Raw power

- Raw Power -

I think a fuse has blown out

It might be on fire

All systems are pushed to the limit

An electric choir

The energy is flowing like wine

My current starts to rise

I wanna hear you now

I wanna hear you shout

Tune in, turn on, turn up

It's raw power

We're never gonna stop

It's raw power

Turn on, raw power

Well, the circuits are fried

Everything is melted

Shock waves have erupted

And we all felt it

The energy is coming from inside us

And it’s pouring out

I wanna hear you now

I wanna hear you shout

Tune in, turn on, turn up

It's raw power

We're never gonna stop

It's raw power

Turn on, raw power

It's raw power

The lightning is striking

The voltage goes up

The people, they have felt it

And they can’t get enough

Sometimes they are uplifting

That's what we’re about

I wanna hear you now

I wanna hear you shout

Tune in, turn on, turn up

It's raw power

We're never gonna stop

It's raw power

We're building and burning, bubbling and churning

Rising to the top, we ain’t never gonna stop

It's raw power

- Stick it Out -

We're gonna stick it out

Oh yeah, people come on

We're gonna work it out

And rock you till the break of dawn

And if somebody screams

I know that we're doing fine

And if my body lasts

I’m gonna see you at the show tonight

Oh, that’s right

Well, there ain’t no doubt

You know what we’re about

We're gonna make you shout

We're gonna stick it out

And my body sweats

From the heat of the night

And my throat is raw

From singing for so many nights

And my blood gets flowing

When I see the hands in the air

Adrenaline kicks in (no pain)

And I haven’t got a single care

Well, I swear

Well, there aint no doubt

You know what we’re about

We're gonna make you shout

We're gonna stick it out

Oh, and my stomach growls

Cause I haven't had enough to eat

And the money’s tight

Just enough to keep me off of the street

But the drive is there

Stick it out until the dream is real

And it's within my grasp

That is what I truly feel

With zeal

Well, there ain’t no doubt

You know what we’re about

We're gonna make you shout

We're gonna go all out

We'e gonna stick it out

- Hard Work, Hard Luck -

Do you rock and do you roll?

Can you feel it in your soul?

