Dark inside the pain
Lost in the mundane
A lie for which I'm blamed
A hostage no one claims
The fugitive's way, I won't obey
Your bullets just ricochet

I'm going in madness, I'm going in madness
I'm going in madness, I'm going in madness
I say

I want my now
I need my now
I want my now
I need my now, right now!
I want my now

I want my now

I live wherever I want
Too much time to think
Fire in the brain
Twisted and insane
To runaway there's just no way
Your bullets still ricochet

I'm going in madness, I'm going in madness
I'm going in madness, I'm going in madness
You'll pay

I want my now
I need my now
I want my now
I need my now, right now!
I want my now

I want my now

I want a house, I want a car
I wanna be a movie star
I want some gold, I wanna a brick
I want a diamond selfie stick (yeah)
I want a jet, I want to fly
I never wanna answer why
I want a crown, I want to reign
Wanna be a royal pain
And I want it… now!

I want my now, now, now

I want my now
I need my now
I want my now
I need my now, right now!
I want my now

Now now now
Now now now
Now now now

It's alright now
Gimme some rights now
We want our rights now
All right now
(continues unintelligibly in the background)

(Very hard to make out. This all I could guess at)

You know... Good people are hard to find
no...

Somtimes I ...

I don`t think so

This narcissistic self-absorbed selfish stink world

too smart enough...

...stuff behind my back, making up lies, lies, lies, lies..

[Alice]
The beast defeat of the east elite
Gave poisonous treats to the innocent priest
all alone with his tweets
Recycled from the pagentry of forever creeps
Gallantry guaranteed, chivalry, pig disease
Clergy sleaze, on their knees
Beggin' please for his own reprieve

[Johnny]
All the things you don't say
The gift of truth pushed me away
All the things you did say
Never mattered anyway

[Alice]
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Yeah man...

Crippled old dog, lost in the fog
Stumblin' through the speeches that preaches on the blog
Pretty bride, deicide
Great divide, classified
Winning by a landslide
What a ride

[Johnny]
Everything you don't say
Never mattered anyway

[Alice]
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Oh man...
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Oh man, oh man, yeah man...

Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Ha, ha, ha, ha... who's laughing now man...
Yeah man
You're the man..
Yeah man...
(Yeah man)

I know who you are but you don't know what I am
You never will because I'm not one of them
They said your first mistake was a bad one to make
'cause I ain't got no heart left to break
If any of this happened for real maybe now I'd be dead

Godzilla size, rage inside, recognized, redrum eyes gonna shake it
Finalized, paralyzed, specialized, scandalized ain't gonna fake it

You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)
You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)

You got no balls, you got no mask
You ain't nothing but a dead end task
Shoot me once, stab me twice
But kid take my advice
Get out before you lose your ass
I hate to spoil your thrill, my demon blood don't spill
You see there's far too many of me to kill

Godzilla size, rage inside, recognized, redrum eyes gonna shake it
Finalized, paralyzed, specialized, scandalized ain't gonna fake it

You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)
You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)

You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)
You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)

You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman (surprise)
You ain't ready for the boogieman surprise
You ain't ready for the boogieman.

Announcement:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to bushwackers.
It's gang night.. gays against guns...
Have a ball....

I used to drink a lot
I used to smoke a lot… still do
So what?! What's it to you?
And that's the way I'm gonna be

I used to scream a lot
I used to fight a lot… still do
Why not, boo hoo
That's just the way I'm built to be

Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
So if you're feeling froggy I'll slap you black 'n' blue
Nobody tells me I can't talk, nobody tells me I can't walk
And if you try and put them cuffs on me you're gonna wake up lined in chalk

Girls used to jump on me
When I was 23… still do
That's right I repeat they still do
Ain't got a thing to prove to you

What goes around, comes around
Goes around, straight on down
So take your best shot and pray you knock me cold
Only way you'll ever shake me…

Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
So if you're feeling froggy I'll slap you black 'n' blue
Nobody tells me I can't talk, nobody tells me I can't walk
And if you're dumb enough to swing on me I'm gonna knock your block right off

Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
And if you're feeling lucky, son I'm gonna stomp all over you
Nobody tells me I can't talk, nobody tells me I can't walk
And if one more time you stinkeye me I'm gonna stuff you in a box

