Money makes the world go round
It can raise you up or keep you down
We're all slaves to cold hard cash
It seems to me it just ain't fair

Some got much too much
But I got none

Multi-million dollar deals
Supercars and penthouse suites
While I'm standing on the welfare line
Hey brother can you spare a dime?

Some got much too much
But I got none

Yeah, I got the poor man's blues
Yeah, I got the poor man's blues
Yeah, I got the poor man's blues

Money makes the world go round
Money makes the world go round
Money makes the world go round
Money makes the world go round

Some got much too much
While I got none
Some got much too much
While I got none
Some got much too much
But I got none
Some got much too much
But I got none

Yeah, I got the poor man's blues
Yeah, I got the poor man's blues
Yeah, I got the poor man's blues
I got the poor man's blues
And that's a fact

Stop, you've gone too far
You're out of line
I'm fine the way I am

There, ain't nothing wrong
With the path I'm on
You'll never understand

CHORUS:
When the day is done
I'm gonna make my bed
So don't waste your time trying to change me
Cuz I'm a loaded gun
And I can fire at will
Believe me you don't wanna make me
Cuz your path is yours and my path is mine
So just stay out of my way

I, make no promises
If you go too far
That there won't be a cost

My mind, has been long made up
I won't act the part
I'll never be a pawn

CHORUS 2:
When the day is done
I'm gonna make my bed
So don't waste your time trying to change me
Cuz I'm a loaded gun
And I can fire at will
Believe me you don't wanna make me
Cuz your path is yours and I my path is mine
So just stay out of my way
Cuz your path is yours and I my path is mine
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

In the end, it's the choice I've made
It's the path I'd take
No matter what

CHORUS 2

Oh, what's that on the tip of your tongue
Something's clearly got your goat
Don't you tip-toe around
Open up your mouth

Say it loud, say it proud
Oooh, spit it out now

Oh, what's that on the tip of your tongue
Something's clearly got your goat
Don't you tip-toe around
Open up your mouth
You got something to say
Well, spit it out now

Don't you waste my precious time
I've had it up to here
Stop jerking me around
Get down to brass tacks
You got something to say
Well, spit it out now

Say it loud, say it proud
Oooh, spit it out now
Say it loud, say it proud
Oooh, spit it out now

Say it loud, say it proud

Oh he

The harder they come
The harder they fall
And that's how it's gonna be
If you keep coming around
I'm taking you down
I'll tell you that much for free
Mirrors are breaking
You're shaking, you're shaking
Now I know you can't take the heat
The harder they come
The harder they fall
You don't mean nothing to me

Hey, invisible man
You're invisible, man
Hey, invisible man
I have seen right through you now
Like everybody has

Yeah, you better believe it, now
You better believe it now
Yeah, you better believe it
You better believe it now

'Cos I'm talking to you
I hope to get through
And make you see where you're goin' wrong
Maybe it's time you heeded the signs
And think about what you done

Hey, invisible man
You're invisible, man
Hey, invisible man
I have seen right through you now
Like everybody has

Oh yeah, oh yeah
I can see right through you
See right through you now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I have seen right through you now

The harder they come
The harder they fall
And that's how it's gonna be
If you keep coming around
I'm taking you down
I'll tell you that much for free
Mirrors are breaking
You're shaking, you're shaking
Now I know you can't take the heat
The harder they come
The harder they fall
You don't mean nothing to me

Hey, invisible man
You're invisible, man
Hey, invisible man
I have seen right through you now
Like everybody has

Oh yeah, oh yeah
I can see right through you
See right through you now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I have seen right through you now

You got a whole lotta nerve
Now you better open up your eyes
And in case you haven't heard
Well, here's a word to the wise

Don't get on my bad side
You don't wanna find out why
Don't get on my bad side
It's a trial by fire

Oooh just try me now
Oooh
Oooh just try me now
Oooh

CHORUS:
Here's where you run
Cuz I'm a loaded gun
Don't get on my bad side
Don't get on my bad side
Don't you, don't you
Don't you, don't you no

Now listen here I ain't your friend
You're just another thorn in my side
I don't bluff, I don't pretend
And I don't like to waste my time

Don't get on my bad side
You don't wanna find out why
Don't get on my bad side
And you might make it out alive

PRE-CH
CHORUS

Oooh just try me now
Oooh
(Don't you, don't you no)

Don't get on my bad side
You don't wanna find out why
Don't get on my bad side
And you might make it out alive

With all that I have
And all that I am
I swear that I'm trying
To be a better man

