If you live a lonely, lonely life
You get to be aware
And if you've been gone so ask me why
You get to be aware
God knows you got nothing to say
God knows you got nothing to say
I'm on the phone for much too long
Our happiness...
If you gotta know consuming me
You're lifting me aware
And if you got heart all on the...
You get to be aware
God knows we got mails to pay,
God knows we got mails to pay,
Pick up the ball in the telephone,
Got happiness today
You wanna live a laughter
You gotta be aware

I got 1000 answers, one's gotta be right
Give me 1000 chances and I'll get it right

And it does it up with all the lies
You get to be aware
God knows you got nothing to say
I'm on the phone, but not too long...
You wanna live a laughter
You gotta be aware

I got 1000 answers, one's gotta be right
Give me 1000 chances and I'll get it right
Give me 1000 chances and I'll get it right
Give me 1000 chances and I'll get it right


2.Go Right Ahead

Yeah
Go, go, go, go right ahead
Roam the streets in a uniform
(Go right ahead)
Find a bull and you grab the horns
(Go right ahead)
Scream your head off at the day you were born

(Go, go, go)
Go right ahead

Here's a secret keep it tight
(Go right ahead)
It's California late at night
(Go right ahead)
We're gonna drink, fucking fight all night
Go!

Is it right or wrong?
You never know it
Soldiers come along
I'm gonna show it
Our god is a sinner, our king is a con
The room's about to crumble as I burst into song
You gotta go from A to Z from when you're born until you're dead
(Go, go, go)
Go right ahead

Like a tiger breaking out of the zoo
(Go right ahead)
Do anything that you wanna do
(Go right ahead)
The rumours you heard, they were all true
Go!

Is it right or wrong? You never know it
Soldiers come along
I'm gonna show it
Our god is a sinner, our king is a con
The room's about to crumble as I burst into song
Go right ah...


(Go right ahead, go, go right ahead)
Go right ahead
Go right ahead
You gotta go from A to Z from when you're born until you're dead


Run around in a uniform
(Go right ahead)
Find a bull and you grab the horns
(Go right ahead)
You scream your head off from the day you was born

Go right ahead!

4.I Want More

A healthy appetite is good for one and all
And I should be at peace with the world baby, but still I want
some more
A larger slice of pie, a bigger set of wheels
A million sets of human eyes staring right at me - come on!
I want shit that's made in India
Incense, gold and myrrh
Expensive wine and peace of mind
A sailboat n' dancing girls
Cause I can't wait forever, no I just gotta have
Beg, steal, borrow, take, heist, nip, get or make, can I hear
you say

Is it enough? No! Is it enough? No! Is it? No! Is it? No! Is it?
No!
I want more

Yeah that's the way get it, any way I can
Not a balanced sensible individual, not that kind of man
You careful types with sorted lives won't know what I mean
When I speed through life like biblical locusts on a laser beam
Ain't gonna deserve nothing, no I just gotta have
I am a man of much importance to me, I'm a much important man

Is it enough? No! Is it enough? No! Is it? No! Is it? No! Is it?
No!
I want more

More cars! More jewels! More women! More men! More fans!
More lawyers! So come on and give me more!
I want more


5.Wait a Minute

I tried to listen, I can't keep up
What was that you're saying, it was much too fast
You say they're born to lose and we live to win
And when all is said and done, all they do is sin
You say they're lazy and no good and they don't do the things
they should
I see your mouth move and sound comes out,
but I can't hear you cause you're fading out
Oh I ain't here to try and spoil your fun and I ain't trying to
be a cop
But my head is stuck in the guillotine and the blade is about to
drop
Wait a minute now!

So B-B-B-B-Baby wait a minute now
If you want me to understand, cause this is getting out of hand
You say - 'These kids they're all insane',
that 'they got drugs instead of brains'
'They drink blood at night, yes they do, not every one of them,
but a few'

But I ain't here to try and spoil your fun and I ain't trying to
be a cop
But my head is stuck in the guillotine and the blade is about to
drop
Wait a minute now!

My light's out but you don't stop, more wasted time it was all
that I got
No need to worry, no need to fret, come on
You be good, you be gone, understood?
Well come on, wait a minute now!

So hold up you wise up, you wind up, you can't stop,
you don't stop and you won't stop, you won't stop, you don't
stop,
you won't wait a minute now


6.Patrolling Days

Waited far too long
For this day to dawn
Marked position with an x and kept floating on
Now I stretch and yawn
All impostors gone
Once again it's time to reap and sow
I'm a rising tide
Rollercoaster ride
We're ch-ch-chuggin right into the fun
I wont be denied
So you open wide
Cause I'm only looking out for you

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance
And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger and it's time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A!

