Hey Kid in the back with your arms crossed You Won’t dance, and now you’re mad you just Shut down anything that ain’t comin’ right Up your narrow ass indie-rock alley, go Back To the coffee shop and shut the folk up You’re just mad because you just broke up Shit, man I can’t stand it and now you’re talking trash- Get Down or get out I’ma tell you what it’s all about: I don’t do it for the glory That’s a common misconception ‘Cause with very few exceptions I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the… Hey haters take a number, form a line I guess You just forgot who’s got the spotlight and the mic, c’mon Shut your phone off and cut those little quips, we’re turnin’ Up the guitar, take your girl by the hips we’re going Back To the basics, gotta teach her how to twist and now You’re just jealous and you’re ballin’ up your fist! Bull Shit stays out the door, take it out on the dance floor Down boy, alpha male, scream it till I’m sore: I don’t do it for the glory That’s a common misconception ‘Cause with very few exceptions I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the girls! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! I do it all for the…

Big City, First time Streets of gold, women and wine Boozin' and Usin' and i'm takin what's mine So if your record's clean you're committing a crime Straighten up, no thanks I'll take my dirty money and put it in the bank While I'm at it, I'll rub it in your face Don't need no full house, I'm a standalone ace If you wanna win, you gotta be mean So wear gloves if you wanna keep your hands clean The world has one rule, that I obey Sinner takes all, so get out of my way Sinner takes all! (Sinner takes all) Black shoes, shark fin Sharpening my teeth and i'm ready to win I'm stealin and I'm dealin and I'm getting paid My life is ecstasy cause I'm always getting laid If you wanna win, you gotta be mean So wear gloves if you wanna keep your hands clean The world has one rule, that I obey Sinner takes all, so get out of my way Sinner takes all! (Sinner takes all) You got greed, you got lust Gluttony, and wrath's a must When you got money, who needs trust? I hit you one more time before you go bust If you wanna win, you gotta be mean So wear gloves if you wanna keep your hands clean The world has one rule, that I obey Sinner takes all, so get out of my way Sinner takes all! (Sinner takes all)

A Tender touch can do so much, I know I shouldn't but you're makin' me blush So I sit on my hands before they fly away Sur La Fênetre, Tarte Cerise Mon Cherie, I'm on my knobby knees I'm tryin' to be good, but it's not easy for me Strip Me Down, if you want to Mess Me round, if you want to Sweat Me Loud, if you want to In the mornin' I'll be leavin' town Shake Me harder and faster It's not your heart that I'm after If you're reelin' I can show you how There's a time for love and it ain't right now Alright you got me, you wore me down Long as you know we're just foolin' around You tryna take me places with your stare Tryna tell you, I'm already there We gotta get a few things straight I'll be your lover, no mistake But if you think I'm gonna make you mine You'll be waiting for a long damn time Strip Me Down, if you want to Mess Me round, if you want to Sweat Me Loud, if you want to In the mornin' I'll be leavin' town Shake Me harder and faster It's not your heart that I'm after If you're reelin' I can show you how There's a time for love and it ain't right now If you really wanna Sweat Me Loud, ya say (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) C'mon, babe, Sweat Me Loud (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Ahhhh Sweat me loud! (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) (Chorus)

From this height, I see everything below Good and bad, lost and found, the things you’ll never want to know From this height, upon the tower, the city looks so small It’s only me against the shadows, I am become the darkest knight And as I dive, the lights and colors blur And as I dive, the streets rise to greet me It’s alright, I’ve done it all so many times before It’s alright, it all belongs to me Become the night! Become the night! I can die but I cannot be killed Become the night! Become the Night! If I don’t fight, who will Become the night ! Become the night! Two shots can start a war that never ends Become the night! Become the Night! Waking nightmare, but in dreams I walk with them I wear the mask, so the sun won’t see my face And when it sets, I tear it off, throw it to the fireplace Across the sky they carve my name, I hear a million desperate screams Broken bones will be my signature, they’ll know what vengeance means And as I drive, the city parts before me It's alright, I know the streets too well And on this night, the cackle of a madman splits the clouds above But it’s alright, I’ll drag him to my hell

The Basement 03:13
Now I'm not one to whine Or gaze at shoes to pass the time So what, the girls don't call Got a stack of trades to break my fall We could never drink and drive (No!) Tried to get the car, my mom said said (No!) It's friday night, I'm not going out I'm going down, just like Bruce and Barbara Alfred, Dick, and even Jason! I'm going to the basement! Wall to wall with DVD's Fingers thick with nacho cheese Comic book carpet, wash your hands You turn the page you wash your hands Now I'm not the type to cry but I got choked up when kirk's dad died So what if the girls don't get it Long as I've got trek, no need to sweat it We would never button mash, No! Gettin' Blisters Playin' Super Smash, Woah! It's Saturday, you got no place to go There's a movie marathon below Bring Dr. Pepper, make a statement I pledge allegiance to the basement!

We’ve been having trouble just keeping a crowd Nobody’s been dancing and we’re playing too loud All the good clubs have kicked us out So we’re going transpacific to make Tokyo shout The risin’ sun is killing me, it’s comin’ too bright I gotta wear my shades after what happened last night Record breakin’ riot, the van went up in flames The police gonna tell you rock ‘n roll is to blame Too much flash is gonna make you go blind And too much fame will drive you outta your mind I don’t care, I’m working hard as I can to get us banned B-B-B-Banned in Japan! Banned in Japan! Banned in Japan! Banned in Japan! You know the fight was long but we’re halfway done A challenger approaches when a battle is won We’re filling up the theaters, we’re on a barrel roll The combo meter’s full, we’re flyin’ out of control Got all the critics scared and they’re out on the run Girl, we got some bruises- but ain’t we havin’ fun? Easy overdoes it got no diplomatic Tact We’re gonna get deported, I don’t wanna go back! No, Shibuya’s where it’s at!

