1. ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE

It’s another napalm night
In downtown Babylon
The contract for blood
Ain’t worth the paper that it’s on
To the dark side of the road
Where the junkies prey and hide
It’s one way ticket
On a slow death suicide

Don’t you turn your back on me
Don’t you turn your back
Don’t you turn your back

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the fools
When all hell breake loose
All hell break loose
Walk a murder mile
Wearing deadman’s shoes
When hell break loose
All hell break loose

I drink to remember
Why I drink to forget
It’s love, necessity
Or just a goddamn ignorance
To aggregate and segregate
Contemplate my fate
Keep the fight real brutha
Leave some blood in the place

Don’t you turn your back on me
Don’t you turn your back
Don’t you turn your back

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the fools
When all hell breake loose
All hell break loose
For the chains you refuse
All hell break loose

When the boys left town
When the well ran dry
There’s no earthly reason
No universale alibi
For hangin’ around whith the break show desperados
On the mean streets of some hellhole wild-west Eldorado

Don’t you turn your back on me
Don’t you turn your back
Don’t you turn your back

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the fools
When all hell breake loose
All hell break loose
For the chains you refuse
All hell break loose


2. BOUND FOR GLORY

Johnny Wong keeps trying to get it right
Way down in Suckerville tonight
When darkness falls in the neon lights
He feels like walking dynamite
And he knows he can never win
He’s just trying to lose a little more slowly

Bound for glory
The lost but never lonely
Bound for glory
Boud for livin’ on the edge
Bound for glory

The righteous and unholy
Desperation always tells a story
I would have rebuilt Jericho
For nights a good as this
Another of redemption
And its taste in every kiss
Elvis in the backroom
Jesus on the wall
Mary’s on the whiskey
There ‘s shadows in the hall

Bound for glory
The lost but never lonely
Bound for glory
Boud for livin’ on the edge
Bound for glory

We all know we can never win
We’re all tryin’ to lose a little more slowly
We gotta get through this world free or die trying
Ride that downtown train hell-bound for glory

Bound for glory
The lost but never lonely
Bound for glory
Boud for livin’ on the edge
Bound for glory


3. KINGDOM OF THE LOST

Come here and listen to me boys
For the story that I tell
How Icrossed the sea from Erin’s shore
A man condemned to sail
To a land of milk and honey
And whiskey by the pail
They promised me a future there
A life that would not fail
For it’s a rocky road you travel
Tryin’ to walk a righteous path
I left my love back there
Whit our baby on her lap
I’m putting down my sword now
I’m hanging up my gun
I haven’t got the will to fight
This battle lost or won

This home is not our home from home
This land is not for free
No matter where I work or roam
Won’t bring my country back to me
In the kingdom of the lost

The bullets keep on coming
And the rai nit never ends
I don’t know who I’m killing now
My enemies or friends
I’ll drink away the darkness
Till the dawn comes around
You can take me if you want to
Carry on, my guards is down

This home is not our home from home
This land is not for free
No matter where I work or roam
Won’t bring my country back to me
In the kingdom of the lost

Come here and listen to me boys
For the story that I tell
How I crossed the sea from Erin’s shore
A man condemned to sail
To a land of milk and honey
And whiskey by the pail
They promised me a future there
A life that would not fail

This home is not our home from home
This land is not for free
No matter where I work or roam
Won’t bring my country back to me
In the kingdom of the lost

I’m rebel without a cause
I’m a patriot without a heart


4. BLOODSHOT

Just before the sun comes up
And floods the wailing wall
She makes love to forget herself
He makes love to recall
There’s a trail of total carnage
In the rear view when he looks
There’s a tale of fear and loathing
In each chapter of this book

So give me something to celebrate
No matter what the cost
There’s a battle raging inside of us
When emerald eyes are lyin’
They’re bloodshot

The damage isn’t visible
When she shines a naked flame
The story barely credible
But he tells it justthe same
He talks of far off promised land
Every time he comes around
He whispers darling bend your knees
Before we hit the ground

So give me something to celebrate
No matter what the cost
There’s a battle raging inside of us
When emerald eyes are lyin’
They’re bloodshot

You know he’s got it easy
She just sits down and waits
While arrows land on bloody skin
Beyond the city gates
He’d have made the journey with her
But he got the needle stuck
She’s running out of time
He’s running out of luck

