I’ve got something on my mind
I want you to know
Rock troops are on the move
It’s starting to show
Paratroopers everywhere
Can’t you see?
Strategic weapons
Are something we don’t need

Chorus
Allied forces in every nation
Allied forces gonna take control
Allied forces of my generation
Allied forces of rock and roll

Youth culture in overdrive
Mass frustration
Too much, too little, too late
Class alienation
Denim armies working
Consolidate the might
War games, maneuvers
Rehearsals in the night

Chorus

I’ve got something on my mind
I want you to know
Rock troops are on the move
It’s starting to show
Paratroopers everywhere
Are ready to fight
We’re mobile allies
Marching every night

Chorus

It’s the same old story
All over again
You turn a lover into just a another friend
I want to love you; I want to make you mine
Won’t you, lay it on the line

I’m tired of playing your foolish games
I’m tired of all your lies, making me insane
I don’t ask for much
The truth will do just fine
Won’t you lay it on the line?

Chorus
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don’t waste my time

You’ve got no right
To make me wait
We better talk girl
Before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won’t you lay it on the line

Chorus

You know I love you (You know I love you)
You know it’s true (You know it’s true)
It’s up to you girl, now what’ve I got to do
Don’t hold me up girl,
Don’t waste my precious time
Won’t you, late it on the line

Chorus

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line (Lay it on the line)
Lay it on the line (Don’t hold me up girl)
Lay it on the line (No)
Lay it on the line (Lay it on the line girl)
Lay it on the line
No don’t hold me up
Lay it on the line (Lay it on the line) …

People say
Don’t ever look behind
Happiness is just a state of mind
Rock and roll lives and breathes
In the hearts of the young
So carry on
You’re running on borrowed time
Trying hard to survive
Keep on running, your time is coming
Keep your dreams alive

Chorus
Follow your heart (you got to follow you heart)
Living for today, forget about tomorrow
Follow your heart (you got to follow you heart)
Any other way will only lead to sorrow

Don’t wait any longer
Follow your heart

Play for keeps
And try to never lose
Live it fast but live the life you choose
Rock and roll lives and breathes
In the hearts of the young
So let it ride
Each time you roll the dice
Luck will finally arrive
Keep on running
Your time is coming
Keep your dreams alive

Chorus

Oh, listen to the rhythm
Your heart won’t lie
Rock and roll hearts
Just never die, never die

Chorus

Follow your heart, it’s all rock and roll
Follow your heart
Well, it’s never gonna die, never die, never gonna die

Follow your heart (you got to follow you heart)
In any other way, any other way tomorrow
Follow your heart (you got to follow you heart)
In any other way to survive
Follow your heart (you got to follow you heart)

Something’s at the edge of your mind
And you don’t know what it is
Something you were hoping to find
But you’re not sure what it is
Then you hear the music
And it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talking,
says the thing you want to hear

Chorus
I’m young, I’m wild and I‘m free
I got the magic power of music in me

She climbs into bed, she pulls the covers overhead
And she turns her little radio on
She’s had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ
Is going to play her favorite song
It makes her feel much better,
Brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power makes it better than it seems

She’s young now, she’s wild now she wants to be free
She gets the magic power of the music from me

If you’re thinking it over but you can’t sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you
What they think it’s all about
Are you the one and only who’s sad and lonely,
You’re reaching for the top
Well the music keeps you going and it’s never going to stop
It’s never going to stop

The world is full of compromise, the infinite red tape
But the music’s got the magic
it’s your one chance for escape
so turn me on, turn me up, it’s your turn to dream
a little magic power makes it better than it seems

Chorus

Makin my way to the job each day
Slave like a dog for my hard-earned pay
When the bell rings then I’m ready to run
Gonna get high, gonna have some fun
I know that the boss, he don’t think I’m good
But, baby I’m just badly misunderstood
Cuz you know what I like, oh yeah

Chorus
I live, I live, I live for the weekend x2

Ya know ya gotta serve
Know ya gotta please
My baby puts my mind at ease
Friday comes and I’m thinkin of you
Cuz at five o’clock they’re gonna set me loose
Come on, baby, we’re gonna live it up
Don’t  ya know that I can’t get enough
Of your sweet love

Chorus

I know baby you don’t think I’m good
But you got me badly misunderstood
Cuz you know what I like

Chorus

Music holds the secret
To know what can make you whole
It’s not just a game of notes
It’s the sounds inside your soul
The magic of the melody runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head like a dream

I sing this song for the common man
And for the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
And I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
For everyone to share
So hold on, and I will take you there
Hold on, and I will take you there

The daily routine takes your soul
Lost without a trace
It holds you down, and turns you round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar, another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself in the endless race

Chorus
Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart, and hold on to your dreams

Can’t you feel the magic, feel it everywhere
Can’t you hear the music, there’s something in the air
There’s a celebration, deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling, you know it can’t be wrong

Chorus
Hold On x4

Caught up in the routine, you’ve got to break it
Time won’t wait for us, we got to make it
Fate gives you the chance
You got to take it, take it,

Hold on x6

I’ve always wondered
What it would be like
Just you and me baby
Nothing else
We meet again
Both of us by circumstance
Stay with me
We might never get the chance to

Chorus
Hold on to love
Just one night
Don’t try to fight about it
Take me I’m yours
Just one night

I’m right about it
Don’t be alone don’t think
Of what we could have had
You’ll wonder why
You ever let this moment pass
You can’t deny
We see it in each other’s eyes
Close the door
Leave that empty world outside to

Chorus x4

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we’re running out of time
Every day it seems much harder telling right from wrong
You’ve got to read between the lines

Don’t be discouraged, don’t be afraid
We can make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The good book says it’s better to give
Than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothing in my pocket I got nothing up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith
Baby I am counting on you
You know what you’ve got to do

