Payin' The Dues

The Hellacopters Payin' The Dues Lyrics
1.You Are Nothin'

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Hakanssan, Anders
Lindstrom

You are nothin'
I'm for real
You see I'm rockin'
'Cause the devil's got a deal

Ain't got no time left
But I've got Shiva on my right
And you're in deep shit baby
While I'm in the limelight

Yeah, action rockin' man born and bred
Well, I've got asteroids bouncin' 'round in my head
We're talkin' cliches baby, I know it's true
And you just can't stand, I'm not one bit like you

And I keep on runnin'
You're standin' still
Yeah, I move my ass
To get kicks and dirt cheap thrills

And our lips are movin'
But I can't hear you say
Yeah, you hit the ditch
And I hit the highway, help

Yeah, action rockin' man born and bred
And I've got asteroids bouncin' 'round in my head
We're talkin' cliches baby, I know it's true
And you just can't stand, I'm not one bit like you

You are nothin', getting nowhere
And you are nothin', getting nowhere
And you are nothin', getting nowhere
And you got nothing at all
And you are nothin', getting nowhere
You got nothing, and you not nothing at all
Come on

Yeah, action rockin' man born and bred
And I've got asteroids bouncin' 'round in my head
We're talkin' cliches baby, I know it's true
And you just can't stand, I'm not one bit like you

You are nothin', getting nowhere
Yeah, you are nothin', getting nowhere
You are nothin', getting nowhere
You can't stand, I'm not one bit like you


2.Looking At Me

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

Hit it

Well, do you know what to do
When the world come crashin' down at your chances
But when it's fallin' apart
Do you know what to do

Well, are you gonna cry
And moan about what's turned sour
It's all about you in the end
So go get a clue

Now is right now
Tomorrow will never be
Now I'm givin' you insight now
So get a life and stop looking at me

And figure out what to do, yeah
And what the scheme and the plan is
When sweet today get sour tomorrow
Will you pull it through, pull it through

Now is right now
Tomorrow will never be
Now I'm givin' you insight now
So get a life and stop looking at me

And figure out what to do
What to do
What to do
Well, do you know what to do


3.Riot On The Rocks

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

Here I go now
I'm on the prowl
For plugged in, psyched out
Fuel injected action

I'm gonna hit the lights now
You gotta hear me growl
Burnin' rubber
Total satisfaction

I'm a live wire, yeah okay
Go ahead punk make my day
Look I don't beat clocks
It's a riot on the rocks

Gotta get some kicks now
Gas I devour
Rockin' and rollin' over
I'm the main attraction

I'm a live wire, yeah okay
Go ahead punk make my day
Look I don't beat clocks
It's a riot on the rocks

I'm a live wire, yeah okay
Go ahead punk make my day
Look I don't beat clocks
It's a riot on the rocks

Alright, okay
Right now, oh yeah


4.Where The Action Is

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

We gotta get us some action
We dial zero, eight
We're tired of bein' a nomad
We wanna stay up late

Runnin' down the subway
That's what we're gonna do
Hubert hook us up we're short on cash
But we'll make it up to you

'Cause we're there, where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We're there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed

We're getting high on the action bliss
We're there where the action is
Well, it's a riot that you can't miss
Bein' there where the action is

Going blind with the robots
And all the kids are sick
We're getting rowdy by the fireside
With Lucifer and all his chicks

Helldorado is the place to hang
Same old song
But it can't go wrong
It's just a, it's just a city slang

'Cause we're there, where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We're there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed

We're getting high on the action bliss
We're there where the action is
Well, it's a riot that you can't miss
Bein' there where the action is

Well, I want it
Well, I need it
Well, I want it
Now

Well, four in the morning
But we don't give a fuck
I get the dice rollin'
First man to hundred damn I need some luck

Entombed in the backyard
Baby's gotta cough up phlegm
Second class intoxication
And 45 RPM

'Cause we're there, where the action is
Times I want is times like this
We're there where the action is
Getting away with no asses kissed

We're getting high on the action bliss
We're there where the action is
Well, it's a riot that you can't miss
Bein' there where the action is


5.Like No Other Man

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

Since I left, I've been gone so long and I can't turn back
I don't miss what I never had or what I lack
Hard to hit a shot from the hip hot steamin' lead
And I'm through getting fucked and giving head

Hell bound, gimme one more round
Well, I can take a stand
You know I'm damned
Like no other man

Well, I'm tired so sick, tired of breakin' down
Won't be no one here to greet you when you come around
And crossroads alleys and empty streets
Burn my feet on the glow, runnin' from the heat

