AEROSMITH - GET A GRIP (1992)
Wake up kid, it's half past what you think, nothing really changes but the date
You're a grand slammer, but you know Babe Ruth, you gotta learn how to relate
I heard you swinging from the pernegrate
I got all answers, lower the holes, I got the right key, baby, but the wrong key hole, yo
Well I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed
And how I got to thinkin' about all the things you said
About ordinary people and how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you then I hope this does the trick
'Cause I'm sick of your complainin' about how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin' about your poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humour about your way of life
And I think I can do more for you with this here fork and knife
Eat The Rich, there's only one thing that they are good for
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - come back for more
Eat The Rich, I gotta get this off my chest
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - spit out the rest
So I called up my head shrinker and I told him what I'd done
He said you best go on a diet, yeah, I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst the bubble on rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food
Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds and then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' in the yacht club with Muff and uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens when you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shit but go real good with wine
Eat The Rich, there's only one thing that they are good for
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - come back for more
Eat The Rich, I gotta get this off my chest
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - spit out the rest
Believe in all the good things that money just can't buy
Then you won't get no bellyache from eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches, your inheritance won't last
So take your Gray Poupon my friend and shove it up your ass
Eat The Rich, there's only one thing that they are good for
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - come back for more
Eat The Rich, I gotta get this off my chest
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - spit out the rest
Eat The Rich, there's only one thing that they are good for
Eat The Rich, take one bite now - come back for more
Eat The Rich, don't stop me now, I'm goin' crazy
Eat The Rich, that's my idea of a good time baby
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip - rip
Once upon a crime I thought I was cool but I don't want to brag
Once I crossed the line I think I musta zigged when I shoulda zagged
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Same old, same old every day if things don't change you're just gonna rot
'Cause if you do what you've always done, you've always get what you've always got
Uuh, could that be nothing
Got to get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
Who knows for sure without a doubt
What goes on when the lights go out
Or who pulls in when I pull out
And what is a one-eyed trouser trout
I was so shortsighted, now the wrong been righted
I feel so delighted, I get so excited
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
If you think I'm vain, better shut ya lip
I can't explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
You wanna get high in a New York minute
Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip
Your head gets dead as long as you're in it
You wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
Skin and bones, it ain't such a pity
Don't ya gimme no flack, honey shut ya lip
Ya gotta have stones if you're livin' in the city
If ya wanna hang loose, gotta get a grip
I got a rip in my shoes and a hole in my brand new shoes
I got a Margarita nose and a breath full of Mad Dog Booze
I got the fever, fever, fever, fever
Yeah, they threw me outta jail I tell ya it ain't fair
I tried to kiss the judge from the electrica' chair
Yeah we're all here , 'cause we're not all there tonight
The guitar's cranked and the bass man's blown a fuse
And when the whole gang bangs tell me then what is your excuse?
I got the fever, fever, fever, fever
Fever gives you lust with an appetite
It hits you like the fangs from a rattlesnake bite
Yeah we're all here, 'cause we're not all there tonight
We can't run away from trouble
There ain't no place that far
But if we do it right at the speed of light
There's the backseat of my car - caviar
I was feelin' so high I forgot what day
Now I'm feeling low down, even slow feels way to fast
And now the booze don't work 'cause the drugs ran out of gas
I got the fever, fever, fever, fever
The buzz that you're gettin' from the crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the crack of her ass
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight
My first time ever lover
We fell asleep out on the lawn
And when I woke up I was all alone
Making love to the crack of dawn
So yo, I beg yo pardon sir
The gangster of love rides again
You now I gotta chill Fever
It gimme such a thrill Fever
Like a burnin' plague Fever
Yeah get outta my way Fever
Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear
As long as I'm in heaven, honey I don't care
You look so good baby, look so fine
I tell you you're the image of a perfect crime
You get so tired holdin' on so tight
If you think you're goin' crazy
Well you may be right
Yeah we're all here 'cause we're not all there tonight
There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seeing things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise
Ya!
