It's my life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive (It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your owns breaks

It's my life
And It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live when I'm alive (It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend don't break, baby don't back down

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever 
I just wanna live when I'm alive (It's my life) 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive 

It's my life 
And it's now or never 
I ain't gonna live forever 
I just wanna live when I'm alive (It's my life) 
My heart is like an open highway 
Like Frankie said "I did it my way" 
I just want to live while I'm alive 
'Cause it's my life!

Livin' on a prayer

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union´s been on strike
He´s down on his luck...it´s tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says we´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
it doesn´t make a difference
If we make it or not
We´ve got each other and that´s a lot
For love - we´ll give it a shot

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he´s holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it´s tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it´s okay, someday
We´ve got to hold on to what we´ve got
it doesn´t make a difference
If we make it or not
We´ve got each other and that´s a lot
For love - we´ll give it a shot

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Livin´on a prayer

Solo

Oooooooh
We´ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when that´s all that you´ve got

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer


 


 


 


You give love a bad name


 


Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love, a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
you promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
when passion's a prison, you can't break free

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
yeah, whoa...
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

You paint that smile on your lips
blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
whoa...
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love...

Shot through the heart
and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart
and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name


 


 


 


 


Keep the faith


 


Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won

Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son

Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate (please believe me)
Everybody's bitching 'cause they can't get enough
When it's hard to hold on
And there's no one to lean on

Faith!: You know you're gonna live trough the rain
Lord we've gotta keep the faith
Faith!: Dont you let your love turn to hate
Now we've gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we've gotta keep the faith

Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me "all's forgiven"
Just hide behind your pride

Yeahyeah!

Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate (please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding 'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on

Faith!: You know you're gonna live trough the rain
Lord we've gotta keep the faith
Faith!: Dont you know it's never too late
Right now we gotta keep the faith
Faith!: Dont you let your love turn to hate
Lord we gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith
Oh we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith

Oh Oh Yeahyeahyeah!

(Guitar Solo)

I've been walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I dont like what i see no more
Sometimes i wish i was blind
Sometimes i wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away this pain

Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith!: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith!: don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on yeah
Keep the faith
keep the faith
Everybody keep the faith!


 


 


 


Someday I'll be Saturday night


 


Hey man, I'm alive
I'm takin' each day a night at a time
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
Been sleepin' in my car, my dreams moves on

My name is Billy G., my love is bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went , Took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better but at least I'm getting paid

Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive

Hey man, I'm alive I'm takin each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey man gotta live my life
Like I aint got nothing 
But this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a monday
But someday I´ll be Saturday night

Now I can't say my name and tell you where I am
I wanna roll myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone else's soul and someone else's face

Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive

Hey, man I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey man I got to live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday but, someday I'll be Saturday night

Saturday night
Here we go

Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doing alright
It may not be tomorrow, baby thats ok
I ain't going down, gonna find a way

Hey, hey, hey man
I'm alive, I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by

Hey, hey, hey, hey man I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night

I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night ... all right
All right ... all right
Saturday night


 


 


 


 


Rockin' In The Free World
 
There are colors in the night
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People swimmin' in their shoes
But there's a warming sign on the road ahead
Some people are sayin' we'd better off dead
I Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hands
by an old street light
Near a garbage can
she puts the kid away, she's gone to get a hit
she hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

We got a thousand points of life
For the homeless man
We got this kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
we Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says gotta keep that hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got goals to strive

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world


 


 


 


Something to believe in


 


I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone

Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
Been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too

Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe the dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to believe in.

If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe the dope
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to believe in.


 


 


 


Wanted dead or alive


 


It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I drive all night just to get back to home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
The times when you're all alone all you do is think

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (wanted) dead or alive

Oh and I ride!

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive

And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive


 


 


 


Runaway


 


On the streets  where you live girls talk about their social lives
They`re made of lipstick, plastic and paint
a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life, all your life,
all you`ve asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you
she was living in an other world
Tryin' to get her message through

No-one heard a single word you said
they should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway

A different line every night, guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Combing for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you

You know she likes the lights at night on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hopes to find

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway

No-one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head

Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say

Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
(Repeat to fade)


 


 


 


In and out of love


 


Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned

In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya.

Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone
I got another show
There's one more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Was all she left of her with me

In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playin
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
We're gonna get you.
In and out of love...


 


 


 


I don't like Mondays


 


The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x)
I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turned to their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are ( no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (3x)
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles with the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh

The silicon chip inside her head,
Gets switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (2x)
(Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like, I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays (2x)
I want to shoot the whole day down


 


 


 


 


Just older


 


Hey, man it's been awhile do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was 17 a little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years and miles and memories
I'm still chasing dreams, but I ain't lookin' over my shoulder

I like the bed i'm sleeping in
It's just like me its broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in its alright with me
It's not old, just older

It's good to see your face
You ain't no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world
we were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave
And were standing here shoulder to shoulder

I like the bed i'm sleeping in
It's just like me its broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in its alright with me
It's not old, just older

I'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You can roll the dice 'till they call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose, yeah

Well, I look in the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines staring back at me
Now the nights have grown a little bit colder
Hey man, I gotta run
You take care
If you see coach T, tell him i've cut my hair
I kept my faith
I still believe I'm just...   

I like the bed i'm sleeping in
It's just like me its broken in
It's not old, just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in its alright with me
It's not old, just older

Something for the pain

Happiness, it's been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do
When you feeling like a headline on yesterday's news

Come on , Come on, Come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from
A hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right, something like you
Come on, Come on, Come on

Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me
I opened up my heart but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover, just to get screwed
They don't make a bandage that is going to cover my bruise

Come on , Come on, Come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from
A hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right, something like you
Come on, Come on. Come on

Pull me under (help I'm falling)
Run through my veins (night is calling)
To a place (feels like I'm flying)
Where I feel no pain (Christ - I'm dying)
Be the pillow under my head
Give me cover when I'm in my bed
Take me higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, Come on, Come on

Come on , Come on, Come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from
A hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right, something like you

Come on , Come on, Come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from
A hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night
Make me feel all right, something like you

One wild night


 


It's a hot night, the natives are restless
We're sweating by the light of the moon
There's a voodoo mojo brewing at the gogo
That would knock a witch off her broom
We slither on in and shed our skin
Make our way into the bump and the grind
I'm passing by, she gives me the eye
So I stop to give her a light

Na-na-na-na-na-na...alright!

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

Havin' as much fun as you can in your clothes
Margarita had me feelin' alright
Just might be I found religion
I've been on my knees for half of the night
I'm rolling the bones with Jimmy 'no dice'
Gonna take him for a couple weeks' pay
Man, if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home
So I stopped
But you're not gonna believe who comes walking out

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)
One wild night (welcome to the party)
One wild night (life is for the living so You gotta
live it up, come on let's go)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

Na-na-na-na-na-na...

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)
One wild night (welcome to the party)
One wild night (life is for the living so You gotta
live it up, come on let's go)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

One wild night, one wild night
One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night