Hell bound, gimme one more round
Well, I can take a stand
You know I'm damned
Like no other man

Like no other man

Can't turn around
You burned my bridges down
Road of empty cans
Lost in a devil's dance

I can't find no rest, keep on goin' and set my pace
Ain't no thing called home there ain't no such place
And I won't come around, won't come around no more
You know as well as I the whole thing's a bore

Hell bound, gimme one more round
Well, I can take a stand
You know I'm damned
Like no other man

Like no other man
Like no other man
Like no other man


6.Soulseller

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

Well, look out now when I come your way
Well, I'm a dog and I'm astray
Well, I've been taught but I won't learn
Been out of luck but baby it will turn

So I sold my soul again
Well, I can't turn back 'cause it's the place
I put my damn self in
And I will sell my soul to you
Well, now what I need has long been overdue

Blast my way with raging speed
Beelzebub gimme what I need, what I need now
I don't wanna wait to what comes around, there ain't no reason
He's gotta holler it now, I gotta hear that sound

Come on, so I sold my soul again
Well, I can't turn back 'cause it's the place
I put my damn self in
And I will sell my soul to you
Well, now what I need has long been overdue

I call it gold, some call it vile
But to place my bets on consolation prices
Just ain't my style, who'll care now
I've gotta get six six six, I've gotta go, well, I've gotta go
now
Won't you burn with me when I make that show

Well, I can't turn back 'cause it's the place
I put my damn self in
And I will sell my soul to you
'Cause now what I need has long been overdue

Soulseller, got a sale for you
Soulseller, got a sale for you
Soulseller, got a sale for you


7.Twist Action

Lyricist:Niklas Andersson, Robert Eriksson, Kenny Dick Hakansson,
Andreas Svensson

Come on little baby got me in a trance
We're both tough so let's just skip the dance
You're lookin' good and I really wanna be with you

Twist action will be good enough
I need a dose of that righteous stuff
I need a little lovin' but fast so baby come on through

I gotta get some time with you alone
Grab onto somethin' I call my own
Ain't got too much time to spare
Come on do the twist action now or I'll be outta here, now

A pretty little girl gotta rock 'n' roll
To get your hand into my pocket is my only goal
The only thing guaranteed is your satisfaction

I got a stiff proposition baby, clench your fist
I'm on a mission to make you twist
Go baby driver gotta get twist action

I gotta get some time with you alone
Grab onto somethin' I call my own
Ain't got too much time to spare
Come on do the twist action now or I'll be outta here, okay

I gotta get some time with you alone
Grab onto somethin' I call my own
Ain't got too much time to spare
Come on do the twist action now or I'll be outta here, girl
Come on do the twist action now or I'll be outta here, girl
Do the twist action now or I'll be outta here, girl


8.Hey!

You say you wanna help me out
But you just fill my head with doubt
I got my own reality and it
Sure ain't virtual
It's my highway
And I choose my lane
And I control the cruise
Yeah I got feelings but bet your ass
They're not mutual

So what gives what will you do
All them things you feel
You have to prove
Like what's the big deal
And what's so god damn crucial


9.Psyched Out and Furious

I've been lost but I know who to turn to
At any cost even if it means I'm gonna burn too
There ain't no reason for me to be left out
Listen to me son, there are things that I can do without

I've gone astray, I've been waitin' for this day to come
Gone away, already out there, baby, too far gone
There ain't no reason for me to be left out
You better listen up now, honey, to what I'm gonna blast out

I've gone psyched out and furious
I'm comin' right on thru', I've gone psyched out and furious

I'm on the road and the flames are getting higher now
Carryin' a load so heavy, it got me wired now
I'm on a chicken race with Satan, got a feelin' that I'm gonna
win
Be my backseat driver, I'm takin' over seven deadly sins


10.Colapso Nervioso

Your family's rich and you feelin' poor
Conscious like a nerve long gone sore
In a world of margueritas and computer games
Guess it's enough to put you in shame
Doin' very bad feelin' really ill
Blowin' doctors for sleepin' pills
So you wanna die don't care who lives
Scratchin' your crotch wondering what gives

Damn feels dirt cheap
How do you stand to be yourself
Right see right through you creep
Gonna push you off the shelf

Trade a sixpack for a switchblade - slit your wrist
Shakin' with the fever of the screamin' bloody twist
Scared to see - cut it out
We'll all do better once you're dead and gone

Yeah so you took a stand
But you don't know what about
Stop now or carry on
Cut it off or cut it out
