And the Company Says

You walk into town
and you look all around
and it doesn’t take long
to see that something is wrong
very wrong

the people stand around
with their eyes on the ground
it doesn’t take long . . .

and the Company sez
it’s a company town
now, if you don’t like that
don’t ya hang around

and the Company says
it’s a company town
if you don’t like that
sell a penny on the pound
(now give ‘way)

One man stands
says I won’t run
but the goons come around
with their clubs and guns

and they knock him down
and they kick him around
and they drag his body
to the edge of town

and the company says
he’s better off dead
than fightin’ with us

and the comapny says
it’s a company town
if you dont like that
we’ll put you in the ground

rpt 1st verse

and the Company sez
it’s a company town
now, if you don’t like that
don’t ya hang around

and the Company says
it’s a company town
if you don’t like that
sell a penny on the pound
(now give ‘way)

and the company says
he’s better off dead
than fightin’ with us

and the comapny says
it’s a company town
if you dont like that
we’ll put you in the ground

Angel’s Vacation

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

ANGEL’S VACATION

He tried to do what was right
but it always turned out wrong
the heavenly host were not impressed
and he had to blow out of town

he came to earth near Phoenix
in the middle of summertime
he walked to the first bar he saw
and ordered whiskey, beer, and wine

[] An angel came down from heaven
hoping to get away [to clear his name]
he stewed in the hotel bar all night
and baked by the pool all day

He pushed the desk clerk to a breakdown (breakdown breakdown)
and drove the other guests away
he punched out the hotel detective (–tective –tective)
and ran off with the pretty dark eyed maid

They laid out on the lam for 40 days and nights
and on the 41st they had to rest
the pretty dark eyed maid was all worn out
and the angel was scared to death

he knew they’d have no trouble tracking him down
angels have this certain glow
and when they said it was time to leave
Buddy, then it’s time to go

An angel came down from heaven
hoping to get away
he stewed in the hotel bar all night
and baked by the pool all day

Another Dead Soldier (in My War on Alcohol)

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

ANOTHER DEAD SOLDIER (IN THE WAR ON ALCOHOL)

Woke up this morning
wondering about last night
kinda think I coulda took some drink
but my memory just don’t serve me right

Now the last thing I remember
You were walking out the door
My hand reached for the bottle
and then there ain’t no more

Just another dead soldier
in the war on alcohol
put him with his brothers
line ’em up against the wall

Just another dead soldier
in my war on alcohol
I won’t be satisfied
til I’ve killed them all

I lay awake at night, baby
but it ain’t because of you
I’m just listening to the plaster crack
and the clock tick in the next guy’s room

You’re just a blue recollection
but that ain’t nothing new
I’m gonna drown than memory
it’ll be the last thing that I do

Gospel of Greed

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

It’s the gospel of greed
(they call it/) it’s the age of me
but it isn’t just I
it is them and thee

Now it’s natural to want to
take care of yourself
but when you take too much
you steal from somebody else

and if you think they’re gonna take that lying down
(you) must be a politician or a TV-preacher clown
riding around in your Mercedes Benz
giving money to hookers and screwing your friends

(You’re singing)
I don’t care if the eskimos freeze
as long as they don’t sneeze on me
I don’t care if the starving survive
long as they don’t try to make a feast of a slice of my pie

Hasta la Vista, M’Cheri

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Hasta la vista mon cheri

I’m sorry I have to go
but I thought you might like to know
it’s not my heart
that made us part
I’m just leaving cause I have to go

Sometimes love tears us apart
sometimes it’s best not to start
but sometimes you find
that love’s truly blind
and usually you’re just not too smart

So it’s: “Hasta la vista mon cheri,”
It’s just another way to say “Ciao, Baby”
Sayanora, auf weidersein
I’ll see you when I see you again.

I don’t know when we’ll meet again
but at least we’re parting as friends
Maybe I lied
of but Baby I tried
A mistake I won’t be makin’ again

I’m sorry I have to go
but I thought you might like to know
It’s not my heart
that says we must part
It’s my shrink that says you gotta go

Head Full of Crazy, Heart Full of Fire

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

When I see you
and I look in your eyes
I get a head full of crazy
and a heart full of fire
but I cant talk about it
and I cant act on it
and I couldnt really stop it
even if I wanted
I’m tellin you so that you understand
that’s what it’s like to be a man…

I work all day and
I sweat in the sun
I’ll work all by life
and I’ll die when it’s done
but if I had you
to sleep by my side
if I had you
to be my bride
if I had you
I’d be glad to be a man

Now I know that you
would really like to stay
but I have responsiblities
that must come into play
I must think of what’s right
— what’s right for you
When his girl loses her head
— a man’s gotta think for two
but that’s what it’s like
that’s what its like to be a man

I Lost My Best Friend

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I lost my best friend the day that I lost you

I lost my best friend the day that I lost you
I lost my best friend the day that I lost you
I lost my best friend but at least I got the hell rid of you

I feel so bad when I see him on the street with you
I feel so bad when I see him out on the street with you
I wanna rush up to him and say . . .
“Don’t worry brother, I know just what you’re goin’ through!”

I wake up at night and count my lucky stars now you’re gone
I wake up at night baby and count my lucky stars now you’re gone
I lost three good years of my life baby
but I live like a man reborn from this day on

last night I lost the best friend (thing) I ever had
but at least I gots rid a you-

It’s Only Been a Million Years

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

It’s Only Been a Million Years

One day you’ll wake up
and figure out I’ve gone
Only thing surprise me
took you so damn long

Only been a million years
since I had a dream
It’s only been forever
since I felt a thing

one day I love you
next day I don’t
Hard to believe
You didn’t know

It only takes an instant
for the hottest flame to die
it only takes forever
to spend your life wond’rin’ why

Pretty Little Head

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Pretty Little Head

Babe I’ve been alone for such a long time
this loneliness tearin’ me apart
I got a pain in my head and a fire in my loins
and a whole lot of empty in my heart

If you had a thought in your pretty little head
Then maybe we could talk
today we’re alive tomorrow we’re dead
so I think right now we’d better rock

I look in your eyes and I wonder what
is going on in your mind
Are you really where you are
or where you’ll be tomorrow night?

your leg touches mine beneath the table
I feel your hand slide up my thigh
I feel kinda dizzy I feel kinda high
I feel like I’m gonna die

If you had a thought in your pretty little head
Then maybe we could talk
today we’re alive tomorrow we’re dead
so I think right now we’d better rock