Still I can't seem to see
What it is I need
If I close my eyes
Emotions blind me

I swear I'm trying to be
A better man
A better man

I've done so much wrong
And I've let you down
But that was then
And this is now

Still I can't seem to see
What it is I need
And if I close my eyes
Emotions blind me

I need you to know
That I'm going to change
I swear that I'm trying
To be a better man

But I can't seem to see
What it is I need
And if I close my eyes
Emotions blind me

But I can't seem to see
What it is I need
And if I close my eyes
Emotions blind me

I won't lie and I cannot hide the truth
I don't know where it is I'm going to now
I'm just a lost soul, chile

I'm still waiting for a sign
Before I get to the end of the line

Please have mercy on me
Please have mercy on me now

My skies are black and it always looks like rain
I was found but I know I'm lost again now
I'm just a lost soul, chile

I'm still waiting for a sign
Before I get to the end of the line

Please have mercy on me
Please have mercy on me now

I'm faithless wasted here in the dust
Screaming bleeding reeling from it all
Sometimes if you play with fire
You know you're gonna get burned

I won't lie and I cannot hide the truth
I don't know where it is I'm going to now
I'm just a lost soul, chile

I'm still waiting for a sign
Before I get to the end of the line

Please have mercy on me
Please have mercy on me now

Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me

When you walked in I could feel the heat
And it knocked me down right off my feet
I swore you were the answer to my prayers
But you just turned out to be my losing hand

My losing hand
My losing hand

I laid good money down you'd be the one
You were heaven sent and I wanted more
But my luck ran dry now I got nothing left
Just these empty pockets from my losing hand

My losing hand
My losing hand

Nothing's right and you get nothing back
When you bet on red and it comes up black
I swore you were the answer to my prayers
But you just turned out to be my losing hand

My losing hand
My losing hand
My losing hand
My losing hand

You turned out to be my losing hand
You turned out to be my losing hand
You turned out to be my losing hand
You turned out to be my losing hand
My losing hand

I'm lost in a valley
I call out
There's nobody
Lord won't you come
Lord won't you come to save me
Lord won't you come
Lord won't you come to save me

These wounds are so deep
This sentence for my deeds
Lord won't you let
Won't you let me off easy
Lord can't you see
I'm broken and bleeding

CHORUS:
Aah
I'm begging
I'm pleading
Aah
I'm bleeding

Some things
Can't be buried
Some crosses must be carried

No one else left to blame
My past has come to claim me
Lord I will beg
I will beg for salvation
Lord I will beg
I will beg for salvation

CHORUS

Lord I know I ain't worthy
Lord I know I ain't worthy
Lord I know I ain't worthy
Oh but won't you forgive me

CHORUS

I WON'T LET YOU DOWN AGAIN

I've been so foolish
I heard how you cried
Now I'm just stumbling
Along through the night
It's not the first time
It won't be the last (no, no)

I don't know
Maybe I'm wrong
But I don't think
I've felt like this before
I've broken your heart
Now ain't that the truth

But I promise I won't let you down again
Promise I won't let you down again

I'd love to see you
But I've been so blind
Now there's just darkness
Where once there was light
It's not the first time
It won't be the last (no, no)

I don't know
Maybe I'm wrong
But I don't think
I've felt like this before
I've broken your heart
Now ain't that the truth

But I promise I won't let down again
Promise I won't let you down again
Promise I won't let you down again
Promise I won't let you down

(No, no, no, no, no, oh baby
I promise I won't let you down no, no)

I've been so foolish
I heard how you cried
Now I'm just stumbling
Along through the night
It's not the first time
It won't be the last
(No, no. No no.)

I don't know
Maybe I'm wrong
But I don't think
I've felt like this before
I've broken your heart
Now ain't that the truth

But I promise I won't let you down again
Promise I won't let you down again
Promise I won't let you down again
Promise I won't let you down

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

I Can't Find A Reason Not To Leave

Lately I've been distracted
Well you know how I am
Believe me I'd like to give you more
And not turn my back on us

But I can't find a reason
No I can't find a reason
I can't find a reason not to leave

I swear that it's never easy
But then I make it so hard
Believe me I'd like to give you more
And not turn my back on us

But I can't find a reason
No I can't find a reason
I can't find a reason not to leave

You just got to let it go
You just got to let it go
You just got to let it go
You just got to let it go

You know I can't be your saviour
It ain't your fault it's mine
Believe me I'd like to give you more
And not turn my back on us

But I can't find a reason
No I can't find a reason
I can't find a reason not to leave

You just got to let it go
You just got to let it go
You just got to let it go
You just got to let it go

But I can't find a reason
No I can't find a reason not to leave

Jeepers creepers, holy cow
I can't believe what's going down
There's violence, there's bloody scenes
There's people dying on the streets

Ain't we learned nothing at all
You don't find peace by going to war

You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
With gasoline

You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
With gasoline

We may not see eye to eye
But two wrongs never made a right
And who's the real enemy
Is it them or is it we?