What now! It's going down!
From way up top to the down low
Take a chromosome
Make it monochrome
And I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
Be a rising tide
Rollercoaster ride
We're ch-ch-chuggin right into the fun
I wont be denied
So you open wide
Cause I'm only looking out for you

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance
And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger and it's time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A!

Cause see I rolled in through the back door
when it was my turn for throne
I never wanted to stand on your pedestal man
cause I was born to build my own
When they say do or die, I said no way no how,
they said I wouldn't last for long

But I'm still standing in the hurricane's eye and it's dancing
to my song
Again I rolled in round the back door, no I ain't got no common
sense
So you can bitch and whine,
but you best stand aside cause I'm doing it again
Well no I won't unwind, I wont be dumped behind,
I wont be coolly led astray
So on the dotted line, I slit my thumb and sign yours truly,
HPA!

My patrolling days are over
And I ain't shot nobody since
I fought the big cheese out of office
And showed the hep kids how to dance
And now we're gonna take a ride on the wiggle and sway
I got my finger on the trigger and it's time to play
And with every little step I blow your mind away
Forever H-P-A!!!


7.Take Back the Toys

Take back the toys that you gave to me
I never knew what to do with them anyway
I never knew how to break up the box
I'll stick to pebbles and boulders and blocks
Take back the toys that you threw my way
I never knew what to do with them anyway
I never knew how to break up the box
I guess the venom is served on the rocks
I been down on the beaten track
Just a holding on, holding out, holding back
Thinking not of what I got but of what I lack
I guess that's what we've been taught all along
It's the drop of poison in the lunch that I got for free
And I've been poppin' the pills placed in front of me
But I had enough baby, I'm breaking free
I never knew why it would take me so long
Take back the toys or I'll destroy 'em do you hear what I say

Take back the toys that you gave to me
I never knew what to do with them anyway
I never knew how to break up the box
I'll stick to pebbles and boulders and blocks
Open my eyes to what I despise and in 14 seconds or more I tear
it down
You see they give you toys just to destract
And then they break your mind mind so they can break your back
Got you in so much debt you can't pay it back
And that's the way that it has been far too long
Take back the toys or I'll destroy 'em do you hear what I say
Take back the toys that you gave to me
I never knew what to do with them anyway
I never knew how to break up the box
I'll stick to pebbles and boulders and blocks
Take back the toys that you threw my way
I never knew what to do with them anyway
I never knew how to break up the box
I guess the venom is served on the rocks


8.Without the Money

One, two, three, four.

See I only wanna have a good life
One I could live and wouldn't have to despise
But I only wanted you to know
That without the money
There's nothing you can do

There are those that never had to work it out
Come from places where green from trees fall
But I only wanted you to know
That without the money that talks through and through
Without the money
They're just like me and you

From the house up on the hill
On the back of a thousand dollar bill
See I only wanted everything but me

Yeah I only wanted everything for free
Yeah


9.These Spectacles Reveal the Nostalgics


10.My Time Is Coming


11.If I Had a Cent

One more crime only way you ever knew it
One more time got a feeling that you blew it
It's a long way down
One last line put the blame on someone else
Now you dug your own well, put the poison in yourself
And my head hangs down
Got a pain in my brain, you is just a migraine
Won't you shut my mouth for another day cause you see

If a had a cent for every time
you went across the line
Of what's appropriate or not
I'd be the richest guy in town

One last time and you're gonna power through it
Moan, bitch, wine then you come back and I knew it
It's a long way down
Tongue still split now you're burning through the pack
I could always spot you friends by the daggers in the back
And my head hangs down
What is this? Monkey biz, I have had enough of this
Won't you shut my mouth for another day cause you see

If a had a cent for every time
you went across the line
Of what's appropriate or not
I'd be the richest guy in town
And my head hangs down


12.Midnight Shifter

You do your time, tow the line
Wading through the water heading for the wine
Throw your pearls for swine, break your spine
You'll never reach a hundred doing 99
You gotta lift your chin to see what comes up ahead
Before the casket slams shut and the fat lady's dead

But if I do do all I can
Tomorrow comes a chance
And if I do do all I don't
There's no reason it won't
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
So hand it over a couple million or more!

Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter

Surprise surprise, I got wise
When you get up in the morning I just close my eyes
No dos or dies are worth the price
Cause once you hit the floor they cut you down to size
No don't get me wrong we could be one in the same
But there's a difference in the way that we're playin' the game
Never let no one be no boss over me
You work in chain, but my thinking is free

Cause if I do do all I can
Tomorrow comes a chance
And if I do do all I don't
There's no reason it won't
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
So hand it over a couple million or more!

Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
