Cherry 02:35
I’m not here to entertain Don’t gotta know my name Ain’t gonna play no cards When ya see me, you’ve gone too far Ain’t gonna teach ya right from wrong I never learned when I was young But running low and flying high You can’t say it’s passed you by It just don’t seem right, babe This time around Just can’t be satisfied Till you’re all the way down Good times never last babe, But you know I do That’s the way it always goes I got all the time to lose I won’t be perfect for ya Don’t know if I’ll try And I wont be just as pretty On the day I die When you gotta find your next move Don’t look to me for a clue Cause I can tell ya whats good and bad Just the same as you Tell me it’s me, babe It’s alright I ain’t gonna die Don’t need to sugar coat it I don’t drink cherry wine Good times never last, babe But you know I do That’s the way it always goes I got all the time to lose

City Kings 01:50
Death race on the streets tonight City Kings looking for a fight White lines, no sleep Got a death wish, don’t fuck with me We never run We come out after the sun One step ahead of the law City Kings On the streets tonight Driving down the mainland 100 miles an hour On the road for a good time Moving faster than a hungry tiger We never sleep Ain’t got an ounce of fatigue One thing I know for sure City Kings On the streets tonight We never die We’re built with steel We stay alive You’ll never shoot us down City Kings

Punisher 01:58
Don’t need to stay in touch When I don’t know your name And you should know by now I don’t have much to say You’re going off on things I’ve heard ten times before Give me something new I’m starting to get bored You’ve got the talk Before you got the words You’re a punisher So many nights I’ve seen The same thing that you do Can’t even bear to think About all the time you chew I know it ain’t your fault It’s just the way you do But I just get the urge To fill your mouth with glue You’ve got the talk Before you’ve got the words You’re a punisher Saw it in your eyes I read between white lines You’re a punisher Punisher, you’re a punisher

So you’re looking for a hell of a time Something to blow you away Think I got what you’ve been looking for If you wanna stay Clear as day in Your shining eyes And we both know just What-you-want Engine screaming For your life Keeping the night so Long-long-long There ain’t no question ‘bout it You got a devil on your shoulder Got it all but you need more Gonna run ya down to the core To me it’s all just fun and games The only way you can kill your pain Clear as day in Your shining eyes And we both know just What-you-want Engine screaming For your life Keeping the night so Long-long-long There ain’t no question ‘bout it You got a devil on your shoulder
5.
The Ram 02:30
Highway for miles Far as the eye can see Acceleration, all the way All we want is speed They say we should slow down And this ain’t no way to be But we all know this is the only road That leads us to be free There ain’t no future No signs ahead When will you learn that we just Speed until we’re dead Bad attitude, leather and boots We are the prowlers Walk slow, we’ll meet you there We’ll be there in an hour We do it fast, we’re built to last With steel and power No hope in sight, but we don’t care We ain’t no cowards We ain’t here for life Just living for the night Not here to do it right, just Speed until we’re dead We see the truth We know it all leads to destruction Don’t matter to me at all Im just waiting for the sunset We love to have a time Don’t mind a fight Born of the Ram, here for the fire We’re here all night Night after night It’s all we know in life Not here to relax, only to- Don’t care if we’re alive You know we’ll all just end up Born of the Ram
6.
All I Need 02:52
Fast girls and faster drugs I live for the excitement I’ve done it every way Ain’t seen nothing like it Do anything you want But don’t tell me that I’m wrong And babe we’ll scream and shout We’ll dance all night long Cause that’s all I need If it ain’t for you It don’t bother me And that’s all I need If it ain’t for you It don’t bother me The years have passed me by And I couldn’t care less I don’t look in the mirror When I’m getting dressed And you could ask us why We choose to live like this But we’ll just tell you it’s cause We don’t give a shit Cause that’s All I need If it ain’t for you It don’t bother me And that’s All I need If it ain’t for you It don’t bother me Late night I’m wired I’m grinning ear to ear Feeling like heaven cause I’m locked in 13th gear They say tomorrow should just Fill our heads with fear We say tomorrow we’ll just Have another beer Cause that’s All I need If it ain’t for you It don’t bother me And that’s All I need If it ain’t for you It don’t bother me

1989 03:06
Do you want to live Or do you wanna die Well, you got no choice And it ain’t no lie Cause I’m here to tell ya That it don’t get better The only way to live Is like an armageddon Six thousand miles, six thousand roads But you can’t get off your own You’ve got to be built with steel Cause maybe the sun won’t come Maybe it was never real The thrill of it all Got you on your toes The money’s running out Don’t know where it goes You think it’s only you Cause you’re a different breed And the key to the kingdom No ones ever seen Six thousand miles six thousand roads But you can’t get off your own You’ve got to be built with steel Cause maybe the sun won’t come, Maybe it was never real Cause I’m here to tell you That it don’t get better The only way to live Is like an armageddon Cause I’m here to tell you You can’t waste your time It ain’t any different in 1989 It’s all you’ve ever wanted Since you saw it on tv It’s what you’ve always known The way you want it to be Living in the city Having fun just like me Well brother I’ll have you know It’s ain’t all that easy Six thousand miles six thousand roads But you can’t get off your own You’ve got to be built with steel Cause maybe the sun won’t come, Maybe it was never real Cause I’m here to tell you That it don’t get better The only way to live Is like an armageddon Cause I’m here to tell you You can’t waste your time It ain’t any different in 1989

WW3 01:38
Wake up from a nightmare Bullets flying everywhere Will you decide to look into the light We stay courageous when we’re Walking to our own death We all know that what they do ain’t right What can we do, I don’t know Should we sit back and watch the show Another bomb, ain’t what I need Don’t wanna be the winner Of World War 3 What’s going through your head When you start to think of them The same bastards you see on TV Are you with them Or against us all You’ve got a choice to rise or fall Who’s got the answers, no one knows Only the man who runs the whole show Means to an end, is something I can’t see It’s just another number In World War 3 Can you see the dollar signs In their greedy little eyes, A buck for every time they take a life Glory and freedom Only costing us their peace Don’t wanna be the winner Of World War 3

Make or break, I got a deal for you You’ll never win and you’ll never lose Another day in a back alley bar Put your money on the table It ain’t going far Too bad, but I ain’t sad I’ll keep rolling till I’m where you’re at Shot of James and hold the ice, Watch your back, cause we ain’t so nice Don’t get on your high horse tonight It’ll lead you straight to the edge of a knife Too bad, but I ain’t mad, I’ll keep rolling till I’m where you’re at Cards lying on the table, While I’m lying to you No matter what, you gotta pay your dues Bones sticking to your hands like glue Man, take a look around you Nothing to lose Too bad, but I ain’t sad I’ll keep rolling till I’m where you’re at Too bad, but I ain’t mad I’ll keep rolling till I’m where you’re at

I’m a dog, babe A mutt with a bite I’m colorblind, babe I can’t see the light All the years, I throw myself a bone But in the end I ain’t got no home These chains ain’t tight enough It’s no fun if you dont make it rough There’s another way out the pound Don’t gotta dig, cause it ain’t far down Ain’t all bad as it seems Just gotta stay alive You never lose, you almost win And the cards don’t lie Ain’t all bad as it seems Don’t be scared to fight You never lose, you almost win You never lose Beyond the eyes of simple man The image of a beast Turn around, don’t look too hard I know that you’ll see It spins around with a face so cold Something’s in the air The fear you feel won’t hurt a soul, But you’ll know it’s there You never lose, you almost win
