Decadence Dance

 
"Francis! 
 Francis! Be careful!" 
 
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses 
Running a rat racing won by our noses 
Always put one foot in front of the other 
And dance to the beat of the dacadent drummer 
 
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes 
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop 
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance 
 
Dance, dance 
Dance, dance 
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance 
Everybody decadancing 
Dancing to the decadence 
Dancing to the decadence dance 
 
It's hard to stop once the music gets started 
'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did  
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer 
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer 
 
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes 
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop 
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance 
 
Dance, dance 
Dance, dance 
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance 
Everybody decadancing 
Dancing to the decadence 
Dancing to the decadence dance 

Li'l Jack Horny

 
Mother Goose 
Never should haver ever let that Jack get loose 
But that little boy blue 
Keeps messing all the things he gets his hands into 
 
Now look what you've done 
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum 
 
Mama says, "Boys will be boys" 
That's Li'l Jack Horny 
Mama says "Boys will be boys" 
That's Li'l Jack Horny 
 
Jack and Jill 
Went up and down and up and fooled around the hill 
Now only time will tell 
How late the rabbit will arrive in wonderland 
 
Now look what you've done 
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum 
 
Mama says, "Boys will be boys" 
That's Li'l Jack Horny 
Daddy says "Don't need no birth control" 
That's Li'l Jack Horny 

When I'm President

 
I remember it well 
I was just about three 
My dad said 
"Son what do you want to be?" 
It didn't ring no bells but I said 
"Daddy I'm a bit too young what do you want from me?" 
 
I'm much older now 
I'm almost a man 
I can do anything, you bet I can 
Raise a family 
Now wouldn't that be grand 
So sorry but I got bigger plans 
 
You can be anything in the world today 
Something like a preacher, a teacher 
A baseball player 
Those kind of things I just don't care 
I want to represent the USA 
 
The American Dream 
As far as the eye I say can you see 
I want to be 
I want to be the leader of the country 
 
When I'm President 
Things will be different 
We'll start a new government 
When I'm President 
When I'm President 
You can be in my cabinet 
I'll be your heaven sent 
President 
 
First things first we're gonna change the rules 
Better listen up all you boys and girls 
Your president says there'll be no after school 
So vote for me wouldn't that be cool 
 
Yeah! Yeah! 
 
Now I know there's trouble in the Middle East 
I'll spend all the money when I stop the Arms Race 
All my brothers in the desert 
Gonna have themselves a feast 
When that's done then we'll start on world peace 
 
So go ask Alice 
Cos you know what he said 
What did he say? 
Remember, "I wanna be elected" 

Get The Funk Out

 
If you don't like what you see here 
Nobody wants to take you prisoner 
So let me make it nice and clear dear 
The exit is right there 
I don't mean to be rude dude 
But you'd better change your attitude 
 
I don't like what I see here 
 
You're all invited to the party 
You know you didn't have to come 
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun 
 
If you don't like what you see here 
Get the funk out 
We won't try to force feed you 
Get the funk out 
 
You can't please everbody 
But everybody cannot please me 
That's why I do what I want to 
So why don't you do, do it to, do it to me, hey 
So if you don't like what you see here 
You can always leave the country 
 
I don't like what I see here 
 
You're all invited to the party 
You know you didn't have to come 
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun 
 
If you don't like what you see here 
Get the funk out 
We won't try to force feed you 
Get the funk out 
 
All I see is pronograffiti 
All I hear pornograffiti 
It's a monster we all have within us 
The American dream 
I need more money 
I need more money 
Just a little more money 
Just a little more money 
Everybody's got a need 
Everybody's got to feed 
He man woman hater 
He man woman hater 
He man woman hater 
Dancing to the decadence dance 
 

More Than Words

 
Saying I love you 
Is not the words I want to hear from you 
It's not that I want you 
Not to say, but if you only knew 
How easy it would be to show me how you feel 
More than words is all you have to do to make it real 
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 
Cos I'd already know 
 
What would you do if my heart was torn in two 
More than words to show you feel 
That your love for me is real 
What would you say if I took those words away 
Then you couldn't make things new 
Just by saying I love you 
 
More than words 
 
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand 
All you have to do is close your eyes 
And just reach out your hands and touch me 
Hold me close don't ever let me go 
More than words is all I ever needed you to show 
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 
Cos I'd already know 
 
What would you do if my heart was torn in two 
More than words to show you feel 
That your love for me is real 
What would you say if I took those words away 
Then you couldn't make things new 
Just by saying I love you 
 
More than words

It('s a Monster)

 
Everbody was born in it 
Shure as hell gonna die in it 
Some people don't give a shit 
Whether or not they're full of it 
 
It's on my mind most of the time 
That's when you find we all go blind 
Then it will start to get in our hearts 
It's gone too far, that's who we are 
 
It's a monster 
We all have within us 
It's a monster 
It's a monster 
Turns us into sinners 
It's a monster 
 
It started when I played with it 
It turned into a habit 
And after that once you've been bit 
You can't seem to get rid of it 
 
It's on my mind most of the time 
That's when you find we all go blind 
Then it will start to get in our hearts 
It's gone too far, that's who we are 
 
It's a monster 
We all have within us 
It's a monster 
It's a monster 
Turns us into sinners 
It's a monster 

Pornograffitti

 
Sex! 
 
