The Lunatic Parade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look at all the freaks
Lined up head to head, they wait for our arrival
Some are there for the show
And some are there to watch and some to preach the bible
Hats off to the faithful that come to waltz with us
They're doing what they wanna
Come on to the next show, parade along with us
You won't be forgotten
You won't be forgotten
[Verse 2]
Listen to the freak show
Shouting to our songs, they sound like charging rhino
A place to meet an old fiend
A place to meet some new, you can always follow
Wanna meet the clowns when the circus comes to town?
Gather all around
We'll remember all of you
Unless our crew dismembers you
[Chorus]
Come in from Hell or wherever you came
Slums of the world are to us all the same
Step up and join us now and don't be afraid
Our party's starting to become a charade
Lunatics everywhere will all act the same
And when the sideshow starts, there's no one to blame
There's no one left, the town is having a raid
They all have joined us in our lunatic parade
[Refrain]
Lunatic, lunatic
Lunatic parade
Lunatic, lunatic
A lunatic parade
Lunatic, lunatic
Lunatic parade
Lunatic, lunatic
Lunatic parade
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You wanna meet the clowns when the circus comes to town?
Gather all around
Come on to the next show, parade along with us
You won't be forgotten
[Chorus]
Come in from Hell or wherever you came
Slums of the world are to us all the same
Step up and join us now and don't be afraid
This party's starting to become a charade
Lunatics everywhere will all act the same
And when the sideshow starts, there's no one to blame
There's no one left, the town is having a raid
They all have joined us in our lunatic parade
[Outro]
Lunatic parade
Lunatic parade
Lunatic parade
The lunatic parade
Within the Walls of Chaos Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Murder, drugs, cash, and greed
That touches everyone and everything within the walls
There's no escaping the disease
Sidewalks turn to pharmacies, all the pimps and pushers territories
Dollars pouring in from the victims trapped within
Schoolyard's a place of sorrow, pray your children live to see tomorrow
A place where mothers cry and kiss their dying sons goodbye
Living in a state of fear, afraid of everything they see or hear
Someone they love may get shot for drugs they never even bought
[Verse 2]
Violence is a way of life, revenge delivered with a gun or knife
Paybacks are a bitch, they'll leave you dyin' in a ditch
Caught in the hypnotic spell, their life's story they'll never life to tell
In a hazy curtain, they can't see, the end is certain
Imprisoned by narcotic chains
Life for some will never be the same
Trapped in walls of glass, hoping that this all will pass
But some will find their way outside
Face the evil, eyes open wide
Break the bonds that pull you in, escape the Hell that thrives
[Bridge]
Within the walls of chaos and despair
Most are unemployed, living on welfare
Prowling the halls, the vultures come to feed
On the flesh of those who are enslaved to the need
The final curtain falls but no one sheds a tear
Their pleas for help always seem to fall upon deaf ears
Within the walls of chaos they forgot
That dignity and sanity are things that can't be bought
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
With every passing day another life is cast astray
Wear the wrong colors and you might get blown away
Turn of a page, another name's crossed off the list
Shot between the eyes with a rig clenched in his fist
Driven to the grave, ruled by need for kicks
Extract their own gold teeth to satisfy their fix, hahahahah
There's cracks in the foundation, the time will soon arrive
When the walls will crumble down and bury everyone alive
[Outro]
Within the walls, within the walls of chaos
Within the walls, within the walls of chaos
Within the walls, within the walls of chaos
[Guitar Solo]
Objection Overruled Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All rise and come to order
Bailiff start the video recorder
You've been sworn, what's your complaint?
Speak up son, don't hesitate
Presided in his courtroom so long ago
He was hanging cowboys for stealing buffalo
Court is adjourned for his honor's feeling ill
The shaking old relic needs a glycerin pill
[Pre-Chorus]
Hang up your robe 'cause you're looking tired
If it was up to me you'd all be fired
Day after day convicting all those liars
This ain't TV jail, it's TV Hell
[Chorus 1]
Believe it or not
Those walking blood clots make enough money for a thousand foot yacht
Who in Hollywood did they ever acquit?
Just senile, judicial idiots
As the drama unfolds and the law he upholds
If you look real close you could see him growing mold
Small claims messiah is only a pariah to be ridiculed
Objection overruled
[Verse 2]
All rise as he takes the bench
To hear his old voice makes my gut wrench
Silence to those who are in his court
I'm found guilty by his report
No washed up judge can say to me
The shit he throws around when he's on TV
What can they fucking do, throw me in jail?
I'd slap out his dentures, post them for bail
[Pre-Chorus]
Hang up your robe 'cause you're looking tired
If it was up to me you'd all be fired
Day after day convicting all those liars
This ain't TV jail, it's TV hell
[Chorus 2]
You lose the case to a bigger bullshitter than you today
When it comes to the end, you tell all of TV land what you've got to say
When he's dead and gone will they get another fossil to carry on?
They must go to school, handpick these old fools
I say to you, objection overruled
[Bridge]
It's all Perry Mason's fault
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
"[?] call the hospital oh shit!"
"[?] while I played rhythm through the whole thing, non stop."
"Yeah you did."
Changing of the Guard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Romanian dictator, emperor for life
Lived a life of luxury shared only by his wife
Growing fat like pigs, eating meals fit for a king
Accumulating assets like none you've ever seen
Then the table's turned, they were stripped of all they owned
The revolution's cast the dictator from the throne
With their execution, so ends the tyranny
The bullets from a rifle set the people free
[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting for their rights, they toppled the regime
Pillaged all their riches, left them not a thing
Now they know the feeling to reap the seeds they've sewn
Banished from the living when they were overthrown
How did they feed the enormous greed it took to satisfy their needs?
They drained the country dry
As thousands had to die but now the monarchy is nullified
[Chorus]
The changing of the guards, they no longer deal the cards
And the world demands democracy
It's the dawning of a time when the system's redefined
Oppression's now a distant memory
Communism yields to the might the people wield
For a democratic form of government
For their blatant disregard, they have suffered long and hard
It's time for a changing of the guard
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
No longer will they rule the land by genocide
The traces of their empire have all been liquefied
Political reform has gotten underway
Now they're free to speak, before they'd only pray
Freedom is contagious, it's spreading far and wide
The Berlin Wall has fallen, there's no need to divide
They walk across a border where many tried and failed
Others died but not in vain, people have prevailed
[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting for their rights, they toppled the regime
Pillaged all their riches, left them not a thing
Now they know the feeling to reap the seeds they've sewn
Banished from the living when they were overthrown
How did they feed the enormous greed it took to satisfy their needs?
They drained the country dry
As thousands had to die but now the monarchy is nullified
[Chorus]
The changing of the guards, they no longer deal the cards
And the world demands democracy
It's the dawning of a time when the system's redefined
Oppression's now a distant memory
Communism yields to the might the people wield
For a democratic form of government
For their blatant disregard, they have suffered long and hard
It's time for a changing of the guard
[Guitar Solo]
