UNHOLY
[Gene Simmons]
I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus
i lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies,
you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
Unholy - Unholy!
(Instrumental break)
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!!

TOUGH LOVE
[Paul Stanley]
I wanna take you down, until the morning light

You said I should be gentle and be good, but hoped to
hell I would be bad
Chorus:
I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme tough love
C'mon and please me, take your time and tease me,

sighing please

I never knew how much I needed you till now
But now I know, and tonight I'm gonna show you how

GOD GAVE ROCK 'N' ROLL TO YOU II
[Paul Stanley]
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to
you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to
you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to
you
Put it in the soul of everyone
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I
gotta tell ya!"
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to
you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to
you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the
song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to
everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the
song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for
everyone
Saved rock and roll
chorus repeats out...
"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know
life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been
given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
DOMINO
[Gene Simmons]
"Now lemme tell ya my story, I got a man-sized
predicament
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah"
My my, ow, yeah!
Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino
Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of
death
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got
me by the balls
They call her Domino - "so fine"
Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to
vote
Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit,
bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good
They call her Domino, Domino, Domino
(Instrumental break)
"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's
the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name -
ow!"
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got
me by the balls - ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad
habit, she's a bad habit!
"Yeah"
HEART OF CHROME
[Paul Stanley]
You better listen up, since you screwed me you've been
on my mind
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin'
fine
Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy and I think about
you all the time
I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was
There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice
because
Chorus:
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar (and now you're gonna see, that since you
messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
For your heart of chrome
Yeah, you really made a fool outta me
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind
to see
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold 'em to
the BBC
You told me people can't be trusted, you gotta watch
the things they do
But if you still believe in justice, I'm gonna give it
to ya, give it to ya
Ooh!
chorus
(Instrumental break)
You told me lies about all that you feel
I realize now that nothing was real
You took everything you could beg borrow steal
chorus repeats 2x
THOU SHALT NOT
[Gene Simmons]
I lived most of my life in New York City
Born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen
Jack"
Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your
past"
And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my
ass"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want -
"Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need -
"Thou shalt not"
Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy
Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't
the son of God
And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in
hell! Yeah!"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want -
"Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need -
"Thou shalt not" - yeah
"Thou shalt not" - gotta live my life -
"Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I please -
"Thou shalt not"
Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah
And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his
knees
'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
(Instrumental break)
'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want -
"Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - oh, yes I do - "Thou
shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - I'm gonna live my life -
"Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I choose -
"Thou shalt not"
You got that right.
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU
[Paul Stanley]
Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your
heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know
where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along
the way
Chorus:
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin'
thru, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told
you, seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came
apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still
believe in me
chorus
It's gonna take a little time to show you, just what
you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need
to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
(Instrumental break)
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can
still believe in me
chorus
You're everything to me, you're everything to me
PARALYZED
[Gene Simmons]
Who cares, I'm in a trance, I got no hope, I don't
stand a chance
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who knows, well I don't care, 'cause I don't fit in
anywhere
But it's all right, yes it is all right
Well, I'm numb but that's my style, I've been numb for
a little while
And it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to
say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Chorus:
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been
lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me
paralyzed
Who says I have to pay, I didn't want this anyway
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who says life is good? "Love thyself", well
I never could
But it's all right, yes it is all right
I'm here dressed in black, waiting for a heart attack
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I try to talk, I just can't speak, the urge is strong,
but my brain is weak
And it's all right, yes it's all right
chorus
(Instrumental break)
And who says life is good? "Love thyself",
well I never could
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to
say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been
lobotomized, I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin'
otherwise, I'm paralyzed
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been
lobotomized, I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin'
otherwise, I'm paralyzed
I JUST WANNA
[Paul Stanley]
I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion
Yeah I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for
some action
I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you
could never see that
Chorus:
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just
wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna
forget you
I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman
Candle
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot
to handle
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll
Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to, baby, I'm
just tired of you, yeah
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just
wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna for
I just wanna forget you
(Instrumental break)
Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one
more week
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more
day
I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy
breathing
Gettin' stone cold crazy till the dawn without a
reason
I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of
track
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you
could never see that
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I don't want a romance, or a second chance
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I just wanna for, I just wanna forget
chorus repeats 2x
I just wanna forget you, yeah!
