You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holding you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo

Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cause I got the guts to be somebody... to cry out

I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too

You say you don't wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones

I want shiny cars and dirty money
Lots a Rock and Roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm never getting old

L.O.V.E. MACHINE
(Lawless)

Lady have you known me
The perfect love machine
I'm Virgo, My Leo's rising
Venus made me King

That trail of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers
One touch you'll see

L.O.V.E
All I need's my love machine tonight

What can I do for you
Am I your wildest dream
What do I move in you
Am I what I seem

My eyes they lie and you cry
Love brings you pain
And if you try to love me
You'll not feel the same

THE FLAME
(Lawless / Holmes / Marquez)

Give me a ticket on a jet airplane
I'm a-gonna take it
I live my life in the fast lane
The only way to make it

And I keep on going all night long
Cause that's the way I like it
And with what you got in the heat of the night
I know we got to try it
Until the flame burns out

So turn it up your radio
Everybody shake it
I'm a hundred degrees, with wild fantasies
And I need someone to make it

Show me a place where love is sweet
I ain't gonna fake it
And hey little girl if you want my love
Then now's the time to take it
Before the flame burns out

Turn up the flame your hips are fire
You're so hot I got to try ya
Show me the spot and I'll hit the mark
Baby I got the gasoline and you got the sparks
Before the flame burns out

B.A.D.
(Lawless)

You hear the cries of love, a sad tune
And feel the salt-lick stinging loves wound
Those tears that you cry leave a blood stain
They fall to the ground like a sweet rain
Cause bad girls they do

You see what's in you head: fantasy
And need, but you can't have B.A.D.
Call a spade a spade only if you want to
Cause by any other name it's taboo
Cos bad boys they do

SCHOOL DAZE
(Lawless)

I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One nation under God indivisible
With liberty and justice for all

My eyes are burning
Bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clocks wailing
Class bells screaming, I can't hear

A text book mad-house, twelve years
I'm here in a rage
A juveniles jail
And I'm here locked up in their cage

School daze, I'm here doing time
School daze, my age is my crime
School daze, I'm here doing time
School daze, I'm attending hell high

A blackboard jungle toed
The line the rulers made
A homework hell-house screams at me
Make the grade!

Tick tock, three o'clock
I'm sitting here and counting off the days
A firebell is ringing hell
And I'd sure love to see it blaze
Burn it down!

I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
Nobody here is understanding me
I pledge no allegiance and I bet
They're gonna drive me crazy yet
I'm dying here and trying to get free

HELLION
(Lawless)

Hell-hound, hot leather on your legs
That smoking powder keg
You're riding on is hell-bound
And you're the one they claim
It's going down in flames
You're riding Hades' rails

Hellion, the devil's Hellion child
Hellion, will never have to die

Well child, you're sweating and you're stoned
That alcohol you downed
Makes you crazy
All night you damn the hurt and pain
And drink the devils rain
It's screaming out your name

The Gods you worship are steel
At the altar of Rock 'N' Roll you kneel
A slave who forever rocks
Is chained in the devil's locks
And slain by the bloody axe I wail
 

SLEEPING IN THE FIRE
(Lawless)

Touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial
And your finger's in the fire
Look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our lie

Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire

Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire

I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn

ON YOUR KNEES
(Lawless)

Dancing with danger right until dawn
The sin that you buy and you sell
Mom and daddy said: The life that you've led
You'll party you're way straight to hell

On your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cause I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees

And I need you on your knees
You shall be on your knees
Cause I want you on your knees
You shall be on your knees

Playing with fire, lust in you burns
Reflecting the flames in your eyes
Sex and pain insane, they're really the same
Misused and confused, bound and tied

On your knees that's where you all shall be
Well I bid you come taste your first deadly sin
Riding the wild wind and the door to submission
Will open and you shall fall in
 

TORMENTOR
(Lawless / Holmes)

I'm a liar and I'm a cheat
I have no morals and I'm a thief
Pillage and plunder, curse those who enter
I am a killer and Tormentor

I'm a sinner, I kiss the breast
I am a sadist that whips the flesh
I'll take the women, curse those who enter
I am a killer and Tormentor

I am the Lord of Liars
And I command the Force of Fire
 

THE TORTURE NEVER STOPS
(Lawless)

Bang-bang, banging in your head
You're banging on the walls
Hang-hang, hanging up youself
You're hanging by your balls

And you, you die but no-one hears or cares
And hope's the rope that keeps you tied in knots
The torture never stops

Suck-suck, sucking at your life
Your master sucks the juice
Shoot-shoot, shooting at you
And the hangman's noose is loose

Your masters beat you bloody
Still you're running back for more
And every day, you lay down
And play the whore
