Mama's Boy Lyrics
[Intro: Dee Dee Ramone]
1, 2, 3, 4
[Verse 1: Joey Ramone]
Couldn't keep a secret, got a concrete skull
You couldn't shut up, you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog, there's nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up, you had a bad, bad brain
[Verse 2: Joey]
Couldn't hold your tongue, you were just too young
Like a two-year-old, you told, you told
You were all the same, jellybean brain
Everyone's a secret nerd, everyone's a closet lame
[Chorus: Joey]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
[Bridge: Dee Dee & Joey]
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
[Verse 3: Joey]
I don't want to work in a hot dog stand
Be a busboy, messenger, or a doorman
It's an abstract world, you're an abstract man
Abstract city don't give a damn
[Verse 1: Joey]
Couldn't keep a secret, got a concrete skull
You couldn't shut up, you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog, there's nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up, you had a bad, bad brain
[Chorus: Joey]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
I'm Not Afraid of Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am not afraid of life
Of the poor man's struggle
Of the killer's knife
I am not afraid of life
Of an insane rage
Of the minimum wage
I am not afraid of life
[Chorus]
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
[Post-Chorus]
But I see an old lady with a shopping bag
And I wonder, is life a drag?
[Verse 2]
I am not afraid of pain
But it hurts so bad
I feel so mad
No one sees the truth
There's nothing to gain
A life goes down the drain
I don't want to die at an early age
[Chorus]
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
[Post-Chorus]
But I see a street crazy shivering with cold
Is it a crime to be old?
[Bridge]
Alright!
[Verse 3]
There's the threat of the nuclear bomb
We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace
Will the fighting ever cease
Mankind's almost out of luck
A maniac could blow us up
[Chorus]
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
[Post-Chorus]
But I get on my knees, and I pray
Is there hope for the world today?
Too Tough to Die Lyrics
[Intro]
1, 2, 3, 4
[Chorus]
I am a tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
I tell no tales, I do no lie
I am a tou-tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
Halo ‘round my head too tough to die
[Verse 1]
Main attraction in a freak side show
Down in the basement where the cobwebs grow
On my last leg just getting by
Halo round my head too tough to die
[Verse 2]
Rainy days, rain cool wine
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
Hot sweat on my face
I feel like going out someplace
[Refrain]
Too tough to die
Too tough to die
Too tough to die
Too tough to die
[Chorus]
I am a tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
I tell no tales, I do not lie
I am a tou-tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
Halo ‘round my head too tough to die
I am a tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
I tell no tales, I do not lie
I am a tou-tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
Halo ‘round my head too tough to die
[Verse 3]
Up late light my chocolate sweet
Down at the gym where the muscle boys meet
I'm a very nice guy very sincere
In real good shape I have no fear
[Verse 4]
At the concert when the band comes on
I'm in the ring where I belong
On my last leg I'm-a just gettin' by
Halo round my head too tough to die
[Refrain]
Too tough to die
Too tough to die
Too tough to die
Too tough to die
[Chorus]
I am a tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
I tell no tales, I do not lie
I am a tou-tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
Halo ‘round my head too tough to die
I am a tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
I tell no tales, I do not lie
I am a tou-tou-tou-tou tough, tough guy
Halo ‘round my head too tough to die
Wart Hog Lyrics
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
[Verse 1]
I take some dope, I feel so sick
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
Drugs and bitches and junkies and fags
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
Death, death, death it's the price I'll pay
It's a sick world, what can I say?
No such thing as an even break
It's steal and cheat, take, take, take, take
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
[Verse 2]
I wanna puke, I can't sit still
Just took some drugs and I feel ill
It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it
It's a joke, it's a lie, it's a rip-off bet
It's an outlaw life, we're a renegade band
Doomsday visions of commies and queers
Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
[Chorus]
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Wart, wart hog
Danger Zone Lyrics
[Intro]
Which song are we doing?
Danger Zone
Already?
1, 2, 3, 4!
