1.Fatalistic Attitude
Betty was a loser
And everyone that used her
Would let her take the blame
And if she dare refused
And if she dare resist
All suggestions that she made were quickly dismissed
'til in the end in despair
She threw her hands up in the air
She'd slit her wrists
Crying nobody cares
Believing that by dying she would not be missed
They found her on the stairs
She was shot down in flames
If you take no prisoners
If you take no names
Now just between you and me
I think that's very brave
That's really facing the reality
But it's not face that were trying to save
Johnny's turning viscous
If only someone could ease the strain
He says he going crazy
If only someone could ease the pain
The doctor says it serious
The doctor says you must insist
If this boy keeps going on like this
I'm sure he'll end up delirious
May i say it plain
This poor boy is going insane
To be continued on...
Now just between you and me
I think that's very brave
The law is reality
2.The Man's A Fool
Now do you understand
That this was no ordinary man
And do we all agree
That we should use any means nessesary
Like standing in the line
Like pulling at the same time
(can we)
Do you think there's hope for us
(can we save it)
Do you think all is lost
(can we)
Can we save the world in time
The man's a fool
The man's a crazy, mixed up fool
The man's a fool
The man is crazy, mixed up
Now do we dare go on
Know'in that we've done something wrong
Do we dare turn back
Knowing what will happen
We could soon be strong
We could live as one
(can we)
Do you think there's hope for us
(can we save it)
Do you think we can still trust
(can we)
Can we save the world in time
The man's a fool
The man's a crazy, mixed up fool
The man's a fool
The man is crazy, mixed up
I say it with reluctance
(can we)
I say it with repentence
(can we say it)
I say it so opus
(can we)
Can we save the world in time
The man's a fool
The man's a crazy, mixed up fool
The man's a fool
The man is crazy, mixed up
Would we get a chance
Or is it hopeless
Revenge and reluctunce
Please reveal my sentence
Can we save the world in time
(can we)
Can we save the world in time
(can we save it)
Is all lost
Is there such a hollocast
(can we save it)
Can we save the world in time
(can we)
Can we save the world in time
(can we save it)
The man's a fool
(can we)
Can we save the world in time
3.Old Town
The old covent garden
I remeber only too well
The girl's a fool
She broke the rule
She hurt him hard
This time you will break down
She's lost his trust
And so she must
All is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
She plays it hard
She plays it tough
But thats enough
The love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end you'll soon recover
The romance is over
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
I've been spending my money
In the old town
It's not the same honey
When you're not around
I've been spending my time
In the old town
I sure miss you honey
Now you're not around
Now you're not around
This old town
Ola
Ola
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broken down
This boy is crack'in up
This boy has broke down

5.Growing Up
The little girl she comes running home from school
She's lost her first public fight
She's so upset as she wipes away her tears
She can't concentrate on her homework that night
And finally when she gets her homework right
Her daddy knows that somethings wrong
But decideds to leave the questions utill later on
And later on at the little girls request
That she go to bed early to rest
Like a weeping willow
Into her sleeping pillow she cries
The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
But she's only learning
Her daddy gets up late for work
He's got a cigerett hanging from the corner of his mouth
He's late, he's missed that train again
Oh, total shock
And finally when he gets to work
All his fears deliverd with one blow
The boss says, with a smile
I'm sorry but you'll have to go
The little girl is growing up
While his whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
But she's only learning
The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
But she's only learning
(sax solo.....)
The little girl she makes it to school
She meets up with a friend
They both pretend
They want to be the teachers pet again
And finally when she makes it home
She doesn't know what is wrong or right
Should she tell her mamma
Or should she keep quiet
The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
But she's only learning
The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
But she's only learning
The little girl is growing up
While her whole world it is falling down
I wish this hurting it could stop
But she's only learning
She's learning, learning
She's learning, learning
She's learning, learning
She's learning, learning
Growning up
Growing up
Growning up

6.Together
Please please stop
If you see her
Please give her this message
Oh won't you tell her
How much i miss her
Even better
Tell her i must meet her
Or tell her that i lover her
And nothings changed
You see together
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we together
And god forbid
If i should never ever see her
And god forbid
If i was to blame
I remember
Not so long ago
When i was hers and she was mine
Togehter
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we togehter
You see togehter
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we togehter
So if you see her
Please please give her this message
Oh how i love her
Oh how i love her
Oh yes i love her
Oh how i love her
You see togehter
We were stonger
Alas no longer
Are we togehter
You see togehter
We were so strong
Alas no longer
Are we togehter

7.Little Bit Of Water
Just a little water
Changed my very soul
With just a little water
You have gained controll
It was just a little water
Changed my very life
Just a little water
You are my life
Just a little water
Changed my very way
Just a little water
Changed me that day
It was just a little water
Changed my very soul
Just a little water
Now it's me you own
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water
Just a little water

8.Ode To Liberty
The dream was not a vision
Or some preminition like we were told
It was no figment of the imagination
To prove that we could be bought or sold
The doctor of the dimond run
Could be revealed to the intellegent
But this is what i resent
Who cares for the ignorent, the intellegent
The synics approch was mean
Who cares for anything in this whole wide world
Except me
And this opinion must not confuse the issue
My appearence, my condition, or state of delivery
I am stating the obvious
This is a protest
There must me a collusion
This is no shakespearean speach
This is a statement
Made by one who can not practice what he preaches
The statue of liberty
Has engraved on it's wall
Give me your poor, give me your needy
Give me them all
We need something like this
For this world to coexist
It would be so easy
To act so pretensious
To act as if it was hepocracy
To act condisending
When in fact it's the world we're mending
And that's why i can't relax
Cause inside my coat it's a pistol that i pack
We must beware of a suprise neuclear attack
We must be ready to strike back
I'm not pretending
Our defense needs clearly mending
We must leave those standing
Forget the third world is ending
Is starving, is crying
Is desolate, is oh so late
I would dearly love to return
Through a mirror in twenty years
And learn what the future has in store for us
And if i learned that we lost
And there was no hope
For those that fight
I would turn to drink
And drink is drugs
And drugs would help me sink
And like of boat, i float
I sail out to the sky
To the universe and back
Maybe to give it another try
I don't know why, why jack
Just to confirm our father
Just to learn, just to heal us
9.Gino
Alright are you ready for this one?
Alright this is big news
I've been spending my time
In cheap motels
I've been drinking the wine
For the cheap price it sells
I've been cooking it up
In joeys garage
It's like zappa to cappa
Pappa to drumma
Drumma to mumma
Mumma to gino
Even so
But the cat that's got the dough
He's got a cool expression
You know it's gino
You know it's gino
Saying brother to brother
Hate one another
Sister to father
Father to daughter to drummer
Oh gino
Gino
Gino
Oh no i hate gino
10.Don't Talk About Me Baby
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
The ladies act
It attracts
The likes of me and jack
But in fact
If you check it out
It lacks impact
She'll be hoppin and jumpin and leaving and lyin
And cryin then dyin it every single day
I wanna jump, i wanna scream
I wanna tell you 'bout my dreams
Gotta get away, gotta get away today 'ay
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Little silly willy, he went a little silly
And willy he went out late last night
Now who should meet willy, out with lilly
But her boyfriend billy late last night
Then billy gotta little rough with lilly
So willy said hey billy i think that's enough
Then billy went silly, he beat little willy
And willy he went out last night
He said
Don't talk about my baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
(solo...)
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk behind my back
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me baby
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me like that
Don't talk about me like that
