EAT THE RICH (AEROSMITH)
Well I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed
and how I got to thinkin´ about all those things you said
about ordinary people and how they make you sick
and if callin´ names kicks on you then I hope this does the trick.
´Cause I´m sick of your complainin´ about how many bills
and I´m sick of all your bitchin´´bout your poodles and your pills.
And I just can´t see no humor about your way of life
and I think I can do more for you with this here fork and knife.
Eat the rich: there´s only one thing that they´re good for...
...take one bite now - come back for more...
...I gotta get this off my chest...spit out the rest...
So I called up my head shrinker and I told him what I´d done
He said you´d best go on a diet yeah I hope you have some fun
and a don´t go burst a bubble on rich folks who get rude
´Cause you won´t get in no trouble when you eats that kinda food
Now they´re smokin´ up their junk bonds and then they go get stiff
and they´re dancin´ at the yatch club with Muff and Uncle Biff
but there´s one good thing that happens
when you toss your pearls to swine
their attitudes may taste like shit but go real good with wine...
...Believe in all the good things that money just can´t buy
then you won´t get no bellyache from satin´ humble pie
I believe in rage to riches your inheritance won´t last
so take your Grey Poupon my friend and shove it up your ass!...
...don´t stop me now I´m goin´ crazy...
...that´s my idea of a good time baby...

GET A GRIP (AEROSMITH)
Got to get a grip skin and bones it ain´t such a pity
If you think I´m vain better shut ya lip
I can´t explain how to be a fat city
You gotta live large, gotta let it rip...
...Don´t cha gimme no flack, honey...
...Ya gotta have stones if you´re living in the city
If ya wanna hang loose gotta get a grip, rip
Once upon a crime I thought I was cool but I don´t want to brag
Once I crossed the line I think I musta zigged when
I shoulda zagged...Same old...every day if things don´t change
you´re just gonna rot ´cause if you do what you´ve always done
you´ll always get what you always got Oh, could that be nothin´?...
...Who knows for sure yeah without a doubt
What goes on when the lights go out
Or who pulls in when I pull out
And what is a one-eyed trouser trout?
I was so shortsighted now the wrong been righted
I feel so delighted, I get so excited...
...You wanna get high in a new york minute
Choke that smoke, honey crack the whip
Your head gets dead as long as you´re in it...

FEVER (AEROSMITH)
I got a rip in my pants and a hole in my brand new shoes
I got a Margarita nose and breath full of Mad Dog Booze
I got the fever...They threw me outta jail I tell ya
it ain´t fair, I tried to kiss the judge from the electrica´
chair. Yeah we´re all here ´cause we´re not all there tonight...
The guitar´s cranked and the bass man´s blown a fuse
And when the whole gang bangs tell me then what´s your excuse?...
...Fever gives you lust with an appetite
It hits you like the fangs form a rattlesnake bite...
...We can´t run away from trouble there ain´t no place that far
But if we do it right at the speed of light
There´s the back seat of my car, caviar
I was feelin´ so high I forgot what day
Now I´m feelin´ low down even slow
Seems way too fast and now the booze don´t work
´Cause the drugs ran out of gas...
...The buzz that you be gettin´ from the crack don´t last
I´d rather be O.D.in´ on the crack of her ass
Yeah...My first time ever lover we fall asleep out on the lawn
And when I woke up I was all alone makin´ love to the Crack of Dawn
So yo, I beg yo pardon sir, the gangster of love rides again
Fever You know I gotta chill...It gimme such a thrill...
...Like a burnin´ plague...Yeah get outta my way...
...may be Hell and a cross to bear
As long as I´m in heaven honey I don´t care
You look so good, babe, you look so fine
I tell you you´re the image of the perfect crime
You get so tired holdin´ on so tight
If you think you´re goin´ crazy well you may be right...

LIVIN´ON THE EDGE (AEROSMITH)
There´s somethin´ wrong with the world today,
I don´t know what it is.
Something´s wrong with our eyes
We´re seeing things in a different way
and God knows it ain´t His
It sure ain´t no surprise...
We´re livin´ on the edge...
...The light bulb´s gettin´ dim,
there´s meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin
Then mister you´re a better man than I...
...You can´t help yourself from fallin´...at all...stop...
...Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation, is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin´
Even if it wasn´t would you still come crawlin´ back again?
I bet you would my friend. Again & again...
...Even if it was...
...There´s something right with the world today
And everybody knows it´s wrong
But we can tell ´em no or we could let it go
But I would rather be a hanging on...Yeah, you got to that now...

FLESH (AEROSMITH)
The day rolls in, the night rolls out,
desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast, you salivate,
and when you come it won´t be late
I guess by now you got the score
a little taste you want it more
From San Antone to Marrakesh.
Yeah, when the night comes
Everybody gotta have flesh,
you got me all soakin´ wet
flesh, the only thing that´s worth the sweat
From the day that Eve did Adam
down to Romeo and Juliet...
...The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love, this story´s told
from modern times to days of old
From Boston, Mass to Bangladesh...
It´s got me all soakin´ wet...
...From the Mississippi River
to the highest mountain in Tibet...
...From a Sufi in a rickshaw
to a bimbo in a pink Corvette...

