Young, rich and famous
What you want to be
You give it everything you got
But your sympathy
Been with everybody in the magazines
You know you're spinning so fast
That you're runing out of fantasies
What you want is
What you need is
Whata you're willing to be
It's so strange
You feel so insane
It's like--who's that talking to me
Here's your 15 minutes of fame
What you gonna give me
To ease the pain
When it's all over
Won't know your name
Here's your 15 minutes of fame
No satisfaction
Your simple creed
You know you pour in everyone you got
Just to fill the need
No doubt you're witness
To a major scene
But you better not lose your touch
Or you're history
What you want is
What you need is
What you're willing to be
It's so starange
You feel so insane
It's like--who's that talking to me
Here's your 15 minutes of fame
It's a risky business
It's a liar's game
Into the spotlight and out again
Come and get your 15
Your 15 minutes of fame
Here's your 15 minutes of fame
It's a risky business
It's a liar's game
Into the spotlight and out again
Come and get your 15
Your 15 minutes of fame

There's a face in the mirror, and you close your eyes
Much easier to turn away, than to take a look inside
So you're thinking it's over, walking away
Let your little world crash and burn, ooh what a price to pay
Didn't anybody tell you it's not who's right or wrong
Hold the line, is this what's going on?

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will

There's a crack in the mirror, there's a hole in the sun
Full moon in the midnight sky, and you feel like you wanna run
So you blow out the candle and you turn out the light
Then you stumble into darkness - who'd believe that love is blind?
Didn't anybody tell you it's never too late to try?
Hold the line, before you say goodbye

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will

Now I'm not talking about what's good for me
And I'm not saying how you ought to be
But if there is a message shining on through to you
Take a little peace of mind and let that love-light shine

Didn't anybody tell you it's never too late to try?
Hold the line, before you say goodbye

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will

Where you going now?
When your world's turned inside out
Isn't love what it's all about?
Where you going now?
When you get to the top of the hill
Gonna be there yes I will
Gonna be there yes I will

Mister please
Won't yo tell me I'm alright
I'm so lonely
I been thinking I could die
I got me a woman
She bled her soul
All over me
I think she's crazy
What you gonna do with me
Brother brother
Can't you hear them mission bells
Calling out
All them sinners bound for hell
Ain't no stranger
Been down that road before
So brother brother
Won't you tell me I'm alright
I'm alright
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Smoking mother nature into the dust
Yeah that's all I see
Praying to gods that are made out of rust
And thinking what you might have been
Now I suppose I could change my vows
Yeah that's all I need
Maybe some day you'll find me fishing
For the lock that fits with my key
Gonna change it baby that me
Ah, ah, hey mister
Never one to count
Take a look at my life
What a work of art I see
Got no love baby living off the tracks
With the chains and the shackles on me
Now I'm with you
Gonna head on south
Sliding down to Mexico way
Maybe someday you'll find me sitting
On a beach where the palm-ah trees sway
And heaven's just a little kiss away
Won't you help me mister please
Now I suppose I could change my vows
Yeah that's all I need
Maybe someday you'll find me fishing
For the lock that fits with my key
Gonna change it baby that's me
Won't you help me mister please
Mister please
Won't you tell me I'm alright
I'm so lonely
I been thinking I could die
I got this woman
She bled her soul all over me
Now I think I'm crazy
What you gonna do with me
Mister please

Never again
you say the words and let
the sunshine in again
you can close your eyes
and know it's safe inside
to sing your lullaby (now I lay me down)
you broke the chains
and you won't be silent anymore oh no!
now you're gonna shout about it
no! no more!
yeah yeah this is the end
the silence is broken now it's over now
the words have been spoken
and with every word you say you blow away
the tears of another time

face to face
anyone can see that you're not
the child you were before (now I lay me down)
you take your place
no one can take away your heart oh no!
there can be no doubt about it
no! no more!
yeah yeah this is the end
the silence is broken now it's over now
the truth has been spoken and with every word you say
you blow away

never again you say the words and let
the sunshine in again
you can change the world
but no one can take away your heart
the silence is broken now it's over now
the words have been spoken
and with every word you say you blow away
the tears of another time
the silence is broken now it's over now
the truth has been spoken
and with every word you say you blow away
the scene of another crime

Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent

Haven't I seen your face before
You greased the handles on my door
Took me for a ride
Down lover's highway
Uh huh, oh yeah
Let's shake it up
Next time you're going my way
I don't want you comin' down
Spread your lightning all around
Yeah that's right baby
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Well pretty faces turn to stone
Pack their bags and head for home
When I dress you in that little next to nothing
Uh huh
I don't think I need you now
Or what
You got to let me know
How far you want to go
Is it yes or no
Unless unless you let me know we never ever ever
Ever gonna get started
Some people never learn
That you just might get burned
Now you just say the word
Come on say it say it to me to me come on
Now say it to me
Once you get started it's hard to get off the road that you're on
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly

There was a time
When a man lived by his word
And the simple truth
Was not so hard to take
When his enemies
Were thousands of miles away
And he stood by
The promises he'd make
All that I ask for
All that I need
Is someone that I can believe
Yeah
Just like the air
That we breathe in a single day
To a drowning man
How much do you think he'd pay
All that I ask for
All that I need
Is someone that I can believe
When I listen to the things you try to say
Any ordinary man would fade away
But if you want I'm ready to receive
I know that I can believe
Every word you say
And the love you give away
Goes straight to my heart
And everything you do
And how you follow through
Can keep us together
Or tear us apart
When I listen to the things you try to say
Any ordinary man would fade away
But if you want I'm ready to receive
Well I would not have it any other way
I know that I
I know that I
I know that I can believe
Yeah
And I am listening
To every word you say

Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent

I don't want to talk
That much about anything
And I don't want to know
About who you been seeing
My will is on
And I can't say no
The feeling's strong
But I can't let go
Baby
You got me living this side of hell
Living this side oh well
You got me salivating
Was it Pavlov's intention
Living this side of hell
I don't know much
About wide-eyed innocence
Or hanging around
Withou your cheap intelligence
My brain went south
As I hit the floor
And all I want is more and more
Honey
You got me living this side of hell
Living this side oh well
While I was goin' to school
You bent me over the rules
Living this side of hell
I come around
And start to knock at your door
I hear a voice say
"She don't live here no more"
That's it for me
I guess I don't get to score
And then you woo me, you do me, you chew me up and spit me out
You keepin' it up
'Til a quarter to three
That little bitty thang
Got a hold on me
Honey
What you doin' to me
What yo tryin' to do
What you tryin' to do to me
Got me living this side of hell
Living this side oh well
I'm in way over my head
Why can't I be like Ted
Living this side of hell
Got me living this side of hell
You got me living this side oh well
Is it your good intention
Or a crisis intervention
Got me living this side of hell
Living this side
Living this side
Living this side
Living this side of hell

I was standing on the corner
With a suitcase in my hand
There was a woman right behind me
Sayin' honey won't you be a man
I said I'd love to baby
But I've got to go be with the band
I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go honey go
Double coyote man
I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
Double coyote man
I couldn't believe it when somebody said
You was out on the road with another band
I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
Double coyote man
I couldn't believe it when somebody said
You was out on the road in the back of
The bus with the opening act and the
Technical crew and the manager too
What's the matter with you

Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent

Thunder on the mountain
Fire in the sky
The rainbow is my brother
I will choose to live or die
A stampede on the prairie
That brings me to my knees
My spirit is the eagle
And he will set me free
Another night of horror
The streets are living hell
The gangland has no honor
Just that dying smell
Where is the vigilante
He is better than the knave
Life's a penny ante
I refuse to be a slave
Because I am an uprising citizen
Red man
When you feel an uprising
And your blood runs cold
You dig a little deeper
To the bottom of the hole
Oh our time has come
Oh our time
Uprising
When you feel an uprising
And your blood runs cold
You look a little deeper
To the bottom of your soul
Oh our time has come
Oh our time
Uprising
You dig a little deeper
To the bottom of the hole
Uprising

In the heat of the night
You've pushed my juice to the limit

You slide so right
I know that you'ra going down

It's getting harder to breathe
You burn my bones with your fever

[I'm gonna get ya]- while you sleep
[I'm gonna wreck ya]- release your body heat
[I'm gonna get ya]-I know you're gonna come with me

I wanna be your - Hard Attack - Hard Attack
You gonna feel my Hard Attack - Hard Arrack

When you shiver and shake
I'm a man hell bent on a mission

We're doing it good
I'm a tiger on heat tonight
[I'm gonna get ya]- while you steep
[I'm gonna wreck ya]- release your body heat
[I'm gonna get ya]-I know you're gonna come with me

I couldn't talk for the longest time
About the deepest fear of mine
I'm haunted by this hurting spell
To see what I can never tell - it really hurts

Who am I - what can I say
I rather turn my eyes away
I hear my conscience speak out loud
You cannot change - you're way too proud

Don't let me down - I'm standing at the crossroads
Don't let me down - I'm standing at the crossroads