I feel it deep within my bones

As I blast my stereo

I live to sing you all this song

And move your body right along

To say what comes within my heart

And let my life become my art

Hard work, hard luck

Break your back just to make a buck

You've got to push, you’ve got to find a way

So you can live one more day

Hear the sixty-cycle hum

And feel the pounding of the drum

Tony ripping on the sax

As the bass and keys attack

We love to make you all this sound

It feels our heart and makes it pound

We have to pour it out tonight

And let the stage become our light

Hard work, hard luck

Break my back just to make a buck

I've got to push, I've got to find a way

So I can live one more day

I see the faces in the crowd

Singing words I wrote out loud

Living free and living true

We work so hard for friends like you

Now it’s time to say goodnight

We’ll let the barkeep get the light

We pack our things up once again

Working hard is how we live

Hard work, hard luck

We break our backs just to make a buck

We've got to push, we’ve got to find a way

So we can live one more day

Hard work, hard luck

Break my back just to make a buck

I've got to push, I've got to find a way

So I can live to rock one more day

- Live Fast (And Leave a Good Looking Corpse) -

Wake in the morning and my feet hit the floor

I'm out of bed and I’m out of the door

I'm living life, I want to live it some more

One conviction, down in my core

Don't care about mistakes, I'm full speed ahead

Worry about what I've done wrong after I'm dead

Living a hum-drum life, that’s what I dread

I'm gonna live fast, that’s what I said

I’m gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

Live fast and leave a good looking corpse

I'm gonna go everywhere, do everything, experience everything of course

I'm gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

You’re moving fast from your moment of birth

You're moving fast on this planet Earth

You move in sadness and you're moving in mirth

Move so fast, can’t feel it for what it is worth

Rotate on Earth at 1,000 miles an hour

Faster than that, ‘round the sun for our solar power

We're moving faster than a meteor shower

Living fast, it ain’t ever gonna sour

I’m gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

Live fast and leave a good looking corpse

I'm gonna pay all of my dues

I won’t be a jagoff of course

I'm gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

Yes I will

I'm gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

Live fast and leave a good looking corpse

I'm gonna love everybody of course

I'm gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

I'm gonna live fast and leave a good looking corpse

- Long Time -

My, my, it's been such a long time

My, my, my, it’s been such a long time

Since I seen my baby, I don’t know where she’s been

I miss her so bad, you’d swear it was a sin

My, my, she tastes like a fine wine

My, my, my, I need her lips upon mine

It's been such a long time, I miss her so much

It's been such a long time, I need her loving touch

Hey, hey, hey, hey

My, my, your touch is electric

My, my, my, it makes my mind so hectic

It's been such a long time, since I made you sweat

You ain’t seen half my lovin’ yet

My, my, you make my temperature rise

My, my, my, with the simple look from your eyes

It's been such a long time, babe, you haunt my dreams

It's been such a long time of passion, bites, and screams

My, my, it's been such a long time

My, my, my, my, my

It's been such a long time

Since I seen my baby, I don’t know where she’s been

I miss her so bad, you'd swear it was a sin

It's been such a long time, I don’t know where she’s been

I miss her so bad, you'd swear it was a sin

It's been such a long, long time

It's been such a long, long, long time

- Beware! -

As I walk the streets around midnight

I see the colors hang in the air

It draws me back, it takes me back

To the point of beware

Beware, take care

Beware, trouble’s out there

Beware, take care

Beware, beware

The signs are everywhere

Something sinister hangs in the air

The hair on my neck does rise

Out there, darkness lies

Beware, take care

Beware, trouble’s out there

Beware, take care

Beware, beware

Paranoid, they’re out to get ya

Break free if they let ya

Dark forces are getting stronger

Safe and secure, no longer

Beware, take care

Beware, trouble’s out there

Beware, take care

Beware, beware

Beware

- You’ll Never Stop This Machine -

I run on passion, hot like a thousand suns

And it's all-consuming, it's burning everyone

A single-minded pursuit, straight arrow path

Whatever is in front of me, I'm gonna kick its ass

I can't be human, a passion you can't believe

I've got no off switch, you'll never stop this machine

I can't be human, a passion you can't believe

I've got no off switch, you'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop this machine

You'll never stop this machine

You'll never stop this machine

I've one sole purpose, whether wrong or right

Unceasing, unending, every day and night

I've got my doubters, supporters, they are few

Deny all the nay-sayers until my dreams come true

I can't be human, a passion you can't believe

I've got no off switch, you'll never stop this machine

I can't be human, a passion you can't believe

I've got no off switch, you'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop this machine

You'll never stop this machine

You'll never stop this machine

You may say to me that my dreams are futile.

You may say to me that what I hope to achieve is never going to happen.

You may say the odds are stacked against me.

Well, I'm here to tell you that I don't care what you say, I don't care what you think, I don't care what you know.

I have one goal in my life that I want to achieve, and I will stop at nothing to achieve it. 

It doesn't matter what I have to do. 

I'm gonna sweat and I'm gonna bleed, and I'm gonna work every day until I get it.  

I don't care what you say.

I'm gonna keep trying, I'm gonna keep crying, and if God wills it, I'll keep dying, because you'll never stop this machine.

You'll never stop this machine

You'll never stop this machine

You'll never stop this machine

- Walk Out the Door -

 You left me when I needed you the most

You packed your bags, left for the coast

All the kinds of love and soul sacrifice

Now your heart is as cold as ice

If you wanna leave, I say go

If you wanna leave, girl, walk out the door

Walk out the door, walk out the door

Forever wasn’t half as long as I thought that it would be

And always ended so abruptly

I let you in, I tore down my walls

You changed so fast, how far I did fall

If you wanna leave, I say go

If you wanna leave, girl, walk out the door

Walk out the door, walk out the door

I will move on, I'll push on, survive

You'll never stop me, I'll grow and I'll thrive

I've packed up your things, every speck, every stitch

I got one thing to say, karma’s a bitch

If you wanna leave, I say go

I want you to leave, girl, walk out the door

Walk out the door, walk out the door

Won't you keep on walking, don’t ever look back

Won't you keep on walking, don’t look over your shoulder

Don't ever look back

Just keep on walking

Till your feet start to bleed

Till your feet start to bleed

- Good Time to Go -

 This is the one, the one for me

This life I can’t conceive of what it should be

Well, the stars in the night, they shine so bright

It's like hey, are you there?