WALK ON DOWN (AEROSMITH)
You wonder why you get holes in your shoes...
...they got more money than you...you got nothin´ to lose
It makes no sense, don´t try to figure it out, you gotta...
Walk on down...When you´re shit outta luck
There´s just one thing to do and that´s...
...When you´re shit outta luck...
...Well she says that she loves ya,
in your mind there´s no doubt,
but you feel like a stranger when the lights go out
As you lie there awake you think this ain´t no gift
Don´t try to figure that weight´s too heavy to lift...
...´Cause I got no time to lose, it´s my life if I choose
Put on my walkin´ shoes...
Back
SHUT UP AND DANCE (AEROSMITH)
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance, don´t get deep...
...Love has got me down a tear just hit the ground
So I started writing you this song but the words I wrote
came out all wrong. Yeah, but it´s all right...
...When you can´t define the crime then life ain´t worth a dime
When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight...When you work your fingers to the bone
Now what does that get you? Nothing
In a crowd of people you´re still alone
You hope that tells you something
The road to heaven is paved in hell
And it makes you wonder why we´re here at all
Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress and she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can´t do jack so...Sex it like a gun
You aim, you shoot, you run
When you´re splittin´ hairs with Mr. Clean
It´s like gettin´ head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun...
Back
CRYIN´ (AEROSMITH)
There was a time when I was so broken hearted
Love wasn´t much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah ´cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin´ kind
Listen, all I want is someone I can´t resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin´ when I met you, now I´m tryin´ to forget you
Love it sweet misery...just to get you, now I´m dyin´
´cause I let you. Do what you do down on me...
Now there´s not even breathin´ room between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we´re makin´ love must be one and the same
It´s down on me. Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It´s been on my mind. Girl, I gotta say we´re partners in crime
You got that certain something what you give to me
Takes my breath away. Now the word out on the street
Is the devil´s in your kiss. If our love goes up in flames
It´s a fire I can´t resist...Do what you do to me...
´Cause what you got inside ain´t where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain´t love ´til you give your heart
away...Do what you do down to...

GOTTA LOVE IT (AEROSMITH)
Shocking, psychedelic sandwich. Any way you can feel it
You shouldn´t try to conceal it, baby.
You got to make up your mind...I can steal it...
...you can deal it to me. You know the pleasure´s all mine
You gotta love it, you better own it...And God knows it
You gotta shu uh shove it. I´m gonna make things happen
Goin´ ´round´n, ´round´n...that´s right
I wanna say you´re a firecracker...a switchblade knife
You make your sex a career comin´ down from an all night tripper
Pull your foot from the ruby slipper
´cause you can´t get there from here...
...I got this feeling deep inside my gut
Overwhelming feeling of I know not what
One thing´s for sure I ain´t got time those who can´t relate
You gotta learn to love the midnight madness...
...revel in the good and badness. If yin ´n yang is your thing
What I gotta do to try and reach ya
Is it for real or just a double feature?
So let´s go throw the I Ching...
Back
CRAZY (AEROSMITH)
Come ´ere baby. You know you drive me up a wall the way
you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we´re makin´ up more than we´re makin´ love
And it always seems you got somn´ on your mind other than me
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways. You hear me?
Say you´re leavin´ on a seven thirty train and that
you´re headin´ out to Hollywood. Girl you´ve been givin´ me
that line so many times it kinda gets like feelin´ bad looks
good, yeah. That kinda lovin´ turns a man to a slave...
...Sends a man right to his grave. I go crazy...baby...
...You turn it on then you´re gone. Yeah you drive me...
...for you baby. What can I do, honey? I feel like the color blue
You´re packin´ up your stuff and talkin´ like it´s tough
and tryin´ to tell me that it´s time to go, yeah
But I know you ain´t wearin´ nothin´ underneath that overcoat
And it´s all a show, yeah...Make me wanna pull down the shade...
...Yeah now I´m never...gonna me the same...
...I´m losin´ my mind, girl ´cause I´m goin´ crazy

LINE UP (AEROSMITH)
If you think that you´re strong,
wanna fight well come on and line up...
...When the going gets tough and your talk ain´t enough...
...We gotta get up, get out before they get us down
´Cause livin´ up against the wall, yeah has got us locked up...
...So don´t be surprised when they pull the wool
over yo eyes. Yeah, don´t get funked up.
If you got all the stuff and you can´t get enough...
...If you´re out on a limb and you wanna come in...
...Your head´s down, sittin´ ´round,
pick yo face up off the ground
And get yo self together baby and learn to stand tough, heh ha...
...We better get to it instead of just standing around
It´s time to get down. If you´re playing to win
and your only way in is line up...If we all wanna live...
Then we all gotta give...You better get to it...
...You gotta get yourself a double...
...You gotta stand up and be crowded, yeah, yeah...You gotta love...

AMAZING (AEROSMITH)
I kept the right ones out and let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life when I was goin´ insane
Tryin´ to walk through the pain.
When I lost my grip and I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn´t get out the door
I was so sick and tired of livin´ a lie...
I was wishin´ that I would die. It´s Amazing...
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light...
...When the moment arrives that you know you´ll be alright...
...And I´m sayin´ a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot´s a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life´s a journey not a destination
And I just can´t tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk
But I just couldn´t listen to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street, just a tryin´ to survive,
scratchin´ to stay alive...
