You tell me what you're never gonna be
And I'll show you what you just can't see
If you want good living gotta grab it with your hands
If you don't, then don't bother making no plans
Free being what you want to be
Seeing what you want to see

Unchain your brain

You won't get nothing if you got no wheels
If you got no wheels you'll never know how it feels
There's no reason for the things you said
If you don't get moving you'll pretty soon be dead
Dead and forgotten
Free living the life of a king
You can have everything

Unchain your brain

Everybody fighting for a living in the street
One step back and you're out of the heat
There's just one thing when you set yorself free
You have a good time boy, but watch out for me

. . .


Wow said the king to the fighters in the ring
I sure do think it's funny
The way you punch and you brawl till you can barely crawl
Are you sure you're only in it for the money?

Good golly said the creep to the cop on the beat
I do admire the way you feel a collar
With all the beating and the showing that ain't so lovely doving
Are you sure you only do it for the dollar?

Wow said the judge to the hooker with a nudge
I'm gonna find you all your pleasure
But with the pervs and the kinks and the queer rinky dinks
Are you sure you only do it for the treasure?

Hey man said God to the Devil with a nod
I'm gonna fight you for the human race
But if I beat you with a spell and kick you out of hell
Are you sure that I can take your your place?

I'll be your confidante
Tell me of all your desires
Let me be your confidante
I'll help to put coal on your fires

. . .


Maybe I can love you baby
With all of my heart and everything
But I don't need you to drag me down
If you make me uneasy then I'll start to sing
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I won't see you no more
We do it time and again

I get along without you now
Feeling good I'm on the road again
I tell myself
I can live without you now
I don't need you and there's no pain
But I'm dreaming, dreaming
Baby I love you so
It happens time and again

I think we'd better stay together
It's the best thing for you and me
I'll be your slave and we'll love forever
You'll have my body, but my mind stays free
But I'm dreaming, dreaming
Baby I love you so
We do it time and again
You're always causing me pain
We do it time and again
You always damage my brain

Little John took the easy way
He said bye bye to the light of day
He didn't need a gun and all
He went flying and he took a fall
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way, no no no

I could have told you there's no easy way
You've got to face it there's no easy way, no no no

Little Ann took the easy way
She said take the money and run away
Lie down and look away
Save the money for a rainy day
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way
Every day is a rainy day

You are so lovely, you are so beautiful
Please don't cry, please don't be miserable
You may have problems and you may want to die
But please don't worry, let it all pass by
There's no easy way to shake off sorrow
But maybe the only way is to think about tomorrow

. . .


Big Ann is a working man
Sleeping on the job
She works the night shift does the night shift
Sleeping on the job
She uses so much energy
There's never any left for me
Big Ann is sleeping on the job

Big Ann is a man at the top
Sleeping on the job
The ultra sonic, gin and tonic
Sleeping on the job
She uses so much energy
She's fast asleep by half past three
Big Ann is sleeping on the job

She used to waken up the neighbours
As she distributed favours
And now she's anarchy and treason
But she doesn't give a reason
Annie my baby
Act like a lady
You're sleeping on the job

. . .


Children will play in the street
Crying with glass in their feet
Nowhere to go, nothing to do, no place to go
They've sent you to an institution
They've tied your hands behind your back
Once you were a flying thing
Now you're on the rocks with broken wings

Once you were proud to be a man
You carried out your own tiny part of the plan
You would decide, you'd gamble your pride, but you would decide
And now they've really got you tagged
I saw you in the thinking game
Now you're on the rocks with damaged brains

Hold tight, hold tight, keep those hands on your given birthright
Alright, alright, keep your eyes on the demon in disguise
You must never close your eyes
Right, each night think on back to your given birthright
Hold tight, hold tight, just remember the feeling deep inside you

You know they're trying to steal your thunder
They're trying to erase your face
Once you were a working man
Now you're on the rocks with broken hands

. . .


I could believe in you
The way you left me hot and helpless
I could believe in you
The way your kisses left me hot and helpless
I could believe in you
I want you
If you believe me
I'll stay with you
But if you deceive me
I'll kill you

I feel so lonely
Since you've gone
I feel so lonely
I want you back
If you believe me
I'll never let you go
If you believe me
I'll never let you go
But if you deceive me
I'll let you go

. . .


I was running through an empty street
Turn the corner I could feel the heat
I wore the look of a white face city boy
Knew a knife was the only way
For a kid living day to day
Who cares for a white face city boy

Raised in a hard town
Nobody pushes me around
I got trouble now I'm on the run
Running, white face, city boy

I was running through an empty night
Just the sound of a lovers' fight
And the feeling of the wind upon my face
I was looking for a place to hide
Scared and my eyes were wide
No place for a white face city boy

Live like a wild thing
You can't tell me anything
I got trouble now I'm on the run
Running, white face, city boy

. . .


You make me so nervous that you'd better move away
You make me so nervous, I'll hurt you so move away
You do what is right for me
Behave so considerately
You make me nervous

You planned out my future, you tell me what I should say
You wouldn't know, would you, you're dragging me down each day
I'm leaving you can't you see
There's no more you and me
It makes me nervous

I really believed you when you said you tried to help
But now I'm looking right through you and you only helped yourself
I'm leaving now can't you see
There's no more you and me
You make me nervous