Me, I was born this way
Might even die someday… if I want
Ha ha, yeah we'll see… (Nope)
What happens in between don't blame me

You may think I don't care
That ain't the case I swear… cuz I do
About me, just don't care about you
That's the way I'll always be

Nobody tells me what to say, nobody tells me what to do
I drank your bar tab dry last night and I clipped your wallet, too
Think you can tell me what to say, think you can tell me what to do
But here's a news flash for you cuz, I took your Mary Lou

Oh hell, not Mary-Lou... she was gonna be my niece...
(Laughter)

Instrumental

It doesn't pay to try,
All the smart boys know why,
It doesn't mean I didn't try,
I just never knew why.
Feel so cold and all alone,
Cause baby, you're not home.
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone.

Feel so restless, I am,
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense,
down in my bones.
Even though they don't show,
The scars aren't so old
And when they go, yeah..
They sure let you know, yeah..

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You're just a bastard kid,
And you got no name
Cause you're living with me,
We're one and the same

And even though they don't show,
The scars aren't that old
And when they go,
They sure let you know... 'cause..

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try, don't try

[Johnny]
I burnt down your alters
I drank your holy water
Your sins ain't mine and I ain't gonna die for 'em
I ain't got no time for 'em
No time to mourn for 'em
There's nothing to take back if it's all gone away

[Tommy]
Feeling pretty smashed boy
Taking out the trash boy
Have a good look boy
You're gonna get the hook boy
Nothing never real boy
Looking kinda ill boy
Regret is a bitch boy
You starting to twitch boy

Breaking down your walls boy
Better stand tall boy
Don't cry like a baby boy
Get ready for it all boy
You target my back boy
You ain't got the knack boy
Today ain't your day boy
You best walk away boy!

[Alice]
Night falls down and they're all around, around, around
Might come round, pull you underground, a ground a ground
Git from round, git from round me

[Johnny]
You know what isn't
What ain't right and wrong requires no saint
Who you trying to be and why you trying to be it

[Tommy]
Shut your juicy mouth boy
Needle in the map boy
Don't wrestle the ghost boy
You're digging this hole boy
Have another drink boy
It's come to the quick boy
Don't try to think boy
You're making me sick boy

[Alice]
Night falls down and they're all around, around, around
Might come round, pull you underground, a ground a ground
Night falls down and they're all around, around, around
Might come round, pull you underground, a ground a ground
Git from round, git from round me

Feel my irritation
See my mutilation
It's your final invitation
That's right
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look

Night falls down and they're all around, around, around
Might come round, pull you underground, a ground a ground
Night falls down and they're all around, around, around
Might come round, pull you underground, a ground a ground
Git from, git from round me

I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Ah, we can be heroes just for one day

I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing, nothing will drive us away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be us just for one day

I, I can remember
(I remember)
Standing by the wall
(By the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads
(Over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
(Nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day
What you say...

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day.

So you wanna take it all
I got nowhere left to fall
Got no more time to mourn
The pain of being born
I've been beaten like a dog
Trussed up like a hog
Abandoned like a broken toy
Tossed out in the fog

Please except this… ahh

My gift to you, my new threat
All for you and no one else
My gift to you, my new threat
Eggshells, teardrops, bomb shells… beware

I gave my best
And I did my worst
The best of your best
Was worse than your worst
Threat becomes promise, promise the truth
Just you hide and watch
Worthless, spineless, feeble minded
The unwritten epilogue for the blinded

Please except this… ahh

My gift to you, my new threat
All for you and no one else
My gift to you, my new threat
Mind games, fake blame, Mom's dead… more pain

My gift to you, my new threat
My gift to you, my new threat
My gift to you, my new threat
My gift to you, my new threat
My gift to you, my new threat
My gift to you...

My gift to you, my new threat
All for you and no one else
My gift to you, my new threat
Eggshells, teardrops, bomb shells… beware
My gift to you, my new threat
All for you and no one else
My gift to you, my new threat
Hard knock, tick tock, heart stop… farewell

Don't keep me here with these eyes all alone
I've been stuck in this web on my own
Avoid to sleep, stare into blackness
I'm coming home, my home

A very slow crawl towards the final goal
I'm spinning this web trying to get outta this hole
Now completely paralyzed
I take these bits one at a time, at a time

Darkness for me is all I know
The darkness for me all alone
The silence so loud, the silence so loud
Feeling so numb…

Oh, I'm Mr. Spider

My hunger drives me mad, I can't control
If I had a heart and a soul
I might show you some mercy
But I'll never let you go, no....

