 @SONG: Reckless Life (3:20)
 
 I'm reckless and feelin' no pain
 You know I've got no need to control
 Livin' with the danger
 I'm always on the edge now
 With million dollar visions that I hold
 Livin' like this never ever
 Tore my life apart
 I know how to maintain
 And you know I know my part
 
 On a holiday, a permanent vacation
 I'm living on a cigarette with wine
 I'm never alone 'cause I've got myself
 Yes, I imitate myself all of the time
 
 Livin' like this never ever
 Tore my life apart
 I know how to maintain
 'Cause it's comin' from my heart
 
 I lead a reckless life
 And I don't need your advice
 I lead a reckless life
 And you know it's my only vice
 
 Reckless life
 I lead a reckless life
 I lead a reckless life
 And you know it's my only...
 
 Reckless life
 I lead a reckless life
 I lead a reckless life
 And you know it's my only...
 Hey, hey - yeah!
 
 @SONG: Nice Boys (3:02)
 
 She hit town like a rose in bloom
 Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume
 The color faded and the petals died
 Down in the city, no one cried
 In the streets, the garbage lies
 Protected by a million flies
 The roaches so big
 You know that they got bones
 They moved in and made a tenement home
 
 I said nice boys
 Don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 I'm not a nice boy!
 
 Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
 Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
 She met the man and she did the smack
 Paid the price layin' flat on her back
 Wanted so bad just to please the boys
 They ended up just being a toy
 Played so hard burned her life away
 Lies were told no promises made
 
 You know nice boys
 Don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 I'm not a nice boy and I never was!
 
 Young and fresh when she hit town
 Hot for kicks just to get around
 But now she lays in a filthy room
 She kills the pain with
 A flick and a spoon
 And in the streets the garbage lies
 Protected by a million flies
 You know the roaches so big
 You know that they got bones
 Moved in and made a tenement home
 
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 I bet you mama said
 'Nice boys don't play rock and roll'
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys don't play rock and roll
 Nice boys!
 
 @SONG: Move to the City (3:42)
 
 You pack your bags
 And you move to the city
 There's somethin' missin' here at home
 You fix your hair
 And you're lookin' real pretty
 It's time to get it out on your own
 You're always fightin'
 With your mama and you papa
 Your family life is one big pain!
 When you, you gonna move to the city?
 Into the city where it all began
 
 You gotta move, You gotta move
 Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
 Time you gotta move
 
 You stole your mama's car
 And your daddy's plastic credit card
 You're sixteen and you can't get a job
 You're not goin' very far
 You're always ridin'
 With the teachers and the police
 This life is much too insane!
 When you, you gonna move to the city?
 Into the city where it all began
 
 You gotta move, You gotta move
 Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
 Time you gotta move
 Right to the city
 Where the real men get it
 Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
 Sometimes it gets too shitty!
 Come on and hit me!
 
 You're on the streets
 And it ain't so pretty
 You need to get a new what you please
 You do what you gotta do for the money
 At times you end up on your knees!
 
 I'm always buyin'
 With the local and the junkies
 This city life is one big pain!
 But you, you had to move to the city
 Into the city where it all began
 
 You gotta move, You gotta move
 Ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma,ma
 Time you gotta move
 Oh right to the city
 With the real nitty gritty
 Aw, child, ain't it a pity?
 Sometimes it gets too shitty!
 Come on and hit me!
 
 @SONG: Mama Kin (3:54)
 
 It ain't easy livin' like a gypsy
 Tell ya, honey, how it feels
 I've been dreamin' floatin' down stream
 And losin' touch with all that's real
 Whole lotta lover, keepin' undercover
 Never knowin' where you been-Oo yeah
 You've been fadin', always out paradin'
 Keep in touch with mama kin!
 
 You always got your tail on the wag
 Spittin' fire from your mouth
 Just like a dragon
 You act like a perpetual drag
 You better check it out
 'Cause someday soon
 You'll have to climb back on the wagon
 
 It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
 It's so hard to find piece of mind
 Yes it is
 The way I see it
 You got to say 'shee-it'
 But don't forget to drop me a line
 
 Bald as an egg at eighteen
 And workin' for daddy's such a drag
 You still stuff your mouth
 With his beans
 You better check it out or someday soon
 You'll have to climb back on the wagon
 
 Keep in touch with mama kin
 Tell her where you gone and been
 Livin' out your fantasy
 Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
 Keep in touch with mama kin
 Tell her where you gone and been
 Livin' out your fantasy
 Sleepin' late and suckin' me, oh no
 
 It ain't easy livin' like you wanna
 It's so hard to find piece of mind
 Yes it is
 The way I see it
 You got to say 'shee-it'
 But don't forget to drop me a line
 
 Bald as an egg at eighteen
 And workin' for daddy's just a drag
 You still stuff your mouth
 With his beans
 You better check it out or someday soon
 You'll have to climb back on the wagon
 
 Keep in touch with mama kin
 Tell her where you gone and been
 Livin' out your fantasy
 Sleepin' late and smokin' tea
 Keep in touch with mama kin
 Tell her where you gone and been
 Livin' out your fantasy
 Sleepin' late and suckin' me
 Ohh, ow, ow, ow, yeah! -ow
 
 @SONG: Patience (5:53)
 
