And you say there ain't nothing here for me
And you tell me I'm wasting my time
Can't play a natural role with my lady
Got to just take my place in your line
Now you listen to all that I'm saying
I'm a free man and I'll show you how
There ain't no politics that I'm afraid of
And I may just eat your sacred cow

Listen dumb punk I'll rip out your spine
If you rouse me from fantasy land
You live your life and I'll live mine
Or things won't turn out the way you planned
You know your intrusion's untimely don't you
I'm a free man and in my own land
I'll treat my woman the way that we want to
She is my woman and I am the man

If I give you my passion and freedom
If I send you my love for yourself
You'd just screw up and sow your foul seeds on
Virgin pastures and children of hope
Now you listen to all that I'm saying
I'm a free man and in my own land
I'll rip your spine out to show I'm not playing
So you'd better move on as fast as you can

. . .


Jimmy Jimmy in your red brick city
Take a look around you
Jimmy Jimmy ain't you got no pity
That ain't the way I found you

Just when things get settled down
And the road is wide and endless
That's when I start looking around
And I start to feel so restless

Jimmy Jimmy with a bag ful o' money
Why don't you please remember
Jimmy Jimmy now your life's so sunny
How was it last December

When you hid your pain and you smiled in the rain
And to give up was just senseless
But when the kids in the street saw you draggin' your feet
Then we started to get restless
When we helped one another and you were my brother
Then you really were the greatest
And now you're making hay but you look the other way
Hey Jimmy I'm getting restless

Jimmy Jimmy feeling good feeling pretty
Take a look around you
Jimmy Jimmy come on back to the city
Back to where I found you

. . .


You fine men of war
You hearts of oak
You men of war
Which fires are you gonna stoke

Why did you deceive us
With your fine tales of glory
Did you have to deceive us
It's such a shame and a disgrace for you

Brave man of war
You hearts of oak
You men of war
How I despise you you are just smoke

Your cause is like lightning
As we spring from your clutches
The effect is quite frightening
It kills all that it touches
You were sent to teach us
Little children in white
But all you did was bleach is
Whiter than white

. . .


Sunbeam
Slipping out in the ocean
Sunbeam
You're realy feeling the motion

Sunbeam
Riding out on the sea
Sunbeam
Show me how to be free

Lay my dreams in your cradle
Little boat so carefully made
I'll stay with you if I'm able
Never go away
Sunbeam
Lighting up in my sky
Sunbeam
My trouble passing you by

High in the fish's haven
They await the Sunbeam
The day feels good at seven
When they spot the Sunbeam

. . .


I've got to travel tonight
Get on the first available flight
There's someone hot on my tail
Who's blowing up a mess of my gale
I'm all tied up
With bad news that's heading my way
I just can't breathe
There ain't no place I can stay

It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
She just won't let me out of sight
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
She's laughing in the dead of night

This place is hotter than hell
I don't believe the feeling in here
I know I'm running away
But I can't live my life in fear
I can't look back
Cos I know you're standing right there
I'm getting clean away
Cos you make me feel so scared

It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
She just won't let me out of sight
It's a nightmare, it's a nightmare
She's laughing in the dead of night

. . .


Hadely Bop Bop
You gotta stop lying to me
Hadely Bop Bop
You know I just can't believe
You laid the farmer's daughter
And she never died of laughter

Hadely Bop Bop
You talking 'bout the things you got
Hadely Bop Bop
You're knocking me down don't stop
We're going out tonight
You got to travel light

Hadely Bop Bop
You're living in a wonderful dream
Hadely Bop Bop
We all understood what you mean
You're the king of all the kings
The lord of all them rings

. . .


I have had enough of this here life of fun
There have been too many of those days in the sun
I am just one
Soon I'll bee none
Life goes on
Life goes on

Who do you pray for
The living or the dead or the dreams in your head
You know it's hurting me now
It's causing me pain
I can't go through it again
It must be better on the other side
Where your head is held
In hands so soft
You know you're part of
Someone else's plans

I am so depressed I must be in a bad dream
There is no use thinking of what might have been
I am just one
Soon I'll be none
Life goes on
Life goes on

Who shall I stay for
Offer me a hand and I'll be your man
Oh yes it's hurting inside
Causing me pain
I can't go thru' it again
It must be better on the other side
Where the cool and gentle water
Eases your earthly pain
And doesn't try to explain

. . .


