Peace Of Mind

Lyrics reproduced by kind permission of Michael Monroe & Jude Wilder

WHERE'S THE FIRE, JOHN?
(Michael Monroe, Jude Wilder, Olli Hildén)

END OF THE MILLENIUM IS COMING DOWN DARK
TECHNOLOGY IS BUYING TIME THAT SIMPLY DON'T EXIST
GOD COMPLEX SEARCH DESTROYS
WHATEVER COULD GET IN THE WAY

BE PERFECT, HARDER STRONGER
ALL WORK AND STAY UP LONGER
ALL WE NEED TO KNOW IS
HOW WE'RE GOING TO BREATHE

WHERE'S THE FIRE, JOHN?

PROZAC IN THE BLENDER
AND IT'S OFF THE CHURCH WE GO
INTERNET RELIGION
SPELL YOUR PRAYERS ON THE SCREEN
TAKE YOUR TIME, JUST HURRY UP
OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR PARKING SPACE

CATATONIC IN THE CLOSET
ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD
THERE'S NO SMOKE, NOTHIN'S BURNIN'
IT'S GETTING HARD TO BREATHE

MAKE IT GO AWAY
(Michael Monroe, Jude Wilder)

SO SAD MY LITTLE ONE
WHY ALWAYS SO SAD
SUCH SORROW IN ONE LITTLE LIFE
WHERE DOES IT ALL COME FROM?

WHY CAN'T I MAKE IT GO AWAY
BY JUST LOVING YOU
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HURT YOU SO DEEP
YOU'RE SAFE WITH ME

ISN'T IT ENOUGH TO LOVE YOU
TO MAKE IT GO AWAY
THE PAST KNOWS WHERE TO FIND YOU
JUST MAKE IT GO AWAY

I SEE YOU CRY EVERYDAY
IT'S SO HARD TO TAKE
FACING YOUR DARKNESS YOU SAY
DON'T WORRY I'LL WORK IT OUT

WE'RE NOT FEARFUL
WE CALL IT BY ITS NAME
YOU DON'T GIVE IT CONTROL
YOU TELL IT WHERE TO GO

TAKE YOUR POWER BACK
THERE'S STILL SOME JOY HERE FOR YOU
YOU KNOW WHAT'S HOLDING YOU DOWN
LET GO WITH ME

I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID
SECOND TIME AROUND
DON'T YOU WISH THAT WE WEREN'T THERE
SECOND TIME AROUND

NO MORE GETTING PUSHED AROUND
SECOND TIME AROUND
THOUGHT THAT WE'D GONE UNDERGROUND
SECOND TIME AROUND
NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO SEE
SECOND TIME AROUND
THE WORLD CAN LOOK SO DIFERENTLY
SECOND TIME AROUND

REALLY FAMOUS STINKIN' RICH
SECOND TIME AROUND
STRAIGHT UP THERE WITHOUT A HITCH
SECOND TIME AROUND

OOH SECOND TIME
OOH SICK AND TIRED
OOH SICK AND TIRED, OOH...

NOW I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID
SECOND TIME AROUND
DON'T YOU WISH THAT WE WEREN'T THERE
SECOND TIME AROUND
NO MORE GETTING PUSHED AROUND
SECOND TIME AROUND
BACK TO HAUNT YOU WITH MY SOUND
SECOND TIME AROUND

ALWAYS RIGHT
(Michael Monroe, Jude Wilder)

I DON'T GET TOO LOW
WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG
I DON'T GET TOO HIGH
WHEN EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
I KNOW I'M ALWAYS SAFE
THO' I DON'T PLAY THAT WAY
I LISTEN TO MY SOUL
AND NO ONE ELSE

I'M ALWAYS RIGHT
EVEN WHEN I'M WRONG
IF I GET LOST
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
I'M ALWAYS RIGHT
EVEN WHEN I'M WRONG
I GET PROTECTION FROM MY SOUL

IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL
AND INTIMIDATION
CENTURIES OF HYPE
DESIGNED TO KEEP US DUMB
EVOLUTION POSTPONED
DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST
IT'S NOT WHAT I BELIEVE
IT'S WHAT I KNOW

DRUGS TRYIN' TO USE ME
T.V. TRYIN' TO FAZE ME
COMPUTERS TRYIN' TO PROGRAM ME
I'M NOT USER FRIENDLY
ALL I'VE BEEN TOLD
DISTORTED INFORMATION
BITS AND PIECES MIXED UP IN MY HEAD

RELATIONSHIPWRECKED
(Michael Monroe, Jude Wilder)

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE
FOUND OUT I COULD NOT RELATE
I'M FEELING ANXIOUS AND ON THE DEFENSE
EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL ALWAYS AT MY EXPENSE

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I LAST MET
SOMEBODY I RESPECT
I'M NOT TOO LONELY
I'M ONLY RELATIONSHIPWRECKED

DON'T MIND IF I DISCONNECT
WHAT AM I TRYIN' TO PROTECT?
YOU'RE WAY TOO CHEERFUL WHEN MY WORLD IS BLEAK
JUST DO ME A FAVOUR AND DON'T DO MORE FAVOURS FOR ME

