1. MODERN DAY COWBOY

Stormy night under jet black skies Billy pulls into town
Thunder rolls and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, heart of stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell is breakin' loose

[Chorus:]
Bang bang, shoot 'em all, I said bang bang, blow you away
It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the modern day
Come sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow you away

Al Capone and bad boy jones on the wrong side of the law
Johnny Dee and his company, always first to the draw, fataly fa ta ly
Tryin take my Billy's share
'Cos all they saw was ruin it all the scent of blood was in the air

[Chorus]

So here we are and we've come this far but it's only getting worse
Foreign lands with terrorist demands only cause is to hurt
The USA the USSR with their six guns to their sides
I see their message written on the wall too much anger deep inside

[Chorus]

It's a showdown, yeah yeah yeah, ohh


2. HANG TOUGH

Took a shot to the chin.
Looks like you just can't win
In this do or die situation.
And it's harder than it seems
To survive, keep alive and make your dreams,
Make your dreams all come true.

You gotta, you gotta give it your best shot.
Give it ev'rything you got.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Hang tough.

Sometimes love can make you blue.
A heartache made just for you.
But you can't let it bring ya down.
If you should stumble, if you should fall,
Pick yourself up off the floor.
Fight for what's right and stand your ground.

You gotta give it your best shot.
Give it ev'rything you got.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Hang tough.
When the goin' gets rough.
Hang tough. You got to give it all you've got.
Hang tough. Keep your head above the ground.
Don't you let it get you down.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh!

You stay locked away inside your room
'Cause you don't know what this world is comin' to.
Hummingbird hums 'cause he don't know the words
And the piper will play 'cause he don't know what to say.
He's alot like you, yeah. Oh, he's alot like you, yeah.
He tries hard ev'ry day to be free and fly away. Yeah!

Hang tough, oh, when the goin' gets rough.
Hang tough. You've got to give it all you got.
Hang tough. Keep your head above the ground.
Don't you let it get you down.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.

Hang tough. Oh, you got to give it all you got. You gotta
Hang tough. Don't you let it get you down.
Hang tough. No! Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough.
Hang tough!


3. HEAVEN'S TRAIL

You know I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass
Up on the stage I'm in a rage,
I'm havin' the time of my life
Yes, indeed, what a sweet, sweet life it is

Until some loco two-bit floosie with a Louie Le-Strange
Ain't good for nothin' but trouble
They're just two fools livin' up to their names
And now it's startin' to rain on my parade

You know there's nothin' like the real world to get me down
There's nothin' like the world outside
That turns me upside down
It makes me feel like I'm headin'
Down a one-way, dead-end street

[Chorus:]
There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell, livin' hell

You know I had it made in the shade, thinkin' that it's not so bad after all
That's when I woke up, smelled the coffee, I'm back where I started again, yes
And now it's pourin' rain on my parade

No there's nothin' like the real world to get me down, no
One is there to lift you up, one to drag you down
Now, don't you see that we're heading down a one-way,
Dead-end street

[Chorus]

There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell - I guess I'll live in hell

[Chorus]

Yes, it's a beautiful thing
You know, I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass


4. LOVE SONG

Alright! Now this next song,

So you think that it's over, say your love has finally reached the end
Any time you call, night or day,

Time is sure to mend your broken heart
But don't you even worry, Philadelphia, 'cos

Okay, yeah

We're gonna go back there with drums from our heads
So tonight's as good a night as any to try. Help us out


5. THE WAY IT IS

Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the most, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that way at all

[Chorus:]
The way it is, that's the way that it goes,
Happenin' day after day, yes
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the strangest ways

Even though we could never seem to work things out
I still love you just the same, I do
I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes
You're so beautiful, never change!

[Chorus]

What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah
Sometimes it happens in the strangest ways
Sometimes it's hard to believe (do you believe?)
Do you believe, can you believe?

The way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways

Now it really don't matter who, who gets the best of who
It never did and it never will, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, why must it be that way at all?

The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways
That's the way it is, that's the way it is
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yeah

Yeah, that's the way it is, that's the way it goes
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes
I see it happen day after day, yeah, yeah
Now I'm workin' in the strangest ways
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can you believe, do you believe? Do you believe, can you believe?
That's the way it is, that's the way it is, yeah yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yes it do

Alright!


6. SIGNS

And the sign says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair up under my hat and
I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man,
I think you'll do
So I took off my hat, I said
"Imagine that, huh, me working for you"

[Chorus:]
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign says
"Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a fence and keep me out,
Or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of sinner

[Chorus]

Oh, say now mister, can't you read
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no you can't eat,
You ain't supposed to be here

And the sign says
"You got to have a membership card to get inside" - uh!

And the sign says "Everybody welcome,
Come in, kneel down and pray"
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and
I made up my own fuckin' sign
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing fine", oh

[Chorus] (x2)

Yes! Some old song, called "Signs Signs",
I wish we did write that one, but
We didn't - wow!

Alright


7. EDISON'S MEDICINE

You're guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well.
My jury finds you'll be serving your time,
When you go straight to Hell.
Cause he was lord of the lightning
Though socially frightening
But never out to sell.
Their nickels and pence made more than good sense.
And not the sensible thing.

