Brutal Planet

ALICE COOPER Brutal Planet Lyrics
1.Brutal Planet

We're spinning round on this ball of hate
There's no parole, there's no great escape
We're sentenced here until the end of days
And then, my brother, there's a price to pay

We're only human, we were born to die
Without the benefit of reason why
We live for pleasure, to be satisfied
And now it's over, there's no place to hide

Why don't you come down to?
It's such a brutal planet
It's such an ugly world
Why won't you come down to?

This world is such perfection, what a sight
It's just like paradise, for my eyes
A truly mass creation, what a sight
From up here it looks so nice, for my eyes

It's such a brutal planet
It's such a living hell
It was a holy garden
That's right where Adam fell
It's where the bite was taken
It's where we chose to sin
It's where we first were naked
This is where our death begins

We took advice from that deceiving snake
He said, don't worry, it's a piece of cake
And sent us swimming in a burning lake
Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake

Why don't you come down to?
It's such a brutal planet
It's such an ugly world
Why won't you come down to?

This world is such perfection, what a sight
It's just like paradise, for my eyes
A truly mass creation, what a sight
From up here it looks so nice, for my eyes

Here's where we keep the armies
Here's where we write the sage
Here's where the money god is
Here's our famous hall of shame
Here's where we starve the hungry
Here's where we cheat the poor
Here's where we beat the children
Here is where we pay the whore

Why don't you come down to?
It's such a brutal planet
It's such an ugly world
Why won't you come down to?

This world is such perfection, what a sight
It's just like paradise, for my eyes
A truly mass creation, what a sight
From up here it looks so nice, for my eyes

Right here, we stoned the prophets
Built idols out of mud
Right here, we fed the lions
Christian flesh and Christian blood
Down here is where we hung ya
Upon an ugly cross
Over there, we filled the ovens
Right here, the holocaust


2.Wicked Young Man

Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin
The ice in my veins, the staples in my chin
I've got it carved in my forehead 'Slave To My Sin'
Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in

Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street
To the cadence of a goose-step heavy metal beat
Wanna purify my race, gonna turn up the heat
Just wanna make 'em die and make the job complete

I am a vicious young man
Oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play
The movies I see
The music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I like to run my body on heavy, heavy fuel
I can punch through a wall, I can kick like a mule
I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school
I'm the devil's little soldier, I'm the devil's little tool

I am a vicious young man
Oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play
The movies I see
The music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I got every kind of chemical pumpin' through my head
I read Mein Kampf daily, just to keep my hatred fed
I never ever sleep, I just lay in my bed
Dreamin' of the day when everyone is dead

I am a vicious young man
Oh, I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play
The movies I see
The music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I am a vicious young man
Oh, I am a vicious young man
I am a vicious young man
Oh, I am a wicked young man


3.Sanctuary

Your world, full of creeps
Zombies walk the street
9 to 5, barely alive
Have a beer, go to sleep and start all over again

Same gray suit, same round shoes
Same headache, same pills
He goes home thinks about suicide
But he's got his diploma, you gotta give him that

I got a radical place
Got my own private space
It's my sanctuary
It's the castle of doom
I'm the king of my room
Just a Quasimodo
Let the world blow away
This is where I will stay
In my sanctuary
Got my mess on the floor
Got my lock on my door

Go away
Sanctuary
Go away
Sanctuary

Someday, I gotta get outta here
Gotta put on a shirt, put on a tie
Get a job, buy a car, get some insurance
Cause I'll probably have a heart attack by the time I'm 40

I guess I'll find the perfect wife
And I'll have 2.3 perfect kids
And if I work real hard and if I die real fast
They'll all turn out just like me

I got a radical place
Got my own private space
It's my sanctuary
It's the castle of doom
I'm the king of my room
Just a Quasimodo
Let the world blow away
This is where I will stay
In my sanctuary
Got my mess on the floor
Got my lock on my door

Go away
Sanctuary...

I got a radical place
Got my own private space
It's my sanctuary
It's the castle of doom
I'm the king of my room
Just a Quasimodo
Let the world blow away
This is where I will stay
In my sanctuary
Got my mess on the floor
Got my lock on my door

Go away
Sanctuary...


4.Blow Me A Kiss

Take one in the leg, think about your baby
Take one in the side, think about your girl
Take one in the head, think about your mother
Take one in the heart, it's the end of the world

So, blow me a kiss cause I'm black
Blow me a kiss cause I'm gay
Blow me a kiss cause I'm shakin'
Say goodnight

Then blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin', tell me why
Blow me a kiss
Then blow me away

Take one in the face, think about your life
Take one in the eye, think about your soul
Take one in the mouth, think about your savior
Take one in the thigh, are you ready to go?