Darkness for me is all I know
The darkness for me all alone
The silence so loud, the silence so loud
Feeling so numb…

Oh, I'm Mr. Spider
Oh, Mr. Spider
I'm gonna eat you, gonna eat you, eat you
Alive!

Darkness for me is all I know
The darkness for me all alone
The silence so loud, the silence so loud
Feeling so numb…

Oh, I'm Mr. Spider
Oh, Mr. Spider
I'm gonna eat you, gonna eat you, eat you
Alive!

After all
It's my nature
I'm Mr. Spider

La la la la la la la
Lalalala la la la
La la la la la la la
Lalalala la la la
La la la la la la la
Lalalala la la la
Ummm... Taste so good

Sear friends and esteemed guests
Hello
Will you all please rise ladies and gentlemen
Madams lemonsieurs...
(davon?) and so forth, etc etc
Please welcome the president of the United Statesof America....
And why not... President Alice Cooper!

We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies

Everyday is not the same
You look to me I'm not to blame
The planet has its own disclaimers
I don't know why
Don't quote me on that pretty please
I swear that you're a rotten sleaze
And sell you to the public as a spy

We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies

You look this way, you look that way
So you can't see the balance sway
The world's your oyster what they say
All you can eat
But keep it cool and blow your nose
You know the way the story goes
You drop your pants and touch your toes
With… pride?

We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies

Hundred thousand dollar bird sings unrecorded Beatles' song
Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured
Boy born with dog head
Mother gives birth to a ghost of Big Foot
Wow… what?

Just another boring game
There's no one left for me to blame
My kids are grown, my friends are lame
My life's a mess
And though I reek of huge success
I'll glance once more at my hairy chest
Push the button, kiss my ass goodbye
Goodbye!

We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
We gotta rise, let's rise
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies
It's you and I, it's do or die
We gotta rise, let's rise, above the lies

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died...

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
I salute you brother

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some... some bitchen proof
Herbie said, Tony, can you fly?
But Tony couldn't fly - Tony died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said "yeah yeah yeah I know it's dangerous
But it sure beats Riker's"
But the next day he got offed
By the very same bikers

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine

[Alice:]
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I shall fear no evil
It walks near me, it smiles, it shows its teeth
Not from above but from beneath
It laughs in my face but not at my faith
The dark looks for me and can't understand
How I slipped right through its fingers
Congratulations

[Joe:]
The cries of the crow becoming clear
Bleeding day into night without fear
Into the temple of sacrifice and doom
I walked alone into the red room
We're way beyond the land without order
Surrounded by faces, drums of death
I cheated time and I know I ain't got much time left
You… you killed it… humanity
Congratulations

[Tommy:]
Everyday I wake up, it's a fight to survive
The humanoid selfish egomaniacal instant gratification world
Money, greed, ugly need, how much is enough
Fame… being king of the rats…
Time is vicious dummy
Look at me… look at you… we're all the same
Just trying to stay alive
Congratulations

[Johnny:]
The unknown no one of nowhere…
Knew nothing new, as never before
Lost his life in love with love
Left alone always
Leapt off towards another waste of what would wind up what once was
But wasn't
One tarnished trophy to which has been said goodbye
The only word that was ever needed
Have I lost what was never given me?
Nope
I don't buy into the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny nor any of your favorite crutches
Everyday is just another game to play
You lose now… you lose later
Winning is the gift of playing the game
Bite off as much as you can chew and spit out what you don't need
You have to go away to come back
Do not pander, ponder, rise
To return to an orderly decision of being born or not
The sickness parade is here… tick tock tick tock
There ain't nothing that can protect you from the brutality of life's clock
It will sneak up and bite you right on the ass
And after just a few short years in your narcissistic pavilion
You will shrivel and wither like a humiliated grape
Anyone ever tell you you talk too much, probably not
You speak much better when your mouth is full
Your epitaph will be scribbled in crayons
On a scorching sidewalk
Congratulations
