Just found out from the banker man
we've go to get on
pushed on out by a changing land
high times are times long gone
mama raised us in that house
that my grandad, he built
but there ain't no room in this land of drought
where our blood and sweat spilled on the ground
learn to fight
(whistle)
learn to fight
learn to fight
we've been whipped by industrial hands
tossed to the way side
marginalized by the western man
this ain't the promised life we planned
we ain't well, we're tired out
but were tough people
a mixed up world, were figuring out
how to overcome evil in times of doubt
learn to fight
(whistle)
learn to fight
(guitar break)
learn to fight
(whistle)
learn to fight
learn to fight

I'm a Doll

I think you're sexy, and I am too
dressed to nine to be stripped by you
down to the bone, i live for style
i want to look good while I'm alive
I want to look good
'cuz I'm a doll
I want to look good
'cuz I'm a doll
Young hard bodies, equipped for fun
play with me while were still young
beauty doesn't have to be pain
when you're a doll, you make your own way
I want to look good
'cuz I'm a doll
I want to look good
'cuz I'm a doll
The record player plays a primal groove
so pump it up in the playroom
vinyl licorice so sticky sweet
I'm right here babe, come for me
I want to look good
'cuz I'm a doll
I want to look good
'cuz I'm a doll

Man in Motion

He's a man in motion
through a city of corrosion
he rides to be set free to flow
to fly with the wings that the devil broke
...he goes...
He's a daylight dreamer
in a world of non-believers
spends all night up alone
to lift the veil of mystery on the song unsung
Oh, oh, oh - yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh - yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh
Some say he's crazy
but they're not brave or free
he's seen the sunrise so many times
the fearless child born to rise on fire
Oh, oh, oh - yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh - yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh
(Solo)
Oh, oh, oh - yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh - yea, yea, yea
Oh, oh, oh

I saw a beautiful angel
Dressed in her white lace
Standing alone by the dance floor
Falling from the sky of grace, the sky of grace
So I went down to meet her
Ask her for a chance
Tell me, girl, what a young man can
Do to make love to you
(she said)
Every Penny Helps
I can’t resist temptation
When it come in a shape like this
I”ll buy you two of everything
If you’ll give just a little kiss, a little *mwah
I took her all around town
And bought it all
She showed me what a pearl a girl
Can be when everything’s free
Every Penny Helps
I can’t get you out of my mind
I want to make you mine
For the rest of my life
tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
tell me girl what a young man can
do to make love to you
Every penny helps

Let’s go baby, let’s get wild
Loud is beautiful, we’re shakin’ tiles (let’s go!)
This is how we do, it’s how we live
Full battery and primitive
I’ll show you how to touch, if you show me how to feel, uh
Powder Keg
You’re the rumbling in my head
Powder Keg
Will I see you again?
Super charged woman, amped to go
Crank it once more, we’re gonna blow
Honey drips from the speaker box
The warm syringe of sonic shock
Powder Keg
You’re the rumbling in my head
Powder Keg
Will I see you again?
(Solo)
I’ll show you how to touch, if you show me how to feel
Powder Keg
You’re the rumbling in my head
Powder Keg
Will I see you again?
Powder Keg
You’re the rumbling in my head
Powder Keg
Will I see you again?
