1.Creation
Beware of false prophets!
Blow up bodies, blow our minds
Destruction is what's left behind
On East and West the worlds collide
Battle lines just fade and die
In the Islamic East
The slaughter at the feast
Is this your?
And the only thing that's feared
Is just a sacrificial beast
Is this your?
Call in the dogs of war
And slaughter the whore
Is this your creation?
While those who don't believe
At best are left to bleed
Is this your creation?
Children who can't be saved
Thrown into an early grave
Is this your creation?
Discrimination and hate
The legacy of mankind
Is this your creation?
2.Tokyo Rose
Some say it was a match made in heaven
Some say made in hell
Before too long, old Jakie
Was hearing those old church bells
He drove a tractor, she drove a cadillac
All he wanted to do
Climb Fuji, Tokyo tower
See the sights of the city too
I'll meet you in Shibuya
Said Tokyo Rose
I'll meet you at the statue of Hachik?
Tokyo Rose
Now some people wait all day
Some people wait all night
Waiting for the lover to come along
You know it just ain't right
I'll meet you in Shibuya
Said Tokyo Rose
I'll meet you at the statue of Hachik?
Tokyo Rose
Tokyo Rose!
What do you do in Tokyo?
Go out and meet the boys
Take in a few bars, have a little drink
You got too much choice
I'll meet you in Shibuya
Tokyo Rose
By the statue of Hachik?
Tokyo Rose
3.Hell Is Other People
Save your sermon, save your conviction
Your holy book - nothing but fiction
Hell fire, gentle persuasion
Just look around you - the fear is frightening
Hell is other people
Hell is
Said I was a bad boy, I'll go straight to hell
Tried to beat some good in me, I was born to rebel
Grew up with a chip - One on each shoulder
But I found the truth before I got much older
It seems the world's turned lazy
That they've all gone crazy
I start to smile
But in a while
I start to think
Hell is
So maybe it's me
Maybe it's the age I've reached
I look around
I see straights and freaks
Some people get happy looking at a clown
Some people get crazy, having them around
It seems the world's turned lazy
And that they've all gone crazy
I start to smile
But in a while
I start to think
Oh, Hell is!
4.The Axe
You lit a fuse
And then you ran away
You cried all day
When the axe came down
You pay your money
You take a chance
But now you do a different dance
And there'll be no pipers playing
When the axe comes down
You said the streets of the city
Were paved in gold
But you were bought and sold
Before the axe came down
You ran the gauntlet
You ran from the law
But you ran outta luck
When the axe came down
Now I can't tell you why
The martyrs had to fry
Some say it's just an act of God
Who dares wins
Who hesitates has lost
And now you pay the cost
When the axe comes down
And all you paid up Republicans
Who live by the gun
Your time will come
When the axe comes down
But every generation
Just filled with hate
Running from the blade
When the axe comes down
The architects and draftsmen
Who build the brave new world
They'll call for your blood
When the axe comes down
5.Radio Unfriendly
Turn on my radio
I wanna hear some rock 'n' rock
All I get is a sludge fest
Girl and boy bands and the rest
Try another station
Not doing so good
I get the middle of the road
I turn on the news
Radio unfriendly
Playing the same thing over
Radio unfriendly
Collecting your payola
Hey kids, I've found
A brand new station
It's going out
Across the nation
Don't need no tuner
Or other wires
Don't need no radio
It's called D.I.Y
Radio unfriendly
Playing the same thing over
Radio unfriendly
Collecting your payola
I think it's just me
Getting old and cranky
It's all opium for the people
I need something to believe in
Before I stop breathing
6.This Chaos
As kings and queens change places
The castles rise and fall
They call it civilization
But it isn't that at all
It's Chaos - Chaos: they call civilization
Chaos - Chaos: they call civilization
Behind the window
Of a tenement block
So many good people
But what have they got?
Chaos - Chaos: they call civilization
This chaos - chaos: they call civilization
Do we have a chance? NO!
To realise potential? NO!
Do they have freedom? NO!
