I've been cheated
Dirty luck, tied me to an anchor
Faster, deeper
It's sinkin' to the bottom
And it's pullin' me down

Barely breathin'
Venom fear is seepin' thru my veins
Hope lies bleedin'
But a bugle's blowin' reveille inside of my heart... it's singin'

RISE, RISE
Rise, rise... you gotta
RISE, RISE
Get up and fight...c'mon and
RISE, RISE • Rise, rise... you gotta
RISE, RISE
Rise tonight

Demons screamin'
They're in my head
Tryin' hard to break me
Faith's my freedom
And a bugle's blowin' reveille inside of my heart... it's singin'

FIVE TO NINE

There's no escapin'
No Way
I got a blue collar noose around my neck all day
For 8 hoursI'm a slave
A dancin' puppet up on someone else's stage

It doesn't matter • I don't need nine to five cuz I got five to nine...

Whoa, yea five to nine is mine
I tell the boss to kiss my ass it's party time
Have a drink or two and lose my mind
Whoa, yea five to nine is mine

A couple dollars
That's all
I barely make enough to pay off my four walls
And nothin' changes
Work's a bore
Everyday's an instant replay of the one before

COLOR ME FIRE

Showdown!
Ready aim the party's startin' now
Standin' up together I know we can build the better bomb
We'll blow their fuckin' sky to pieces
Make 'em stop and finally see it clear
A kamikazi generation
Rock-n-roll united nation's here...

Throw me in the line of trouble
I don't need to see no caution lights
Show me where the action's hidin
I was born to burn not sleep at night
I wanna be the fire
Color me fire

Wake up!
Take a look around you this is war
Power in the hands of cowards
Holdin' back what we been fightin' for...

Get up!
Freedom is the music that they fear
A kamikazi generation
Rock-n-roll united nation's cheer...

YOU ARE THE ONE

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think we can agree
What we got ain't ordinary
You and I are there for each other all the time
I can't believe that we're just friends
That's why I wanna say somethin' that's been on my mind
Somethin' that I haven't told you yet
Ever since we met you have had a hold on me
Baby I just can't break free

I can't think, I can't sleep
You're inside of me so deep
Can't ya see, what you're doin' to me...

You are the one who drives me crazy
You are the one that's got me high
You are the one and I don't mean maybe
Baby, you're the one

Now ya know it all, nothin' left for me to say
I got nothin' more to hide
So baby go ahead, lay your lovin' on the line
Shoot me down or rescue me

MOKUR JAHOOBEES

Gimme one... two... honey dews per lady
Ya gotta love a big, ripe beautiful pair
I say rack 'em, stack 'em
It's fun to unsnap them babies
Glory be to the hills and the mountains fair...

If you like them big say, “Yeah!”
The bigger, oh the better they get
Hot damn, yes mamms
Come on ladies • Show us your...

Well there's B, C, the double D's my favorite
They got me thinkin' 'bout a Brunswick bowlin' bag
I like nature, plastic they're all fantastic baby
Glory be to the hills and the mountains fair...

I CAN'T FIGHT YOU

I skip a heart beat
Every time I think your name
You been a dark cloud
Hauntin' my tomorrows
I stand in your rain
You are the fire
Smokin' me and chokin' my dreams
But you're the one place
One place I can never leave

Can't ya see?
Baby I'm a bleedin' stone
Dyin' here alone

I can't fight you
I can't say, "No"
I shouldn't like you
But I can't let go

Go on and hate me
Take me out of my misery
I can't escape you
Ya gotta push that knife into me

I can't fight you
I can't say, "No"
I shouldn't like you
But I can't let go
I got mud on my face
I got blood on my sleeves
You got a fuse in my heart
Go on blow me apart
I can't fight you
I can't let go

Ya see me waitin' to catch you
But you ain't lookin' to jump
I oughta throw ya off a building right now...

RESCUE ME

My life was a Sunday river ride
Sailing me through clear blue skies
I'd killed off all the clouds with my convictions
Couldn't get much higher...
Then a big black bird came swoopin' down
Snatched my dreams up in his mouth
He looked me in the eye and left me blinded
Then he flew away...

Now I need someone to rescue me
Pull me out of this cold sea
Rescue me
Who's gonna rescue me?

These days the nights roll on like years
I sit here trapped inside my fears
Keep busy countin' cracks across the walls
My faith's paralyzed...
There ain't no religion, no disguise
To hide the way I feel inside
No I can't find the strength to face the mirror
I'm so alone...

Oh the sun is settin' on my world
I need a mojo magic superhero
Who'll rescue me
Rescue me
I guess by now it's safe to say
No cavalry is on the way
There's only me, myself, and I
I'm up against a wall

I can lay my head and die
Or I can scream my battle cry
And go rescue me
Times like these teach us to see
The heroes we were born to be
I gotta rescue me

TWICE

The bottom line tonight is don't say, "No"
Live the music, let the whiskey flow
Pass the bottle with a couple of friends
And when it's empty fill it up again...

Look around
Ya see once won't fly tonight
Because once
Once ain't wild as twice
Ya want twice
Ya need twice
Do it twice

Pissin' money at the nudie show
She takes ya in the back to docee-do
Ya tap the daisy for a second fill
And if she won't ya find another lady who will...

THE ALMIGHTY STRUT

Louder than a cannon
When I blast off in the night
Kickin' down my own black highway
Burnin' like a rescue flood light
I was born relentless
Never did learn how to quit
My heart it beats invincible
Listen to it

I'm a chain reaction
I'm a lightnin' rod
An atomic cowboy walkin' tall
The almighty strut

No it ain't an earthquake
Shakin' up your rusty town
That'd be my footsteps fallin'
See the walls come crashin' down
I bleed inspiration
Don't preach no paper lies
I walk the walk
Tell me who's on my side?

SOMETIMES IS ENOUGH

There ain't nothin'
I'd ever do
To try and lead you astray
Backseat woman
You been around
You know the way this thing is played
We ain't love, we ain't romance
We ain't no bottle of wine
Cheap like Night Train
That's you and me
I thought we'd drawn that little line...

(But) you been hangin' on me, bangin' on me
I can't breath
Sometimes is just enough
Enough for me
I never said we'd ever be together all of the time
Sometimes is just enough and that's no lie
I ain't lyin' baby...

I'll kick your tires
Light your fires
We'll run the night down for a thrill
No sunrises
No fairy tales
No happy house up on a hill...

You been hangin' on me, bangin' on me
Leave me alone
Sometimes is just enough
Ain't ya got no home?
I never said we'd ever be together
All of the time
Sometimes is just enough
Baby that's no lie

HAMMERED

Hey mister radio
We need it loud
I think we're fadin'
So help us out
Shot through some bottles
Crossed a liquor sea
From mighty kings
To hands and knees

The devil's pourin' tonight
We're gettin' hammered like a railroad spike
Nothin' matters, all we are is gettin' hammered
Everybody's gettin' hammered tonight

The night is spinnin'
A merry-go-slide
That started low
And finished high
Ain't lookin' pretty
Ain't walkin' straight
Gonna fill the levee
Until it breaks

I