Chorus
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute of every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It’s your only way

All your life you’ve been waiting for your chance
Here you’ll fit into the plan
But you’re the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

You think a little more money
Will buy your soul Some rest
You’d better think of something else instead
You’re so afraid of being honest with yourself
You’d better take a look inside your head

Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There’s an answer in your heart

Chorus

If looks could kill then I know she would
She’s playing the part, you know it’s understood
I know the second glance was my first mistake
I took the chance that I had to take
Fire in her eyes made my blood run cold
She took me by surprise

Chorus
Spellbound, (Spellbound) dreaming of you all of the time
Spellbound, (Spellbound) feels like I’m falling over the line
Spellbound, (Spellbound) will my head be clear by the morning
light

I don’t make promises that I can’t keep
But I better think it over, I’m in way too deep
I’m shook up, paralyzed by her icy stare
Long legs and her golden hair
Late night love is on my mind
She took me by surprise and I’m…

Chorus

I’m on a one way ride to where I just don’t know
She put a spell on me, the fantasy comes and goes

I clear my head in the morning light
Start all over when I feel alright
I’ve better shape up before it’s too late
I think I’m losing my mind

Spellbound, (Spellbound) dreaming of you all the time
Spellbound, (Spellbound) feels like I’m falling over the line
Spellbound, (Spellbound) will my head be clear can I make it
right
Spellbound, can’t find a reason, can’t find a rhyme
Spellbound, (Spellbound) give me a signal, show me a sign
Spellbound, (Spellbound) will my head be clear in the morning light

Out in the streets inspiration comes hard
The joker in the deck keeps handing me his card
Smiling friendly he takes me in
Then breaks my back in a game I can’t win
Jiving’, hustlin’, what’s it all about
Everybody always wants the easy way out
Thirty golden pieces for the Judas kiss
What’s a nice boy doing in a place like this?

Chorus
Never surrender, keep your dreams alive
Never surrender, hold your head up high

Modern Apathetics, you got plenty of nothing to say
Some are born to follow, some will make their own way
Today you found a hero tomorrow you’ll forget
You’re looking for a convenient truth
You haven’t found one yet
You don’t make commitments
No time for regrets
Easy come, and easy go, and easy to forget
You never take responsibility
Don’t you know that part of you is a part of me?

Chorus

Never surrender, it’s easier said than done
But you got to finish what’s already begun
Never, that’s forever, seems like such a long time
Only got one life to live, it’s gonna be mine

Chorus

Never surrender we cannot be denied
Never surrender spread your wings and fly

Spotlights
House-light ready to cue
Backstage smoke is rising
Steaming like a witch’s brew
I want to play some rock ‘n’ roll
I want to sing the blues
Yes I know I feel it coming
Let the party roll

Chorus
When the lights go down
We’re ready to play the blues
When the lights go down
It’s time to light, time to light
Time to light the fuse

Oh no, they’re screaming like the 4^th of July
Hollywood comes to your hometown
Hammers cocked and ready to fire
I’ve got itchy fingers
For the trigger tonight
And I’m tired of waiting
So tired, let the party roll

Chorus

When the lights go down
When the lights go down
We’re ready to light the fuse
When the lights go down
Let the party roll on
Time to play the blues

Is it fate or random chance
How can I decide
Are we victims of circumstance
When destinies collide

All the odds are against you
But somehow you make it through
You can rationalize it away
But it all comes down to you
Half our lives we spend waiting
For the knock upon the door
When it comes, will it be
The one that I’ve been waiting for

Chorus
Somebody’s out there, somewhere
Waiting for someone to come their way
Somebody’s out there, somewhere
I will somehow be somebody’s someone
Someday

Standing in the shadows
Hiding from the light
Reach out in the darkness
And hold on for your life
All the fear of the future
All the loneliness inside
When the moment of truth arrives, hey
You can run but you can’t hide

Chorus

I can feel it inside me
I’ve been holding on so long
Something’s telling me something’s got to give
‘Cause the feeling’s way too strong
Too strong

Somebody’s out there, somewhere
Waiting for someone to come their way
Somebody’s out there, somewhere
I will make them mine

Chorus

(Somebody’s out there somewhere) x4

Tonight is the night everybody’s at the show
The girl and boys came to hear the rock and roll
You can’t stop when the rocket’s playin’
Everybody jump and shout
Let’s rock and reel it anyway you feel it
That’s what this is all about
Rock and roll machine
Faster than you ever seen
Rock and roll machine
All those eyes just lookin’ at you

Ooh baby you’re crazy
If you try to steal the show
Get set set ready time to watch the rocket go
Rock and roll machine plays faster
Easy as ringin’ a bell
A fire-ball steamer heavy metal screamer
Playin’ licks hotter than hell

Rock and roll machine
Faster than you ever seen
Rock and roll machine
All those eyes just lookin’ at you

Tonight is the night everybody’s at the show
The girl and boys came to hear the rock and roll
You can’t stop when the rocket’s playin’
Everybody jump and shout
Let’s rock and reel it anyway you feel it
That’s what this is all about

Rock and roll machine
Faster than you ever seen
Rock and roll machine
Everybody’s eyes just lookin’ at you x2

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, it marks
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
It holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts

I’m young, yes, I know
But even, even so
I know a thing or two
Baby, I learned from you
I really learned a lot
I really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
Burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
Ooh, love hurts

Some fools, they dream of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools just fool themselves, I guess
But they’re not fooling us

I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
Ooh, love hurts

Yeah
Love can burn you anytime, baby
Breaks your little heart in two
Ooh, are you tough enough?
Are you strong enough to take it, baby?
Take it, baby
Don’t want to be lonely
Loving we all need
Love, love, love, yeah