You gotta know, I can read your mind
And see that you're the kind
Who's hiding pain, hiding his life
Behind a wall, a wall of pride

Full moon in the sky
Is like an enemy

I feel like everybody
Is going to walk all over me

A never-ending fall
I can't believe it's real

Rolling down a hill
Tumbling like a broken wheel

I'm caught in a dream
Don't know where I've been
Way too extrame
It's making me scream

Climbin' up a mountain
Never getting to the top
Walking on the edge
I fight to wake up

I'm caught in a draam
Don't know where i've been
Way too extreme
It's making me scream

Nice try - if you wanna get me down
You gotta shoot me twice

Watch out - you better move aside
And try to realize - that I'm alive

Why me - can't you see
You're nothing I wanna be

Back off - you should be aware
diggin' in the dirt - isn't fair
What do you want from me
What are you trying to say

Stop diggin' in the dirt
.... diggin' in the dirt
Stop diggin' in the dirt
.... diggin' in the dirt

Gar lost - if you gotta dig in dirt
Just try your own

Calm dawn - it's making me sick
Right to the bone - we're nor alike

What do you want from me
What are you trying to say
Stop diggin' in the dirt
.... diggin' in the dirt
Stop diggin' in the dirt
.... diggin' in the dirt

I would have lied far you
i would have died for you
You cut the skin off my bones

I thought you'd steal for me
I thought you'd kill for me
Ain't gonna throw the first stone

I feel a growing anger
'Cause you turned your back on me

Lay it down on me - lay it down on me
Lay it down on me - lay it down on me

I'm gonna fight for you
I'm gonna kill for you
I'm the blade of your knife

I gave my heart to you
But lost my faith in you
Now you're the hate of my life

I feel a growing anger
'Cause you turned your back on me

Lay it down on me - lay it down on me
Lay it down on me - lay it down on me

Why would you leave me - I will never understand
I'm searchin' for a reason
You gotta stop messin' with my mind
Messin' with my head

I can not believe you - walkin' out on me at all
I've always been your backbone
I was there to catch your fall

I don't believe it - it just ain't over yet
It ain't over yet
I don't believe it - it just ain't over yet

It might be wishful thinking - you would change your mind
A voice in my soul says no - you're not the kind
The power of illusion
Keeps me going every day
I've got no explanation
How can I make you stay - it just ain't over yet

Ain't over vet
I don't believe it - it just ain't aver yet

Roaming through the forest
Along the mauntainsides
Moving through the darkness
I'm a creature of the wild

Sneaking up behind you
Hunting in a pack
Attacking out of nowhere
Always from the back

Predator
[I'm a] Predator
Eating you alive
[I'm a] Predator

It's the call of the wild
Pumping up my powers
My fangs are razor-sharp

Nature's takin' over
My instincts are alive

Predator
[I'm a] Predator
Eating you alive
[I'm a] Predator

Life is like a slot machine
Nothing's guaranteed
You might give your soul away
To cut yourself a deal

I really hate uncertainty
Will I win or lose

Ain't nothing but a game
Going insane - roll the dice again

Crucified - deep inside
I'm feeling crucified

Life is like a lottery
Can I ever win
Will it be another one
Or me - who's cashing in

Ain't nothing but a game
Going insane - roll the dice again

Crucified - deep inside
I'm feeling crucified

Day or night - seems always right
To execute a crime
But now it's time - to pull the plug
And stop this bloody game - this bloody game

They're black or white
Crime is colour blind
Rage is breaking loose
For our defence
It makes good sense
Lock 'em all away

We've gotta take out the crime
Start all over again
We've gotta clean up the slime
So we can live without pain

We have been told - a million times
Crime will never pay
The loss of life - is hard to take
When evil rules the day

We've gotta take out the crime
Start all over again
We've gotta clean up the slime
So we can live without pain
Take out the crime
You better watch out
When you clean up the slime

When they're doing time
They go out of their mind
They're beyond the point
The point of no return

We've gotta take out the crime
Start all over again
We've gotta clean up the slime
So we can live without pain

We've gotta take out the crime
Start all over again
Come on and kick out that slime
So there's a future again

I ain't gonna be damned no more
If I'm standing my ground
There's times when I got no style
Just hanging around

But don't take it for granted
That you're so cool with me
Next time you leave this room
You better slam that door

'Cause I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn - what you think of me
I don't give a damn - what you think of me

Don'r you ever come back to me
'Cause you're sure bad luck
You ain't nothing but truble
You never gave ... just took

That's why I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn

I don't give a damn - what you think of me
I don't give a damn - what you think of me