 1,2,1,2,3,4
 (whistle)
 Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
 I'm still alright to smile
 Girl, I think about you every day now
 Was a time when I wasn't sure
 But you set my mind at ease
 There is no doubt
 You're in my heart now
 
 Said, woman, take it slow
 It'll work itself out fine
 All we need is just a little patience
 Said, sugar, make it slow
 And we come together fine
 All we need is just a little patience
 (patience)
 Mm, yeah
 
 I sit here on the stairs
 'Cause I'd rather be alone
 If I can't have you right now
 I'll wait, dear
 Sometimes I get so tense
 But I can't speed up the time
 But you know, love
 There's one more thing to consider
 
 Said, woman, take it slow
 And things will be just fine
 You and I'll just use a little patience
 Said, sugar, take the time
 'Cause the lights are shining bright
 You and I've got what it takes
 To make it, We won't fake it,
 I'll never break it
 'cause I can't take it
 
 (whistle)
 ...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
 Need a little patience, yeah
 Just a little patience, yeah
 Some more patience, yeah
 Need some patience, yeah
 Could use some patience, yeah
 Gotta have some patience, yeah
 All it takes is patience,
 Just a little patience
 Is all you need *
 
 I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT
 JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT
 HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
 YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
 BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
 AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
 BUT BABY THE NAME
 I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
 'CAUSE I NEED YOU
 YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
 OO, I NEED YOU
 WHOA, I NEED YOU
 OO, ALL THIS TIME **

 @SONG: Used to Love Her (3:10)
 
 I used to love her
 But I had to kill her
 I used to love her, Mm, yeah
 But I had to kill her
 I had to put her six feet under
 And I can still hear her complain
 
 I used to love her, Oo, yeah
 But I had to kill her
 I used to love her, Oo, yeah
 But I had to kill her
 I knew I'd miss her
 So I had to keep her
 She's buried right in my backyard
 Oh yeah, Oo yeah, whoa, oh yeah
 
 I used to love her
 But I had to kill her
 I used to love her, Mm, yeah
 But I had to kill her
 She bitched so much, She drove me nuts
 And now I'm happier this way, yeah
 Whoa, oh yeah
 
 I used to love her
 But I had to kill her
 I used to love her, Mm, yeah
 But I had to kill her
 I had to put her, Oo, six feet under
 And I can still hear her complain
 
 @SONG: You're Crazy (4:08)
 
 Ow!
 I've been lookin' for a trace
 Lookin' for a heart,
 Lookin' for a lover in a world
 That's much too dark
 Because you don't want my love, no, no
 You wanna sati-satisfaction
 Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, ow!
 You don't need my love
 You got to find yourself another
 Another piece, another piece of the Action,
 Yeah, ow yeah, look out

 Because you don't want my love, no, no
 You wanna sati-satisfaction
 Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
 You don't need my love
 You got to find yourself another
 Another piece, another piece
 Of the action
 
 You're crazy, hey, hey

 And she said,
 'You don't need my love,
 You wanna sati-satisfaction,' Bitch
 You don't need my love,
 You've got to find yourself another
 Another piece, another piece
 Of the action

 @SONG: One in a Million (6:08)
 
 1,2,1,2,3,4
 (Whistle)
 Guess I needed sometime to get away
 I needed some piece of mind
 Some piece of mind that'll stay
 So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.
 Maybe a Greyhound could be my way
 
 Police and Niggers, that's right
 Get out of my way
 Don't need to buy none of your
 Gold chains today
 I don't need no bracelets
 Clamped in front of my back
 Just need my ticket; 'til then
 Won't you cut me some slack?
 
 You're one in a million
 Yeah, that's what you are
 You're one in a million, babe
 You're a shooting star
 Maybe someday we'll see you
 Before you make us cry
 You know we tried to reach you
 But you were much too high
 Much too high, much too high,
 Much too high, yes, ow!
 
 Immigrants and faggots
 They make no sense to me
 They come to our country
 And think they'll do as they please
 Like start some mini Iran,
 Or spread some fuckin' disease
 They talk so many goddamn ways
 It's all Greek to me
 
 Well some say I'm lazy
 And others say that's just me
 Some say I'm crazy
 I guess I'll always be
 But it's been such a long time
 Since I knew right from wrong
 It's all the means to an end, I
 I keep it movin' along
 
 You're one in a million
 Oo, you're a shooting star
 You're one in a million, babe
 You know that you are
 Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo
 Oh, Before you make us cry
 You know we tried to reach you
 But you were much too high
 Much too high, Oo, much too high
 Yeah,
 Much too high, huh, no, no, oh
 Ow!
 
 Radicals and Racists
 Don't point your finger at me
 I'm a small town white boy
 Just tryin' to make ends meet
 Don't need your religion
 Don't watch that much T.V.
 Just makin' my livin', baby
 Well that's enough for me
 
 You're one in a million
 Yeah that's what you are
 You're one in a million, babe
 You're a shooting star
 Maybe someday we'll see you
 Before you make us cry
 You know we tried to reach you
 But you were much too high
 Much too high, ow, much too high,
 Much too high, much too high
 Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh!
 Ow! Much too high
 (Oh, much too high, ah,
 Much too high, ah, much too high
 Much too high, ow, much too high)*