So, blow me a kiss cause I'm lonely
Blow me a kiss cause I'm afraid
Blow me a kiss cause you don't know me
Say goodnight

Then blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin', tell me why
Blow me away

I'm in my room
I'm Dr. Doom
Cause I'm not me, I'm someone else
Why should you die?
Don't ask me why
You know it, you know it, you know it
Blow me away

I turn the page
I am the rage
I'm coming from a darker place
A much darker place

So blow me away
Blow me away
Yeah, blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin', tell me why
Blow me a kiss

Then blow me away
Yeah, blow me away
C'mon and blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin', tell me why
Blow me a kiss
Then blow me away


5.Eat Some More

Sixty million tons of meat
Spoiling in the stinking heat
Train loads full of moldy bread
Millions will still go unfed

Acres full of dying wheat
Burning brightly at our feet
A billion tons of roasted fish
Some with nothing on their dish

We can't see, we're going blind
We're just dying on the vine
We're all sinking from the weight
Open wide and salivate

Do you like the taste? like the taste?
Stuff it in your face, in your face
Its not nice to waste
We're not happy till we're choking

So we eat some more
Throw up on the floor
Go back to the store
We're so hungry, so pathetic

Lots of melting cheddar cheese
Spreading instant meat disease
Rotting veggies on the ground
Where hungry little kids are found

Worms in fruit, an ugly sight
They're begging for a single bite
Our garbage dumps are mountains high
While other people sadly die

We can't see, we're going blind
We're just dying on the vine
We're all sinking from the weight
Open wide and salivate

Do you like the taste? like the taste?
Stuff it in your face, in your face
Its not nice to waste
We're not happy till we're choking

So we eat some more, eat some more
Throw up on the floor, on the floor
Go back to the store
We're so hungry, so pathetic

We can't see, we're going blind
We're just dying on the vine
We're all sinking from the weight
Open wide and salivate

Do you like the taste? like the taste?
Stuff it in your face, in your face
Its not nice to waste
We're not happy till we're choking

So we eat some more, eat some more
Throw up on the floor, on the floor
Go back to the store
We're so hungry, so pathetic


6.Pick Up The Bones

Collecting pieces of my family in an old pillow case
This one has a skull but it don't have a face
These look like the arms of my father, so strong
And the ring on this finger means my Grandmother's gone

Here's some legs in a pile, where my sister once played
Here's some mud made of blood and these teeth are decayed
The ear of my brother, the hand of a friend
And I just can't put 'em back together again

Pick up the bones and set them on fire
Follow the smoke going higher and higher
Pick up the bones and wish 'em goodnight
Pray 'em a prayer and turn out the light

There are stains on the floor where the kitchen once stood
There are ribs on the fireplace mixed with the wood
There are forces in the air, ghosts in the wind
Some bullets in the back and some scars on the skin

There were demons with guns who marched through this place
Killing everything that breathed, they're an inhuman race
There are holes in the walls, bloody hair on the bricks
And the smell of this hell is making me sick

Pick up the bones and set them on fire
Follow the smoke going higher and higher
Pick up the bones and wish 'em goodnight
Pray 'em a prayer and turn out the light

Pick up the bones and set them on fire
Follow the smoke going higher and higher
Pick up the bones and wish 'em goodnight
Pray 'em a prayer and turn out the light

Now maybe someday, the sun's gonna shine
Flowers will bloom and all will be fine
But nothin'll grow on this burnt cursive ground
Cause the breath of the death is the only sound


7.Pessi-Mystic

Don't need a crystal ball for me to see clearly
No astrology or Tarot cards
Watching CNN and holding my breath
To face the daily news scares me to death

I'm pessi-mystic
I'm so fatalistic
I'm pessi-mystic
I don't believe a thing
I'm pessi-mystic
I'm so nihlistic
I'm pessi-mystic
For what tomorrow brings

I can't hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like being sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Everybody's mind is badly infected
Everybody feeds the parasite
Everything is dark, so why not accept it?
Everything is far more black than white

I'm pessi-mystic
I'm so fatalistic
I'm pessi-mystic
I don't believe a thing
I'm pessi-mystic
I'm so pissed-off-istic
I'm pessi-mystic
Of what tomorrow brings

I can't hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like feeling sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

I'm pessi-mystic
I'm so fatalistic
I'm pessi-mystic
I don't believe a thing
I'm pessi-mystic
I'm so nihlistic
I'm pessi-mystic
Of what tomorrow brings

I can't hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like being sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

I can't hear a word you say
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I like feeling sick this way
So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up


8.Gimme

I know all your desires
Your heart is so full of pain
Is there something I can provide?
When you feel like life's passed you by
I'm on your side

Gimme this, gimme that...

