Power to the.........
Good evening people welcome to my party
Bring on the night lets get it started
You want blood on the stage baby you got it
I welcome all the people who truly been my friends
Fuck all the bitches that broke my heart again
Love all the women who made my head spin baby
Because they love me ..
I can make the sun go down and I say give the power to the people, people
Boss man is someone who always try to break me
Sick mofos always gotta take me
In this arena only you can make me
Sex and violence hate love and rage
I'm pacing like a beast locked in a cage
I'mma comin I'mma comin I'mma comin of age
But I know you want me
I can make the sun go down and I say give the power to the people, people
I am the sound and I am the lights
You are the power that gives me the right
Together we own the night
So good evening people welcome to my party
Bring on the night we can get it started
You want my blood on the stage baby you got it.
Yes we know we love this
Yes we know we want this
I can make the sun go down and I say give the power to the people
I can make the sun go down and I say give the power to the......

My chick is driving me crazy
She thinks that I'm lazy
Just because I'm good at nothin all day
My baby don't get it
So my job I quit it
Bust my ass hell I barely get paid
People like to put me down
Just because I hang around
Don't they understand it’s my way
Say I say
CHORUS:
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
Baby you just can't bring me down
Can't bring me down
Baby I'm leaving
You got my heart bleeding
So I'm taking the easy way out
The angel in my head's now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout
Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you cause it just don't stop
I think I'm going out of my brain
I say
CHORUS
CC get down
I got a car it goes fast
Keep fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker
Just say PEACE
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain
Can't you love me just the same
Can't you love me just the....
CHORUS
CHORUS

When I lost my way you were my light
When the others wronged me you did me right
When I look in your eyes don't tell me lies
You tell me the truth your words they get me through
This is all I've got
This is all I'll say
If this were my last day
CHORUS:
This is my last song
It's all I've got
If bare my soul
Don't you break my heart
Won't you sing along
This is my last song
It's all I've got
So don't you break my heart
Wrote down these words put them in this song
I play it for you pray they don't come out wrong
Cause all I've got's my world
I give it to you
Now it may not be much
It's the best that I can do
This is all I've got
This is all I'll say
So please don't walk away
CHORUS
If this were my last breath of my last day
And my last chance
This is what I'd say:
I thank you for the laughter
Sorry for the tears
Time to say good-bye
I say good-bye
After all these years
CHORUS
CHORUS
You shouldn't have broke my heart

I was heading down the highway and she's going my way
She climbed in next thing I knew
We started laughing, smoking, we got to talking
Yeah we've both been hurt a time or two
I knew she didn't love me
But I didn't think she'd want me no
Right there she took me
Underneath that sun we became one.
She said:
CHORUS:
Life's a little strange
We all need a little strange sometimes
I'm a little strange
A lot like you
Let's Ride
Half way to Boston she turned down the radio
Asked what I was looking for
Then I looked in her eyes
For the first time I realized I really didn't know anymore
Sometimes I think I want true love
But most times I feel like there's noone
But in the meantime hold me tight
Things will be all right.
I said:
CHORUS
I pulled along the highway
The time had come to go our way
She took my hand, looked my eyes and said
I want you to hold me one more time.
She said:
CHORUS
She said:

In one ear and out the other
Told myself this girl was trouble.
Yeah
Everyone that looks at her has tragically got struck in love
CHORUS
Wait a minute
The chick's got me addicted
I hate her so
Even though I wish she was my girl
I hate every bone in your body but mine
I can't wait till I can hate you tonight
Never thought I'd understand
But she's too good but not for just one man, yeah
Round and round and round she goes
And who she's with don't wanna know
CHORUS
I hate every bone in your body but mine
I can't wait till I can hate you tonight
In one ear and out the other
Told myself this girl is trouble
Round and round and round she goes
And who she's with don't wanna know
Yeah Yeah Yeah
CHORUS
I hate every bone in your body but mine
I can't wait till I can hate you tonight

I went to bed too late and got up too soon
My poor head still spinnin' from too much booze
I got a foot in the gutter a foot in the grave
I ain't seen home in the last three days
CHORUS
Oh my god look what the cat dragged in
Livin' my life sin after sin
Night rolls up and I do it again
Oh my god, look what the cat dragged in
No tell, motel, hotel bed
If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead
I got a girl on the left of me
a girl on the right
I know damn well I slept with both last night
CHORUS
I'm late for work on Monday and my boss is bitchin'
Can't get out of bed cause my head's still spinnin'
My hair's in a rat's nest, I look like hell
Half alive or half dead, I just can't tell !!
CHORUS
. . .

I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
I grab my hat and I grab my shoes
Tonight I'm gonna hit the streets and cruise
Down the main strip and check it out
With those schoolgirls a hangin' around
Now I'm a sucker for a pretty face
I don't care if she's in leather or lace
cause I'm just lookin' for a little kiss
CHORUS
I want action tonight
satisfaction all night
You've got the love I need tonight
Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I can't wait to get my hands on them
I won't give up until they give in
Now I'm not lookin' for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her
CHORUS
Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause there's something back there I want to show ya
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Ah, come on honey, I wasn't that bad!
Ah, well
CHORUS
CHORUS

Will I see him on the TV preachin' 'bout the promised land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember, in a war he can't forget
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"
CHORUS
And give me something to believe in if there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror mirror on the wall sees my smile it fades again
CHORUS
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then road you gotta take me home
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose, so few win
CHORUS
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
. . .

She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and a devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."
In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love
why don't you swallow this."
CHORUS
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up
She gets so close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, so soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, right down the street
All night we play the horizontal bop right between her sheets
CHORUS
CHORUS

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
But somehow the lights didn't
shine as bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen
And the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be
But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
Tails you're gonna lose
CHORUS
Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--living out her lies
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rolling the dice of her life
Now she found herself in the fast lane living day to day
Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
And let her family slip away
Just like a lost soul
caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines
Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame
Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago
CHORUS
Too much too soon
Or just a little too late
Cause when her ship came in
She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait
CHORUS
CHORUS

Did you ever get up on the wrong side of bed
With an achin' head and just fall apart?
You're running late, the boss is bitchin',
It's cold outside, and the car won't start
Well I don't mean to bitch I swear
Cause we all got our cross to bear
CHORUS
But when I hear the music
All my troubles just fade away
When I hear the music
Let it play, let it play
When I hear the music
Sure as darkness I can see the day
When I hear the music
Let it play
Let it play
Life's just rented space getting laid to waste
When the lines on my face say I'm growing older
Just a stitch in time gonna save my mind
When the weight of the world lies on my shoulders
Soon I won't have a place to fit
But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
CHORUS

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
CHORUS
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here somehow
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess
CHORUS
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
But now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess
CHORUS
. . .

What's got you so jumpy?
Why can't you sit still, yeah?
Like gasoline you wanna pump me
And leave me when you get your fill, yeah
Every time I touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours
CHORUS
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just loves to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say
You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word in your page, yeah, yeah
Every time I touch you honey you get hot
I want to make love you never stop
Come up for air you push me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours
CHORUS
You're sayin' my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race
What's right
What's wrong
What's left
What the hell is going on
CHORUS

Now Listen
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet
I'm always working slaving every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
CHORUS
Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this
They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
I'm really sorry about the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then
I'm always working slaving every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
CHORUS
You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breaking our backs every day
If wanting the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
CHORUS
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
Till I'm screaming for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you
CHORUS
C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me
CHORUS
CHORUS
