Live at the Astoria

Black sheep of the family, nothing like the rest
Separate from the others, failing all their tests
Can't they see you're different, so hungry and so lean
You're a walking wonder, you're a metal machine
Look and you'll see you're a lot like me

CHORUS:

You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.M.F.
You're an S.-M.-F.

Caught up in their worries and tomorrow's dream
Missing all the living, milk without the cream
They think you're so foolish, living for today
Caring just what you think, not what others say
Join with us, oh, how they'll scream and fuss

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Jay Jay

We're the ones that live it, we're all really free
And if they think that we're sick then sick is what we'll be
Scream it loud, Know what you are, be proud

REPEAT CHORUS

You thought it was gone but the fire goes on and I thought you knew me
I told you before 'til I settle the score that I'll never run free
I have enough pain and anger in my brain to last many lifetimes
Yet still it grows and the more that it shows I won't have peace of mind

CHORUS:

The fire, the fire still burns
The fire, the fire still burns

I have a dream and as strange as it seems, there's no embers glowing
The fire's gone out and there's no need to shout 'cause no anger's showing
But it's not true, nothing I ever do seems to ease my fury
Get out of my way, I'm the hangman today and the judge and jury

REPEAT CHORUS (twice)

Solo - Eddie

Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns

Solo - Jay Jay

REPEAT CHORUS (three times)

Who are you to look down at what I believe?
I'm on to your thinking and how you deceive
Well, you can't abuse me, I won't stand no more
Yes, I know the reasons, yes, I know the score

CHORUS:

I am and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am and I'll be
I am: I'm me

How I tried to please you, live the way you said
Do the things that you do, like the living dead
Then the truth it hit me, got me off my knees
It's my life I'm living, i'll live as I please

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Eddie

Now's the time to stand tall, start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart, now's the time for you

REPEAT CHORUS

I am: I'm me
I am: I'm me (can't you see)
I am: I'm me (can't you see, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, me, me, me, me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me, can't you see)
I am: I'm me (can't you see, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me, everything)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I'm me, look at me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)
I am: I'm me (I am: I'm me)

Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there's no work or play, only one bill to pay
There's just five words to say as you go down, down, down
You're gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell

You can't believe all the things I've done wrong in my life
Without even trying I've lived on the edge of a knife
Well, I've played with fire, but I don't want to get myself burned
To thine own self be true, so I think that it's time for a turn
Before I burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell

Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see
It's black and it's dark, now is that how you want it to be?
It's up to you, what you do will decide your own fate
Make your choice now for tomorrow may be far too late
And then you'll burn in hell

[Chorus]
Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free

Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you
Lay no evil down on me (you're gonna burn in hell)
Speak no evil, don't you
Think no evil, don't you
Play with evil, 'cause I'm free (you're gonna burn in hell) (2x)

[Chorus]

You're gonna burn in hell

Hear no evil, don't you
See no evil, don't you (oh, burn in hell)
Lay no evil down on me

Good evening!
Welcome to our show
If you've got that problem
Well I think that you should know
This ain't the same old story
Or the same old song and dance
Don't speak of the faded glory
Or you won't get a second chance
I want to tell you something
I'm someone you can trust
You better take a good hard look
Cause there's a diamond in this dust
Hit it!
We're no overnight sensation
No Cinderella fantasy
Please no plaudits or ovations
I've heard it all before you see

What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you can't see makes you scream
What you don't know sure can hurt you
What you don't have is what you dream

Ain't we a pretty picture?
Ain't we a load of fun?
Don't let me influence you
I'll do that when we're done
Oh, are we irritating?
Oh, are we grating on your nerves?
Don't you know that the good boys
Never get what they deserve

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Your brain is filled with questions
You don't know how or why
Don't look to me for answers, honey
Cause I don't want to lie

How'd you like it so far
Say ain't we quite a show?
There's no one else quite like us
The others all get up and go
Don't fill my head with stories
You see I ain't no debutante
Let's get to the nitty gritty
Now you give me what I want

(REPEAT CHORUS)

A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find

You can't escape
From the bed you've made
When your time has come
You'll accept the blade

You're cornered in the alley way
You know you're all alone
You know it's gonna end this way
The chill goes to the bone

Now here it comes that glistening light
It goes into your side
Blackness comes, tonight's the night
Blade is gonna ride
'Cause you're under the blade, ohh
You're under the blade

It's not another party head
This time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped
A light shines in your eyes

You faintly see a razor's edge
You open your mouth to cry
You know you can't, it's over now
The blade is gonna ride
'Cause you're under the blade, ohh
You're under the blade

A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
There's nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find

You can't escape
From the bed you've made
When your time has come
You'll accept the blade

You've tried to make it to the front
You're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now
It's mouth is open wide

The lights go on, the night explodes
It tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again
The blade is gonna ride
'Cause you're under the blade, ohh
You're under the blade

Here it comes, baby, aow, whoa
Oh, you're under it
You're goin' down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Hey, hey