Someday it all may come to pass
Someday a journey’s end
Bright light city memories
Of lovers and old friends
There’s a snowstormon the table
A carpet made of glass
There’s a heartbeat like a kick drum
There’s a viper in the grass
So give me something to celebrate
No matter what the cost
There’s a battle raging inside of us
When emerald eyes are lyin’
They’re bloodshot


5. KISSIN’ THE GROUND

You come around with your eyes in the moon
Lines on your face, you’re getting old too soon
Scandalize and they criticize
Daddy’s up late pacing around the room
Out of your mind and too cruel to be kind
Man in the mirror showing all the signs
Stay out of touch just a bit too much
You spit on the sun just to dull up the shine
The secrets you keep make you talk so proud
The talk in your sleep gives away how you feel right now

Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Kissin’ the world good-bye
Kissin’ the ground you walk on

What kind of fool was I
Cracks in the ice from a heavy load
Another day, another episode
Hell-bent, defiant, you’re a dandelion
Caught in the wind at a fork in the road
You’re singing a song that I can’t make out
I’m singing along can you hear me, hear me shout

Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Kissin’ the world good-bye
Kissin’ the ground you walk on

Time’s running out and so is hope my friend
You’re all uptight thinking you’ve reached the end
You push and you push like a bird in the bush
To get into the light you gotta break from the bend

Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Kissin’ the world good-bye
Kissin’ the ground you walk on


6. HEY JUDAS

I still love you Judas
After everything you’ve done
I still trust you Judas
Like i never trusted in no one

You took me to the movies
We’ve been there ever since
I would give you everything
If I’d anything to give

Hey, hey Judas
Hey, hey Judas
What you gonna do now
Hey, hey Judas
Hey, hey Judas

You lie and you cheat but I love you anyhow
You’re the fastest gun in town
I’m the king of following you around
You’re making every card you deal
Breaking hearts at the speed of sound
They say that a fool is a wonderful thing
Guess I’m a fool for all the hurt that you bring
My mind mocks itself as I strive to play
The game I know I’m gonna lose anyway

Hey, hey Judas
Hey, hey Judas
What you gonna do now
Hey, hey Judas
Hey, hey Judas

You’re so cold, callous and corrupted
I’m broken, battered and bloody
Disheveled, distracted and painful
The switchblade eyes of a fallen angel

You took me to the movies
We’ve been there ever since
I would give you everything
If I’d anything to give

Hey, hey Judas
Hey, hey Judas
What you gonna do now
Hey, hey Judas
Hey, hey Judas


7. HOODOO VOODOO

I’m just a low pay paddy
Singing high price blues
My mama told me, my daddy too
That the devil makes work
For idle hands to do

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul
Cuz i’m on a roll

Let the teachers teach
Let the preachers preach
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
Let the chancers chance
Let the dancers dance
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo

Every once in awhile you gotta crash and burn
Down an empty street, ghetto or demolition zone
Some come to town just to see the sights
Some hit the city just to drink and fight

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul
Cuz i’m on a roll

Let the teachers teach
Let the preachers preach
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
Let the chancers chance
Let the dancers dance
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo

When I’m lying alone on this moon-drenched bed
With all possibilities of you in my head
It’s an emotional investment I can’t afford
I know, I know, I know

She’s all 6’s and 7’s and rollin’ 9’s
She don’t go digging for coal
When there’s diamonds in the mine
I called the preacher, I went to churh
He said son you’re gonna get your just desserts

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul
Cuz i’m on a roll

Let the teachers teach
Let the preachers preach
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
Let the chancers chance
Let the dancers dance
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo


8. VALLEY OF THE STONES

I’m a beast of burden
Spent too long at the fair
You can lead a horse to water
But I ain’t going there
I aint going anywhere
The sky don’t look the same
I ain’t going anyplace
Where they try you by your name

Empire’s rise and kingdoms fall
God’s country been condemned
All that glitters has been sold
To buy the living end

I’m spending days alone
Trying to cross the road of bones
Spending too much time on freeways
Through the valley of the stones

I know that you’ve been dreaming
So dream on this awhile
Whatever makes a lover sad
Will make a hater smile
The dice are always loaded
High rollers alway win
I’m tired of cleaning up the mess
You left me standing in

Empire’s rise and kingdoms fall
God’s country been condemned
All that glitters has been sold
To buy the living end

I’m spending days alone
Trying to cross the road of bones
Spending too much time on freeways
Through the valley of the stones

Don’t watch the hand that’s moving
Cuz it isn’t on the gun
Don’t leave a shadow on the floor
Stand sideways in the sun
Ride cut whith the king’s horse
Raise hell with the king’s men
Take flight with everything you own
To the land of vice and zen

