Monday, Monday mornin'
And I'm shakin' off the beer
Workin' got me jerkin'
Pissed away another year
And they're takin', what I'm makin'
Tryin' to keep myself alive
I'm a loser, I'm a bruiser

Hard Times

Hard Times

Hard Times
Blood is what I'm givin'
But all they want is cash

Well they pay me by the hour
But it's gone in just a flash
Think they own me
Can't control me
For no small amount of cash
I am tension, I am wrenchin'
I am part of a machine
When I check out, there'll be no doubt
I'm the worst they've ever seen

Hard Times
Tryin' to earn a livin'
Hard Times
How long can they last
Hard Times
Blood is what I'm givin'
But all they want is cash

Hard Times
Tryin' to, tryin' to, tryin' to, tryin' to
Hard Times
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long
Hard Times
Blood is what I'm givin'
But all they want is cash
The almighty dollar
All they want is cash

Everything ain't what it seems, in this world of broken dreams
And the things they tried to teach you sure ain't what you've seen
But you make it all seem right, when you whisper in the night
Won't you wrap those colored arms around me, hold me tight
Hold me near, thru the years, thru the fears, thru the tears
Well it makes me wanna shout, with the crap they're dishin' out
You're the only one that seems to make it all work out
And you're always by my side, puttin' up with foolish pride
When the day to day fiascos all get multiplied
You're the heart, you're the soul, when the world takes its toll

The load's getting lighter when I'm in your arms
Just squeeze a little tighter when I'm in your arms
In Your Arms, In Your Arms

With my back against the wall, well you keep me standing tall
When I stumble, you are always there to break my fall
When I'm far away from home, I can call you on the phone
Well I hear your voice and suddenly I'm not alone
All the words, that you say, makes the miles drift away

'Cause the load's gettin' lighter when I'm in your arms
Just squeeze a little tighter when I'm in your arms
'Cause it all seems so easy, when I'm in your arms
Just hold me tight and squeeze me, when I'm in your arms
In Your Arms

You take me, far away from there, when you hold me in your arms

Everything ain't what it seems, in this world of broken dreams
And the things they tried to teach you sure ain't what you've seen
In the dark, in the night, in your arms, it's alright
You're the heart, you're the soul, when the world takes its toll

'Cause the load's gettin' lighter when I'm in your arms
Just squeeze a little tighter when I'm in your arms
'Cause it all seems so easy, when I'm in your arms
Just hold me tight and squeeze me, when I'm in your arms

'Cause the load's gettin' lighter when I'm in your arms
Just squeeze a little tighter when I'm in your arms
'Cause it all seems so easy, when I'm in your arms
Just hold me tight and squeeze me, when I'm in your arms
In Your Arms, In Your Arms, In Your Arms, In Your Arms
				

In the mornin', I hear an empty sound
Like a lonely highway, in a lonely town
Was it mercy, like a dog found in a road
Was it loneliness, I just gotta know

From the Start, there's a tear in my heart
And it cries for the better things
From the Start, there's a tear in my heart
And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken
From the Start

Like a candle, in a summer rain
Will it kill the fire, will it douse the flame
Know the passion, can you feel the fire
Did you really want me, was it mere desire

From the Start, there's a tear in my heart
And it cries for the better things
From the Start, there's a tear in my heart
And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken

Like sugar held from a children's reach
Like the empty shells that was upon the beach
We were hoping we'd find our fortune there
But a fool's reward, something never shared

From the Start, there's a tear in my heart
And it cries for the better things
From the Start, we were drifting apart
With your eyes you would start to sing this sad song
From the Start, there's a tear in my heart
And it's drippin' down the edges that were broken
				

Gotta big monkey and he's on my back
It's warmer than china, it's better thatn crack
It's burnin' like fire, it's takin' my soul
So damn addicted to rock-n-roll
All my life's a mere distraction
I'm about to lose my mind
I just want some kind of action

Rock-N-Roll State of Mind

White boys stole it back in '55
Turned in to disco in '75
Said it all started with blue suede shoes
For years brothers called it just rhythm and blues
But the king's the main attraction
Makin' kids just lose their mind
White folks had a strange reaction

Rock-N-Roll State of Mind
Rock-N-Roll State of Mind

Money can't buy it 'cause it can't be sold
If you say it's too loud, then you're too f***in' old
Package it pretty and make it so slick
They know what you're sellin'
They know every trick
Kids just want some satisfaction
Kids just want to lose their mind
You can tell by their reaction
I'm in a

Rock-N-Roll State of Mind
Rock-N-Roll State of Mind
State of Mind
State of Mind

It's American made, motorheads delight
I pray to Henry Ford, each and every night
It's a big block banger, and I keep it clean
'Cause I never let corrusion get in my machine

Gotta big fuel pump, stick shift too
Let me show ya honey, what my rod can do
Well it's ready to run at the drop of a hat
It can shoot the hole in no time flat

Girl let me Drive It Home
Don't want to drive alone
Girl let me Drive It Home
A ride like you've never known

Like to pump it myself, I'm a self serve man
And I love to have its juices run all over my hand
I can get my tool in the tightest space
Love to crawl underneath her, have it in my face

