Lyrics


1. HEADHUNTER

I am the animal, my god, I am the beast
I love to see you bleed, so welcome to my feast
We're serving human flesh to keep you satisfied
With every bloody bite you eat, another's going to die

Don't give me politics, don't give me public schools
Just keep the cops and t.v. police, from breaking all the rules
I am the raging bull, no fear, no Sympathy
Sex and drugs and rock and roll, that's my cup of tea

Feel the heat, throw your bodies into the fire
Time to feed, Headhunter, Headhunter
Headhunter, Headhunter

My axe is clean and soft and blade is shining bright
She's hungry for her midnight snack
And heads will roll tonight, I am the hunter
Not easy to please, stand in line, she cures their lust
Victims on their knees aahh

Headhunter, Headhunter
Headhunter, Headhunter
Headhunter, Headhunter


2. EAT THE RICH

I've been down, I've been beat, I've been tossed into the street
Beggin' nickels, beggin' dimes just to get my bottle of wine

Some say life she's a lady, kinda soft, kinda shady
I can tell you life is rich, she's no lady, she's a bitch

They suck my body out, but friend there is no doubt
I'm gonna pay the devil his dues, 'cause I'm sick of being abused

Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, don't you know life is a bitch
Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, out of the palace and into the ditch

Steal my money, steal my car, took my woman and my old guitar
Runnin' crazy, runnin' wild, blind alley in my mind

Just can't fight the temptation it's become my inspiration
Gonna get myself an axe, break some heads, break some backs

They suck my body out, but friend there is no doubt
I'm gonna pay the devil his dues, 'cause I'm sick of being abused

Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, don't you know life is a bitch
Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, out of the palace and into the ditch

Don't stop me

Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, don't you know life is a bitch
Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, out of the palace and into the ditch

Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, don't you know life is a bitch
Eat The Rich, Eat The Rich, out of the palace and into the ditch

Out of the palace and into the ditch
They suck my body out


3. SCREAMING IN THE NIGHT

Sons of vengeance, can you rescue me, they got me tied up to a woe tree
They had me screamin' and alone in the night
I'm beginning to see what's wrong and what is right
What is wrong and what is right, oh, what is wrong and what is right

The gates was gettin' rusty, as we sailed into the dark
The stars were out and shinin' against the moonlit hour
The wolves were out and howlin', most of the time
And I was cold and shiverin' and bleedin' in the night
Bleedin' in the night, oh, bleedin' in the night

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true

In the corner of the valley, we took him by surprise
The sound of steel rang loud, above the battle cries
I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart
I picked her up, and held her high, and I swore to be avenged
Swore to be avenged, oh swore to be avenged

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true


4. READY TO BURN

It's gettin' so late now, I'm headin' for the city
I've got a date and she's so pretty
Jump in my car and no hitchin' for a ride
Goin' to hit that high speed all the time

Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn

She's got chrome wire wheels, bucketseats made of leather
She's as tough as steel and light as a feather
You feel the power as you touch the petal
She's hot as hell, she's real heavy metal

Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn

She's got plenty of power, she feels real good
Well put together for the neighborhood

Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn

Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn
Are you Ready To Burn, Ready To Burn

Hit the road Jack


5. NIGHT WOLF

I walk the city streets and I'm looking for some tushie
I want to feel, I want to touch, and not just some hoochie koochie
9 to 5, half alive, devil in a sheepskin, time to die, the beast is out
I'm going down in sin, I remember shadows, I'm leaving for my grave
Something's in the air tonight, you can smell it all the way

Night Wolf, Night Wolf, burning with desire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, turn my heart on fire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, burning with desire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, turn my heart on fire

I get my kicks, from rock and roll, attracted to sensation
Getting high, going out of control, there's a fire in my soul
I'm a tail right on your tail, looking to get laid
Murder's up, cheap for some, good times going to stay
Hanging in the shadows, I'm looking for some more
Open up your pearly gates, I'm standing at your door

Night Wolf, Night Wolf, burning with desire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, turn my heart on fire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, burning with desire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, turn my heart on fire

Night Wolf, Night Wolf, burning with desire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, turn my heart on fire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, burning with desire
Night Wolf, Night Wolf, turn my heart on fire

Turn my heart on fire, turn my heart
Turn my heart, turn my heart
Turn my heart on fire, fire, fire, fire

7. STAND AND BE COUNTED

And you know we're livin' every hour, as if it were the last one
Let's stand up to evil powers, in just a second we can be gone
We don't believe in superstition, when by the words we come
And there's only one conclusion, to rid the world of all the scum

Stand And Be Counted, millions together as one
Stand And Be Counted, back to life, livin' through the danger zone

Some people call it revolution, while others, well they just frown
So far away in their illusion, it's our job, let's get it done
I live to taste a sense of shadow, the kind of places we all know
Let's not wait until tomorrow, time is right we gotta go

Stand And Be Counted, millions together as one
Stand And Be Counted, back to life, livin' through the danger zone

Stand And Be Counted, Stand And Be Counted
You know you got to Stand And Be Counted
Come on, come on, come on
I said Stand And Be Counted, alright yeah
I said Stand And Be Counted
Come on, come on, yeah
Stand And Be Counted, yeah


8. WHITE DIN

(Instrumental)

9. RUSSIAN WINTER

Across the border and down the plains, the tiger meets the bear
No one is right, no one is wrong, nobody seems to care

They fight for power, they fight for lust, spilling their blood on the dust
A thousand miles without names, fear remains the same

Russian Winter, broken pass, cold winds in the dark
The goose is loose and kills tonight, full moon burning bright

Run for your life, run for your life
Run for your life, run for your life

So the bear and the tiger lost in the snow, Tashkent's far away
To feel the fire, to save the bear, nothing can stand in his way

Five fields of death, it's hard to predict, the battle in the white emptiness
The king on his throne is all alone, will this madness go on

Run for your life, run for your life
Run for your life, run for your life

Run for your life, run for your life, run for your life, run for your life
Run for your life, run for your life, run for your life, run for your life
Run for your life, run for your life, run for your life, run for your life
Run for your life, run for your life, run for your life, run for your life