I’m spending days alone
Trying to cross the road of bones
Spending too much time on freeways
Through the valley of the stones


9. SOMEDAY SALVATION

Where did all the days go
Did time just steal from us
Hanging out on the corner
Watching it all just turn to dust
Someday salvation
Will get us through the night
Someday salvation
Will make everything alright
Where did all our love go
In those worn out photographs
Like hearts that beat an old refrain
They fade away so fast
Someday salvation
Will get us through the night
Someday salvation
Will make everything alright

You can’t take a leap of faith
If you’re too afraid to fly
Sometimes we get a second chance
Don’t let it pass you by
We will fight, we’ll be strong
And we’ll carry on and on
If we can find some hope in every dream
And make our way back home
Someday salvation
Will get us through the night
Someday salvation
Will make everything alright
Someday salvation
Will be our guiding light
Someday salvation
Will make everything alright


10. BEFORE THE WAR

I don’t know nothing ‘bout nobody or no one
The whiskey keeps me talking ‘til my money’s all gone
The only soul I have is in these worn out shoes
I’m just another monkey that’s on the juice
Now I got a new pair of boots, a rifle I can keep
A tattooed sacred heart, a paycheck each week
I’m a fighter not a lover, a rolling stone
A girl I never met sends me letters from back home

Before the war
I was lost without a sign
Before the war
It was the devil all the time
Before the war
Iwas going out of my mind
Before the war

From cowboys and indians to the pool halls and cinema
I played in the streets, I prayed in the bars
Now I’ll march in time until I can’t dance no more
You don’t know what you lose, when you never ha dit before

Before the war
I was lost without a sign
Before the war
It was the devil all the time
Before the war
Iwas going out of my mind
Before the war

Now listen to me…
If you saw how I used to live, you would have died
Now I got a band of brothers fighting right by my side
I don’t want this war party to come to an end
Cuz back there brutha I’m as good as dead

Before the war
I was lost without a sign
Before the war
It was the devil all the time
Before the war
Iwas going out of my mind
Before the war


11. BLUES AIN’T SO BAD

I’m a lowdown uptown snake cil user
A street philosopher , neon astronomer
I’m a one-shot big town cruiser
And I try again and again
No one knows which way the wind blows
The city smells of desperation
The upset, displaced, rearranged in one damnation
I got to streamline my desorientation
And try again and again and again
No one knows wich way the wind blows

Hand on the knife
Finger on the trigger
One less soul is just one less sinner
The life I choose, is the life I have
Hey don’t you know…
The blues ain’t so bad

All the girls on the corner
They come ‘round here more dead than alive
A day late, a dollar shot, whatever it takes to survive
It may not be freedom but it’s my freedom
And I try again and again and again and again and again
No one know which way the wind blows
Down the backstreets and alleys, it chills my bones
No one knows which way the wind blows

Hand on the knife
Finger on the trigger
One less soul is just one less sinner
The life I choose, is the life I have
Hey don’t you know…
The blues ain’t so bad

No one knows wich way the wind blows

Hand on the knife
Finger on the trigger
One less soul is just one less sinner
The life I choose, is the life I have
Hey don’t you know…
The blues ain’t so bad

Hand on the knife
Finger on the trigger
One less soul is just one less sinner
The life I choose, is the life I have
Hey don’t you know…
The blues ain’t so bad


12. RIGHT TO BE WRONG

I’m gonna kick in your door (you better believe it)
Nail your guts to the floor (you better believe it)
Raise a holler and fuss (you better believe it)
I’m alive and dangerous (you better believe it)
When everything changes into nothing new

I got a right to be wrong
I got a right to sing this song
I got a right to be wrong

Well it’s now or never (you better believe it)
I’ve been ready forever (you better believe it)
I’m gonna stand my ground (you better believe it)
Until you comes around (you better believe it)
When everything changes into nothing new

I got a right to be wrong
I got a right to sing this song
I got a right to be wrong

I know your smiling wherever you are
We’re gonna put up a fight
Take it from the streets
Send into the stars
This is the soundtrack to our lives

I’m gonna kick in your door (you better believe it)
Nail your guts to the floor (you better believe it)
Raise a holler and a fuss (you better believe it)
I’m alive and dangerous (you better believe it)
When everything changes into nothing new

I got a right to be wrong
I got a right to sing this song
I got a right to be wrong