PART ONE

You take a piece of wood
You join it to another
Piece of wood and then
You do it all again
Until you've got a house
A little wooden house

You get a piece of land
Or just a patch of forest
Where you hunt some meat
So you can sit and eat
And when you're warm and fed
You can go to bed

For this you were born to kill

You find a woman who
Will make you feel so good
And she will share your life
And will become your wife
And when you're warm and fed
You can go to bed

For her you were born to kill

It's just a simple life
And when your children grow
And they just want to play
In golden fields of hay
And when the sun goes
The light from your house glows

One day a band of strangers
Knock you to the ground
And take your land from you
Your wife and children too
Tears and blood will mix
You can fight guns with sticks

For this you were born to kill

Life brings
Confusion
Conscience conscious
Mankind
The futurists
The forward path's
Locked in our past
When wise men
And leaders
Sent our young braves out
To the hills
To test their skills
To become stronger
Live much longer
For peace and stillness
They were born to kill

PART TWO

Hear the bastards screaming
They wake you from your dreaming
Can you feel it
Primitively
Positively
Definitely
Just protection
Born to kill
Natural selection
Born to kill
Sophistication
You don't have to cry
Racial menstruation
You don't have to die

Hear the sound of firing
It's politics expiring

PART THREE

It's your house
It's your life
Your kids and wife
Extensions
Of your own seed
Just how far
Do you need to breed
So draw the line
With reason
And understanding
But be sure
That you're not part
Of someone else's
Private planning
Life brings
Confusion
Conscience conscious
Mankind
The futurists
Sent our young braves out
To the hills
To test their skills
To become stronger
Live much longer
We were born to kill

. . .


I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat it
They warned me of my fate, but I was quite prepared to meet it
You'll go to Hell they smiled at me
And told me of the roaring fires
But I was happy living wild
And fueling my own desires
I was a wild man
Drinking, smoking and messing around with women
Lots of women
No, not swimming, women

I wanna go to Heaven
The place to be is right up there
I wanna go to Heaven
It's gonna be good so I won't despair

I decided to reform and pray
Beg mercy for my soul
I prayed in church
Threw away my bad habits
Prayed out of church
Adopted an entirely different role
I gave my money to the poor until I was poor
But at least I ensured that I would go up there
Instead of down below to the Inferno
Where the evil flames of desire
Burned higher and higher and higher

I'm gonna go to Heaven
Paid my dues so I'm getting in
I'm gonna go to Heaven
It's looking good if I abstain from sin

I knocked on the pearly gates
Neatly side-stepping the long queue
Waved hi to St. Peter
Who checked my card and let me through
I smiled, threw my hands in the air
Laughed and got arrested
They said hey man, you're in the wrong place
Your behaviour is a disgrace
Here we pray every hour, on the hour
Read extracts from the Bible and look solemn'
What, says I, no party?
No party?
Let me out

Let me out of Heaven
I got it wrong, no I can't stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Let me out, I just can't stay here

Well I ran around in the state of shock and panic
This wan't what I expected
Here was what looked like a bunch of manic depressives
Can I get a transfer, I screamed
But no, once you're in Heaven, you're here for good
The good of your soul, but that's no good for me
If you want to go to Hell you've really got to be bad
Okay, okay, I'll be bad
Too late
What do you mean too late
Too late
No
In the meantime

Let me out of Heaven
I've got it wrong, no I can't stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Oh God, it's awful here
Going crazy in Heaven
Take me out and let me go to hell
No laughing in Heaven
Don't laugh, this place is Hell

Little John took the easy way
He said bye bye to the light of day
He didn't need a gun and all
He went flying and he took a fall
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way, no no no

I could have told you there's no easy way
You've got to face it there's no easy way, no no no

Little Ann took the easy way
She said take the money and run away
Lie down and look away
Save the money for a rainy day
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way
Every day is a rainy day

You are so lovely, you are so beautiful
Please don't cry, please don't be miserable
You may have problems and you may want to die
But please don't worry, let it all pass by
There's no easy way to shake off sorrow
But maybe the only way is to think about tomorrow

. . .


Well,
If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
'Cause I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Yes I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

Ive never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I dont take no orders
From no kind of man
I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it on alone
My name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
'Cause I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Yes I'm evil, baby, so don't you mess around with me
I said I'm evil, baby, don't you mess around with me

Mutually Assured Destruction

I could believe in you
The way you left me hot and helpless
I could believe in you
The way your kisses left me hot and helpless
I could believe in you
I want you
If you believe me
I'll stay with you
But if you deceive me
I'll kill you

I feel so lonely
Since you've gone
I feel so lonely
I want you back
If you believe me
I'll never let you go
If you believe me
I'll never let you go
But if you deceive me
I'll let you go

. . .


I said a hey, hey, hey yeah
I said a hey, hey, hey yeah
Well come on everybody take a trip with me
Well down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
The Honey Suckle's bloomin' on the Honey Suckle vine
And love is a blooming there all the time
You know every Southern Bell is a Mississippi Queen
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah
I said a hey, hey, hey yeah
Well come on everybody take a trip with me
Well down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Oh well the magnolia blossom fills the air
If you ain't been to heaven then you ain't been there
You got French Moss growing from big oak tree
Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans

I said a hey, hey, hey yeah
I said look out child yeah, yeah, yeah
I said a hey, hey, hey yeah
I said hey
