I know what you want You want what we got I know what you want You want what we got Sometimes you drive me mad with the things you say and do You act like we’re so bad, well, I got a message for you You don’t fool anyone with your jealousy You want it all and give us none, that ain’t the way it’s gonna be I know what you want You want what we got I know what you want You want what we got Checkmate we named your tune, don’t give me your alibies We burst your red balloon, maybe now you realize When you laugh and put us down, you’re trying to cover up your fears Just like a circus clown, it’s just a mask, just a mask to hide your tears I know what you want You want what we got I know what you want You want what we got You want it – we got it We got it – you don’t You want it – we got it We got it – you won’t You want it – we got it We got it – you don’t You want it – we got it We got it – you won’t I know what you want You want what we got I know what you want You want what we got I know what you want You want what we got I know what you want You want what we got (I know what you want) you want it (You want what we got) we got it (I know what you want) you want it You want what we got You know what I got I got what they got You know what I got I got what they got

Oh yeah, check it out I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of rock And to the point of view for which it stands One music under one God, yes, even God loves rock ‘n’ roll With liberty and justice for all lands (Every day) I work so hard (Every day) I’m dealt the cards (Every day) I’m told exactly what to do (Every day) I lose control (Every day) I rock ‘n’ roll (Every day) it’s gonna help to see me through I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll Do you take this music to be your lawfully wedded rock? To have and hold in sickness and in health? For richer or for poorer, for better or for worse? Together until death comes to yourself? (Every day) I work so hard (Every day) I’m dealt the cards (Every day) I’m told exactly what to do (Every day) I lose control (Every day) I rock ‘n’ roll (Every day) it’s gonna help to see me through I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll Sister says: Oh, would that my words were written down Would that they were inscribed on a record That with an iron fist and led zeppelin They were cut in the rock forever But as for me, I know that heavy metal lives And that it will at last stand forth upon the dust that I myself shall see My own ears not another’s shall behold it And from my flesh I shall see it rock My inmost being is consumed with longing This is the word of the rocker I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll I believe in rock ‘n’ roll

You thought it was gone but the fire goes on and I thought you knew me I told you before ‘til I settle the score that I’ll never run free I have enough pain and anger in my brain to last many lifetimes Yet still it grows and the more that it shows I won’t have peace of mind The fire, the fire still burns The fire, the fire still burns I have a dream and as strange as it seems, there’s no embers glowing The fire’s gone out and there’s no need to shout ‘cause no anger’s showing But it’s not true, nothing I ever do seems to ease my fury Get out of my way, I’m the hangman today and the judge and jury The fire (fire), the fire still burns The fire (fire), the fire still burns The fire (fire), the fire still burns The fire (fire), the fire still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire, fire, still burns Fire (fire), fire (fire), still burns Fire (fire), fire (fire), still burns The fire (the fire), the fire still burns The fire (the fire), the fire still burns The fire (the fire), the fire still burns The fire (the fire), the fire still burns The fire (the fire), the fire still burns The fire (the fire), the fire still burns

Be cruel to your school ‘cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Be cruel to your school just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Well, I don’t think I’ll make it through another day, it’s eight o’clock and all ain’t well My brain hurts so much it’s starting to decay and I’m living in my private hell Didn’t somebody tell me this would be so great, be the best thing I ever had? How come they never told me ‘bout the word “exaggerate” How’d something so good get so bad? ‘Cause hey, I gotta know, am I slow? Where do I go from here? Do ABC’s and 123’s mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me Be cruel to your school ‘cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Be cruel to your school just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Sing it, Alice I see them walking ‘round like the living dead, ain’t they got nothing between their ears? How come they don’t seem to hear a single word I say, they ain’t the only one who’s bored to tears Now there must be a better way to educate ‘cause this way ain’t working like it should Can’t they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate that makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good ‘Cause hey, I gotta know what I’ll have to show When I hi-hi-ho it from here Will I be in pain or will I have a brain or will I go insane, I’ve gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane ‘Cause hey, I gotta know what I’ll have to show When I hi-hi-ho it from here Do ABC’s and 123’s mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me Be cruel to your school ‘cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Be cruel to your school just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Be cruel to your school (oh...) ‘cause you may never get another Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Be cruel to your school (oh...) just like a sister or a brother Be cruel to your school in the name of rock ‘n’ roll Alright

