DISC 1


1. HELLO HOORAY

Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin
I've been ready
Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim
I've been ready

Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream
Loving every second, every moment, every scream
I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one

Roll out! Roll out your American dream and its rescuit
I've been ready
Roll out! Roll out your circus freaks and hula hoops
I've been ready

Ready as theis audience that's coming here to dream
Loving every second, every moment, every scream
I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one

I can stand here strong and thin
I can laugh when this thing begins

God, I feel so strong
I feel so strong
I'm so strong
I feel so strong
So strong
God, I feel so strong
I'm so strong


2. RAPED AND FREEZING

Finally got a ride, some old broad down from Santa Fe
She was a real go-getter
She drawled so sweetly, "I think, child, that things'll get better"
"Yes, I read the Bible", she said, "I wannaknow of you"

We pulled off the highway, night black as a window
Hey, I think I've got a live one
Hey, I think I've got a live one, Yeah, Yeah
I think I've got a live one

Felt like I was hit by a dieselor a greyhound bus
She was no baby-sitter
"Get up, sugar, never thought you'd be a quitter"
I opened the back door, she was greedy
I ran through the desert, she was chasin
No time to get dressed ,so I was naked , stranded in Chihuahua

Alone raped and freezing
Alone cold and sneezing
Alone down in Mexico
Alone


3. ELECTED

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice
I wanna be elected
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce
I wanna be elected
Kids want a savior, don't need a fake
I wanna be elected
We're gonna rock to the rules that I make
I wanna be elected, elected, elected

I never lied to you, I've always been cool
I wanna be elected
I gotta get the vote, and I told you about school
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
Hallelujah, I wanna be elected
Everyone in the United States of America

We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
We're gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected


4. BILLION DOLLAR BABIES

Billion dollar baby
Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
Grimy as an alley
Loves me like no other lover
Billion dollar baby
Rubber little monster, baby, I adore you
Man or woman living couldn't love me like you, baby

We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising in the sky
If I'm too rough, tell me
I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands

I got you in the dimestore
No other little girl could everhold you
Any tighter, any tighter than me, bay
Billion dollar baby
Reckless like a gambler , million dollar maybe
Foaming like a dog that's been infected by the rabies

We go dancing nighty in the attic
While the moon is rising the sky
If I'm too rough , tell me
I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands

Million dollar baby
Billion dollar bay
Trillion dollar baby
Zillion dollar baby


5. UNFINISHED SWEET

Candy everywhere , got chocolate in my hair
Aching to get me
Stickly sweet suckers in the Halloween air
Aching to get me
Saint Vitus dance on my morals tonight
Aching to get me
Aching to get me, get me oh ...

Take it to the doc, I guess he ought to know
La, la, la, da
Which ones can stay , which one gotta go
He looks in my mouth and then he starts to gloat
He says me teeth are O.K.
But my gums got to go
Oh oh ...

I come off the gas but I'm still seeing spies
Aching to get me
I can see them all through a glassy pair of eyes
Aching to get me
De Sade's gonna live in my mouth tonight
La, da, da, da, da
And the rotten tooth fairy is satisfied
La, da, da, da, da
Aching to get me, get me oh ...


6. NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
Till they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm gettin' real shot down
And I'm feelin' mean

No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm feelin' real shot down
And I'm gettin' mean

No more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
Mom's been thrown out of the social circles
And dad has to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose the Reverend Smithy
He recognized me and punched me in the nose

He said, no more Mister Nice Guy
No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
He said you're sick, you're obscene


7. GENERATION LANDSLIDE

Please clean your plate dear
The Lord above can see you
Don't you know people are starving in Korea

Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles
Kindergarten people, they use them, they need them

The over-indulgent machines were their children
There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool them
'Cause they looked just like humans
At Kresge's and Woolworth's
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in batallions were ruling the streets
Saying generation landslide
Closed the gap between them

