Twisted Sister Album

Good evening! Ha ha ha, welcome to our show
If you've got that problem, yeah, well, I think that you should know
This ain't the same old story or the same old song and dance
Don't speak of faded glory 'cause you won't get a second chance

I want to tell you something, I'm someone you can trust
You'd better take a good hard look 'cause we're the diamond in this dust
Hit it! We're no overnight sensation, no Cinderella fantasy
Please no plaudits or ovations, I've heard it all before you see

CHORUS:

What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you can't see makes you scream
What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you don't have is what you dream

Ain't we a pretty picture, ain't we a load of fun?
Don't let me influence you, I'll do that when we're done
Oh, are we irritating, oh, are we grating on your nerves?
Don't you know that the good boys never get what they deserve

REPEAT CHORUS

Your brain is filled with questions, you don't know how or why
Don't look to me for answers, honey, 'cause I don't want to lie

Solo - Eddie

How do you like it so far, say ain't we quite a show?
There's no one else quite like us, the others all get up and go
Don't fill my head with stories, you see I ain't no debutante
Let's get to the nitty gritty, now you give me what I want

REPEAT CHORUS

What you dream

All right!
So we look kind of weird to you, well, how do you look to me?
How cool you sit there and sneer all through the night, don't you like what you see?
What are you thinking, what will you do when you get your chance to display
All the hang ups inside of you, well, we don't care what you say

CHORUS:

We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?

So you say we're offending you, what's wrong is it something we said?
Look at you squirm, hey you're sweating too, at least now I know you ain't dead
You're always trying to be so hard, tearing down all that we do
We're just having a good time, so let down your guard, we'll prove to you it ain't true

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Jay Jay

Now us boys are annoying too, well, we're sorry to be in your way
You can't stand anything we do, well, what would you like us to say?
We just wanna enjoy our lives, have fun with all that we do
Still you poison the good things with all of your lies, well, we're sick of listening to you

We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you

Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?

How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?
We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll (repeat)

He wakes up in the mornin' and he looks into the glass
His face it reminds him of the long nights that have passed
And he wonders if she wonders that he wonders about her
Well darlin', you'd better run for your life

Girl you played with my head
You destroyed my mind
Now I'd be better off dead
You'd better run for your life

Through abused intentions
You misused my trust
Now's the time for redemption
You'd better run for your life

Solo - Eddie

Girl, my life's in ruins
Pay 'The Tab of Pain'
Now I'm after you and
You'd better run for your life
You'd better run for your life
You'd better run for your life

So, you don't realize exactly what you do
And though you never compromise
It's all been up to you
The lie you've been leading
Has you up to here in sin
You never like to think about it
Now you just can't win

You're committing
Sin after sin
Can't you feel it
Sin after sin
It's so real it's
Sin after sin
Just look around you
Sin after sin
Satan's found you

Thought yourself respectable
But deep inside you know
You've violated all the rules
And never let it show
Figuring you had time
To straighten out the lie you lead
You didn't stop to notice
As your soul began to bleed!

From committing
Sin after sin
Can't you see now
Sin after sin
You ain't free now
Sin after sin
You're committed to damnation
Sin after sin
Lest you repent there's no salvation

He's manipulating, salivating
Promising only lies
First he'll confuse you
Then abuse you
He's ever on the rise
You've got to realize
It is he who tolls the bell
You must open up your eyes
Before you're burning deep in hell!

You're committing
Sin after sin
Can't you feel it
Sin after sin
It's so real it's
Sin after sin
Just look around you
Sin after sin
Oh, my god now Satan's found you
Sin after sin, ahhh!
Sin after sin, ahhh!
Come on now
Sin after sin, ahhh!
Sin after sin, ahhh!
You know it's
Sin after sin, ahhh!
Sin after sin, ahhh!
You've damned yourself, you've damned yourself
Sin after sin, ahhh!
Sin after sin, ahhh!
Lord help you!

Come on boys!
She looks so fine
Like champagne or wine
No one ever gets her
Oh ain't she cool
Plays us for fools
If we wanna let her
Across the room she's sees some buffoon
Blown away by her style
She goes out of her way so that she can play
And make him beg for a little while

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Like caviar
Or a fine foreign car
He's a motivator
Dressed to the T's
They're down on their knees
He's a master baiter
He'll make 'em crawl for the hell of it all
He likes to see 'em cry
And then just for fun he'll say she's the one
And then he'll make her die
He's gonna

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

They don't care about feelings
They were meant to be stepped on
And while one is healing
They go and step on another one

Now, these people prey
On us everyday
Some are bad, some badder
They think we're fools
So they make their own rules
It only gets us madder
Well they think they're hot
Well I say they're not
They shoot us down for fun
If they wanna play
Let's make 'em pay and
Shoot them down with a fuckin' gun