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
There's someting wrong with the world today
The lightbulb's gettin' dimmed
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister, you're a better man than I
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication - aggravation is getting to you
Yeah, If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawling back again
I bet you would my friend again and again and again and again and again
Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication - aggravation is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawling back again
I bet you would my friend again and again and again and again and again
Something right with the world today and everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell them no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
We're livin' on the edge
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
You can't help yourself at all
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
You can't help yourself
Livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Livin' on the edge
The day rolls in, the night rolls out
Desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast, you salivate
And when you come, it won't be late
I guess by now, you got the score
A little taste you want it more
From San Antone to Marrakesh
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody's gotta have flesh
You got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing that's worth the sweat
From the day that Eve did Adam down to Romeo and Juliet
Everybody gotta have
The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, this story's told
From modern times to days of old
From Boston, Mass to Bangladesh
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody's gotta have
Flesh - it's got me all soaking wet
Flesh - the only thing that's worth the sweat, yeah
From the Mississippi River
To the highest mountain in Tibet
Everybody gotta have
Flesh - you got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing that's worth the sweat
Flesh - you got me all soakin' wet
Flesh - the only thing, the only thing, the only thing
From a Sufi in a Rickshaw to a bimbo in a pink Corvette
Everybody gotta have
You wonder why you got holes in your shoes
You wonder why they got more money than you
You wonder why you got nothin' to lose
It makes no sense, don't try to figure it out
You gotta walk on down
Walk on down, walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Yeah, huh
Well, she says that she loves you
In your mind there's no doubt
You feel like a stranger
When the lights go out
As you lie there awake you think
'This ain't no gift'
Don't try to figure that weight's to heavy to lift
You gotta walk on down
Walk on down, walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down, walk on down
'Cause I got no time to lose
It's my life if I choose
Put on my walking shoes
Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
Love has got me down
A tear just hit the ground
So I started writing you this song
But the words I wrote came out all wrong
Yeah, but it's all right
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
When you can't define the crime
Then life ain't worth a dime
When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
When you work your fingers to the bone
Now what does that get you - nothing
In a crowd of people you're still alone
And you hope that tells you - something
The road to Heaven is paved in Hell
And it makes you wonder why we're here at all
Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress and she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can't do jack so shut up and dance
Sex is like a gun - you aim, you shoot, you run
When you're splittin' heads with Mr Clean
It's like gettin' head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
There was a time when I was so brokehearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned - yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kinda love was the killin' kind
Listen, all I want is someone I can't resist
I know - all I - need to know by the way I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you, now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you, now I'm tryin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me
Now there's not even breathing room between pleasure and pain
Yeah, you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah, I got to tell you something
It's been on my mind, girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you do to me takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames that's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you, now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you, now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me
'Cause what you got inside ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love 'til you give your heart away
I was cryin' when I met you, now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you, now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me, what you do down on me
Baby, baby, baby
I was cryin' when I met you, now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you, now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you, now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
Psychedelic Sandwich
Any way you can feel it
You shouldn't try to conceal it, baby
You got to make up your mind
Any way I can steal it
Any way you can deal it to me
You know the pleasure's all mine
You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gutta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' round n' round n' round...
That's right
I wanna say you're a firecracker
I wanna say you're a switchblade knife
You make your sex a career
Comin' down from an all night tripper
Pull your foot from the ruby slipper
'Cause you can't get it from here
You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gutta shu uh shove it
I'm gonna make things happen
Goin' round n' round n' round...
I got this feeling deep inside my love
Overwhelming feeling but I know not what
One thing's for sure I ain't got time for those who can't relate
You gotta learn to love the midnight madness
You gotta revel in the good and badness
If yin n' yang is your thing
What I gotta do to try and reach ya
Is it for real or just a double feature
So let's go throw the I Ching
You gotta love it
You better own it
You gotta love it
And God knows it
You gutta shu uh shove it
You gotta make things happen
Goin' round n' round n' round...
