Radio ga ga
Tear it up
It's a hard life
Man on the prowl
Machines (back to humans)
I want to break free
Keep passing the open windows
Hammer to fall
Is this the world we created…?
Radio ga ga
[Instrumental Intro]
(Radio)
(Radio)

[Verse 1]
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

[Verse 2]
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly (Radio)
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

[Pre-Chorus]
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (Radio)

[Chorus]
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio goo-goo, radio gaga
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

[Verse 3]
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you, we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual

[Pre-Chorus]
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (Radio)

[Chorus]
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio goo-goo, radio gaga
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio goo-goo, radio gaga
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(Radio gaga, radio gaga)
(Radio gaga, radio gaga)
(Radio gaga, radio gaga)

[Outro]
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (Radio)

[Instrumental]

Tear it up
[Intro]
Are you ready?
Hey, are you ready?
We're gonna turn it up!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Turn me loose, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woo!

[Verse 1]
Hey, give me your mind, baby
Give me your body
Give me some time, baby
Let's have a party
It ain't no time for sleepin', baby
Soon it's round your street I'm creeping
You better be ready

[Chorus]
We're gonna tear it up, stir it up
Break it up, baby
You gotta tear it up, shake it up
Make it up as you go along
Tear it up, square it up
Wake it up, baby
Tear it up, stir it up
Stake it out, and you can't go wrong
Hey! Listen

[Verse 2]
I love you 'cause you're sweet
I love you 'cause you're naughty
Yeah, I love you for your mind
Baby, give me your body
Oh, I wanna be a toy
At your birthday party
Wind me up, wind me up
Wind me up, let me go
Yeah

[Chorus]
Tear it up, stir it up
Break it up, let me go
Tear it up, shake it up
Make it up as you go along
Tear it up, turn it up
Burn it up

[Outro]
Are you ready? (Oh yeah!)
Baby, baby, baby
Are you ready for me? (Oh yeah!)
Baby, baby, baby
Are you ready for love? (Oh yeah!)
Are you ready, are you ready
Are you ready for me? (Oh yeah!)
I love you so near, I love you so far
I gotta tell you, baby
You're driving me ga ga
Tear 'em up
Tear it off
Yeah, let's go
Woo!
What are you doin' to me?
Ha!
Woo! Yeah, yeah
Oh baby, baby, baby let's tear it up
Woohoo!

It's a hard life
[Intro]
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living
With a broken heart

[Verse 1]
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah, I fell in love
But now you say it's over
And I'm falling apart
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever
In each other's hearts
It's a long, hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another
Right from the start
When you're in love

[Verse 2]
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone

[Pre-Chorus]
How it hurts (Yeah) deep inside (Oh yeah)
When your love has cut
You down to size
Life is tough, on your own
Now I'm waiting for something
To fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love

[Chorus]
Yes, it's a hard life
True lovers together
To love and live forever
In each other's hearts
It's a long, hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another
Right from the start
When you're in love
[Guitar Solo]
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]
(Yeah!) It's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching
For love in every way
It's a long, hard fight (Hard fight!)
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself
And say I did it for love

[Outro]
Yes, I did it for love
For love
Oh, oh, oh I did it for love

Man on the prowl
[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm gonna take a little
Walk on the wild side
I'm gonna loosen up and get me some gas
I'm gonna get me some action
Go crazy, driving in the fast lane
My baby left me alone
She done me dirty and I'm feeling so lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
So come home, come home
If you don't you're gonna
Break my heart

[Chorus]
Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I am on the loose and I am
Looking for trouble
So look out, look out
I'm a man on the prowl

[Verse 2]
I don't want to be a rock and roll steady
I just want to be low down trash
I wanna go to the movies
All I wanna do is sit on my ass
So honey, come home
Don't leave me when I am
Feeling so lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
Come home, come home
If you don't you are going
To break my heart

[Chorus]
Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I'm on the loose and I'm
Looking for trouble
So look out, look out
'Cause I'm a man on the prowl

[Bridge]
Well, I keep dreaming about my baby
But it ain't gonna get me nowhere
I gotta teach my baby dancing
But I am not Fred Astaire

[Outro]
So baby look out
I am a man on the prowl
Look out
Man on the prowl, yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, baby look out
Man on the prowl
Baby come home
I am on the loose and I'm
Looking for trouble
Baby come home, oh yeah
'Cause I am a man on the prowl
So honey come home, come home
'Cause I am a man on the prowl, yeah
Man on the prowl, yeah, hey
Steady there
Loosen up, whoo!
Wow!