To be what we wanna be
Oh no
The poets write history
The armies destroy
Panic and slaughter
And it doesn't make sense
7.Guru
It's swirling round my head
Everything that you said
Espoucing mysticism
And transcendentalism
Your Guru
He dresses like a sheik
But lives in Heywardss Heath
Selling you his saffron lies
While sleeping with all your wives
Your Guru
He says your aura's too faded
That science is just too jaded
He wants a million for a shrine
He says what's yours is mine is mine
Collecting big fat checks
From all you spiritual wrecks
Saving wealthy souls
While driving his paisley Rolls
Your Guru
8.Eighteen Wheels
Eighteen wheels a-rolling
Rolling down the road
Out on Highway One
Waiting to implode
For I am, I am
I'm your highway man
I am, I am
What I am
Look out any window
Open any door
You'll see me riding by
Down the golden shore
I am, I am
I'm your highway man
I am, I am
What I am
Some drive up to heaven
Some drive down to hell
I'm on Highway Number One
There's no one here to tell
And I am, I am
I'm your highway man
I am, I am
What I am
Eighteen wheels a-rolling
On Highway Number One
San Diego to Spokane
On my Whiskey run
I am, I am
I'm a highway man
I am
What I am
9.Children Of The Flood
Shall we say that man has had his day
No more history, it's over
The struggle has begun
For generations to come
No more honey, no more clover
Flood waters cover land
From horizon to horizon
All your cattle washed away
Along with your possessions
Politicians talk about it
Forgetting there's a crisis
They take the money
Still the water's rising
We're all children of the flood
Too late, too late for talking
We're all children of the flood
I guess you better start walking
Politicians talk about it
Water just gets higher
They just tall ya
There's nothing they can do
The population grows
And the earth keeps shrinking
There's no land left
For me and you
We're all children of the flood
Too late, too late for talking
We're all children of the flood
I guess you better start walking
10.All Blurs Into One
Just another hazy day
Open the door, go out to play
What's that coming down the street
Hey, there's friends I got to meet
So I drive on down the road
Just to find a watering hole
Another sunny afternoon
Drinking beer and Tequila
My head's starting to spin around
I can't drive much further
We end up in a music bar
My head is feeling hazy
When the band begins to play
We get a little crazy
It all blurs into one
Don't ask me the time of day
My memory fails me
I just don't know what week it is
Or the time of year
Just one thing on my mind
And it's there all the time
And it's time for another beer
Next day I'm in the dark
Woke up in the park
Had a strange thing over my head
A wreath or two, they thought I was dead
Go home, have a shower
Being right as rain in just one hour
Is it '77, is it 2001
I don't care
I'm having too much fun
All blurs into one
11.Blood
Looking out my window
What you think I see?
Another stormy night
On a stormy sea
Another round of bars
Another drink or three
I'm driving down a road called
No Mercy
An accident
Just waiting to happen
I'm standing here
On this sterile stage
Paranoia all around
I got my both feet on the ground
The crowd cried out for more, more, more
Blood
They want blood
You got to give 'em blood
Blood on my guitar
Blood
Blood
Can't you see the blood?
Blood on my guitar
I wanna see some blood
Blood
Blood
Blood on my guitar
12.Rock 'N' Roll Whore
She comes out with her pretty face
fish nets, black lace
You know she comes from outer-space
You just can't ignore her
Said that she has done it all
New York is such a bore
No CBs anymore
No place left to go
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's so hardcore
She gives out pussy galore
She's just a rock n roll whore
Concrete jungles at a mall
Her head is always in the stars
Haunted all the New York bars
Her life is a go go
Climbs into her spaceship
Trying to find a place that's hip
Hollywood Sunset Strip
East Coast is a no no
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's done it all before
Nobody can ignore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's done it all before
Nobody can ignore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's done it all before
No CBs anymore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's done it all before
Nobody can ignore
She's just a rock n roll whore
She's just a rock n roll whore
New York is such a bore
Can't stand it anymore
she's just a rock n roll whore
She's just a rock n roll whore
Nobody can ignore
She's done it all before
She's just a rock n roll whore
13.Strychnine
Some folk like water
Some folk like wine
I like the taste of
Straight strychnine
You may think it's funny
That I love this stuff
But if you've tried it
You can't get enough
Wine is red
Poison is blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailing you
Said wine is red
Poison is blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailing you
If you listen to what I say
You'll try strychnine one day
It'll make you jump
Make you shout
It may even knock you out
14.Robot Age
Dance, travel
In the robot age
God did not make man
Man made God
God did not make man
Man made God
Dance, travel
In the robot age
God did not make man
Man made God
Dance, travel
In the robot age
