Teenage Frankenstein
(Cooper/Roberts)
I'm the kid on the block with my head made of rock And I ain't got nobody I'm the state of the art, got a brain a la carte I make the babies cry
I ain't one of the crowd, I ain't one of the guys They just avoid me, they run and they hide Are my colours too bright? Are my eyes set too wide? I spend my whole life burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein The local freak with the twisted mind I'm a teenage Frankenstein These ain't my hands and these legs ain't mine
Got a synthetic face, got some scars and a brace My hands are rough and bloody I walk into the night, women faint at the sight I ain't no cutie pie
I can't walk in the day, I must walk in the night Stay in the shadows, stay out of the light Are my shoulders too wide? Is my head screwed on tight? I spend my whole life burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein The local freak with the twisted mind I'm a teenage Frankenstein These ain't my arms and these legs ain't mine, no
I ain't one of the crowd, I ain't one of the guys They just avoid me, they run and they hide Are my colours too bright? Are my eyes set too wide? I spend my whole life burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein The local freak with the twisted mind I'm a teenage Frankenstein These ain't my hands and these legs ain't mine
I'm a teenage Frankenstein The local freak with the twisted mind I'm a teenage Frankenstein These ain't my arms and these legs ain't mine
Give it up
(Cooper/Roberts)
You got your sugar, you got your spice You got a kitten, now isn't that nice? You just can't wait for a picnic in spring I just get nauseous when I think of those things
You wait and wait and you wait for a lifetime For a little piece of cake in the night time, yeah You wait and wait, you can't wait any longer You wait and wait, couldn't be any wronger, no
Give it up Give it up Give it up
You shop around for a sensible car You hold your breath when you wish on a star You settle down in a warm little house You make some babies with your warm little spouse, how nice
You wait and wait and you wait for a lifetime For a little piece of cake in the night time, yeah You wait and wait, you can't wait any longer You wait and wait, couldn't be any wronger, no
Give it up Give it up Give it up
Just when you got it made and all your bills are paid You stumble and fall into your grave, too bad
Give it up
You wait and wait and you wait for a lifetime For a little piece of cake in the night time, yeah You wait and wait, you can't wait any longer You wait and wait, couldn't be any wronger, no
Give it up - don't let it get you down Give it up - you really, really blew it Give it up - turn your head around Give it up - used to be so hip with you hung out on the strip
Give it up - don't let it get you down Give it up - you really, really blew it Give it up - turn your head around Give it up - got some Gucci on the wear, got some musse in your hair
Give it up - don't let it get you down Give it up - you really, really blew it Give it up - turn your head around Give it up - got a perfect little smile, you're growing old in style
Give it up - don't let it get you down Give it up - you really, really blew it Give it up - turn your head around Give it up - oh, games over
Give it up
Thrill my gorilla
(Cooper/Roberts)
Sukie honey, we're gonna turn back the clock To a time when we danced to volcanic rock We loved to hunt and kill, that's how we used to be We drank the blood we spilled and growled at our enemies
Where were you when the monkey hit the fan? Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man? Thrill my gorilla
Sukie honey, weren't you right there with me? I seem to remember chasing you from tree to tree Those prehistoric nights are coming back to me We must have been the first to go down in history
Where were you when the monkey hit the fan? Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man? Thrill my gorilla
We lay on our skins, original sins We touch, we feel, we scream, we squeal
Thrill my gorilla Thrill my gorilla
We lay on our skins, original sins We touch, we feel, we scream, we squeal
Thrill my gorilla Thrill my gorilla
Where were you when the monkey hit the fan? Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man? Weren't you right there with me? Thrill my gorilla
Where were you when the monkey hit the fan? Thrill my gorilla Where were you when monkey turned to man? Weren't you right there with me? Thrill my gorilla
Life and death of the party
(Cooper/Roberts)
You walk in the room, everybody stares The talking stops, there's a silence there The room is yours, you own it now You're in control and everybody down here knows
You got a place in my heart, I don't want you there But you come and you go like a millionaire You take a walk right across my soul You're in control and everybody down here knows
You're the life and the death of the party You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party When the stage lights rise you start and stop the show
You love me bad, you love me good You're unimpressed, that's understood I lost it all, you knew I would You're in control and everybody down here knows
You're the life and the death of the party You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party And with your head held high you start and stop the show
It's just one night It's just one time It's just one hotel room It's just another dream that can't come true
You're the life and the death of the party You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party And when the stage lights rise you start and stop the show
You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party And with your head held high you start and stop the show
You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party And when the stage lights rise you start and stop the show
You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party And with your head held high you start and stop the show
You got my heart right by the throat You're the life and the death of the party And when the stage lights rise you start and stop the show
Simple disobedience
(Cooper/Roberts)
Looks like all your laws are broken, all your lines are down And all your officers are shook up babbling little clowns Looks like all your power's gone, it's sprayed upon the wall In blood and spit it spells out your inevitable fall
And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience All the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience
Now all your complex little schemes that form your masterplan Are scrambled up and that is something you just don't understand A cyclone of confusion rips right through your holy troops The very thing that weakens you gives power gives me juice
And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience All the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience
Take your laser microscope and try to find an answer No antidote or drug to cure our special strain of cancer It spreads its revolution wide from cell to cell to cell Your kingdom's like your body - it dies and goes to hell
And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience And all the hungry outlaws are waiting for a chance Simple disobedience
And all the hungry outlaws have taken up a stance Simple disobedience And all the hungry outlaws are waiting for a chance Simple disobedience
The world needs guts
(Cooper/Roberts)
Hey, you! Fighting for your life Where you've never fought before Hey, you! Running from the scene And nailing down your door
Oh yeah! Back'em off, brother Oh yeah! Terminate the mother now You know you gotta get hard
The world needs guts, the world needs power Show me some blood, show me some cuts Show me some scars, the world needs guts The world needs us
Hey, you! Crying 'cause your best Friend's splattered against the wall Hey, you! Some maniac butcher's Trying to hack away your balls
Oh yeah! Back'em off, brother Oh yeah! Terminate the mother now You know you gotta get hard
The world needs guts, the world needs power Show me some blood, show me some cuts Show me some scars, the world needs guts The world needs us
Hey, hey, what's in your eyes? I think I'm getting through Say, say that you despise the things they did to you Pray, pray someday their throats ar