Mustang 02:17
In days of old when knights were bold A man had steel and steed A sword to fight, A horse to ride Back then, That's all you need Knights are gone, Time marched on And chivalry has died But I still got my steel and steed It's a mustang that I ride I won't take no Coupe Toyota I need a little baby with a detroit motor Mustang! Mustang! Mustang! Hammer to the floor and my hands in the air Got a leather jacket, got it painted on the back It says "Leader of the Pack" Now my collar's up, my window's down I'm never comin' back A perfect Ten from Sixty-Nine, with a Cobra jet V-8 She's a fastback shaker, when I meet my maker I know I won't be late I won't take no Coupe Toyota I need a little baby with a detroit motor Mustang! Mustang! Mustang! Hammer to the floor and my hands in the air The roads was slick and the air was thick with teenage wanderlust Didn't pack no bags, just a full tank of gas Los Angeles or bust I tried to drift when I hit that curve Despite the driving rain When they found me in that drainage ditch They had to use a crane A James Dean Death and a V8 Ford Tell me who could ask for more? Mustang! Mustang! Mustang! Devil's got me in a hole 'n still I'm boogiein' with Bolan, screamin' Mustang! Mustang! Mustang! M-U-S-T-A-N-G

When we met it was just you and me and we had so much fun I always thought that when the time was right that I would be the one Just when I thought I'd finally built up the nerve there's a stranger sleeping in your bed All the sudden I've got nothing to lose I'd be happier if he was head I wanna kill your boyfriend I wanna set fire to his house I wanna lock all the doors and windows so there's no chance of survivin' wanna kill your boyfriend and if I should see him on the street I'm just gonna hit him with my car and keep on drivin' You know I woulda done it all for you But you still said "no way" I wrote a couple dozen songs for you But you just threw them away You know that you meant the world to me You only saw me as an empty threat You never took me very seriously Well, that's something that you're gonna regret I wanna kill your boyfriend I wanna set fire to his house I wanna lock all the doors and windows so there's no chance of survivin' wanna kill your boyfriend and if I should see him on the street I'm just gonna hit him with my car and keep on drivin' I'll never forget the first time I saw you walk into class Following behind my girl and watching her ass I couldn't believe she could fall for your cliché charms Next thing I know she's all wrapped up in your suntanned arms I did everything I could to keep her by my side but she was a sucker for your swimmer's bod and your phony smile I can't stand to see the two of you touch God dammit, I hate you so fucking much I wanna kill your boyfriend I wanna set fire to his house I wanna lock all the doors and windows so there's no chance of survivin' wanna kill your boyfriend and if I should see him on the street I'm just gonna hit him with my car and keep on drivin' I wanna kill your boyfriend I wanna see the smoke rise in the air I wanna see it all come burning down Kill your boyfriend I wanna feel him crushed beneath my wheels I want him to know how bad that feels Kill your boyfriend

I know it's a little cliche to say goodbye this way But girl, we been together so long I figure I owe you one more song. We drank deep from a cup, poured by cupid But I guess the potion must have been diluted Cuz Somewhere in there, love's labors were lost You were my sunshine, now you're my little hoth Though we pretended our hearts stayed true, I wasn't an angel, and neither were you Once upon a time, we heard wedding bells But no more wine and roses, just this rotting smell Just remember, this isn't goodbye- It's I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL (Chorus) Like a worm, you're in my Heart Making holes that are never to close Like a hole, in my head I need you baby, what I need you is dead i burned that picture of us, with the tie-dye sky The edges curled like a bittersweet smile and I started to cry But what about the things that just wouldn't burn? That ring of gold? Well truth be told, next time I'll learn If she wants a trinket to make love out of lust, I won't buy her anything that lasts longer than us Though I know that you may cry too, When your tears are fallin' they don't just fall on you They're hittin' your new guy on Just remember, this isn't goodbye- It's I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL Like a worm, you're in my Heart Making holes that are never to close Like a hole, in my head I need you baby, what I need you is dead

Just Dandy 03:26
I know I'm skinny but I ain't pretty I ride the bus, and I don't cash fat checks But that don't stop me, I'm the king of this city Mad modern monarchy: La Ville, C'est Moi That's not to say that I ain't seen some rough days It's just my coat that has the silver lining Ripped off, put down, I had to learn the hard way: On your back in the gutter you can see the stars My dog days are done My rat race is run You know I aim to stun But baby, I don't need a gun to blow you away I'm doin' just Dandy (Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay) Black magic in a white suit (white suit white suit) And I've been feelin' just Dandy (Ay-yay-yay-yay-yay) Silver bow tie and wings on my sneakers Crank up the Kinks Till it Blows out my Speakers Drop a needle on me, I feel groovy Black strat on attack, I'm bringing Beatle Boots Back C'mon take a picture, Put me in a movie Just shoot me! Shoot me! Lemme see that flash You can't stop me, You can't stop me You can't stop me flying through the air You won't see me, You won't see me Pushin' up the throttle, God help you when I hit mach one