Are you feeling alright?

I wanna know, is this a good time to go?

We could just have some fun, spend some time for a while 

Or you could wake every morning to the sight of my smile

Don't got to be serious, we can just keep it light 

Or you can go to sleep in my arms every night

I wanna know, is this a good time to go?

Here we go, here we go, here we go

Misfortune feelings happen all of the time

I’m asking questions

Oh, it’s not the end of the line

Wait, baby, I got something to say

Maybe I shouldn’t

Oh, it’s not the time of the day

I’m into you deeply, I ain’t gonna lie

But I don’t want to waste my investment of time

I can walk out that door, I can pack up my things

I could be gone so damn fast that you would swear I had wings

 I wanna know, is this a good time to go?

I wanna know, is this a good time to go?

 - Blue Collar Blues  -

 Wake in the morning, throw my work boots on

Hang my head low, know my day will be long

Work 14 hours, work my fingers to the bone

It don’t get no easier cause there’s more work at home

You know I’ll never win,

I'm always gonna lose

I'll do the same tomorrow,

got them blue collar blues

It's gonna be noon now, I got a hunch

I got so much to still do, no time to take a lunch

I gotta get the job done, don’t want my boss to holler

I tell you that it’s killin’ me to be blue collar

You know I’ll never win,

I'm always gonna lose

I'll do the same tomorrow,

got them blue collar blues, hey 

Had a little mix up, material ain’t on time

The boss don’t wanna hear it, don’t wanna hear me whine

I gotta get it done, I gotta figure it out

I’ll bend over backwards so I don’t hear him shout

You know I’ll never win,

I'm always gonna lose

I'll do the same tomorrow,

got them blue collar blues

I gotta keep working, I got to while I'm able

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do to put food on the table

I’ll put my nose to the grindstone and keep my callouses hard

I'm gonna break my back until the good lord pulls my card

You know I’ll never win,

I'm always gonna lose

I'll do the same tomorrow,

got them blue collar blues

Oh no
 
 
- New Day -

 I climbed a mountain, I sailed the sea

I loved a woman but she, she didn’t love me

I sold some things just to pay the rent

I got so much darkness in me,

man, I've got to vent

It's a new day, my friends, come on

It's a new day, oh yeah, come on

It's a new day, my friends, come on

It's a new day, oh yeah, come on

I've had some good times,

I've had some bad

I've done some things I shouldn’t, but I’ve done a lot of things I should have

I’m a firm believer things work out in the end

And if I find that that ain’t true, at least I call you my friend

It's a new day, my friends, come on

It's a new day, oh yeah, come on

It's a new day, my friends, come on

It's a new day, oh yeah, come on

I love life I'm in love with livin’

Things may not always go as planned but hey, that’s the life we’re given

Face each day with a smile, one challenge at a time

And as you go, it’s good to know

You don’t need a reason to rhyme

It's a new day, my friends, come on

It's a new day, oh yeah, come on

It's a new day, my friends, come on

It's a new day, oh yeah, come on

It's a brand new day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
 

- Nothing at All -

 See your tears fall from grace

See your tears fall down your face

See your life flash before your eyes

Realize it’s worth nothing at all

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Try to hide and you try to run

Realize that you're under the gun

Take a stand but don’t back down

Realize it’s worth nothing at all

Hear your cries, voice your fears

Hear your cries fall on deaf ears

See your dreams slipping away

Realize it’s worth nothing at all

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

You retreat and you withdraw

You hadn’t heard and you never saw

You build a wall for your defense

Realize it’s worth nothing at all

See your tears fall down your face

See your life flash before your eyes

Realize it’s worth nothing at all

Nothing at all
