The Ride
03:32
|
|||
|
I'm gonna go for a ride
Ride to the other side
Down to the edge of town
This place is my play ground
She's got her sheepskin on
Runs like automaton
The street's my autobahn (pre chorus)
I never asked for the fame or the money or the drugs
All I need are two wheels and a long winding road (chorus)
Girls wanna tag along
But they won't last as long
Come morning I'll be gone
With my only love that's life long
pre chorus
chorus
I've got her covered in dust
She didn't cost me much
Her carbureted thrust
Is thumping her exhaust
pre chorus

You´re Going Down
04:04
|

|
I will destroy it all, just to see you fall
You’re going down (chorus, x3)
Yeah you had a good run, but now I'm ending your fun
Chorus (x2)
We've had peace for too long, hear my declaration
Chorus (x1)
I will set the table, I'm both... willing and able
(It's) been a long time coming, but now they'll see you crumble
(I) cut your ruling short - get out now... yeah!
Chorus (x1)
All of you that's left - try your luck and... death!
Chorus (x2)
I have destroyed it all, and now I've seen you fall
Chorus (x3)

Replaced by Diversity
04:53
|
|||
|
What you said was fake, rejected everything sacred
And now our land's being raped (chorus)
You were on a quest, yeah you called it progress
You said the world was unfair
Then you were taught it was the white man's fault
And to oppose no one dared
chorus x2
Had a proud past but the verdict's been cast
You said they would integrate
We're going down fast hope you'll see it at last
Let's hope that it's not too late
chorus x2
The few and the greedy benefited from your mindless deeds
You bit the hand that feeds you now society's in need because of you (bridge)
(You) said gay was straight (that) opposition was hate
Invented a space that was safe
You'd taken the bait and left open the gate
(In) diversity's name you're replaced
chorus x2
Always found it lame I'm supposed to be ashamed
Of being straight white and proud
Your cause is going down, there's a new king in town
We're plenty we're angry we're loud
chorus x2

The Truth
04:42
|
|||
|
Hey little girl you're neither smart nor pretty
Right now you're perfect to me
I want your body, wanna squeeze your titty
There's no way we will always be
Look into my eyes
I'll tell you sweet lies
The truth is not quite as nice
Hey little girl you asked me where do we stand
I did not know how to act
Always cuddlin' walkin' round holdin' hands
You wanted the love that I lacked
The game that I played
Was just to get laid
That is the truth I'm afraid
Hey little girl there was no way I could sense
(That) you'd had enough of my game
You wanted none of my making amends
Entirely mine was the blame
Could not realize
Thought I was a prize
The truth was not quite as nice

I'm the Head Honcho
04:35
|
|||
|
I'm the head honcho
stay out of my way
now I've come to old Mexico, boy
and I've come here to stay
I've crossed the biggest ocean
climbed the highest mountain top
Yeah, I've slain the golden dragon, child
carried on when you gave up
All the boys wanna be like me
All the girls wanna be with me
They all agree when they hear me sing
That I’m the king, of every living thing, give me your worshipping (chorus)
I'm the head honcho
I don't pray to your gods
I don't live by your rules, either
your way of life full of frauds
Have your Benzes and your Lexus
and a career that's for fools
I'd rather hop on my motorcycle, baby
I guess that makes me old school
Chorus
I'm the head honcho
I don't pray to your gods
I don't live by your rules, either
your way of life full of frauds
I've crossed the biggest ocean
climbed the highest mountain top
Yeah, I've slain the golden dragon, child
carried on when you’da stopped
I'm the head honcho
no man is my master
try to bend the head honcho, lord
(will) get you ridiculed and laughed at
I don't care about fashion
I carry a uniform
I'm all brains, balls and muscle, baby
no need for me to conform
Chorus
All the boys wanna be like me
Yeah, they all wanna dress like me
They wanna be influential like me
Cause I’ll have it my way, remain the same and I will never change
All the girls wanna be with me
Yeah, they all wanna be seen with me
They all want to attend to my needs
Cause I’m the man and I don’t give a damn, but you wouldn’t understand
I’m the head honcho
Notorious head honcho
Born in battle, head honcho