Machines (back to humans)
[Intro]
Machines, machines
Machines, machines
Machines machines
Machines, machines

[Verse 1]
It's a machine's world
Don't tell me I ain't got no soul
When the machines take over
It ain't no place for rock 'n' roll
They tell me I don't care
But deep inside I'm just a man

[Chorus]
They freeze me, they burn me
They squeeze me, they stress me
With smoke-blackened pistons
Of steel they compress me
But no one, but no one
But no one can wrest me away
Back to Humans

[Bridge]
We have no disease
No troubles of mind
We are fighting for peace
No regard for the time
We never cry, we never retreat
We have no conception
Of love or defeat

[Verse 2]
What's that machine noise?
It's bytes and mega chips for tea
It's that Machine, boys
With random access memory
Never worry, never mind
Not for money, not for gold, yeah

[Chorus]
It's software, its hardware
Its heartbeat, is time-share
It's midwife's, a disk drive
It's sex-life is quantized
It's self-perpetuating
A parahumanoidarianised
Back to Humans
Back to Humans

[Post-Chorus]
Back to Machines
Machines, machines
Machines, machines

[Outro]
Living in a new world
Thinking in the past (humans)
Living in a new world
How you gonna last? (humans)
Machine world
Yeah
Yeah
Change
It's a Machine's world, woo!
Yeah I'm coming!
Yeah, woo!
Back to Humans
Hey, yeah
Ha ha ha
Back to Humans
Living in a new world
How you gonna last?
Machine world
It's a Machine's world

I want to break free
[Verse 1]
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

[Verse 2]
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

[Bridge]
It's strange but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
Oh, how I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free

[Verse 3]
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby, can't you see?
I've got to break free

[Outro]
I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

Keep passing the open windows
[Intro]
This is the only life for me (Yeah)
Surround myself around my own fantasy
You just gotta be strong
And believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness
'Cause love is all you need
Love is all you need

[Verse 1]
Do you know what it is like
To be alone in this world
When you're down and out
On your luck and you're a failure?
Wake up screaming
In the middle of the night
You think it's all been a waste of time
It's been a bad year
You start believing
Everything's gonna be alright
Next minute you're down
And you're flat on your back
A brand new day's beginning
Get that sunny feeling
And you're on your way

[Chorus]
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows

[Verse 2]
Do you know how it feels
When you don't have a friend
Without a job and no money
To spend, you're a stranger?
All you think about is suicide
One of these days
You're gonna lose the fight
You better keep out of danger, yeah
That same old feeling
Just keeps burning deep inside
You keep telling yourself
It's gonna be the end
Oh, get yourself together
Things are looking better every day

[Chorus]
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
[Pre-Chorus]
This is the only life for me (Yeah)
Surround myself around my own fantasy
You just got to be strong
And believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness
'Cause love is all you need

[Chorus]
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
You just gotta be strong
And believe in yourself
Forget all the sadness
'Cause love is all you need
Love is all you need
Baby, love is all you need

[Chorus]
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
[Outro]
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows
Just keep passing the open windows

Hammer to fall
[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light, yeah
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight, yeah

[Chorus]
(You don't waste no time at all)
Don't hear the bell, but you answer the call
(It comes to you, as to us all)
Yeah, we're just waiting
For the hammer to fall, yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh, every night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the Western Way
Build your muscles
As your body decays, yeah

[Chorus]
(Tow your line and play their game)
Yeah, let the anaesthetic cover it all
('Till one day they call your name)
You know it's time for the hammer to fall, yeah

[Bridge]
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth is all the same
Yeah, baby (Oh no, oh no)
Oh, lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane (Oh no)
Baby, baby, now your struggle is all in vain

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
For he who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder
And louder and louder

[Chorus]
(What the hell we fighting for?)
Oh, just surrender and it won't hurt at all
(Just got time to say your prayers)
Eh, while you're waiting
For the hammer to, hammer to fall

[Outro]
Hey, it's…
It's gonna fall
Hammer, you know
Yeah, hammer to fall
Woo! Yeah, yeah
Woo, woo!
Ha, yeah, waiting
For the hammer to fall, now baby
Yeah, yeah
While you're waiting
For the hammer to fall, ooh
Give it to me one more time!

Is this the world we created…?
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Just look at all those hungry
Mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

[Chorus]
Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created

[Verse 2]
You know that everyday
A helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care
Inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man
Is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky, looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?
