UNHOLY
- Gene Simmons, Vincent
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus
i lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
Unholy - Unholy!
(Instrumental break)
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!!
TAKE IT OFF
- Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, Roberts
I wanna watch some asses shakin' to the noise the boys are makin', uh huh
Ooh, so I hop into my car, hit the local titty bar, uh huh
'Cause that's my kind of situation when I need some perspiration, uh huh
I do my one-step shoppin' for the girl of my dreams
'Cause I can always be sure that she's as good as she seems
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
I wanna see what's inside, 'cause you got nothin' to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah!
Wave your panties in the air, lick your lips and shake your hair, uh huh
Ooh, when you spread a little oil, yeah, my blood begins to boil, uh huh
Yeah, it's so hard to choose, when you all look so fine
But I got nothin' to lose but my money and my mind
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
I wanna see what's inside, 'cause you got nothin' to hide
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
Ooh, take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, yeah! Take it off!
(Instrumental break)
Ooh, move your sweet body closer (I want to be alone with you)
Yeah, come on and be my fantasy (there's so much you and I could do)
Oh, you're so near I can taste you (you're teasin' me, yeah you're pleasin' me)
(Ahh) I know you're dancin' just for me, just for me, just for me
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot, I wanna see what you got
Take it off, pretty baby
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you'd do me
Girl, you got nothin' to hide, now lemme see what's inside
Take it off! Take it, take it, take it off! Yeah!
TOUGH LOVE
- Paul Stanley, Bruce Kulick, Bob Ezrin
Why don't you come around, and let me treat you right
I'm the one who gave you what you'd never had
You said I should be gentle and be good, but hoped to hell I would be bad
Chorus:
I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme tough love
C'mon and please me, take your time and tease me, gimme tough love
I tie you to the rings, I feel your fever rise
We love to do the things that others fantasize
And then you smile and bring me to my knees
But when I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing please
chorus - tough
I never knew how much I needed you till now
But now I know, and tonight I'm gonna show you how
(Instrumental break)
And then, I smile and bring you to your knees
And though I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing please
chorus - give it to me
Gimme tough love, tough!
SPIT
- Gene Simmons, Van Zen, Paul Stanley
But I know what I like, if you know what I mean
What'll people say? Well mister cantcha see
It don't mean spit to me
Hot damn, Lord above, I want a lotta woman with a lotta love
Well, thin is in, but it's plain to see, it don't mean spit to me
I need: big hips, sweet lips, make a man outta me
The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin' - most definitely
(I need a whole lotta woman) To keep me satisfied
(I need a whole lotta woman) Baby, for ride after ride after ride
(I need a whole lotta woman) Yeah, 'cause what you are is what you eat
And I need something sweet
Lock the windows, close the doors, then she get down on all fours
Let the neighbors talk, but can't you see, it don't mean spit to me
No! Oh yeah!
(I need a whole lotta woman) Yes I do, to keep me satisfied
(I need a whole lotta woman) Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, for ride after ride after ride

I'm tellin' you, 'cause what you are is what you eat
And I need something sweet (I want somethin')
(Instrumental break)

(I need a whole lotta woman) Yeah, 'cause meatless girls don't satisfy me
(I need a whole lotta woman) Mama mama, for ride after ride after ride
(I need a whole lotta woman) Yeah, that's right, what you are is who you eat
And I need something
(I need a whole lotta woman) Oh, I need a whole lotta woman

(I need a whole lotta woman) Yeah yeah, oh oh oh
GOD GAVE ROCK 'N' ROLL TO YOU II
- Russ Ballard, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
Chorus:
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
"Now listen"
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' till you realize - "I gotta tell ya!"
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
(Instrumental break)
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
chorus repeats out...
"I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag!
But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road
And that road's name is... Rock and Roll!"
DOMINO
- Gene Simmons
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah"
My my, ow, yeah!
Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino
Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of death
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls
They call her Domino - "so fine"
Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to vote
Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good
They call her Domino, Domino, Domino
(Instrumental break)
"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!"
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls - ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad habit, she's a bad habit!
"Yeah"
HEART OF CHROME
- Paul Stanley, Vincent, Bob Ezrin
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin' fine
Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy and I think about you all the time
I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was
There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice because
Chorus:
Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar (and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)
I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)
For your heart of chrome
Yeah, you really made a fool outta me
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold 'em to the BBC
You told me people can't be trusted, you gotta watch the things they do
But if you still believe in justice, I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya
Ooh!
chorus
(Instrumental break)
You told me lies about all that you feel
I realize now that nothing was real
You took everything you could beg borrow steal
chorus repeats 2x
THOU SHALT NOT
- Gene Simmons, Damon
Born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not"
Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy
Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God
And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not" - yeah
"Thou shalt not" - gotta live my life - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I please - "Thou shalt not"
Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah
And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees
'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
(Instrumental break)
'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - oh, yes I do - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - I'm gonna live my life - "Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not" - any way I choose - "Thou shalt not"
You got that right.
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU
- Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
Chorus:
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
It's gonna take a little time to show you, just what you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
(Instrumental break)
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
chorus
You're everything to me, you're everything to me
PARALYZED
- Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who knows, well I don't care, 'cause I don't fit in anywhere
But it's all right, yes it is all right
Well, I'm numb but that's my style, I've been numb for a little while
And it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Chorus:
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized
Cold inside, anesthetized, 'cause life has got me paralyzed
Who says I have to pay, I didn't want this anyway
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Who says life is good? "Love thyself", well I never could
But it's all right, yes it is all right
I'm here dressed in black, waiting for a heart attack
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I try to talk, I just can't speak, the urge is strong, but my brain is weak
And it's all right, yes it's all right
chorus
(Instrumental break)
And who says life is good? "Love thyself", well I never could
But it's all right, yes it's all right
I checked out yesterday, well there's nothing left to say
But it's all right, yes it's all right
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized, I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise, I'm paralyzed
Don't see nothin' in my eyes, 'cause man I've been lobotomized, I'm paralyzed
Cold inside, anesthetized, yeah, I'm feelin' otherwise, I'm paralyzed
I JUST WANNA
- Paul Stanley, Vincent
Yeah I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for some action
I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that
Chorus:
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna forget you
I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman Candle
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll
Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to, baby, I'm just tired of you, yeah
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna for
I just wanna forget you
(Instrumental break)
Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one more week
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more day
I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy breathing
Gettin' stone cold crazy till the dawn without a reason
I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of track
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I don't want a romance, or a second chance
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I just wanna for, I just wanna forget
chorus repeats 2x
I just wanna forget you, yeah!