Why does no one seem to understand that it’s more than love I need It’s so hard to keep your faith alive when nobody else believes Oh, I need someone there for me, need someone who can see, need someone to show me Oh... that they are there to help me fight, if I fall, to set me right, someone there to hold the light Won’t someone say I believe in you? (Oh...) I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you... It’s so hard to do it all yourself, fighting for your dreams alone When the toy’s upon the highest shelf, a child’s tears soon become stone Oh, why does no one lend a hand, why does no one understand why I need to make a stand? Oh... it’s so hard to carry on when all your hope is gone, all your dreams have come undone I need to hear I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you... Why won’t someone say these words, are they really so absurd, must they always go unheard? Oh... if someone needed the light, I’d be there to help them fight, if they fell, I’d set them right And then I’d say I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you... (oh...) I believe in you (oh...) Won’t someone say, I believe in you? (Oh...) I believe in you... (oh...) Won’t someone say, I believe in you? (Oh...) I need to hear I believe in you (oh...) I believe in you...

I walk alone through sleepless nights I'm just another number, somethin' just ain't right Searchin' for somethin' in this human zoo Kaleidoscope of faces, maybe, maybe it might be you I feel like I lost my way Things get darker every day that I stay CHORUS: You're out on the streets, livin' on your own You're out on the streets, so far from home When you're out on the streets you can't understand what's goin' on You're out on the streets, your heart's your only home The mind it wanders through shattered dreams Hours pass in seconds and my heart, it screams I can't fight the past, I force back all of my tears 'Cause there ain't no turnin' back, minutes, minutes turn to years Someone listen to my prayers Can't help feelin' no one cares, no one dares REPEAT CHORUS Solo - Eddie Maybe there's a place for me Is my dreaming to be free, fantasy REPEAT CHORUS You're out on the streets, you're livin' on your own You're out on the streets, so far, so far from home When you're out on the streets I can't understand what's goin' on You're out on the streets, your heart's your only home

Evil’s coming, fight the fire, push has come to shove Let’s all pray, we need the help of death from up above We must fight, we won’t surrender, the king will never change Hold the line, there’s no contender, the outcome’s prearranged It’s killed or be killed, live or let die Kill or be killed, though you don’t know why It’s kill or be killed, rock or let roll Kill or be killed, burn or save your soul Death is certain and there’s no question, life’s not quite you see Pick your path and make decisions for eternity Choose your weapons, this war started long before you came Fight the good fight, let’s be sure they’ll never rise again It’s killed or be killed, live or let die Kill or be killed, though you don’t know why It’s kill or be killed, rock or let roll Kill or be killed, burn or save your soul Don’t sleep in the fire, have faith and desire Then fight for your life and be free It’s killed or be killed, live or let die Kill or be killed, though you don’t know why It’s kill or be killed, rock or let roll Kill or be killed, burn or save your soul It’s killed or be killed, live or let die Kill or be killed, though you don’t know why It’s kill or be killed, rock or let roll Kill or be killed, burn or save your soul

Look around me all I see Thousands of faces wanting me How can I lead? How can I rule? When I’m the king of the fools What kind of kingdom has no throne? No crown or castle do I own I don’t have silver, gold or jewels Yet I’m the king, king of the fools And I can’t help believing – the world is on my side No, I can’t help believing in my heart But I can’t stop this feeling that I should run and hide So before I die I’ll sit and wonder why, oh, I wonder why (King of the fools) who face the world defiantly (King if the fools) understanding less than me (King of the fools) oh, I’m the king, king of the fools The outside world can’t understand Just who we are or what I am... Well, we don’t want their life or rules I’ll be the king, king of the fools (King of the fools) I proudly rule for all to see (King of the fools) there’s nothing else I’d rather be (King of the fools) yes, I’m the king, king of the fools... King of the fools... King of the fools... And I can’t help believing – the world is on my side No, I can’t help believing in my heart But I can’t stop this feeling that I should run and hide So before I die I’ll sit and wonder why, oh, I’ll wonder why (King of the fools) I hear them laugh and shout at me (King of the fools) they shake their heads in disbelief (King of the fools) oh, I’m the king, king of the fools (King of the fools) who are these people to cast stones? (King of the fools) better a fool than just a clown (King of the fools) yes, I’m the king, king of the fools... King of the fools... King of the fools...