Nor did the man out of time, man out of time
Thought you was crazy you was one of a kind
Man out of time , man out of time
All along the world was wrong, you was right

All that he saw, all he concieved
They just could not believe
Steinmentz and Twain were friends who remained.
Alone among the three
He was electromagnetic completely kenetic
New wizard of the west
But they swindled and whined that he wasn't out kind
And said Edison's best

He was the man out of time man out of time
Thought you was crazy you was one of a kind
Man out of time man out of time
Said you was out of your mind

You took a shot and it did you in
Edison's Medicine
You played your cards but you couldn't win
Edison's Medicine

I spent twelve years of hard time
More like the best years of my life
Never heard or read a single word
About the man and his wicked mind
He'll sell you on Marconi, familiar but a phony
Story goes they sold their souls
And swore that you'd never know

About the man out of toime man out of time
Thought you was crazy you was one of a kind
Man out of time man out of time
Said you was out of your mind

You took a shot and it did you in
Edison's medicine
You played your cards but you couldn't win
Edison's medicine
Thomas A.


8. WHAT YOU GIVE

Who's the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you're livin' for?
Who's the reason for your smile?

I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way.
I love ya so much that I think I'm goin' insane.
I'm goin' crazy, outta my head.
Goin' crazy, outta my head.
Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love,
And what you give.

Now, ev'ry one needs somebody.
And you know, ev'rybody needs someone.
Well, and a-yes it's true!
Ev'rybody needs a special kind of love,
And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of.
You mean the world to me.
You are my only!

I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To carry on this way.
I love ya so much I lose track-a time,
Lose track of the days.
I'm goin' outta my head,
Goin' crazy, outta my head.
Can't think about a-nothin' but your good, good love,
And what you give.

It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
It's only what you give,
Only what you give, only what you give,
It's not whatcha got, a-but the life you live.
It's the life you live.
Play it pretty for the world.

You're the one that makes me happy. Oh yeah baby.
And you're the one always on my mind. And a-yes it's true.
You are my reason, my one and only that I've been livin' for
Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more. (To Chorus)

It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
No, no, no, no, no!
It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
And it ain't what it's not, but a-what it is!

Only what you give, only what you give. It's only what you give
It's not whatcha got, a-but a-what you give.
It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
A-what you give woman.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
It's only what you give,
Only what you give, only what you give,
It's not whatcha got, but a-what you give.
It's only what you give.
Only what you give. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Only what you give. Only what you give.
Only what you give, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that good enough for the girls we run around with?
I do believe so. Ooh, ooh, uh-huh.
Only what you give, what you give. Only what you give.
Only what you give.


9. CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT

I'm in love with a lady and I know
The lady's in love with me.
And she knows that I'll always be there.
That's why she's a-willin' and ready.
But now and then, ev'ry once in a while
Something inside of me, maybe inside of her.
Have you ever had one of those days
When it all is going wrong?
And it just can't seem to get along.
But through it all you know you're gonna make it.

Call it true love, call it not meant to be.
You can call it anything at all, ya see.
Call it what you want.
It's all the same to me.

Music means alot to me.
Like love I make it when I can.
All I am is all I'll ever be,
And that's just a boy from Texarkana.
But now and then, Oh, but once in a while,
They start treatin' me like some kinda superstar.
Need I mention at the end of the day what matters most of all
It's not where you're at, but where you're comin' from.
When all is said and done.
You can call it...

Heavy metal, hard-core, punk, pop, or thrash.
You can call it anything it don't matter to me.
Call it what you want.
It's all music to me.

Call it communism, call it free.
Some call the ocean what some call the sea.
Call it what you want.
It doesn't change a thing for me. Not a thing.

Baby's lyin' in a cradle.
Universe is all within its reach.
Wearin' rags or mink and sable.
Needs a guiding hand or it's out on the street.
Now, momma's out, she's never at home.
Daddy's takin' care of business, he's out on the road.
It's rainin' cats and dogs.
But the child within us all must face the storm.

Call it individuality.
Some call it fate, others reality.
Call it what you want.
It doesn't matter to me.

Call it communism, call it free.
Some call the ocean what some call the sea.
Call it what you want.
It doesn't change a thing for me.


10. SONG AND EMOTION

I see him there most ev'ry day,
A lonely man and his guitar.
In his eyes, I see the pain,
All the faces and the places,
All the trouble that he'd seen.

There was a time,
There was a day,
They'd come from miles around.
They all knew his name.
But day's gone by are gone,
Now only memories remain.

Then he starts to play.
Suddenly the pain slowly fades away.
Tattered, torn and frayed,
There's a place within his heart
He'll always save for the song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day.
Song and emotion.
You can hear him play.
You can still hear him say,
Better run for cover 'cause it looks like rain again!

And now his life is but a shadow of his dreams.
The calm is over, been stormin' for years.
He turns and leans his shoulder to the wind.
Lost again!

All along, on his way to the top,
Somehow, somewhere, something was lost.
Through it all he knew his only friend was
Song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day.
Song and emotion.

Where are they now, where are those people
Who promised him his dreams?
Where are they now for this lonely creature on the streets?
Broken, humbled by the cold reality.
Life at the top ain't always what it seems.
Oh, better run for cover, 'cause it looks like rain again.
You best be careful of what you dream,
Of what you dream!

Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.


11. TRY SO HARD

Oh time well it goes on and on and on again

12. MAMA'S FOOL

Out on the road, and a long long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good
Wish only one time that things would
Turn out like they should
Just like they should

Too many times, too many times payin' the price,
Just for the thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hill

She always told me things,
Like those weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me,
"Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - well I've just been fooled again

Too many lies, shame on the wives,
Too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it
But don't have the time and the words for use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuse

She's always telling me,
"Just take your time, always think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, hell I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no fool

Oh, let me tell you if it happens
Again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!

She's always telling me,
"Take my advice boy and just think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I won't be fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool - I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Crazy but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy but I ain't no fool

Out in the cold, and a long long way from home