Please don't ask me my name
Does it matter? I'm just here for you
Trust me, just let yourself go
And that's all you need to know

I'm on your side
Sincerely
I'm your only friend
Yes, I'm on your side
Sincerely

Don't you wish you had it all?
Don't you deserve to have it all?
Kneel down and tell me what you need
Fame and money all for you
I can make your every dream come true

Gimme this, gimme that...

Tell me, whose more important than you?
You're the apple of my ancient ties
How could the world be so cruel?
I'll make you my own precious jewel

I'm on your side
Sincerely
I'm the only one that cares
Yes, I'm on your side
Sincerely

Don't you wish you had it all?
Don't you deserve to have it all?
Kneel down and tell me what you need
Fame and money all for you
I can make your every dream come true

There is one thing
I mean, everything has a price
I really hate to repeat myself, but nothing's free

Yes, I'm on your side
Sincerely
I'm the only one that cares
Oh, I'm on your side
Sincerely

Don't you wish you had it all?
Don't you deserve to have it all?
Kneel down and tell me what you need

Don't you deserve to have it all?
Don't you wish you had it all?
Don't you deserve to have it all?
Kneel down and tell me what you need
Fame and money all for you
I can make your every dream come true

Gimme this, gimme that...


9.It's The Little Things

You can burn my house, you can cut my hair
You can make me wrestle naked with a grizzly bear
You can poison my cat, baby, I don't care
But if you talk in the movies, I'll kill you right there

It's the little things
It's just the little things
Aw, it's the little things
It's just the little things
Yeah, it's the little things
That drive me wild

I'm like a mad dog
I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope
Hanging by a thread

I'm on some thin ice
You push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare
No more Mr. Nice Guy

You can steal my car and drive it into the lake
You can stick me in the oven and put it on bake
You could throw a big brick through my window pane
But if I ever hear you ask me how I got my name

It's the little things
It's just the little things
Aw, it's the little things
It's just the little things
Yeah, it's the little things
That drive's me wild

I'm like a mad dog
I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope
Hanging by a thread

I'm on some thin ice
You push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare
No more Mr. Nice Guy

I've done it all
I mean I've been everywhere
I've been beaten
I been stabbed
I been hung
I been burried alive
And I can deal with that
But it's the little things

It's the little things
It's just the little things
Yeah, it's the little things
Just the little things
Aw, it's the little things
That drive me wild

I'm like a mad dog
I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope
Hanging by a thread

I'm on some thin ice
You push me too far
I'm just a psycho
Pathic psycho pathic

I'm like a mad dog
I'm on a short leash
I'm on a tight rope
Hanging by a thread

I'm on some thin ice
You push me too far
Welcome to my nightmare
No more Mr. Nice Guy

It's the little things
Aw, it's the little things
It's just the little things


10.Take It Like A Woman

I bet you never thought that it would never turn out like this
Mama's little girl, daddy's little princess
But somewhere in your fairy tale, everything went wrong
Now the sun don't shine, the words don't rhyme
You're out of time

You've been beaten down, kicked around on the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far, pulled too hard, deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

You thought you had your Mr. Right
But he was really Mr. Hyde
You gave him your most precious gift
You were his bleeding bride

He tied you up, pulled your hair
He slapped your innocent face
Yeah, you were black and blue, he laughed at you
So what'd you do?

Aw, you've been beaten down, kicked around on the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far, pulled too hard, deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

And so, it's over now
Your fantasy life is finally at an end
And the world above is still a brutal place
And the story will start again

You been beaten down, kicked around on the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far, pulled too hard, deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
Felt the pain
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman


11.Cold Machines

I see you working at your station
Radiation burns my eyes
Love's forbidden, so is passion
This whole place is sterilized

I just want to see tomorrow
Day by day, to just survive
But this place is built to kill me
No one here gets out alive

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be gone

You don't know my name
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other every single day
Like cold machines, we're marching
On and on and on and on and on

Got your thumb print always with me
Got your barcode memorized
They came here to electroshock me
They can't erase you from my mind

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be gone

You don't know my name
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other every single day
Like cold machines, we're marching
On and on and on and on and on

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be gone

You don't know my name
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other every single day
Like cold machines, we're marching
On and on and on and on and on
