Censorshit

(Joey Ramone)

Tipper, what's that sticker sticking on my CD?
Is that some kind of warning to protect me?
Freedom of choice needs a stronger, stronger voice.
You can stamp out the source, but you
Can't stop creative thoughts.
Ah, tipper come, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, it's just
a smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.
Hey, hey all you, all you senators wiwes,
Better take a good look at your own lives
Before you go preaching to me
Your definition of obscenity.
Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, it's just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.
The irony it seems, it seems to me. It's un-american
policy. Yeah, we've come so far but still only to find
people like you with ignorant minds.
Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, it's just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.
The Job That Ate My Brain

(Marky Ramone/ Skinny Bones)


Out of the bed at 6:15 In a rush and you can't think
Gotta catch the bus and train I'm in a rush feelin' insane
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Go to work, it's such a drag Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie I look so lame I wanna die
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I punch the clock at 9:05 I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me I'm last in line for prosperity
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Five o'clock rolls around I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enought hours in the day There's go to be a better way
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Poison Heart

(Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey)

No one ever thought this one would survive.
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind.
Lock you in a dream, never let you go.
Never let you laugh or smile, not you.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
Making friends with a homeless torn up man,
He just kind of smiles, it really, shakes me up.
There's danger on, every corner but I'm okay.
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
You know that life reallt takes it's and a poets
gut reaction is to search his very soul.
So much damn confusion before my eyes,
but nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'cause everybody has a poison heart.
Anxiety

(Marky Ramone/Skinny Bones)

Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Always stiff, all day long.
Nothing's right till it's all wrong.
It makes no sense until I'm tense.
Always laughing at your expense.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Always biting on my nails.
Always stiff, it never fails.
Now I think I'll pick my nose,
wipe it on my sweaty clothes.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Always screamin' at someone.
Got a temper like a gun.
Hair trigger personality.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me hap-happy.br>
(bridge)
And I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Anxiety keeps me high,
cross my heart and hope to die.
ANXIETY

Strength To Endure

(Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey)

Walking through the cross fire heart
Feeling heavy and hopeless. Wonderin' how I ever
Will see through this darkness.
Every drop of blood can be so beautiful,
And I sure was bleedin' the drops by the bucketful.
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure because... because...
I'm not afraid to tell her just how things work.
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane.
Always looking over my shoulder.
She said, "There's something about you,
And neon lights always glow hot.
Baby we can see this through, just give me
All the strength you've got."
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure because... because...
I'm not afraid to tell her just how things work.
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane.
Always looking over my shoulder.
She said, "There's something about you,
And neon lights always glow hot.
Baby we can see this through, just give me
All the strength you've got."
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure because... because...

Take It As It Comes

(Jim Morrison/John Densmore/Robby Krieger/Ray Manzarek)

Time to live, time to lie.
Time to laugh, time to die
Take it easy baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want
to love to last and you've been moving
much too fast.
Time to walk, time to run.
Time to aim your arrows at the sun.
Take it easy baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want
to love to last and you've been moving
much too fast.
Glorious blow. You like it more and more.
Take it as it comes. Mission lies it anymore.
Take it easy baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want
to love to last and you've been
moving much too fast.
Moving much too fast.
Moving much too fast.
Main Man

(Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey)

When i start movin', you see a blur.
Get hooked on me baby, there ain't no cure.
I've always been able to laugh at fate.
Two brown eyes filled with hate.
I'm the man who makes the street his home
And my lean mean hearts is just as hard as stone.
Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.
Spend my time in a cold jail cell, shootin' up poison
And livin' in hell and I never care what people think,
My history's written on me in tattooed ink.
And still life goes on tracks on my arms,
And the number thirteen is my good luck charm.
Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.
What happens to me is my own affair.
If you don't like me, I really don't care.
'Cause no one's been what I've been through,
And I don't do what people want me to do.
I'll fight you till the bitter end,
And then I'll screw your little girl friend.
Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.
Tomorrow She Goes Away

(Joey Ramone/ Daniel Rey)

Infatuation, she's a fatal attraction
Hang around, screw up my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

Danger's intriguing, but I don't want to die
Got to leave this psycho behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay
I Won't Let It Happen

(Joey Ramone/ Andy Shernoff)

Got my sights, baby, set on you
The things she said, well, maybe they're true
But it's not gonna happen I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen Not again
Easy come, easy go, easily
But that's not how I want it to be
It's not gonna happen I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen Not again

Sitting all alone by the telephone
When are you coming home When are you coming home
Hey!
Easy come, easy go, easily
But that's not how I want it to be

And it's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen I won't let it happen
Not again Not again Not again Not again
Cabbies On Crack

(Joey Ramone)

Got into a cab, Broadway, 59 Took off like a blast
Almost lost my mind - oh, oh, oh

Cabbies on crack

It first felt like at thrill ride Excited for a while
Got pretty scary swerving at 100 miles an hour - oh, oh, oh

Cabbies on crack
I want to get out, out of this yellow shell
I want to get out, crack cabbies straight from hell

And I don't wanna die before I live
Cabbies on Cabbies on crack

Cabbies on crack Want my money back
Disco blasting out, Stomach in my mouth - oh, oh, oh
Cabbies on crack

Times Square was approaching He braked for the light
At 90 miles an hour, flashed by, I saw my life - oh, oh, oh

Cabbies on crack
I want to get out, out of this yellow shell
I want to get out, crack cabbies straight from hell

And I don't wanna die before I live
Cabbies on Cabbies on crack
And I don't wanna die before I live
Cabbies on Cabbies on crack

Cabbies on crack
