Chinese democracy
It don't really matter
Gonna find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter
I'm gonna leave these thing to
Somebody else
If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sittin' in a Chinese stew
To view my disinfatuation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They've seen the end
And you can't hold on now
Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
When I all I've got is precious time
It don't really matter
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Said, it don't really matter
It's time I look around
For somebody else
Cause it would take a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
When all we got is precious time
More than you've got to fool the nation
When all I've got is precious time
It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter
So you can hear it now
From somebody else
You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them enough, they'll die
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
And now you're keeping your own kind in hell
When your Great Wall rocks, blame yourself
While their arms reach up for your help
And you're out of time
Welcome to the Jungle
Welcome to the jungle
We got fun and games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got no money, honey
We got your disease
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
Oh, I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream
Welcome to the jungle

Ya learn to live like an animal
In the jungle where we play

You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
Oh, I wanna watch you bleed
And when you're high, you never
Ever want to come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah!

Feel my, my serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It's gonna bring you down

Mr. Brownstone
I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
Because worryin' is a waste of my time
The show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said a little better than before
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said a little better than before
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no...
He won't leave me alone
Now I get up around whenever
I used to get up on time
But that old man, he's a real motherfucker
I Gonna kick him on down the line
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said a little better than before
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said a little better than before
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone
(Won't leave me alone)
Shoved it in the bindle and I shot it in the middle and it
It drove outta my mind
I should've known better, said I wish I never met her said I
I leave it all behind
Yowsa!
Estranged
When you're talking to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone (alone)
So nobody ever told you, baby, how it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you, baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two
Old at heart, but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young to let love break my heart
Young at heart, but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're supposed to find me lately
And what more could you ask from me?
How could you say that I never needed you?
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me
Young at heart, and it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talking to myself and nobody's home (alone)
So nobody ever told us, baby, how it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us, baby?
Guess we'll have to wait and see
When I find all of the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
And now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
You don't talk so loud, and you don't walk so proud
Anymore, and what for?
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own
Drifting all alone
If it doesn't show
Give it time to read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm is getting closer
And the waves, they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die?
I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through
This time, oh this time, without you
I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die
Rocket Queen
If I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you
'cause
I can turn on anyone
Just like I've turned on you
I've got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
And I can do you favors
But then you'll do whatever I like
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen
I might be a little young
But honey I ain't naive
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
I might be too much
But honey you're a bit obscene
I've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey you'd be surprised
I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen
I might be a little young
But honey I ain't naive
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen, oh, yeah
I might be too much
But honey you're a bit obscene
I see you standing
Standing on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll be here standing
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Or those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby, yeah
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care
Live and let die
When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say "live and let live"
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say "live and let die, live and let die"
What does it matter to ya?
When ya got a job to do
Ya got to do it well
You got to give the other fell a hell
You used to say "live and let live"
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say "live and let die, live and let die"
This I love
And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And it might not be wise
I'd still have to try
With all the love I have inside
I can't deny
I just can't let it die
Cause her heart's just like mine
And she holds her pain inside
So if you ask me why
She wouldn't say goodbye
I know somewhere inside
There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can't deny
So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else
Could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please, God, you must believe me
I've searched the universe
And found myself
Within' her eyes
No matter how I try
They say it's all a lie
So what's the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won't die
In my heart
So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else
Could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe
And found myself
Within' her eyes
So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else
Could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe
And found myself
Within' her eyes
And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
It just might be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I'll never say goodbye
Better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
The hardest part this troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
Was heal the scars that got their start
Inside someone like you now
For had I known or I'd been shown
Back when how long it'd take me
To break the charms that brought me harm
And all but would erase me
I never would or thought I could
No matter what you'd pay me
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough, but just my luck
I fell in love and maybe
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know, I know better
Now I know you better
So bittersweet, this tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of fate, a change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart, provides the spark
For my determination
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
Oh, no one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
If I were you I'd manage to
Avoid the invitation
Of promised love that can't keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head and in the end
You'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps and won't regret
This kind of aggravation
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
Catcher in the Rye
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folks say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
(Guess I'd have more fun)
Oooh, the Catcher In The Rye Again
Won't let ya get away from him
(Tomorrow never comes)
It's just another day...
Like today
You decide
Cause I don't have to
And then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long hereafter
If the cold outside's
As I'm imagining
It to be
Oh, no
Lana nana na na na
Lana nana na nana
Ooh, the Catcher In The Rye Again
Won't let ya get away from him
(Tomorrow never comes)
It's just another day...
Like today
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folks say
And if they'd ever change
As that reminds to say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
Cause what used to be's
Not there for me
And ought to for someone
That belongs...
Insane...
Like I do
Oh, no
Not at all
On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard
No longer would it play
For anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone
Who cared
To be
Not like you
And unlike me
And then the voices went away from me
Somehow you set the wheels in motion
That haunt our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body
Took the body
You gave that boy a gun
You took our innocence
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing
We counted on
When no one else was there
Street of dreams
All the love in the world couldn't save you
All the innocence inside
You know I tried so hard to make you
Oh, to make you change your mind
And it hurts too much to see you
And how you left yourself behind
You know I wouldn't want to be you
Now there's a hell I can't describe
So now I wander through my days
And try to find my ways
To the feelings that I felt
I saved for you and no one else
And though as long as this road seems
I know it's called the street of dreams
But that's not stardust on my feet
It leaves a taste that's bittersweet
That's called the blues
I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
Though it's what you planned
This much is true
What I thought was beautiful
Don't live inside of you
Anymore
I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
Though it's what you planned
