The Kids Don't Want To Rock

"I feel the soul in the rhythm running through my bones but
The kids don't want to rock
I got the shakes and I wanna let it out like a lightning bolt
But the kids don't want to rock
I forget the feeling that it ain't appealing, it's a sign
But the kids don't want to rock
I like to turn it up real loud until you call the cops
But the kids don't want to rock

I know what I believe, it's a conspiracy
I know you fucked this up 'cause the kids don't want to rock

The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
They like it slow
And easy

I wanna turn them on to Lizzy and ZZ Top but who cares
The kids don't want to rock
Everybody listens to the second record by Motorhead
But the kids don't want to rock
I got something to prove with a pocket of Stooges but
The kids don't want to rock
Put me in a casket 'cause we're going to hell in a handbasket
The kids don't want to rock

I know what I believe, it's a conspiracy
I know you fucked this up 'cause the kids don't want to rock
I know you like to slow me, it just puts me to sleep
I know you fucked this up 'cause the kids don't want to rock

'Cause the kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
'Cause the kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
'Cause the kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
'Cause the kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock

They want it and you know it, just don't know where to find it
You stole it, you hid it and knew they want to buy it
Why do you do what you do and then just deny it
I think of your sleazy fingers you made them like it slow
And easy

I know what I believe, it's a conspiracy
I know you fucked this up 'cause the kids don't want to rock
If you had balls you'd let me right all the wrongs and empty
That part inside their hearts that makes them want to rock

The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock

The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock
The kids don't want to rock"

suspiros de um pensador com os dias contados

"I can tell you lies, 'till your left in disgrace
Kick you when you're down, and spit in your face
Lead you on 'till you're lost without a trace
I THINK BAD THOUGHTS
ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT LONG

I THINK BAD THOUGHTS
Don't care what you think's wrong!"

Something Better

"You want something better!
When it don't feel right
Never seem to stay too long
You're never satisfied

One day you're gonna wake up
Find you're past your prime
Realize what you should've kept
Is what you left behind

Is what you left behind

You're looking over you're shoulder
Most days and nights
Everyone seems to have it all
Greener on the other side

You got a feeling you're entitled
You feel you have the right
When you finally have it all
Will you draw the line?

One day you're gonna wake up
One day you're gonna wake up

You want something better
When it don't feel right
Never seem to stay too long
You're never satisfied

One day you're gonna wake up
Find you're past your prime
Realize what you should've kept
Is what you left behind

One day you're gonna wake up!
One day you're gonna wake up!"

the mango kid

"All you pretty ladies pass me by and turn your heads
But when I get on stage you can't take your eyes off me
I say too little too late I'm walking on!
You find another pretty boy to turn you on

I got my name on the line!
My eyes on the prize !
(Let me tell you)
You want to know my name?
I'm THE MANGO KID!

All you fellas look me up and down and cop my style
But when I see you at the club you can't look me in the eye
It's OK! if you wanna look and take, take, take
Just make sure you credit the KID who showed you how to shake

I got my name on the line!
My eyes on the prize !
(Let me tell you)
You want to know my name?
I'm THE MANGO KID!

You can call me THE MANGO KID but your girl calls me BABY! I've been a rock prodigy since the age of 20!
What comes outta this mouth ain't called boastin' it's just truthin' !"

WE SWEAT BLOOD!

"I'm into never stopping
I'm making no sense
But I can never sit still I keep on riding
When you're fast asleep
I'm working all night
I never sleep either I'll take a break when I die
Every drop is precious
Makes you want to cry
Bring me close to the edge, dare me to die
Can't call it driven
When you're driving
It's easy to stay awake when your blood is boiling!

You want to know why?
WE SWEAT BLOOD!
Me, myself and I
WE SWEAT BLOOD!

If I could sleep with eyes open
I damn well will
Some people need a push I need a sleeping pill
I like to cut through bull shit
with my mouth as a knife
I'd like to stick it to you 'cause it only feels right
Every drop is precious
Makes you want to cry
Bring me close to the edge dare me to die
Can't call it driven
when you're driving
Easy to stay awake when your blood is boiling!

You want to know why?
WE SWEAT BLOOD!
WE SWEAT BLOOD!
WE SWEAT BLOOD!
WE SWEAT BLOOD!

I wish there was 80 seconds in a minute,
90 minutes in an hour,
60 hours in a day,
500 days in a year

'Cause every drop of blood
and every bead of sweat
and every night awake
each day to slave away!

WE SWEAT BLOOD!
WE SWEAT BLOOD!
WE SWEAT BLOOD!
WE SWEAT BLOOD!"

Play The Blues

"I love to play my Rock'n'Roll, but I've played the blues before
I've had my share of broken hearts
but I don't play the blues no more
If you meet the girl of your wildest dreams
she's gonna turn out to be a curse
Love will hit you bad boy, but the blues will hit you worse

If you wanna know how to play the blues...
Get yourself a woman!

Muddy Waters sang out the truth back in 1941
Woman gonna get to you like Jimmy Hendrix with a gun
Mr FredMcDowell lost his pride when he begged his girl to stay
Mr Robert Johnson lost his life with too much love one day

If you wanna know how to play the blues...
Get yourself a woman!

I love to play my Rock'n'Roll, but I've played the blues before
I've had my share of broken hearts
but I don't play the blues no more
If you meet the girl of your wildest dreams
she's gonna turn out to be a curse
Love will hit you bad boy, but the blues will hit you worse

If you wanna know how to play the blues...
Get yourself a woman!
Pick it sweet...slide it slow, Whoo!"
