1. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW (SURE CAN HURT YOU)
(words & music: D. Snider)

Good evening! Ha ha ha, welcome to our show
If you've got that problem, yeah, 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 faded glory 'cause you won't get a second chance

I want to tell you something, I'm someone you can trust
You'd better take a good hard look 'cause we're the 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

CHORUS:

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

Solo - Eddie

How do 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

What you dream


2. BAD BOYS (OF ROCK 'N' ROLL)
(words & music: D. Snider)

All right!
So we look kind of weird to you, well, how do you look to me?
How cool you sit there and sneer all through the night, don't you like what you see?
What are you thinking, what will you do when you get your chance to display
All the hang ups inside of you, well, we don't care what you say

CHORUS:

We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?

So you say we're offending you, what's wrong is it something we said?
Look at you squirm, hey you're sweating too, at least now I know you ain't dead
You're always trying to be so hard, tearing down all that we do
We're just having a good time, so let down your guard, we'll prove to you it ain't true

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Jay Jay

Now us boys are annoying too, well, we're sorry to be in your way
You can't stand anything we do, well, what would you like us to say?
We just wanna enjoy our lives, have fun with all that we do
Still you poison the good things with all of your lies, well, we're sick of listening to you

We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you

Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
Mad boys out of control
Bad boys of rock 'n' roll
How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?

How bad can a bad boy be if he sets you free?
We're the bad boys of rock 'n' roll (repeat)


3. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
(words & music: D. Snider)

He wakes up in the mornin' and he looks into the glass
His face it reminds him of the long nights that have passed
And he wonders if she wonders that he wonders about her
Well darlin', you'd better run for your life

Girl you played with my head
You destroyed my mind
Now I'd be better off dead
You'd better run for your life

Through abused intentions
You misused my trust
Now's the time for redemption
You'd better run for your life

Solo - Eddie

Girl, my life's in ruins
Pay 'The Tab of Pain'
Now I'm after you and
You'd better run for your life
You'd better run for your life
You'd better run for your life


4. SIN AFTER SIN
(words & music: D. Snider)

So, you don't realize exactly what you do
And though you never compromise, it's all been up to you
The lie you've been leading has you up to here in sin
You never like to think about it, now you just can't win!

You're committing sin after sin
Can't you feel it, sin after sin
It's so real it's sin after sin
Just look around you, sin after sin
Satan's found you

Thought yourself respectable but deep inside you know
You've violated all the rules and never let it show
Figuring you had time to straighten out the lie you lead
You didn't stop to notice as your soul began to bleed!

From committing sin after sin
Can't you see now, sin after sin
You ain't free now, sin after sin
You're committed to damnation, sin after sin
Lest you repent there's no salvation

Solo - Eddie

He's manipulating, salivating, promising only lies
First he'll confuse you, then abuse you, he's ever on the rise
You've got to realize it is he who tolls the bell
You must open up your eyes before you're burning deep in hell!

From committing sin after sin
Can't you feel it, sin after sin
It's so real it's sin after sin
Just look around you, sin after sin
Oh my goodness, Satan's found you

Sin after sin, sin after sin
Come on now, sin after sin, sin after sin
You know it's sin after sin, sin after sin
You've got your souls, you've got yourselves
Sin after sin, sin after sin
God help you


5. SHOOT 'EM DOWN
(words & music: D. Snider)

Come on, boys!
Ow!

She looks so fine like champagne or wine, no one ever gets her
Oh, ain't she cool, plays us for fools if we wanna let her
Across the room she sees some buffoon blown away by her style
She goes out of her way so that she can play and make him beg for a little while

CHORUS:

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down to the ground

Like caviar or a fine foreign car, he's a motivator
Dressed to the T's, they're down on their knees, he's master baiter
He'll make 'em crawl for the hell of it all, he likes to see 'em cry
And then just for fun he'll say she's the one and then he'll make her die
He's gonna

REPEAT CHORUS

They don't care about feelings, they were meant to be stepped on
And while one is healing, they go and step on another one

Solo - Jay Jay

Now, these people prey on us every day, some are bad, some badder
They think we're fools, so they make their own rules, it only gets us madder
Well, they think they're hot, well, I say they're not, they shoot us down for fun
If they wanna play, let's make 'em pay, shoot them down with a fuckin' gun

REPEAT CHORUS

Come on now!

REPEAT CHORUS

Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
Shoot 'em down, shoot 'em down
We shoot them down, come on, honey
Shoot them down, come on, shoot 'em down


6. DESTROYER
(words & music: D. Snider)

He spent his life a silent sentinel for all to fear
He walks, he talks, he thinks, he feels but no one dare go near
He takes in all he sees, nothing escapes his gaze
And when he strikes, he strikes for right, a glorious sight

CHORUS:

Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer
He's in town

He came to be from a grand mistake, a mystical charade
Created to decide the good and bring repercussive aid
As awareness filled his fame, he examined those who leered
Then he cleaved the air with his fiery stare, rend all those there

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Jay Jay

A day will come, you'll be drawn into the center of your town
And come upon a mass of steel that cracks the very ground
Prepare to meet your judge, don't think to run away
Just pray your face holds no disgrace for the deadly ace

Destroyer, Destroyer, Destroyer
He's in

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh, he's in town
You better stay out of his way
He's gonna kick your ass
Yeah

Destroyer


7. UNDER THE BLADE
(words & music: D. Snider)

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

CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS

Solo - Jay Jay

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 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, now you're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now, its 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

REPEAT CHORUS

Here it comes, baby
Ow!

Now you're under it
You're going down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Hey!
Ow!


8. TEAR IT LOOSE
(words & music: D. Snider)

There ain't no way I'm gonna wait for Saturday Night
I worked all day, I slaved away, I gotta set it right
I'm gonna hit the streets, cruise around, I gotta find some action
Ain't gonna stop until I drop or get some satisfaction!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I'm gonna tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Come on now, tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

I've been brutalized, computerized, punched in and punched out
Here comes the night and it just ain't right to be shut in or shut out
So I'm breaking down the barricades, gonna slow the hands of time
Cause to waste away the rest of the day is such a fucking crime!

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
I've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
You've got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose

Solo - left: Jay Jay, right: Fast Eddie Clarke

I'll keep grabbin' hold of all the gold in this old world of trash
Long as there's light breaking through the night I'm never gonna crash
And if I'm down and out one day, I won't throw in the deuce
I'll just kick it out, thrash about till I tear it loose, oh

Gonna tear it, gonna tear it loose
Gonna shout it from the roof
Blast my way into the night
I'm gonna live my dream, shout and scream!
We got to tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose
Alright, let's tear it loose, tear it loose
Tear it loose, tear it loose


9. I'LL NEVER GROW UP, NOW!
(words & music: D. Snider)

They say:

I say:

I'll never grow up, now
