1. Arabian Disco

Has it been so long?
Do you think we know?
Do you think we care?
Die...for the here and now
Do you remember why?
Do you remember how?


Face....out
Stick your chest....out
Stomach....in
That's right


Do you really know
Where the harems go
In the desert snow? Hail,
An oasis dream doesn't really seem
To mean a thing when you're out .... cold


So, hands....up
Put your guards....up
Feet....down
Up....down
Forward....march
Left....right
Cold....cold
I feel cold




2. We Care A Lot (Slash Version)

We care a lot
about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
about Los Angeles falling in the sea
about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
about disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock...Yeah!

We care a lot
about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
about the people who live off the street
about the welfare of all the boys and girls
about you people cause we're out to save the world

Yeah!

And it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!

We care a lot
about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
about the NY, SF, and LAPD
about you people, about your guns
about the wars you're fighting
gee, that looks like fun

We care a lot
about the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
about the little things, the bigger things we top
about you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot

And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it....




3. Anne's Song

"HEY!" WHAT?? "Oh nothing, just wondering why it is you're
doing
that whatever it is you're doing. "Oh yeah, why?" I dunno it
just
doesn't seem like something >you'd< be doing that's all >you<
of all
people, know what I mean? "Yeah I know it's been bugging you
since the
day I was born, huh? I asked my friend Anne about it. I said,
'Anne,
Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, it's been bugging them
since the
day that I was born.' She said 'Do whatever the hell you want
to do!
Now is the time to do whatever you want, and it will still
turn out
great. You've got the world at your feet.'"
I never claimed to be different, I only said I was bored and
she's
tired of your uniqueness, it sends her over head first then
the rest
of her follows, the breath of life, it never left her hol-
low...

I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile.
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne.

Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit Island princess queen with the
juice
What's this? I see she brought her whole uplown contingent.
First there's
Jon E., he always loves a party, he's followed by Vinnie,
who's feelin'
kinda skinny, he says "Hey Anne I'm starved what you got to
eat, she
says "Vinnie you're always starving man get away from that
fridge!
Here comes Lucy, she's feelin' really sexy, she's followed by
her
boyfriend, who'd better not turn around, this time, or he's
bound to lose
her, and here comes Jamilla, who's got the cream soda...

I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne




4. Introduce Yourself

From the day I was born, I took the bull by the horns, and gave you plenty to scorn, well right on!

Then you said in a song that
life was gettin real tough,
but hey I think that you're bluffing,
whatof it?

Introduce yourself (right on!)

Now two decades gone by and I know that's a long time, para tiempo means nada nunca.
Cause I'm still the same asshole and I still wet
my pants every time that I see your face
(who are you?)

Introduce yourself (right on!)

Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall, Hey Mr. Warner what's up?
Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime, Hey Mr. Epic, What's going
on?

Introduce yourself (right on!)




5. From Out Of Nowhere

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare

Obsession rules me-I'm yours from the start
I know you see me-Our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare

One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...

Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare

One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And it hurts inside

One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...




6. Epic

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass

It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it

Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin

It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame

You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?...




7. Falling To Pieces

Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark

Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away

But I know, there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens...
Because I'm somewhere in between

My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together

Layin' face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight

Droplets of "yes" and "no"
In an ocean of "maybe"
From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine

But I know, the equilibrium's there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between

My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together




8. War Pigs (Black Sabbath Cover)

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Yeah!

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes
Yeah!

(Bridge)

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
OH LORD YEAH!




9. The Cowboy Song




10. As The Worm Turns (Live 1990)

One day you're thinking that maybe you're feeling better
And you're probably an OK person, if only you had a job...
Through the hollow tombs can see them
Through their mouths I can hear them praying for pain
But it's only a game

Listen, man, I know
That things are really rough
And everybody gets you
And life is really tough
But I know that deep down inside
There's a feeling that rides
All the way to the end

Thursday you sit in your room with the lights turned out
And you don't answer the door
Friday morning looks sunny and bright
Like it's going to be a good day
And it would be if only you had a job

Time is on your side, you're young
Don't waste your time today




11. MidLife Crisis

Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius

My head is like lettuce
Go on dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I'm thirty-something

Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis
Suck ingenuity

Down through the family tree
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart

It ain't bleedin' enough for two
It's a midlife crisis...
What an inheritance
The salt and the kleenex

Morbid self attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit

A little discipline
Rent an opinion
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument

I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you

Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleedin' enough for two
It's a midlife crisis…




12. A Small Victory

Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser

Yelling with my mouth shut
A cracking portrait
The fondling of the trophies
The null of losing

Can you afford that luxury?
A sore winner
But i'll just keep my mouth shut
It shouldn't bother me

But it does
The small victories
The cankers and medallions
They keep me thinking that someday

I might beat you
But i'll just keep my mouth shut
The little nothings
It shouldn't bother me

But it does
If i speak at one constant volume at one constant pitch
At one constant rhythm right into your ear, you still won't hear

You still won't hear
You still won't hear
You still won't hear




13. Be Aggressive

I started this
It's all for me
What's yours is mine and mine is mine
That's plain to see

So give it up
I've got to have
I swallow, i swallow, i swallow, i swallow

Be aggressive
B-e aggresive
B-e-a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e-

What someone else
Would leave behind
And spit it out, let's go to waste
I claim as mine

You're my flovor of the week
I swallow, i swallow, i swallow, i swallow
Tall and reckless
Ugly seed

Reach down my throat
You filthy bird
That's all i need
This empty pit

I've got to feed
To prove i'm fit
A healthy man
I've got to be

Malnutrition, my submission
You're the master
And i take it on my knees

Ejaculation
Tribulation
I swallow, i swallow, i swallow, i swallow

Be aggressive
B-e aggresive
B-e-a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e-

Go, fight, go, fight, go, fight, go, fight, win




14. Easy (The Commodores Cover)

I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can
You see I beg, stole, and I borrowed

That's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

I wanna' be high
So high
I wanna' be free to know the things I do are right
I wanna' be free
Just me
Oh baby...

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning




15. Digging The Grave

It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes inside
Is only half of what come out
Isn't that what it's about?

To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big, black hole
Comfortable

Digging the grave, I got it made
Let something in or throw something out?
You left the door open wide
I know you have a reason why

That knot is better left untied
I just went and undid mine
It takes some time
And the shadows so big

It takes the sun out of the day
And the feeling goes away
if you close the door
Comfortable

And it's out of this world
Comfortable




16. Evidence

If you want to open the hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence

Wash it away
(Evidence...got a taste of evidence)

I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify;
I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say, we know you're guilty
Hands above your head and you won't even feel me
You won't feel me




17. Last Cup Of Sorrow

This is getting old and so are you.
Everything you know and never knew.
Will run through your fingers just like sand.
Enjoy it while you can.

Like a snake between two stones it itches in your bones.
Take a deep breath and swallow your sorrow tomorrow.
So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.

It's your last cup of sorrow.
What can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me and get on your way.

It won't begin until you make it end.
Until you know the how the where and the when.
With a new face you might surprise yourself.

Like a snake between two stones it itches in your bones.
Take a deeper breath and swallow your sorrow
tomorrow.
So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.

It's your last cup of sorrow.
what can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me and get on your way!

You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself




18. Ashes To Ashes

I want them to know it's me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my head

Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer

Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you

I will let you shout no more
It's on my head
I'll pick you up from the floor
It's on my head
I'll let you even the score It's on my head

Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer

Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you

Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer
Give the same to me then I'll be closer, closer

Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
Give the same to me then I'll be closer




19. The Perfect Crime