This much is true
What I thought was beautiful
Don't live inside of you
Anymore
What this means to me
Is more than I know you believe
What I thought of you now...
Has cost more that it should for me
What I thought was true before
Were lies I couldn't see
What I thought was beautiful
Is only memories
Oh oh oh
What'd I tell you
Oh oh oh
That's
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Inside of you
you could be mine
I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit ta burn
And I'll rip your heart in two
And I'll leave you lying on the bed
I'll be out the door before ya wake
It's nothing new to you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too
'Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rapping
And your cocaine tongue
You get nothing done
I said you could be mine
Now holidays come and then they go
It's nothing new today
Collect another memory
When I come home late at night
Don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again
'Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rapping
And your cocaine tongue
You get nothing done
I said you could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You've gone sketching too many times
Why don't ya give it a rest
Why must you find
Another reason to cry
While you're breaking down my back
I been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it
'Cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps are wearing thin
And I could sleep on it 'til morning
But this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
An you can take the pity so far
But it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couchtrip's getting older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause five years is forever
And you haven't grown up yet
You could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rapping
And your cocaine tongue you get nothing done
I said you could be, you should be
You could be mine
You could be mine (you could be mine)
You could be mine (you could be mine)
You could be mine (you could be mine)
You could be mine (you could be mine)
Yeah!
sweet child o' mine
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh! Oh! Sweet child o' mine
Oh! Oh! Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh! Oh! Sweet child o' mine
Oh! Oh! Sweet love of mine
Oh! Oh! Sweet child o' mine
Oh! Oh! Sweet love of mine
Oh! Oh! Sweet child o' mine
Oh! Oh! Sweet love o' mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now, now, now
Now, now, now, now, now?
Sweet child
Sweet child o' mine
Another brick in the wall (part II)
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
"Wrong, do it again!"
"Wrong, do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still, lady!"
November rain
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But, darlin', when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same?
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long, long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, oh, yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So, if you want to love me
Then, darlin', don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone?
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem all to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Oh, everybody needs some time on their own
Oh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
Oh, yeah
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody
Don't cry
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And, please, don't cry
I know how you feel inside
I've been there before
Something is changing inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sign
Give me a kiss before
You tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And, please, don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the times we had, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
And, please, remember
That I never lied
And, please, remember
How I felt inside now, honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now, sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
Don't you cry, don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby, maybe someday
Don't you cry, don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Civil war
"What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men you just can't reach
So you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it, well, he gets it
I don't like it any more than you men"
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of god and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
Did you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said, peace could last forever
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fighting
For their promised land
And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
You're power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't wanna hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of god or human rights
Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
"We practice selective annihilation
Of mayors and government officials
For example to create a vacuum then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances, peace is closer"
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
You're power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
You're power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war
What's so civil about war, anyway?
knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I, yeah!
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is coming down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I, yeah!
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
"You just better start sniffing your own
Rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just
You against your tattered libido, the bank
And the mortician, forever man and it
Wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive"
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I, yeah!
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Nightrain
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
Well, I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
And, honey, you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail
With a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you, honey
You can take my money tonight
Wake up late
Honey put on your clothes
Take your credit card
To the liquor store
That's one for you and
Two for me by tonight
I'll be loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
Ready to crash and burn
I never learn
I'm on the nightrain
I love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain
Never to return, no
Loaded like a freight train
Flyin' like an aeroplane
Speedin' like a space brain
One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain
An I'm lookin' for some
I'm on the nightrain
So's I can leave this slum
I'm on the nightrain
And I'm ready to crash an' burn
Nightrain
Bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain
Fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain
I'm on the nightrain
Love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain
An I can never get enough
Ridin' the nightrain
I guess, I
I guess, I guess, I guess
I never learn
On the nightrain
Float me home
Oohh, I'm on the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Never to return
Nightrain
Used to love her
I used to love her
But i had to kill her
I used to love her
But i had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
I used to love her
But i had to kill her
I used to love her
But i had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now we're happier this way
I used to love her
But i had to kill her
I used to love her
But i had to kill her
I had to put her, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain yeah-eeeah
Patience
One, two, one, two, three, four
Shed a tear cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said, "Woman, take it slow
And it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience"
Said, "Sugar, make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience"
Patience
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said, "Woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, "Sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it"
We won't fake it
I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it
Little patience
Need a little patience
Just a little patience
Some more patience
I've been walking the streets at night
Just trying to get it right (need some patience)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd
(Could use some patience)
And the streets don't change but, baby, the names
I ain't got time for the game
(Gotta have some patience)
'Cause I need you
But I need you (all it takes is patience)
I need you (just a little patience)
I need you (is all you need)
This time
Paradise City
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won't you, please, take me home?)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won't you, please, take me home?)
Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Rags to riches or so, they say
You gotta keep pushing for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you, please, take me home, yeah, yeah?
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see
Tell me who ya gonna believe
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah, yeah
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you, please, take me home, yeah?
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said, turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind, are you blind?
I've seen it all a million times
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah, yeah!
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you, please, take me home?
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah, yeah!
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you, please, take me home, home
Oh, I want to go, I want to know
Oh, won't you, please, take me home?
I want to see how good it can be
Oh, won't you, please, take me home?
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you, please, take me home?
Take me down, take me down
Oh, won't you, please, take me home?
I want to see how good it can be
Oh, won't you, please, take me home?

Oh, won't you, please, take me home?
Yeah, baby!
