01. What You Don't Know

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

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

02. Shoot 'Em Down

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

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

03. Under The Blade

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

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!

04. Leader Of The Pack

Hey, is he really goin' out with her?
There he is, let's ask him
Hey man, is that your ring she's wearin'?
Uh huh
Man, it must be great ridin' with her
Are you pickin' her up after school today?
Uh huh
By the way, where'd you meet her?
I met her at the candy store
She turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture?
Yeah, we see
That's when she fell for

The leader of the pack

Her folks were always putting me down (down, down)
They said I came from the wrong side of town (they said he came from the wrong side of town)
They told her that I was bad but she knew I was sad
That's why she fell for

The leader of the pack

One day her dad said find someone new (new, new)
She had to tell me that we were through (? you better go find somebody new)
I stood there and asked her why but all she could do was cry
"I'm sorry I hurt you"

The leader of the pack

She was so small
As she kissed me goodbye her tears were beginning to show
And as she drove away on that rainy night I begged her to go slow
If she heard I'll never know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
The gang they all stop and stare, I can't hide my tears but I don't care
I'll never forget her

The leader of the pack

Leader of the pack
And now she's gone (repeat 11 times)