Sex on the brain 
Pumped in my veins 
Flowing from my head to my feet 
Sex on TV 
Rotation heavy 
You and I are what we eat 
Sex when I'm all alone 
It calls me on the phone 
Can't stop this ringing in my ear 
Sex in excess 
Filling all our senses 
Keep saying there's nothing to fear 
 
Can't you read the writing on the wall 
Can't you seee the rising and the fall 
 
All I see is pornograffitti 
All I hear pornograffitti 
See no, hear no 
All I speak pornograffitti 
All I fear pornograffitti 
Speak no evil 
 
Sex in 3D 
No evil eyes see 
Too much of it and you'll go blind 
Sex education 
Misinformation 
Kiss me where the sun don't shine 
Sex it surrounds me 
Pornograffiti 
It's all so constitutional 
Sex is literate 
Read all about it 
But censor where you all can go 
 
Can't you read the writing on the wall 
Can't you see the rising and the fall 
 
All I see is pornograffitti 
All I hear pornograffitti 
See no, hear no 
All I speak pornograffitti 
All I fear pornograffitti 
Speak no evil 
 
Sex sells 
 

When I First Kissed You

 
 
New York City can be so pretty 
From a bird's eye view 
Because up there 
Yeah, that's where I first kissed you 
A modern day romance 
A perfect performance 
Acting like two fools 
Saying silly things 
Whisper sweet nothings 
Live young lovers only do 
 
I was shaking 
You were breathtaking 
Like the Empire State 
My voice was so far 
Not quite Sinatra 
Singing songs so great 
The clock struck one 
The night still very young 
In the city that never sleeps 
Then a whirlwind blew 
When I first kissed you 
nearly swept me 
Swept me off my feet 
 
When I first kissed you 
That's when I knew 
I was in love 
 
Because up there 
Yeah, that's where 
I first kissed you 

Suzi (Wants Her All Day What?)

 
 
Sexy Suzi 
Losing all her sleep 
Feeling ver hungry 
She's got her tongue in cheek 
Sweet and sour 
A bitter tasting treat 
It's the only flavor 
I think she likes to 
She likes to eat 
 
Suzi wants her all day sucker 
Suzi wants her all day what? 
Suzi wants her all day sucker 
Suzi wants her all day 
 
Hard rock candy 
Coated cavities 
Licking lollipoppers 
As long as she says pretty please 
You'd better mind your manners 
Little Red Riding Hood 
Got a healthy appetite 
So don't be scared big bad wolf 
I think she doesn't 
She doesn't bite 
 
Suzi wants her all day sucker 
Suzi wants her all day what? 
Suzi wants her all day sucker 
Suzi wants her all day 
 
Try this tongue twister on for size 
 
Suzi sells seashells on the seashore 
Suzi sells seashells on the what? 
 
Suzi wants her all day sucker 
Suzi wants her all day what? 
Suzi wants her all day sucker 
Suzi wants her all day

He Man Woman Hater

 
"No Women Allowed!" 
 
Let me tell you about this love and hate relation 
Between a man and a woman 
And so none of you all get the wrong interpretation 
I can't live with them 
I'm gonna die without them 
 
Sooner or later 
You'll be a he man woman hater 
It's inevitable 
And to become one 
You've gotta really hate to love them 
He man woman hater 
 
He, he man woman hater 
You know I love to hate cause I hate to love them 
 
He man's behavior 
Doesn't need no explanation 
We all got a one track mind 
He men have always had a sexual preoccupation 
It's gonna be your place or it's gonna be mine 
 
Sooner or later 
You'll be a he man woman hater 
It's inevitable 
And to become one 
You've gotta really hate to love them 
He man woman hater 
 
He, he man woman hater 
You know I love to hate cause I hate to love them 
He, he man woman hater 
Can't live with em gonna die without 'em 
 

Song For Love

 
I lie awake with open eyes 
My love just died 
I'm cold inside 
Can't face the thought to be alone 
All by myself on my own 
Love's come and gone 
 
I look around and see 
The hearts that still are broken 
I can't believe all of our hearts remain unopened 
We can't go go on and on 
Wit that same old song 
So wipe off the frown 
And turn around and face each other 
Come on, come on 
Let's sing a song 
 
A song for you, a song for me, a song for love 
 
All for one and one for all together 
Singing a song for love 
You and I are none without the other 
Singing a song for love 
 
You let the time pass by 
Big boys don't cry 
Believe that lie 
A broken heart that never mends 
Is this the end 
Listen my friend 
 
These walls of hate 
That separate on from the other 
Time to rebuild bridges of love 
One to another 
Come on, come on 
Let's sing a song 
 
A song for you, a song for me, a song for love 
 
All for one and one for all together 
Singing a song for love 
You and I are none without the other 
Singing a song for love 

Hole Hearted

 
Life's ambition occupies my time 
Priorities confuse the mind 
Happiness one step behind 
This inner peace I've yet to find 
 
Rivers flow into the sea 
Yet even the sea is not so full of me 
If I'm not blind why can't I see 
That a circle can't fit 
Where a square should be 
 
There's a hole in my heart 
That can only be filled by you 
And this hole in my heart 
Can't be filled with the things I do 
 
Hole hearted 
Hole hearted 
 
This heart of stone is where I hide 
These feet of clay kept warm inside 
Day by day less satisfied 
Not fade away before I die 
 
Rivers flow into the sea 
Yet even the sea is not so full of me 
If I'm not blind why can't I see 
That a circle can't fit 
Where a square should be 
 
There's a hole in my heart 
That can only be filled by you 
And this hole in my heart 
Can't be filled with the things I do 
There's a hole in my heart 
That can only be filled by you 
And this hole in my heart 
Can't be filled with the things I do 
 
Hole hearted 
Hole hearted 
Hole hearted 
Hole hearted