Girl let me Drive It Home
Don't want to drive alone
Girl let me Drive It Home
A ride like you've never known

It never stops for nothin'
Runs on domestic beer
It makes your heart start pumpin
I'll show ya how to steer
Just park it over here, just park it over here
You always gotta space in my lot

Baby lift your hood wontcha let me see what's under there
Baby lift your hood wontcha let me see what's under there
Baby lift your hood wontcha let me see what's under there
Baby lift your hood wontcha let me see what's under there

It's American made, motorheads delight
I pray to Henry Ford, each and every night
Got big ball joints, to take the curves
I can take ya to the redline if you got the nerve
Got an oversived piston, makes the gear box scream
And it slides through the cylinders like a dream

Girl let me Drive It Home
Don't want to drive alone
Girl let me Drive It Home
A ride like you've never known
Gonna drive it, gonna drive it, Drive It Home
				

I live my life in Midtown
It's halfway 'tween here and there
I spend my time in Midtown tryin' hard to really care
Cheap intoxicated showdown
Cardboard corrugated dreams
Brothers givin' you the lowdown
He says, he don't fit into their schemes
So what's the use of keeping clean

In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall

You see 'em hangin' in the doorways
Peerin' out with neon eyes, they're lookin' at ya
Someone's hangin' in the hallways
Habits hard to subsidize
Well it comes as no surprise

In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall

I pray to God in Midtown, semi-automatic faith
He'll be hangin' out in Midtown
He'll be tryin' to find a trace
Pickin' thru the human waste

In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall

In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall
				

Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down
And the Cajun Panther wanders thru your town
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
The Cajun Panther, she's black as night

Well the telephone rings, and the t.v.'s on
Someone's at the back door, writin's on the wall
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
The Cajun Panther, she's black as night
Cajun Panther, she's a black-eyed woman, Cajun Panther

Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down
And the Cajun Panther wandered thru my town
She's an animal, a beast unleashed
Well my flesh and blood was her feast
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Talkin' about, talk talkin'
Cajun Panther, Cajun Panther
She's a black-eyed woman
She's an animal, Cajun Panther, Cajun Panther
				

Tryin' to make a silk purse from a drunken pig
Just because the masses do it, don't mean that it's hip
You can lead a whore to culture
But you cannot make her think
You can try to give her champagne
But a beer's her favorite drink

Baby you are outta luck
Baby dontcha know that I'm

Stuck on
The Wrong Side Of The Tracks
When ya cross them baby
Can't ever go back

Class I got a ton of, even though it's all low
When it comes to bad behavior, you know I steal the show
Like to scare the next door neighbors,
Bring the property values down
What was once a little mansion
Well it seems so damned runned down

Baby you are outta luck
Baby dontcha know that I'm

Stuck on
The Wrong Side Of The Tracks
When ya cross them baby
Can't ever go back

If my music makes me money
And it brings me lots o' cash
Will they call me nouveau trash

'Cause I pull up on my Harley
Not a Jaguar or a Benz
I'll be tearin' up the golf course
With all my drunken friends

Baby you are outta luck
Baby dontcha know that I'm

Stuck on
The Wrong Side Of The Tracks
When ya cross them baby
Can't ever go back

Yeah I'm stuck on
Wrong Side Of The Tracks, Wrong Side Of The Tracks
Wrong Side Of The Tracks, Wrong Side Of The Tracks...
				

Sunshine, blue skies please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain

'Cause so badly
I wanna go outside
But everybody knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen I gotta cry
'Cause cryin' eases the pain
People this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain
How I wish it would rain

How I wish that it would rain
How I wish that it would rain

Day in day out my tears they fade
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the sky desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide the teardrops
And no one will ever know that I'm cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
How I wish it would rain

How I wish that it would rain
How I wish that it would rain

Sunshine, blue skies please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain

How I wish that it would rain
How I wish that it would rain
How I wish that it would rain
How I wish that it would rain
				

Look at Little Queenie, ain't she somethin' to see
She's a slice of heaven, kinda sugary
Well she's so quick when she sets her sight
The venom hid in denim makes it hard to fight

Little Queenie, Little Queenie

I said to Little Queenie, why ya pickin' me?
I ain't got no money, in these torn up jeans
She said "Money, it don't mean a thing
I'll be your Little Queenie, will you be my king?'

Little Queenie, Little Queenie
What Little Queenie wants, Little Queenie gets
And Little Queenie wants to take ya home

Little Queenie wants her cake, and she'll eat it too
She'll lick the icin' off the candle when her meal is thru
She said "I'm so stuffed, boy you sure can bake
Now Little Queenie's oven wants another cake"

Little Queenie, Little Queenie
What Little Queenie wants, Little Queenie gets
And Little Queenie wants to take ya home

Said goodbye to Queenie at the mornin's rise
She grabbed me by the collar, looked me in the eyes
She said "Hold on, baby not so fast
If you're gonna be the first, you gotta make it last!"

Little Queenie, Little Queenie
What Little Queenie wants, Little Queenie gets
And Little Queenie wants to take ya home

Little Queenie, Little Queenie
What Little Queenie wants, Little Queenie gets
And Little Queenie wants to take ya home
