
Let's rock
tonight
All night

We want the airwaves airwaves
We want the airwaves airwaves
We want the airwaves airwaves
We want the airwaves airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk

See me silently quietly creep I am too
amped up to sleep lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the bussing sound subway
Creaking down below garbage piled up and ready to go

Lock the windows the gates on taxi in the
Distance coming along stalking the streets
Till the break of day New York beauty take my
Breath away near some cats but dog's don't
bark cool cats strolling after dark

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk

Shaky lock and kicky door smokey air that
I adore down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front

Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk
Can't you think my movements talk

Well, I can't understand
Anything about you
Help you if I can
What can I do

Here's your new home
That's where you must be
In the institution
'Cause you're so lazy

But if you must act up
Again and again
'Cause everybody knows
You're a hopeless problem

Here's your new home
That's where you must be
In the institution
'Cause you're so lazy

You sound like you're sick
You look like you're sick too
You sound like you're sick

But if you must act up

You sound like you're sick

Well, I can't understand
Anything about you

You sound like you're sick
You look like you're sick too
You sound like you're sick
You sound like you're sick
You look like you're sick too
Well you sound like you're sick
You sound like you're sick

My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very un-exciting
To get a good job
You need the proper schooling
Now who the hell
Do you think you're fooling

But it's not my place oh-no
No it's not my place no no
No it's not my-not my-not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
With 9 to 5 girl
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

But it's not my place

Don't wanna be a working stiff
Lose my identity
Cause when it comes
To working 9 to 5
There ain't no place for me
Ain't my reality, to me

Vin Scelsa's on the radio
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know

But it's not my place

She's a sensation
She's a sensation
She looks a so sweet
She's a sensation
She's a sensation
Good enough a to eat

She's a sensation
oh-oh-oh
She looks a so fine
She's a sensation
She's a Sensation
I'm gonna make her mine

No matter what you do (you do)
I give my heart to you (to you)
And oh-oh-baby
I will give to you
no matter What they say (they say)
yeah, we can find a way (a way)
And oh-oh-baby we can find a way

I didn't know it till I walked you home
That, I feel the way I do
and I don't care
What the neighbors say
I always will be true
I always will love you
love you a-wo-wo-wo-wo

(repeat all)

I met her at the 7-11 now Im in the 7th
Heaveb tell me, tell me can this be true
I never thought Id ever meet a girl like you

She was standing by the space invaders so I said
Can I see you later yeah we went for a little
Spin down to teh holiday inn

We was young and in love we was young and in love
And youre the only girl Im ever thinking of

We went down to the record swap the kids were
Dancing to the blitzkrieg bop bop-shoo-wop
Shoo-wop shoo-wop bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop shoo-wop

What ever happened to the radio and where did all
The fun sons go summer fun, with the beach boys on
But we all know what went wrong oh-wo-wo

We was young and in love we was young and in love
And youre the only girl Im ever dreaming of

And so we went down to the dance which turned
Into a whole romance and after just one night
I never knew things could be so right
Oh-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

I kissed and hugged her and I said good-bye
Last thing I knew she wouldnt make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control it crushed
My baby and it crushed my soul now all ive
Got is sorrow and pain standing out here
In the rain the crash, shattering glass,
The sirens and pain is driving me insade oh-yeah

We was young and in love we was young and in love
And youre the only girl Im ever thinking of
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Skies were cloudy everyday nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up our heads were so achey

You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me

We got to get away another lawn to mow
We had our last chance I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up forget the agony

You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me

Everybody was cranky even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle there was beer in the soda
Machine every dinner was crummy even the ones for
Free I was ready to pack it up forget the agony

You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me

Come on now Come on now we got no wheels to race

Come on now Come on now police are every place

Come on now Come on now we got no skirts to chase

I'm just a junk food guy now I'm telling you why
I'm living at the matinee, yeah

I just want to sleep and play come on now
Come on now when the folks are not around

Come on now Come on now nagging 'bout the sound
Come on now Come on now to turn that racket down
I'm just a comic book boy there's nothing scary
To enjoy freak admission stroll inside
I was born on a roller coaster ride

Come on now Come on now we got no wheels to race

Come on now Come on now police are every place

Come on now Come on now we got no skirts to chase

I'm just a comic book boy there's nothing scary
To enjoy freak admission stroll inside

Until the early morning light

All the people, all the time
But they don't please me

Well, I can't take it no more
No, I can't take it no more

Run around, run around, run around, run around

Wee, I can't take it no more
No. I can't take it

Sitting in my room record player on
Sitting in my room humming a sickening tune
Sitting in my room something to do soon

We know what we think of them the problems just
Keep piling in they got complaints about everything

Its us against them its us against them
Its us against them

They just wanna worry thats not what any kid
Should have to do they just wanna be so lame
Maybe they should try and sniff some glue