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies

Militant mothers hiding in their basements
Using pots and pans as thier shields and their helmets

Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs
While Mother's Lib burned birth certificate papers
Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance

Sister's out till five doing banker's son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father

Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour

The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em

But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies



8. SICK THINGS

Sick things in cars rotate around my stars
Sick things ,my things, my pets, my things

I love you
Things, I see as much as you love me, you things are heavently when you come worship me
You things are chilled with fright for I am out tonight
You tell me where to bite, you whet my appetite

I eat my things
What love it brings
Come here, my things
Don't fear my little things

Sick things in cartridge tapes my stars
Sick things, play things, pretty things, pretty things, my things


9. MARY-ANN

Mary-Ann, I'm really crazy about you, deed I am
I just can't live without you, Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann
My life was built around you
Stars and sand, your eyes were pools of laughter, Mary-Ann
I thought you were my man


10. I LOVE THE DEAD

I love the dead before they're cold
They're bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never knew your rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, Darling

I love the dead (x18)

I love the dead before they're cold
Their bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see... nothing!

4. I'M EIGHTEEN

Lines form on my face and hands
lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen
and I don't know what I want
Eighteen
I just don't know what I want
Eighteen
I gotta get away
I gotta get out of this place
I'll go runnin' in outer space
oh yeah

I got a
baby's brain and an old man's heart
took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
feels like I'm livin' in the middle of doubt
'cause I'm

Eighteen
I get confused every day
Eighteen
I just don't know what to say
Eighteen
I gotta get away

Whoa lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form on the left and right
I'm in the middle
The middle of life
I'm a boy and
I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I like it
Yes I like it
Oh I like it
Love it
Like it
Love it
Eighteen
Eighteen
Eighteen
Eighteen
And I like it

7. MY STARS

My stars
So far
No one's callin me home

Space brain
Vagabond
Living on my own

Come all ye faithful
You know all you people should come to me
I'll make you arms work
And I'll make your legs work
I'll make you see
Ladada dadada dadada dadada da da dum
Whoa, yeah

Well I swear by the air
I'll be made to breathe
You'll pay very dear for this banishing deed
The power alone stored in my little hand
Could melt the Eiffel Tower
Turn the Sphinx into sand

Oh no
Thar she blows
Spreadin crazy news
All night
Cannonball
Loves to light the fuse

And everyone blows up
and nobody grows up
to fill Dad's shoes
But that doesn't matter
cuz no little boys really wanted to

I stared at the squall line
I stared at the fault line
I see a funnel black there
I think I see a crack there
Landscapes alive
And it's movin my feet
All I need's a Holocaust
To make my day complete


8. UNFINISHED SWEET

Candy everywhere , got chocolate in my hair
Aching to get me
Stickly sweet suckers in the Halloween air
Aching to get me

10. DEAD BABIES

Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf upon the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't hear her little baby call

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't want you anyway
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Daddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar 'most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and white

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/alice-cooper-lyrics/dead-babies-lyrics.html)
Well, we didn't love you anyway
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Goodbye, little Betty
Goodbye, little Betty
So long, little Betty
So long, little Betty
Betty, so long

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't need you anyway
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Goodbye, little Betty

{Order in the court
Order in this court room
Order, outside the court
Order in the court, sitback}


11. I LOVE THE DEAD

13. SON OF BILLION DOLLAR BABIES

Please clean the plate, dear
The Lord up there can see ya
Don't you know people are starving in Korea?
Alcohol and razor blades and poisons and needles
Kindergarten people - they use 'em, they need 'em
The over-indulgant machines were their children
There wasn't a way down on Earth there to cool 'em
'Cause they look just like humans at Kresges and Woolworths
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in battalions were ruling the streets
Sayin' generation landslide close the gap between 'em

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
Lada da da da

Militant mothers hiding in the basement
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles thrown from pink high chairs
As Mothers' Lib burned birth certificate papers

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
Lada da da da
