I heard about the Easter bunny Presents under a Christmas tree It was dreaming and fantasy There was no Mom or Daddy
I wanted everything
I had the world on my shoulder But I was getting older Knew I was ready for it Some kind of employment
All day working on a truck Bringing the groceries up Not much of a salary No tip for the delivery
Involved in a robbery There's money in the supermarket And I'm goin' in after it I wanted everything
Don't Come Close
You know it's generally known You got everything at home Kisses out of desperation Bring you more aggravation
And you don't come close You don't come close You don't come close You don't come close

You turn red with rage But act your age Only thing that your regret You need more time to forget

Oh, I thought I was smart I stole her heart Didn't think I do But now I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead Take his love instead And one day she will see just how to save me
And get down on her knees That's how it begins She'll feel those needles and pins Oh no, oh no
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong I'm wrong, so wrong Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong
Because I saw her today I saw her face It was a face I love And I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray That they go away

All's Quiet On The Eastern Front
Watch the watch the way I walk Can't you think my movements talk Watch the watch the way I walk Can't you think my movements talk
See me silently quietly creep I am too amped up to sleep lamp rays shining down Street lamps make the bussing sound subway Creaking down below garbage piled up and ready to go
Lock the windows the gates on taxi in the Distance coming along stalking the streets Till the break of day New York beauty take my Breath away near some cats but dog's don't bark cool cats strolling after dark
Watch the watch the way I walk Can't you think my movements talk Watch the watch the way I walk Can't you think my movements talk
Shaky lock and kicky door smokey air that I adore down in the alley is where I hunt All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the streets till the break of day New York beauty take my breath away
Watch the watch the way I walk Can't you think my movements talk Watch the watch the way I walk Can't you think my movements talk Can't you think my movements talk Can't you think my movements talk

I'm not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life Of the poor man's struggle Of the killer's knife I am not afraid of life Of an insane rage Of the minimum wage I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life
But i see an old lady with a shopping bag And i wonder is life a drag
I am not afraid of pain But it hurts so bad I feel so mad No one see the truth There's nothing to gain A life goes down the drain Don't want to die at an early age
I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life
But i see a street crazy shivering with cold Is it a crime to be old
There's the threat of the nuclear bomb We know it's wrong We know it's wrong Is there a chance for peace Will the fighting ever cease Mankind's almost out of luck A maniac could blow us up
I am not afraid of life I am not afraid of life
But i get down on my knees and i pray Is there hope for the world today
Too tough to die
I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy I tell no tales i do no lie
I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy Halo round my head to tough to die
Main attraction in a freak side show Down in the basement where the cobwebs grow On my last leg just gettin' by Halo round my read too tough to die
Rainy days rain cool wine I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine Hot sweat on my face I feel like goin' out someplace
Up late light my chocolate sweet Down at the gym where the muscle boys meet I am very nice guy very sincere In real good shape i have no fear
At the concert when the band comes on I am in the ring where i belong On my last leg just gettin' by Halo round my head too tough to die

She came from a happy home A very happy home A very happy home
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all worked out But things aren't what they seem Is this real or just a dream And things will never ever be the same again
She came from a happy home A very happy home A home of happiness
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally She had it all in place But things aren't what they seem Is this real or just a dream Things will never ever be the same again

She came from a happy home A very happy home A very happy scene
She caught him with another It turns out it was her mother What a trag |
