I WANT MORE (6:10)
I want more
people call me rebel
hard to reach
well I just don't subscribe to the shit you preach
stay on the path, don't you play in the dirt
nobody move, nobody gets hurt
the devil loves an open mind
touch yourself and you go blind
nobody gets hurt
if that's what life is for
why do I want more (I want more)
why do I want more (I want more)
gotta live today
cuz when I'm old it's too late
won't let it slip away
mother cries and wonders
where she failed
father says the fast lane leads to hell

SEARCH AND DESTROY (3:30)
I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy
the one who searches and destroys
honey, gotta help me please
somebody gotta save my soul
baby, detonate for me
look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology
ain't got time to make no apology
soul radiation in the dead of night
love in the middle of a fire fight
honey, gotta strike me blind
somebody gotta save my soul
baby, penerate my mind
and I'm the world's forgotten boy
the one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
and honey I'm the world's forgotten boyt
the one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
forgotten boy, forgotten boy
forgotten boy said hey forgotten boy

53rd AND 3rd (2:47)
if you think you can, well, come on man
I was a green beret in Vietnam
no more of your fairy stories
'cause I got my other worries
53rd and 3rd
standing on the street
53rd and 3rd
I'm tryin' to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd
you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd
don't it make you feel sick?
if you think you can, well, come on man
I was a green beret in Vietnam
said no more of your fairy stories
'cause I got my other worries
53rd and 3rd
standing on the street
53rd and 3rd
I'm tryin' to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd
you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd
don't it make you feel sick?
then I took out my razor blade
then I did what God forbade
now the cops are after me
but I proved that I'm no sissy
53rd and 3rd
standing on the street
53rd and 3rd
I'm tryin' to turn a trick
53rd and 3rd
you're the one they never pick
53rd and 3rd
don't it make you feel sick?
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd
53rd and 3rd

BABYLON (2:57)
wow, when I woke up this morning boys, I was gone
my girlfriend asked me where do I come from
put my face up in the mirror just to clock my wares
first thing I know I gotta get outta here, go back to
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay 'cuz in Babylon
havin' too much fun 'cuz of Babylon
I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down to Babylon
I'm gone to Babylon
I was just drivin' 'round tonight boys but I was gone
when the coppers asked me where do I come from
one looks at my cards, one checks my I.D.
with this junk on my face it's so easy to see, I'm from
I gotta get around to Babylon
she's been massagin' all day but she's thinkin' 'bout you Daddy
an' thinkin' 'bot you Daddy 'till they all go away
so when she's up there dancin' she's a tryin' to make a buck
tryin' to grind 'em to some nightrain
tryin' to give 'em all the luck of
I won't be safe child
nobody's safe 'till they're in Babylon
I'm gone to Babylon

NOBODY'S HOME (4:44)
just another day
livin' in a dream
doesn't make no difference
nothin's what it seems
I've had it up to here
gotta get away
think I'm goin' crazy
don't know what I say
I would go insane
if I had a brain
weirdorama psychodome
the lights are out but nobody's home
weirdorama psychodome
the lights are out but nobody's home
nobody's home
majorly confused
don't know what to feel
soon I'm gonna lose it
nothin' is forreal
me I'm just like you
I don't have a clue
gettin' lovey dovey with my semi-automatic
trippin' on acid and TV static
civilization turned creature feature
the Jung at heart are going back to Nietzsche
leave name and number after the tone
'cuz nobody's home
