1. WE CARE A LOT


We care a lot
We care a lot
We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
about Los Angeles falling in the sea
about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
about disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock
Yeah!

We care a lot
We care a lot
We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
about the people who live off the street
about the welfare of all the boys and girls
about you people cause weīre out to save the world
Yeah!

And itīs a dirty job but someoneīs got to do it!

We care a lot about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
about the NY, SF, and LAPD
about you people, about your guns
about the wars youīre fighting
gee, that looks like fun

We care a lot about the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
about the little things, the bigger things we top
about you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot

And itīs a dirty job but someoneīs gotta do it....



2. THE JUNGLE


Well, just follow your heart
Man oh man
Try and see, if you can
Ha Ha
Jungle sounds great
Lots of scary noise
Donīt deter us from our journey onward

Hey man, let your spirit go
To the full extent of the meaning

He said, "And follow me to the deepest part of the jungle.
Where it is always dark and wet and warm
To the sacred part."

Well, just follow your heart
Man oh man
Try and see, if you can
Ha Ha
Jungle sounds great
Lots of scary noises
Donīt deter us from our journey onward

We pushed and followed
Only our deepest, hidden senses, senses
And exposed to the elements
That lie within



3. MARK BOWEN


Love...itīs a beginning
A justifiable means to an end
And happiness, that triumphant feeling
Only comes from within
But ...youīll...never make the grade
No youīll never, ever reach that plateau
Youīre down below
And itīs where your soul will forever glow
But itīs not that ray of sunshine that feels so warm
Itīs just that bottomless inferno

Youīre in the depths of hell
And I think thatīs swell
And I hope you get well

Well done, fried in and out
Burned to a crisp, if thatīs what I wish
I didnīt write the rules
I just follow them to a tee
Cause thatīs me, Iīm evil
Iīm hateful, Iīm sinful, forgetful, mistrustful
Iīm diseased and contagious
Iīm suicide, homicide, genocide, pesticide

Iīm a human bomb
Iīll kill anyone
And so are you, So donīt be coy
Cause you too can destroy me like a toy
Not like Mark Bowen
He never done nothinī to no one
... That didnīt deserve it.

5. WHY DO YOU BOTHER


Why hold on?
Your hands are getting sore
You must be scared of something
From the time before, well...
Weīre here again
How long, who knows?
Itīs not your right to tell me
Where this trip will go
Pull away
Youīre dying today
You could enjoy it
If you could take your feelings with you
But put your mind on me
And suck my energy
And see the speed gets higher
I see you hold on tighter....

But just fatigue
Is all your face will show
Itīs weary from the stress
Getting delirious
"I didnīt want this race
We can"t keep up this pace"
We donīt want to get well
We want to go to hell
We want an urban dream
The fucking urban scream
"This time was mine to borrow
Iīll pay for it tomorrow"
Youīll pay for it today
And as we drive away
Iīll make my pleasure greater
Push the accelerator

(and down we go)



6. GREED


Over the hills they came from the valley
Making innuendoes about my lack of talent, oh well...
They say that when Iīm supposed to be singing
All I īm really doing is yelling, oh well...
To you I say ....

Break out or get out
Then they say that I canīt sing
That I donīt say a thing
That I make everything up...oh well
To you I say...

Break out or get out
Break out or get out

Get out of your mind
Cause itīs much too small
And thereīs so much going on



7. PILLS FOR BREAKFAST


-no Lyrics-



8. AS THE WORM TURNS


One day youīre thinking that maybe youīre feeling better
And youīre probably an OK person, if only you had a job...
Through the hollow tombs can see them
Through their mouths I can hear them praying for pain
But itīs only a game

Listen, man, I know
That things are really rough
And everybody gets you
And life is really tough
But I know that deep down inside
Thereīs a feeling that rides
All the way to the end

Thursday you sit in your room with the lights turned out
And you donīt answer the door
Friday morning looks sunny and bright
Like itīs going to be a good day
And it would be if only you had a job

Time is on your side, youīre young
Donīt waste your time today



9. ARABIAN DISCO


Has it been so long?
Do you think we know?
Do you think we care?
Die...for the here and now
Do you remember why?
Do you remember how?

Face .... out
Stick your chest .... out
Stomach .... in
Thats right

Do you really know
Where the harems go
In the desert snow? Hail,
An oasis dream doesnīt really seem
To mean a thing when youīre out .... cold

So, hands .... up
Put your guards .... up
Feet .... down
Up .... down
Forward .... march
Left .... right
Cold .... cold
I feel cold



10. NEW BEGINNINGS


A glow in her eye
As he waved goodbye
Thatīs where it all began
She was a loving girl
He was a caring guy
Together they had plans
They were married and had a baby
His name was Johnnie

Wait a minute, thatīs me
Why am I only three years old again
Spinning and spinning and spinning

There was no gleam in your eye
When you passed us by
In the parade this time
You had nothing to say
And youīre always on your way somewhere
But today you just stood still
You were a quiet kind of person
Who asked for nothing and got just that
So they sent you away to kill for your country

Could you blame him?
Could you blame them?
No. And in the end
When we meet again weīre friends
Will we ever learn that we are always Godīs children
And gods never made moral decisions
They made love