Gotta love it
Gotta love it
Gotta love it
Gotta love it
Come 'ere baby
You know you drive me up the wall
The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love
And it always seems you've got something on your mind other than me
Girl, you gotta change your crazy ways - you hear me
Say you're leavin' on the seven thirty train and that you're heading out to Hollywood
Girl, you've been givin' me that line so many times it kinda gets that feelin' bad looks good
That kinda lovin' turns a man to a slave
That kinda lovin' sends a man right to his grave
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on - then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
What can I do, honey, I feel like the color blue
You're packin' up your stuff and tryin' to tell me that it's time to go
But I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that overcoat and that it's all a show
That kinda lovin' makes me wanna pull down the shade, yeah
That kinda lovin' yeah, now I'm never, never, never gonna be the same
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on - then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
What can I do, honey, I feel like the color blue
I'm losing my mind girl, 'cause I'm goin' crazy
I need your love, honey, yeah
I need your love
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
I'm losing my mind, girl
'Cause I'm goin' crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me on
If you think that you're strong
Wanna fight well come on and line up
When the goin' gets tough
And your talk ain't enough then come on and line up
We gotta get up, get out before they get us down
'Cause livin' up against the wall, yeah, has got us locked up
Come on and line up
So don't be surprised when they pull the wool over your eyes
Yeah, don't get funked up
If you got all the stuff and you can't get enough then line up, line up
If you're out on a limb and you wanna come in then line up, line up
Your head's down, sittin' 'round, pick yo face up off the ground
And get yourself together baby and learn to stand tough
Come on an line up, line up
We better get to it instead of just standin' around
It's time to get down
If you're playin' to win then your only way in is line up, line up
If we all wanna live then we all gotta give
Line up
We gotta get up, get out before they get us down
'Cause livin' up against the wall, yeah, has got us locked up
Come on and line up, line up
You better get to it instead of just standin' around
Yeah, it's time to get down
If you got all the stuff and you can't get enough then line up, line up
If you think that you're strong
Wanna fight well come on
And line up, line up
Sitting at a stop sign lookin' for a friend of mine
Waiting to salute the flag
Talkin' to some he/she, slidin' over next to me
Man, she said, this lide is a drag
It's a shaky situation, I'm hangin' on my will
And I get no satisfaction from a hundred dollar bill
But I got what I came from
And I'll do it 'til I drop
You do what you want to do, I ain't never gonna stop
You say you got something that makes you feel good
And you can't stop messin' with it
All your life you've been so misunderstood
'Cause you can't stop messin' with it
Sittin' by the seashore, dreamin' 'bout a little more
Circlin' the classifieds, 976
Man I need another fix, I'll never have to kiss the bride
Yeah, the city is a war zone, this country gone to hell
And the beer cans in the alley from the rich folks on the hill
They're screaming halleelujah but I don't give a damn
'Cause I got my own religion, yeah, it's right here in my hand
You say you got something that makes you feel good
And you can't stop messin' with it
All your life you've been so misunderstood
'Cause you can't stop messin' with it
You say you got something that makes you feel good
And you can't stop messin' with it
All your life you've been so misunderstood
Now you can't stop messin' with it
You say you got something that makes you feel good
And you can't stop messin' with it
All your life you've been so misunderstood
Now you can't stop messin' with it
I kept the right ones out and let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life when I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through the pain
And when I lost my grip and I hit the floor
Yeah, I tought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired of livin' a lie
I was wishing that I would die
It's amazing with the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's amazing that when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Yeah, It's amazing and I'm saying a prayer to the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's a permanent vacation
And a how high can you fly with broken wings
Life's a journey - not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street, just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
It's amazing with the blink of an eye you finally see the light
Oh, it's amazing that when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Oh, it's amazing and I'm saying a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
Desperate hearts, desperate hearts
To all of you people out there wherever you are
Remember the light at the end of the tunnel may be you - goodnight
