1. STAY HUNGRY
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
(Dedicated to Arnold Schwarzenegger)
Are you feeling the fire, are you ready to explode?
Are your dreams and desires riding down an open road?
I'm like a runaway, a heart without a home
Others can laugh and play
I'll fight for every inch I take, I'
m desperate to the bone
CHORUS:
Stay hungry, feel the fire
Stay hungry, don't explode
Stay hungry, with desire
Stay hungry, you're alone
Be the hunter and the hunted, keep your target in your sight
Don't be side tracked or shunted, let pretenders feel your bite
And if you start to slide never show you're weak
Don't feel you've got to hide
Remember what you're fighting for, remember what you seek
REPEAT CHORUS
Alright
[Solo] - Jay Jay
If your fire is faded and you can't feel it no more
If you're tired and overrated, let me show you to the door
Expect no sympathy, there's none to be had
Open your eyes and see
There's no room for the wannabees, the has beens or the bad
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
##########################################################
2. WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
CHORUS:
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
We've got the right to choose and there ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just, don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, you're so condescending, your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing, from you
Your life is trite and jaded, boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do
RELEASE:
Oh
Oh
We're right, yeah
We're free, yeah
We'll fight, yeah
You'll see, yeah
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
No way
[Solo] - Eddie
REPEAT RELEASE
REPEAT CHORUS
We're not gonna take it (no)
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore (just you try and make us)
We're not gonna take it (come on)
No, we ain't gonna take it (you're all worthless and weak)
We're not gonna take it anymore (now drop and give me twenty)
We're not gonna take it (a pledge pin)
No, we ain't gonna take it (on your uniform)
We're not gonna take it anymore

3. BURN IN HELL
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
[Introduction] - Eddie
Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there's no work or play, only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say as you go down, down, down
You're gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell
You can't believe all the things I've done wrong in my life
Without even trying I've lived on the edge of a knife
Well, I've played with fire, but I don't want to get myself burned
To thine own self be true, so I think that it's time for a turn
Before I burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell
Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see
It's black and it's dark, now is that how you want it to be?
It's up to you, what you do will decide your own fate
Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late
And then you'll burn in hell
CHORUS:
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free
[Solo] - left: Eddie, right: Jay Jay
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free (you're gonna burn in hell) (2x)
REPEAT CHORUS
You're gonna burn in hell
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me

4. HORROR-TERIA (The Beginning)
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
(Dedicated to Stephen King - thanks for the inspiration)
A) CAPTAIN HOWDY
Oh, it's so nice to see you all inside my dreamy little world
And it's so nice to be with all you lovely little boys and girls
Make yourselves comfortable, my place is so devine
Don't you think I'm wonderful? Say yes! You're on my time
CHORUS:
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
Stay away
From Captain Howdy
Don't try to leave, the doors are locked and only I have got the key
Forget the windows, they're nailed shut and boarded up so you can't see
You'll love the light show, oh, I'm sure you'll think it's swell
When they go off, you're welcome to my living hell
REPEAT CHORUS
[Solo] - Eddie
Come here, my sweet
Let me help you with that
There, that's better
I'm overjoyed at all the games I'm playing here with you today
But I'm so sad the party's over and we can no longer play
You think you're going home to your own little bed
But that's impossible, you can't sleep when you're dead
REPEAT CHORUS (three times)
B) STREET JUSTICE
(words & music: D. Snider)
It happened in the broad daylight
So unexpected came the knife
A child's scream sliced through the air
But no one came or seemed to care, no
The man's description did little good
A local stranger from the neighborhood
Those little kids, oh, he left behind
With their mangled lives and their tortured minds
Since he didn't seem to care, then don't you think it's only fair
Call for street justice
Let no mercy show
Call for street justice
Don't let him go
The man was caught and brought before a judge
Who had just returned from a three drink lunch
His lawyer screamed "you must set him free"
And off he went on a technicality
Since the law don't seem to care, then don't you think it's only fair
Call for street justice
Why should parents cry?
Call for street justice
How many have to die?
[Solo] - Jay Jay
The mob assembled, smoke filled the air
And marched in anger to do what's fair
To bring to justice this souless thing
And show the others what evil brings
Now before you shake your head, think if it was your child instead
Call for street justice, tell me what you'd do
Call for street justice, pray this isn't true
Call for street justice, why should parents cry
Call for street justice, how many have to die
Call for street justice, when slime escapes the law
Call for street justice, we'll even up the score
Call for street justice, let no mercy show
Call for street justice, please don't let him go
[End-fill] - Eddie

##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
CHORUS:
I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
Turn it down you say
But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it
There's only one thing I can say to you
REPEAT CHORUS
There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the power up
I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so, let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather do
REPEAT CHORUS

I wanna rock! (rock)

6. THE PRICE
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
How long I have wanted this dream to come true
And as it approaches, I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh, how I've tried
For a life, yes a life, I thought I knew
CHORUS:
Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life until it's done
Time seems to have frozen but the mind can be fooled
As the days pass I discover, destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times, oh, hard times
For the prize, yes the prize, I thought I knew
REPEAT CHORUS
[Solo] - Eddie
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
##########################################################
7. DON'T LET ME DOWN
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
Look at you, you're my dream
Are you all that you seem?
Now you have what I need and what I believe
Don't tell me you'll lose it, 'cause I'll have to leave
CHORUS:
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
What do I have to give
Until you let me live?
You're all that I work for but that's not enough
Do I have to die too to show you my stuff?
Well, I give you my best
So, why don't you understand?
I'm passing the biggest test
So, don't cry, lend a hand
REPEAT CHORUS
[Solo] - left: Eddie, right: Jay Jay
Head held high, heart in hand
Flesh and blood, make a man
If that disappoints you, well, what can I say?
I don't want you to hurt, I just want to play
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't let me down, no, don't let me
Don't let me down, no
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, no, no, no, no
Don't let me down, no
##########################################################
8. THE BEAST
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
You can hear the thunder long before the storm
But you can't hear the lion when he stalks his prey
He's moving like a shadow, creeping up on you
And like a siren's call he's gonna have his way
You'd better run, forget your pride
Don't make a stand, just step aside
If you don't have what it takes, don't try to play, you'll lose your stakes
Remember this at least
CHORUS:
It's the nature of the beast
It's the nature of the beast
You won't hear a footstep comin' up on you
Movin' like a snake he's in complete control
This killer knows his business, he is the predator
You are his only target, you're his only goal
What will you say, what will you do?
Your wildest nightmare's comin' true
There is nothing you can say, no way to change, he won't delay
This cain will have his feast
REPEAT CHORUS
[Solo] - Eddie
If you play you're bound to lose, don't roll the dice, don't turn the screw
Just listen to the priest
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
##########################################################
9. S.M.F.
##########################################################
(words & music: D. Snider)
Black sheep of the family, nothing like the rest
Separate from the others, failing all their tests
Can't they see you're different, so hungry and so lean
You're a walking wonder, you're a metal machine
Look and you'll see you're alot like me
CHORUS:
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.-M.-F.
Caught up in their worries and tomorrow's dream
Missing all the living, milk without the cream
They think you're so foolish, living for today
Caring just what you think, not what others say
Join with us, oh, how they'll scream and fuss
REPEAT CHORUS
[Solo] - Jay Jay
We're the ones that live it, we're all really free
And if they think that we're sick then sick is what we'll be
Scream it loud, Know what you are, be proud
REPEAT CHORUS