Ain't we learned nothing at all
You don't find peace by going to war

You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
With gasoline

You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
With gasoline

Mama mia, Jeez Louise
Can you believe what's happening?

Ain't we learned nothing at all
You don't find peace by going to war

You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
With gasoline

You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
You can't fight fire
With gasoline

What you doing to me baby?
You got me so out of my head
I been shaking I been shivering
Hanging on by a fragile thread
I can feel I'm sinking deeper
I shut my eyes and clench my fists
But it's so hard trying to fight it
When all I'm thinking about is your kiss

CHORUS:
I can't get you
I can't get you
Out of my system
I can't get you
I can't get you
Out of my system

There's an aching in my blood
And a Jonesing in my veins
I want your heroin lips on me
The feeling's just too strong to break

CHORUS

I swear someday I'm gonna quit you
'Cos you're just too hard to take
But while I got this junkie heart
Ain't nothing gonna change

CHORUS

You're giving me a feeling
My heart is on the ceiling
This is what you get
This is what you get

You started a reaction
That took only a fraction
But you're not finished yet
This is what you get

So drop your love upon me
Don't say you didn't warn me
This is what you get
This is what you get

You're giving me a fever
You've made me a believer
Got me in a sweat
This is what you get

I hear you when you're calling
I feel it when you're falling
This is what you get
This is what you get

Your love is all around me
It's like swimming in a deep sea
You got me soaking wet
This is what you get

I'd fly across the state line
International date line
This is what you get
This is what you get

You've given me the message
I've figured out the meaning
I'm still in your debt
This is what you get

I'd hitch across the highway
As the sun gives a new day
This is what you get
This is what you get

But you're giving me a feeling
I never stopped believing
This is what you get
This is what you get

I've been hiding in the shadows
I've been lying in the shade
I've been waiting for tomorrow
Tryin' to avoid the mess I've made

I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
'Cos I don't need no
I don't no more trouble

I've been waiting for the morning
So I can slip away again

I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
'Cos I don't need no
I don't no more trouble

I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
'Cos I don't need no
I don't no more trouble

I've been hiding in the shadows
I've been lying in the shade

I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
I'm gonna keep my head down
'Cos I don't need no
I don't need no more trouble
No more, no more...

I got a big mouth, talk loud
And stand by everything that I say
If I just get up you'll end up
Played just like a penny arcade

Cause I don't compromise
I got no time for piss poor
So best start standing aside
Because I'm running the floor

And take your tired lines outside
Stand by me you'll look like a bore

CHORUS
Cause I just broke all your rules
And I won't suffer no fools
Ain't got time for no fools

It's time to nut up, show up
Guess what? Your day has arrived
Watch as I take aim, make claim
Sacrifice you into my fire
I'll get a hero's parade
They'll chant me up to the stage
I'll conquer you like the plague
There ain't a thing you can say

Put on your headphones, head home
Your momma wants you back by her side

CHORUS
Cause I just broke all your rules
And I won't suffer no fools
I can do this all day
And I'm still getting paid

Ain't got no time for no fools
I ain't got no time for no fools
I ain't got no time for no fools
I ain't got no time for no fools

No no no no

Cause I just broke all your rules
And I won't suffer no fools
Ain't got no time for no fools
I ain't got no time for no fools
I ain't got no time for no fools
I ain't got no time for no fools

No!

