To the wall of sound
Yeah, and it all comes down

When it all goes wrong
You’ve got to be strong
The rest of the world’s going to shatter

Let the sinners wash away
To the dark of man there’s a ray of light
There begins another day

And it all comes down
To the wall of sound (ooh)

Yeah!

And the battle never ends
And the soldiers never die
And you don’t back down
And you pretend when you look them in the eye

To the wall of sound
Bow down

They talked about me
What could it be
They tried to break me
Never could make me

All those streaks in my hair
People point at me and stare

4. BACK TO THE STONE AGE

Yeah…
In the beginning there was darkness and there was light
At the dawn of creation there was fear in the dead of night
There was thunder, there was flame
The whole wide world is driving me insane

Don’t want to run, don’t want to hide
I keep the fire buring deep inside
I howl at the moon, I pray to the sun
I’ve got a one-way ticket to kingdom come

I’m going back to the stone age
I’m going back where I belong
I’m going back to the stone age
Back where I come from

Telling the world I’m going back where I belong
To a place where the sky is clear, the wind is strong
Climb the mountains, cross the seas
Clear in my soul I want to be free
Sit on the throne, let ‘em kiss the ring
‘Cause I’m a stone age man (yeah)

(I’m the king) back to the stone age
Back where I belong
I’m going back to the stone age
Back where I belong

6. LONG WAY DOWN

Gypsy, has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees
Easy, you smile until she brings you to your knees
Stick around ’til you get the truth
Taste blood when you get your proof (oh yeah)
Find that you’ve never understood
Give it all, but it’s meant for good (oh yeah)

And I know this life makes fools of wise men, thieves, and kings (yeah)
When we lose we live our lives like puppets on a string
Close your eyes and you’ll lose your soul
Do your time, but there’s no parole from here
No chance when the end is near
Hear the words that you never thought you’d hear (yeah)
Life whispers in your ear

It’s a long way down
When ground starts comin’
I tried to tell you, but you would not listen
It’s a long way when you fall from the top

Yeah!

Build it all on a bed of lies
Standing tall ’til you realize you’re here
Look away, but you can’t pretend
Gonna pray for a way when the end is near
Life whispers in your ear

It’s a long way down
When ground starts comin’
I tried to tell you
But you would not listen
It’s a long way
Such a long, long way
It’s a long way down
When the ground starts comin’
I tried to tell you
But you would not listen
It’s a long way
Such a long, long way
A long way down
A long way down
When you fall from the top

8. THE DEVIL IS ME

I ran from temptation
I prayed for salvation (yeah)
I screamed at God
Save me from my own damnation (yeah)
My eyes were cold and blinded
I held the page I could not read
Drew up my blood inside him
I woke up in a sweat
And heard the Lord’s decree

The Devil is me
The Devil is me
I fought myself to be set free
‘Cause the Devil is me (yeah)

I lived in confusion
Choked on my past illusions
I sinned a thousand times
And drank the wine
While screaming out for absolution (yeah)
I stood on mountain broken
I woke up in a sweat
And heard the Lord’s decree

Take a look at yourself and tell me what you see…
The Devil is me

Drew up my blood inside him
I woke up in a sweat
And heard the Lord’s decree

Livin’ life feelin’ out of place

Looking to find my kind

I saw you and I realized
You got the fire burnin’ in your eyes
Let’s get away, leave it all behind
I’m ready to blow your mind

I’ll take you out of this world (to the other side)
On a midnight rocket (’til the morning light)
Going up, going down (it’s gonna be alright)

10. ALL FOR THE LOVE OF ROCK & ROLL

Yeah, yeah,
I was just another child going wild in the city
Just getting by on a dream
I was thinking that was gonna be so pretty, it was pretty mean
Yeah, I hit the road of no expectations
Just leave them where I’ve been
I didn’t care about the fame or the money
Show me a place to ṗay and I wanna go

Cause it’s all for the love of rock & roll
Hear my music in the air, and I’m losing control
I don’t care what you heard, I don’t care what you do
Cause it’s all for the love of rock & roll

I hitched a ride on a train going no where
Got 50 bucks in the bank
Ain’t a lot of dough, but when you know the feeling, well it feels alright
Alright!
When you finish with a bang, and some honey grabs your hand, yeah
You get to thinking you’re right
That’s when you notice there’s a ring on her finger
That’s when she tells you that she’s single tonight

Well it’s all for the love of rock & roll
Hear my music in the air, and I’m losing control
I don’t care what you heard, I don’t care what you do
Cause it’s all for the love of rock & roll

I got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine
Yeah! Watch ‘em dancing in the hays, and the fans really pumping
Feel the rush and that’s all it’s about
I’m in for life, and there’s no getting out of the way

Yeah, all I want, all I need, yeah

Cause it’s all for the love of rock & roll
Hear my music in the air, and I’m losing control
I don’t care what you heard, I don’t care what you do
Cause it’s all for the love of rock & roll
All for my love of rock & roll


11. TAKE ME DOWN BELOW

I saw her standing there accross the room
A glass of wine and some sweat perfume
Next thing I knew
She was standing right next to me (oh, yeah!)
I told her that I had a submarine
She said, “I know exactly what you mean”
I told that my ship was ready to ride
She touched my heart when she touched my thigh

She said, take me down below
It doesn’t matter where we go
Yeah, I understand
Lead me by the hand
Won’t you take me down below (yeah)

I took an elevator late one night
This lady by my side looked like she might
The doors were closing
When I asked her to take a ride with me (come here baby!)
She took my finger, here’s a button to press
I raised my thang and she dropped her dress
I’ll take you on a cruise you’ll never forget
She said, “we better move ’cause I’m already wet”

She said, take me down below (yeah, yeah)
It doesn’t matter where we go (it doesn’t matter where we go)
Yeah, I understand
Lead me by the hand
Won’t you take me down below (take me)

I took a flight at night from east to west
I asked the hostess for my flying test
She threw the covers and we started to rock
She whispered, “you can take me bottom or top” (yeah)

But you just don’t know where to begin (yeah you do)

This is your last chance to get it right
Do your dance on the edge of the knife
It’s your last chance so just roll the dice
‘Cause nobody here is getting out alive

You want it, you need it so get on the ride
