Eat the Rich    (Perry/T/V, 5:08)

Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin'
About all those things you said
About ordinary people
And how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you
I hope this does the trick

'Cause I'm sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of your bitchin'
'Bout your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife

Eat the Rich:  there's only one thing they're good for
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich:  I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now, spit out the rest, uh huh

So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you'd best go on a diet
Yeah I hope you have some fun
And a-don't go burst your bubble
On rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get no trouble
When you eats that kind of food

Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' at the yacht club
With Muff and Uncle Biff
There's one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls aside
Their attitudes may taste like shit
But go real good with wine

Eat the Rich:  there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich:  I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now, spit out the rest, uh huh

Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache
From eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritance won't last
So take your Grey Poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass!

Eat the Rich:  there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich:  I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now, spit out the rest

Eat the Rich:  there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the Rich:  take one bite now - come back for more
Eat the Rich:  don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
Eat the Rich:  that's my idea of a good time baby



Love in an Elevator    (Perry/Tyler, 5:25)

Workin' like a girl for the boss man
Workin' for the company
Bettin' on the dice I'm tossin'
I'm gonna have a fantasy
Where am I gonna look?
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
To read between the lines

Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up while I'm goin' down
Love in an Elevator
Lovin' it up till I hit the ground

Jacki's in the elevator
Lingerie second floor
She said, "Can I see you later
And love you just a little more?"
I kinda hope we get stuck
Nobody gets out alive
She said, "I'll show ya how to fax in the mail room, honey
And have you home by five"

Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up while I'm goin' down
Love in an Elevator
Lovin' it up till I hit the ground
In the air, in the air
Honey, one more time now it ain't fair
Love in an Elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm going down

Lovin an....
Elevator
Going down

Love in an Elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up till I hit the ground

Gonna be a penthouse pauper
Gonna be a millionare
I'm gonna be a real fast talker
And have me a love affair
Gotta get my timin' right
It's a test that I gotta pass
I'll chase you all the way to the stairway, honey
Kiss your sassafrass

Love in an Elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an Elevator
Lovin' it up till I hit the ground

Do you care?  Do you care?
Honey, one more time now it ain't fair
Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down

Yeah, do you care?
Honey, one more time now it ain't fair
Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down

Air, in the air, honey one more one more one more one more
Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down

Yeah, in the air, honey one more one more one more one!
Love in an Elevator
Livin' up when I'm goin' down

Yeah, in the air, honey one more one more one more time
Love in an Elevator

Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Air, in the air, in the air, in the air

Love in an Elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down



Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)    (Ballard/P/T, 3:17)

You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad

You think you're in love
Like it's a real sure thing
But every time you fall
You get your ass in a sling
You used to be strong
But now it's ooh baby please
'Cause fallin' in love is so hard on the knees

You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad

We was makin' love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid he was takin' aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone else's name

There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees

You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad

Chip off the old block
Man you're so much like your sister
My fantasize it must me out of luck
My old libido has been blowing a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a fuck

Yeah

I'm Jonesin' on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees

I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

What are you looking for
It's got to be hardcore
Must be some kind of nouveau riche

Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash

Own it own it own it

You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad

You ain't that good
Is what you said down to the letter
But you like the way I hold the microphone
Sometimes I'm good but when I'm bad
I'm even better
Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own

There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees

I'm Jonesin' on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will yeah
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees



Same Old Song and Dance    (Perry/Tyler, 5:32)

Get yourself cooler lay yourself low
Coincidental murder with nothing to show
The judge constipation will go to his head
His wife's aggravation you're soon enough dead

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
No smoothy face lawyer to getcha undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
you could look but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story same old song and dance

Fate comes a knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connection
Change your direction
You ain't gonna change it
Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when
It's all the same to you my friend

When you're low down and dirty from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy no one to meet
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song same old song and dance



Hole in My Soul    (Child/P/T, 5:35)

I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
The punishment sometimes
Don't seem to fit the crime
Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
So you tell me how it's gonna be this time

Is it over?
Is it over?
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause

There's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

I'm as dry as a seven year drought
I got dust for tears
Yeah I'm all tapped out
Sometimes I feel broken and can't get fixed
I know there's been all kinds of shoes
Underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on
But you're still in my head
And something tells me this time
I'm down to my last licks

'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear
I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

There's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, is it over?
Yeah, it's over
And I'm blowing out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear
I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

There's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh...



Monkey on My Back    (Perry/Tyler, 4:07)

Woe is me
Well I been dyin'
Got to get that monkey off my back

The fortune teller looked into my eyeballs
The wrinkles on her face about to crack
She said ' you best believe it,
You ain't goin' nowhere, unless you get that
Monkey off your back'

I made believe the devil made me do it
I was the evil leader of the pack
You best believe i had it all and then i blew it
Feedin' that fuckin' monkey on my back

If you put it a spoon man i would boot it
Some king whose mental house was just a shack
Where do you draw the line when all your friends are dyin'
You got to get that monkey off your back
Uh, uh, uh....

Your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon
She said, 'now' i bring me home his head inside a sack
But now you find your crystal balls are dragin'
Got to get that monkey off your back



Livin' on the Edge    (Hudson/P/T, 5:20)

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes

We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

We're livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin' dim
There's meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I

Chorus:
We're livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawlin'
Back again?
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hangin' on

Chorus:
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge

Chorus:
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge



Cryin'    (Perry/R/T, 5:48)

There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Now listen
All I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do - down on me

Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same

It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do to me

'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
If you give your heart away

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me,
baby, baby, baby

I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery...



Rag Doll    (Knight/P/T/V, 4:12)

Rag doll, livin' in a movie
Hot tramp, Daddy's little cutie
So fine, they'll never see ya
Leavin' by the back door, man

Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby won't you do me
Like you done before

I'm feelin' like a bad boy
MMM just a like a bad boy
I'm rippin' up a rag doll
Like throwin' away an old toy
Some babe's talkin' real loud
Talking all about the new crowd
Try and sell me on a old dream
A new version of the old scene
Speak easy on the grape vine
Keep shufflin' in the shoe shine
Old tin lizzy do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin'
Get ready for the big time
Tap dancing on a land mine
Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin'
Old tin lizzy

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin'
Get ready for the big time
Get crazy on the moonshine
Yes, I"m movin', I'm really movin'

Sloe gin fizzy
Do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery



Angel    (Child/Tyler, 5:37)

I'm alone
Yeah I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears
And the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love,
Let's break the wall between us
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough
I've suffered and I've seen the light

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it alright
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight

Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feeling inside
Yes, It's true loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love I'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone,
What can I do?
I'm sleepin' in this bed alone

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby

You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it alright
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight



Janie's Got a Gun    (Hamilton/Tyler, 5:04)

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun.
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue.
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me.
The man was such a sleeze.
He ain't never gonna be the same.

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Because Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun



Amazing    (Supa/Tyler, 5:15)

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through
The pain

When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I
Would die

(Chorus)
It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay
Alive

It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
