And i’m gonna
Smash my

We want the airwaves
We want the airwaves, baby
If rock is gonna stay alive

All's quiet on the eastern front

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can’t you think my movements talk
2x

See my silently quietly creep
I am too amped up to sleep
Lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the bussing sound
Subway creaking down below
Garbage piled up and ready to go

Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats and dogs don’t bark
Cool cats strolling after dark

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can’t you think my movements talk
(2x)

Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quite in the eastern front

Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away

Watch the watch the way I walk
Can’t you think my movements talk
Watch the watch the way I walk
Can’t you think my movements talk
Can’t you think my movements talk
Can’t you think my movements talk

The KKK took my baby away

She went away for the holidays
Said she’s going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say    (repeat)

The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby
They took her away
Away from me

Now I don’t know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don’t know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the President
And find out where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up to FBI
And find out if
My baby’s alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah

She went away for the holidays
...

The KKK took my baby away
...
They took my girl
They took my baby away

You sound like you're sick

Well I can’t understand
Anything about you
Help you if I can
What can I do

Here’s your new home
That’s where you must be
In the institution
‘Cause you’re so lazy

But if you must act up
Again & again
‘Cause everybody knows
You’re a hopeless problem

Here’s your new home
That’s where you must be
In the institution
‘Cause you’re so lazy

You sound like you’re sick
You look like you’re sick too
You sound like you’re sick

But if you must act up

You sound like you’re sick

Well I can’t understand
Anything about you

You sound like you’re sick
You look like you’re sick too
You sound like you’re sick
You sound like you’re sick
You look like you’re sick too
Well you sound like you’re sick too
You sound like you’re sick

It's not my place (in the 9 to 5 world)

My mom and dad are always fighting
And it’s getting very un-exciting
To get a good job
You need the proper schooling
Now who the hell
Do ya think you’re fooling

But it’s not my place oh-no
No it’s not my place no no
No it’s not my  -not my-not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it’s not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it’s not my place
With 9 to 5 girl
It’s not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Hangin’ out with Lester Bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the t.v.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

But it’s not my place
...

Don’t wanna be a working stiff
Lose my identity
Cause when it comes
To working 9 to 5
There ain’t no place for me
Ain’t my reality, to me

Vin Scelsa’s on the radio
Ramones are hangin’ out in Kokomo
Roger Corman’s on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King,
You know
But it’s not my place
...

She's a sensation

She’s a sensation
She’s a sensation
She looks a so sweet

She’s a sensation
She’s a sensation
Good enough a to eat

She’s a sensation
Oh- oh- oh
She looks a so fine
She’s a sensation
She’s a sensation
I’m gonna make a her mine

No matter what you do
I give my heart to you
And oh- oh - baby
I will give to you
No matter what they say
Yeah, we can find a way

And oh- oh - baby
We can find a way

I didn’t know it
Till I walked you home
That, I feel the way I do
And I don’t care
What the neighbors say
I always will be true
I always will love you
Love you

7-11

I met her at the 7-11
Now I’m in 7th heaven
Tell me, tell me
Can this be true
I never thought I’d ever
Meet a girl like you

She was standing by the Space Invaders
So I said can I see you later
Yeah we went for a little spin
Down to the Holiday Inn

(Refrain)
We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you’re the only girl
I’m ever thinking of

We went down to the record swap
The kids were dancing
To the blitzkrieg bop
Bop- shoo- wop shoo- wop-  shoo- wop
Bop- shoo- wop shoo- wop  shoo- wop

What ever happened to the radio
And where did all the fun songs go
Summer fun , with the Beach Boys on
But we all know what went wrong
Oh- wo- wo

(Refrain)

And so we went down to the dance
Which turned into a whole romance
And after just one night
I never knew that things could be so right
Oh- no- no- no- no- no- no- no

I kissed and hugged her
And I said good-bye
Last thing I knew
She wouldn’t make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control
It crushed my baby
And it crushed my soul
Now all I’ve got is sorrow and pain
Standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass
The sirens and pain
Is driving me insane oh- yeah

We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you’re the only girl
I’m ever dreaming of
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You didn't mean anything to me

Skies were cloudy everyday
Nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up
Our heads were so achey

You didn’t mean anything to me
You didn’t mean anything to me

We got to get away
Another lawn to mow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

You didn’t mean anything to me

Everybody was cranky
Even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

You didn’t mean anything to me

Come on now

Come on now
Come on now
We got no wheels to race

Come on now
Come on now
Police are every place
Come on now
Come on now
We got no skirts to chase

I’m just a junk food guy
Now I am telling you why
I am living at the matinee, yeah

I just want to sleep and play
Come on now
Come on now
When the folks are not around

Come on now
Come on now
Nagging ‘bout the sound
Come on now
Come on now
To turn that racket down
I’m just a comic book boy
There’s nothing scary to enjoy
Freak admission stroll inside
I was born on a roller coaster ride

Come on now
Come on now
We got no wheels to race

Come on now
Come on now
Police are every place
Come on now
Come on now
We got no skirts to chase

I’m just a comic book boy
There’s nothing scary to enjoy
Freak admission stroll inside
I was born on a roller coaster ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah come on now    (4x)

This business is killing me

I’m sick to death
I’m a nervous wreck
This business is killing me
You know
This business is killing me
You know
It’s really killing me
Yeah      (repeat)

Oh- no oh- no oh- no
Oh- no oh- no oh- no
Oh- no oh- no oh- no
Oh- no- ho

This business is killing me
And then they say

Run around, run around
Love giving you
The run around
It really makes you crazy
Run around, run around
Love giving you
The run around

Oh- no oh- no oh- no oh- no
Oh- no oh- no oh- no oh- no
Oh- no oh- no oh- no oh- no

This business is killing me
And so they say
Hey, hey

You work, you work
You write all the night
Until the early morning light

Can’t please all the people
All the time
All the people
All the time
But then they don’t
Please me

Well I can’t take it no more
No, I can’t take it no more

Run around, run around
...

Sitting in my room

Sitting in my room
Record player on
Sitting in my room
Humming a sickening tune
Sitting in my room
Something to do soon

We know that we think of them
The problems just keep pilling in
They got complaints about everything

It’s us against them
It’s us against them
It’s us against them

They just wanna worry
That’s not what any kid
Should have to do
They just wanna be so lame
Maybe they should
Try and sniff some glue