THE LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL'S JUST A TRAIN
I WON'T GET KNOCKED DOWN AGAIN
ALREADY WRECKED BEFORE I EVEN GET ABOARD
NO TIME TO WAIT FOR MY SHIP TO COME IN ANYMORE

LONELINESS LOVES ME MORE
(Michael Monroe, Jude Wilder)

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S AMAZING
THAT I EVEN FUNCTION IN THIS WORLD
THERE'S NO POINT OF REFERENCE
FOR THIS KIND OF GRIEF
DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE

YOU MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED LATELY
THAT I'VE DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY
WITH SOLITUDE, MY LOYAL FAITFUL FRIEND

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S COURAGEOUS
TO BE CONSISTANT WITH CHAOS IN YOUR FACE
WHY D'YOU THINK IT'S SO DEPRESSING
THAT I'M ALWAYS GOOD FOR MY WORD

THE ONLY ONE I'VE EVER LET DOWN
WAS MYSELF FOR SACRIFICING
MY NEEDS FOR EVERYBODY ELSE

IF SOMEONE LOVES ME TONIGHT
LONELINESS LOVES ME MORE

KICK OUT THE JAMS
(MC 5) WARNER BROS. SCANDINAVIA

WELL I FEEL PRETTY GOOD
AN' I GUESS THAT I COULD GET CRAZY NOW, BABE
'COZ WE ALL GOT IN TUNE
NOW THAT THE DRESSING ROOM GOT HAZY NOW, BABE
I KNOW HOW YOU WANT IT
WIND IT UP REAL TIGHT
THE GIRLS CAN'T STAND IT WHEN YOU ARE DOIN' IT RIGHT
PUT ME UP ON THE STAND
AN' LET ME KICKOUT THE JAMS
YEAH, KICK OUT THE JAMS
I GOTTA KICK 'EM OUT!

WELL I'M STARTING TO SWEAT
MY SHIRT'S ALL WET
I GOT THE FEELING
AND THIS SONG THAT I FOUND
GETS ME UP, SENDS ME RIGHT THRU' THE CEILING
GOTTA HAVE IT BABY, YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT
WHEN YOU GET THE FELLING
YOU GOTTA SOCK 'EM OUT
PUT THE MIKE IN MY HAND
AND LET ME KICK OUT THE JAMS
YEAH, KICK OUT THE JAMS
I GOTTA KICK 'EM OUT!

SO YOU GOT TO GIVE IT UP
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T GET ENOUGH IT'S LIKE...
IT GETS IN YOUR VEINS
DRIVES YOU INSANE INTO FRENZY
WAILING GUITARS AND THE CRASH ON THE DRUMS
IF YOU WANNA KEEP ON ROCKIN' TILL THE MORNING COMES
LET ME BE WHO I AM
LET ME KICK OUT THE JAMS
YEAH, KICK OUT THE JAMS
I DONE KICKED 'EM OUT!

NOT ANYMORE
(Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Jimmy Zero)

WALKING DOWN ANOTHER COLD DARK STREET
I’M WAITING FOR THE DAWN
ANOTHER COFFEE SHOP, A BLIMPIE BASE
A-KEEP ME WARM UNTIL DAWN

THE HEAT FROM THE SEWER GRATE DON'T WARM MY BED
THE SNOW AIN'T COLD ANYMORE
FEET ARE SO WET FROM THE HOLES IN MY SHOES
THE CHURCHES LOCKED ALL THEIR DOORS

BUT I DON'T CARE
GO AND PUSH ME AWAY
YOU CAN'T HURT ME ANYMORE
NOT ANYMORE

I’LL SING YOUR HYMNS FOR A CUP A SOUP
SO HUNGRY, I DON'T CARE
AN' HOW 'BOUT LET ME LAY DOWN FOR A LITTLE WHILE
IN A WARM DRY PLACE

OR GIMME A QUARTER FOR THE MOVIES ALL NIGHT
I GOTTA STAY AWAKE
AFRAID OF SLEEPING AND ’M FREEZING TO DEATH
I GOTTA KEEP ME AWAKE

RENTFREE
(Michael Monroe, Jude Wilder)

WHY DID YOU COME HERE
WHO LET YOU IN
WHATEVER THE MOTIVE
YOU CAN'T FEED OFF ME
SINCE I STOPPED CARING
GOT SICK OF HATING
WHY SHOULD I CUT MYSELF
DOWN TO THAT SIZE

YOU DON'T LIVE RENTFREE ME IN MY HEAD
YOU DON'T RESENT THE DUES BIN' PAID
YOU DON'T LIVE RENTFREE IN MY HEAD
YOU DON'T LIVE RENTFREE IN MY BED
NO VACANCY LEFT IN MY SPACE
YOU DON'T LIVE RENTFREE IN MY HEAD

IT DID DISTURB ME
WHEN PEOPLE USED ME
TURNS OUT IT WASTED ME
TWICE AS MUCH TIME
NOW THAT I KNOW BETTER
NIGHT TIME'S ALRIGHT
GOT NO NEEDS EXPECT TO LET GO

TELLIN' ME, TELLIN' ME
YOU DON'T TELL ME ZIP
IT'S ALL JUST CLUTTER
SO I GOT RID OF IT
THREW OUT MY SHITLIST
AND ALL THE NAMES ON IT
I LIVE IN THE PRESENT
AND THE PAST DOES NOT EXIST