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Come on now!
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot them down
Come on honey
Shoot them down
Come on shoot 'em down

DESTROYER

He spent his life
A silent sentinel
For all to fear
He walks, he talks, he thinks, he feels,
But no one dare go near

He takes in all he sees
Nothing escapes his gaze
And when he strikes
He strikes for right
A glorious sight

Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer
He's in town

He came to be
From a grand mistake
A mystical charade
Created to decide the good
And bring repercussive aid

As awareness filled his fame
He examined those who leered
Then he cleaved the air
With his fiery stare
Rend all those there

Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer
He's in town
Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer
He's in town

A day will come
You'll be drawn into
The center of your town
And come upon a mass of steel
That cracks the very ground

Prepare to meet your judge
Don't think to run away
Just pray your face
Holds no disgrace
For the deadly ace

Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer
He's in town
Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer

Oh he's in town
Yeah, he's in town
You better stay out of his fuckin' way
He's gonna kick your ass

Destroyer
Destroyer

UNDER THE BLADE

A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come,
You'll accept the blade!

You're cornered in the alley way
You know you're not alone
You know it's gonna end this way
The chill goes to the bone
Now here it comes that glistening light
It goes into your side
The blackness comes, tonight's the night
The blade is gonna ride

'Cause you're under the blade,
Oh --
You're under the blade.

It's not another party head
This time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped
A light shines in your eyes
You faintly see a razor's edge
You open your mouth to cry
You know you can't, it's over now
The blade is gonna ride

'Cause you're under the blade
Oh
You're under the blade

A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, anywhere you'll find
You can't escape from the bed you've made
When your time has come,
You'll accept the blade!

You've tried to make it to the front
You're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now
Its mouth is open wide
The lights go on, the night explodes
It tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again,
The blade is gonna ride

'Cause you're under the blade
Oh
Under the blade

Here it comes, baby ...
Oww.

There ain't no way I'm gonna wait for Saturday Night
I worked all day, I slaved away, I gotta set it right
I'm gonna hit the streets, cruise around, I gotta find some action
Ain't gonna stop until I drop or get some satisfaction!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I'm gonna tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Come on now, tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

I've been brutalized, computerized, punched in and punched out
Here comes the night and it just ain't right to be shut in or shut out
So I'm breaking down the barricades, gonna slow the hands of time
Cause to waste away the rest of the day is such a fucking crime!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
You've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

Solo - left: Jay Jay, right: Fast Eddie Clarke

I'll keep grabbin' hold of all the gold in this old world of trash
Long as there's light breaking through the night I'm never gonna crash
And if I'm down and out one day, I won't throw in the deuce
I'll just kick it out, thrash about till I tear it loose, oh

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
We got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Alright, let's tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

They say:
Hey whaddaya doin' with your life
Why don'tcha settle down and find yourself a wife
Don'tcha know you can't run away from here
When will you act your age, why don'tcha listen dear

I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now

They say:
You better stop your dreamin', you're goin' nowhere fast
What if we throw you out, how long you think you'll last
When will you go to school, why don'tcha get a job
Hey girl you better shape up, you're looking like a slob

Well I say:
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now
And I say it again
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up, now

I can't believe you can't hear what you're saying
Take a good look at yourself
Why don'tcha you listen to the music we're playing
Go pick on somebody else

Solo - Eddie

They say:
You think that life's a free ride, well take a tip from me
We're gonna end your party with some responsibility

I say:
I'll never grow up (ha ha ha ha)
I'll never grow up (oh)

I'll never grow up
I'll never grow up (what are these people doing in my room)
I'll never grow up, now (get off of my bed, I gotcha, I gotcha in my dresser)
I'll never grow up (what's happening?)
I'll never grow up (?)
I'll never grow up, now

I wanna tell ya 'bout it
A time is comin'
Just 'round the corner
We don't have very long to go
When we'll be stronger
Our days will be longer
It's comin' soon it might be tomorrow
Can't you feel the power
It's all around and deep down inside
Our numbers growin'
Soon we'll be showin'
We've got the right to rule
We won't be denied
So raise your hands in the air
And I want you to tell the world all about

The day of the rock-rock-rock-rocker
The day of the rock-rock-rock-rocker
The day of the rock-rock-rock-rocker

Oh, come on fingers turn me loose
[solo Eddie]
Ahh, Oh yeah,
Straight from the heart baby
Oh, come on fingers take it home
All right take it down boys

Your time is comin'
So you be ready
To show the world to rock 'n' roll
We'll show them feelin'
We'll set them reelin'
They'll know we've got the music in our control
We'll be in our glory
We'll stand tall ruling over the land
We'll live forever
And then we'll never
Give up the power once it's in our hands
So 'til our day has come, baby
I want you all to raise your battle cry

The day of the rock-rock-rock-rocker