[Verse 1]
New York city is a real cool town
Society really brings me down
Our playground is a pharmacy
Kids find trouble so easily
Other countries are just as bad
The Soviets really make me mad
On the boulevard where police hide
Let's steal a car for a joyride
[Chorus]
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
[Verse 2]
They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid, you flipped your lid
You love wine like they love cash
Feel your rage spread like a rash
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You flipped your lid, you flipped your lid
You flipped your lid, you flipped your lid
They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid, you flipped your lid
[Chorus]
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
All alone in the danger zone
Chasing the Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing here in front of the mirror
It's going to be all right tonight
Feeling hot, yeah I'm on fire
I'm never ever going to tire
[Chorus]
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
[Verse 2]
Live my life as I choose
I paid the price, paid my dues
You know I need no alibi
Daytime troubles fading
Nights intoxicating
Going to have it all tonight
That is no lie
[Chorus]
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
[Bridge]
Rock all night, sleep all day
It don't matter what they say
I'm never going to change my ways
I won't be back until Monday
[Verse 3]
Feeling exasperating, excitement generating
I'm never ever going to tire
City is overloading, the circuits are exploding
I'm not coming down, no I'm too wired
[Chorus]
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Tonight, it's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Chasing the night
Chasing, chasing the night
It's gonna be alright
Howling at the Moon (Sha-La-La) Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
Ships are docking
Planes are landing
A never ending supply
No more narco
No more gangster
Conservatives can cry
[Pre-Chorus]
I took the law and threw it away
Because there's nothing wrong
It's just for play
[Chorus 2]
There's no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor
[Chorus 1]
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
It was glowing, glowing, glowing
Glowing in the dark
It was sparkling, sparkling, sparkling
Sparkling in the night
[Pre-Chorus]
I took the law and threw it away
Because there's nothing wrong
It's just for play
[Chorus 2]
There's no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor
[Verse 3]
Winter turns to summer
Sadness turns to fun
Keep the faith, baby
You broke the rules and won
[Chorus 1]
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 4]
Keep it glowing, glowing, glowing
I'm not hurting anyone
Keep it glowing, smoking, glowing
I'm howling at the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
I took the law and threw it away
Because there's nothing wrong
It's just for play
[Chorus 2]
There's no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor
[Bridge]
Oh baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
[Pre-Chorus]
I took the law and threw it away
Because there's nothing wrong
It's just for play
I'm smoking
Baby
I'm smoking
Oh baby
[Chorus 2]
There's no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor
[Chorus 1]
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Daytime Dilemma (Dangers of Love) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She came from a happy home
A very happy home
A very happy home
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all worked out
[Refrain 1]
But things aren't what they seem
Is this real or just a dream?
And things will never ever be the same again
[Verse 2]
She came from a happy home
A very happy home
A home of happiness
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all in place
[Refrain 1]
But things aren't what they seem
Is this real or just a dream?
And things will never ever be the same again
[Chorus]
The dangers
It's the dangers of love
Yeah, yeah
The dangers
It's the dangers
[Verse 3]
She came from a happy home
A very happy home
A very happy scene
She caught him with another
It turns out it was her mother
What a tragedy
[Refrain 2]
Can things be what they seem?
Is this just some crazy dream?
Things may never ever be the same again
[Chorus]
The dangers
It's the dangers of love
Yeah, yeah
The dangers
It's the dangers
[Bridge 1]
Keep telling lies, but you did
You know you did
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming
[Chorus]
The dangers
It's the dangers of love
Yeah, yeah
The dangers
It's the dangers
[Bridge 2]
What went wrong, she couldn't tell
But we know it all too well
[Chorus]
The dangers
It's the dangers of love
Yeah, yeah
The dangers
It's the dangers
The dangers
It's the dangers of love
Yeah, yeah
The dangers

Planet Earth 1988 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The solution to peace isn't clear
The terrorist threat is a modern fear
There are no jobs for the young
They turn to crime and turn to drugs
Battle ships crowd the sea
16 year olds in the army
Our jails are filled to the max
Discrimination against the blacks
[Chorus]
Planet Earth 1988
Planet Earth 1988
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late!
[Verse 2]
Russian and American war machine
Will destroy mankind's dream
They shoot their missiles in the air
They do not care, they do not care
Guerrilla armies rule the street
No more Christmas or trick or treat
Is this what the future will bring?
I pray for peace more than anything
[Chorus]
Planet Earth 1988
Planet Earth 1988
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late!
[Verse 3]
The solution to peace isn't clear
The terrorists threat is a modern fear
There is no future for the youth
There is no hope for the young
Death destruction bombs galore
The rich are laughing at the poor
Our jails are filled to the max
Discrimination against the blacks
[Chorus]
Planet Earth 1988
Planet Earth 1988
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late!
Human Kind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best
Humankind, I don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see?
[Chorus]
People always telling lies, they can keep their alibis
People knocking at my door, how come they want more and more?
People talking behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People staring at your clothes, I can't take it anymore, no more!
[Verse 2]
Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their names
Humankind, are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, I don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see?
[Chorus]
People always telling lies, they can keep their alibis
People knocking at my door, how come they want more and more?
People talking behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People staring at your clothes, I can't take it anymore, no more!
[Verse 3]
Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humankind just got along?
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is what we need
[Chorus]
People always telling lies, they can keep their alibis
People knocking at my door, how come they want more and more?
People talking behind your back, most of them drive a Cadillac
People staring at your clothes, I can't take it anymore, no more!
[Outro]
People! Yeah!
People!
People! Yeah!
People!
Endless Vacation Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Chorus]
Endless vacation
Endless vacation
Endless vacation
Endless vacation
[Verse 1]
I kill myself I kill the pain
A suicide death a suicide game
My skull is bleaching in the dust
My rage turns to insane lust
All depressed all alone
I drift into the danger zone
Deadly spitten cobra life of crime
I want revenge I want what's mine
[Chorus]
Endless vacation
Endless vacation
Endless vacation
Endless vacation
[Verse 2]
Like takin' Carrie to the high school prom
Something's always goin' wrong
Hair trigger temper tormented mind
Deadly spitten cobra I am losin' kind
The heart is the place devils congregate
When you're raised on a diet of bickering and hate
Hair trigger temper tormented mind
Deadly spitten cobra I'm losin' kind
[Bridge]
One, two, three, four
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
[Chorus]