The Ramblin' Kind
03:29
|
|||
|
She said I love you, I do
I can't believe that we're through
Please stay I'll take care of you
Truth to be told is, lord, I wanted to
(I) was looking for an adventure
A million miles away
Maybe I should have kept her
But I was bound to stray (chorus)
Tears were running down her cheek
But I was worse off, you see
I thought that ramblin' made me free
Thought that the road was where I wanted to be
chorus
Now she's married to another man
I keep on running as far as I can
Can't seem to find my peace of mind
Curse of the gods is (that) I'm the ramblin' kind
chorus
Baby I know we could have made it
We could have settled down
No other way to phrase it:
I'm the ramblin' kind

Home to Mama
04:30
|
|||
|
Ma, I’ve been thinking as of late
Was it a choice or was it fate
That I would have to emigrate
And leave you waiting by the gate
My choices may not have been great
My hurting you does not equate
That I don't care, that I'm ingrate
I hope to some day compensate
I'll be going home
Home to momma
I wanna bring her flowers
She's so unlike all the others (x2, chorus)
Now, I don't mind them calling me names
To me it's really all the same
But ma' I would be set aflame
(If) They tried to put you to shame
I know that I'm the one to blame
My immature search for acclaim
I'm roaming restless without aim
But now I'm happy to exclaim
Chorus

Your Spirit is Dead
05:09
|
|||
|
Your spirit is dead
You look east, you look west
The answers aren't there
And the truth is too heavy to bear - you know it (chorus)
You spent your life in line
Just don't break out you should be fine
(Your) whole life they've fed you lies
But seeing them through - would not be wise
They came to legislate
Said freedom was breeding hate
That they would not tolerate
A crack to their wall
chorus
Fool’s gold was calling you
It cost you your soul, your ambition
Just when the itch came back
They promoted your ass - to supervision
They gave you just enough
To fall back in line and shut up
But no one'll remembers you -
(You) gave your life to the man
Chorus

Cheap California Wine
03:37
|
|||
|
(Cheap) California wine and whiskey
It's Wednesday night I don't know what hit me
She's beyond her prime but still pretty
(We're) bohemians without responsibilities
She don't mind if I'm just wasting her time
She'll do fine in helping me to unwind
Cause she has (chorus)
(Cheap) California wine and whiskey
It's Wednesday night I'm alone, come with me
My friends have settled down but I'm a gypsy
Can't find a way of life that fits me
chorus
Cheap California wine and whiskey
chorus
Cheap California wine and whiskey

Whole Lotta Rockin'
05:55
|
|||
|
Whole lotta rockin', we'll be playing you a little blues
No one lives forever so who cares if we've been acting like fools
Whole lotta rockin' cause the head honcho's on the loose – loose caboose
Come on now
Get outta that chair
To all the honeys out there
Come on shake your hair
Come on now
(Act) Like you don't care
All the honeys out there
Come on if you dare (chorus)
Lost my way in GOT I ended up in ol' GTO
I'm a long way from home I found a place in ol' Mexico
You say I'm wild, I'm outrageous, (but) I don’t mind cause I'm a pagan son – on the run
chorus
So dear sir lock up your daughters, don't let your wife outta your sight
That whole lotta rockin' will make all them girls go wild
After a while she'll have a head honcho bastard child – she just might
chorus
Have a beer have a whiskey we'll supply you anything that you need
When our band starts playing you want more, yeah you start feeling greed
Whole lotta rockin' we'll keep playing til' your eardrums bleed – yes indeed
chorus x2

All of Your Money
04:39
|

|
I never knew what I wanted to do (x3)
But that's cool
You're spewing venom like a rattlesnake
You're poisoning my whole life experience (x2) - bridge
Run run Honey - we're through
Take all of your money - with you - chorus
I never wanted to be true to you (x3)
Now we're through
Bridge