Well now I got a feeling
I've had before
Maybe you've had enough
But you'll be back for more
You'll be back for more
Yes you will

You see now I've got the honey
And you love the taste
You may deny it
But you can't stay away
You can't stay away, oh no

Maybe we're going nowhere
But now nowhere is all we got
Maybe we're going nowhere
But now nowhere is all we got

Well now I've seen you kneeling
Out in the shade
Hoping that someday
The wind might change
The wind might change, oh yeah
You see now you may be waiting
For the dawn to break
But you can't disappear without a trace
Without a trace, oh no

Maybe we're going nowhere
But now nowhere is all we got
Maybe we're going nowhere
But now nowhere is all we got

But you know I got the honey
And you love the taste
You may deny it
But you can't stay away
You can't stay away, oh no

Maybe we're going nowhere
But now nowhere is all we got
Maybe we're going nowhere
But now nowhere is all we got

When he walks in a room
People turn their heads
Lookin' like he own the place one look and you wont forget
He seems bigger than life
And you don't know what to think
Watch him strut across the floor givin' everyone a wink

CHORUS:
He's a Big Shot
Throwing money around like its no big deal
Man what a life... what a life
He's a Big Shot
When he rolls the dice lucky seven's pop up
Yeah he's a Big Shot

Got a girl on each arm
One lights his cigarettes
And the other holds his drinks while he lays money down 't bet
He knows who he is
And he knows who he ain't
Holds the world in his hands no he never has no complaints

He's a Big Shot
Throwing money around like its no big deal
Man what a life... what a life
He's a Big Shot
When he rolls the dice lucky seven's pop up
Yeah he's a Big Shot

VERSE 1
You know, I'm feelin' lucky
Made it by a hair
Things could've been so bad
I was accused
Had a narrow escape
Alibi was ironclad

PRE CHORUS 1
Made it out alive
But I could hardly breath

CHORUS 1
By the skin of your teeth
Somehow I made it
By the skin of your teeth
That's how I played it

VERSE 2
I was climbing a mountain
Got off the trail
Couldn't find my way back
Went through a valley
I thought I'd die
Had to deal with that

PRE CHORUS 2
I want to give up
Then I broke free

CHORUS 2
By the skin of your teeth
By hook or by crook
By the skin of your teeth
No matter how bad it looked

CHORUS - END

I'm Gonna Get While the Going Is Good

VERSE 1
I've got the strangest feeling
I've been here before
And I know that trouble's coming
To kick down my door

CHORUS
So I'm gonna get while the goin' is good
I'm gonna get while the goin' is good
I don't want to run but I know I should
I'm gonna get while the goin' is good

VERSE 2
I've spent a lifetime living
Outside the law
And now they coming after me
For what I've done

CHORUS
So I'm gonna get while the goin' is good
I'm gonna get while the goin' is good
I don't want to run but I know I should
I'm gonna get while the goin' is good

BRIDGE
I hear the whistles blowin'
On down the line
They're closing in on me
But I still got time

I hear the bloodhounds barking
I feel the heat
I hate to say goodbye
But I gotta leave

CHORUS
So I'm gonna get while the goin' is good
I'm gonna get while the goin' is good
I don't want to run but I know I should
I'm gonna get while the goin' is good

I gotta get while the goin' is good
I gotta get while the goin' is good
I don't want to run but I know I should
I gotta get while the goin' is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stand your ground 'neath the waterfall
Head held high here to take it all
Bring it on bring it on bring it on
Hold on tight never let go
Feels so right gonna steal the show
Bring it on bring it on bring it on

Drown me in tears
Reduce me to dust
I'll still reappear
I'm going for bust

Got a million or 2 reasons to keep it up
It's thrillin to see me lean in when I'm hanging tough
Count me out you'll wish you hadn't had that doubt
So better luck better luck better luck next time

CHORUS:
Crack the world open look inside of it
I'll be standing there
When everyone else has finally been defeated
I'm the one you want cause I'll still be standing here

So race past the dawn
Or slow to a crawl
Just tell me the plan
I'll capture em' all

Draw a line in the dirt it won't be there for long
There's too much girt in my shirt to be pushed to the ground
I've waited too long to hold back or wait it out so
Get along get along get along this time

CHORUS

Call me up if you want a revolution
I think it's loud and clear
When everyone else has finally been defeated
I'm the one you want cause I'll still be standing here

CHORUS

Had to run, yeah get outta town
Cross the border a desperate man
Had to find a place I could hide
That an outlaw understands

Some dirty business back in the states
Had me runnin' straight through hell's gate

Way Down South
Where the devil gets his due
Way Down South
Where a man must face the truth
Talkin' 'bout Way Down South

Didn't mean to do what I did
But I did it anyway
Had to run fast as I could run
Lord I knew I couldn't stay

All that dirty business back in the states
Had me runnin' straight to my fate

Way Down South
Where the devil gets his due
Way Down South
Where a man must face the truth
Talkin' 'bout Way Down South

The day the law finally let me out
I headed right back way down south...

Way Down South
Where the devil gets his due
Way Down South
Where a man must face the truth
Talkin' 'bout Way Down South
