1. It's Not So Funny

Walking 'round the town with nothing to do
Rock-n-roll ringin' in my ears
Why ajust my mind, just singin' the blues
Got to find a way out of here

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got no money to do what I want
Somethin's got to set me free

You say when you grow up you'll have what you want
And everything that you need
What is the use of having it all
If you listen and never be seen

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got the money to do what I want
Somethin's got to set me free

If I could suddenly be older
I'd show them all and bring them down to my size

My parents tell me you're not the only one
There's a lot of kids around like you
If all of us kids got together for fun
We'd show you a thing or two

No no no

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got no money to do what I want
Somethin's got to set me free

It's not so funny
Just a kid, nobody listens to me
Ain't got no money to do what I want
Somethin's got to set me free

It's not so funny
I ain't got no money
It's not so funny
I ain't got no money
It's not so funny

2. Mama's Little Angels

When mommy's around we're the cutest little darlings, polite...
We're squeaky clean
We do the chores in the house, as quiet as a mouse
Better kids you've never seen

Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels

As soon as mom leaves for work
Out come the paint cans, start to spray it on the wall
That's getting boring
Go get the bats
Gonna have us some indoor ball

Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels

Well, Randy's up to bat.
Gonna hit me a home run

Sorry 'bout that
Outside, ball one

We lost our ball, let's have some fun with the dishes
Oops, we ain't doin' too well
When mommy gets home, she won't blame it on us
She knows that we're really swell

Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels

Yes we are mama's little angels
Yes we are mama's little angels
You know we are mama's little angels

3. Tin Soldier

I'm... a little tin soldier that wants to jump into the fight
Yes you, your a look in your eye, a dream passing by in the sky

Now I don't understand
But all I need is treat me like a man
'Cause I ain't got no child, take me like I am

I've got to know I'm in love with you
Do anything that you want me to
Sing any song that you want me to
Sing it to you

All I need, is your whispered "hello", smiles melting from your window
Your eyes, are deeper than time, sailing on that with the breeze

So now I've lost my way
I need her to show me things to say
Give me your love, before love fades away

I've got to know I'm in love with you
Do anything that you want me to
Sing any song that you want me to
Sing it to you

I don't need no... compensation
And I just got to beg you, listen
I just got to beg you

I've got to know I'm in love with you
Do anything that you want me to
Sing any song that you want me to
Sing it to you (watch out)

I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
All I've gotta to do is stay next to you
Some reaction
A little bit of satisfaction
All I'm gonna do is get next to you

I've got to know I'm in love with you
Do anything that you want me to
Sing any song that you want me to
Sing it to you

I've got to know I'm in love with you (yes I am)
Do anything that you want me to (I'm gonna sing her a song)
Sing any song that you want me to (right on ta you)
Sing it to you (Yeah yeah)

I've got to know I'm in love with you (yes I do)
Do anything that you want me to
Sing any song that you want me to
Sing it to you

4. Ravers

Well, we're the ravers, we just want to come out and play
If you try to keep us down, you better get out of our way
If you don't know by now, I'm tellin' you we're here to stay

We're a super-charged machine like a rock-mobile
Our pistons are poppin' right under your wheels

We're the ravers, oh yeah
The ravers (ahh, yeah yeah yeah)
The ravers, look out

They say we're brats with no manners or pride
Our reputation's spreadin' far and wide
A bottle of gin is all we need tonight
A hell-raisin' night
Start to shake, oh yeah

We're a super-charged machine like a rock-mobile
Our pistons are poppin' right under your wheels

We're the ravers, oh yeah
The ravers (yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
The ravers, watch out

We're givin' you the rest, gonna give it to you 'n' you
Look out baby, or we'll get you too
We go anyway, way we choose
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere, we wanted too
Here we go

We're the ravers
The ravers
The ravers (oh yeah)

Well we're a super-charged machine like a rock-mobile
Our pistons are poppin' right under your wheels

The ravers come on down
We're here to stay!

8. Look In Any Window

You'd better beware
He'll catch you when you're unaware
Look out, he's gonna stare
Catch him, he won't care

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He's gonna look in any window
It's a visual attack

He's sly and he's sneaky
He's craving for sin
Open up your window
Go on and let him in-(yeah yeah yeah)

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He's gonna look in any window
It's a visual attack, that's what it is

What a desire
His mind is on fire
He sweats and he pants
The love he can't have

Look in any window
Hold yourself back
He's gonna look in any window
It's a visual attack (that's what it is, yeah... hahahahaha)

9. Just How You Want It

I know just how you want it
Here goes, just how you need it
I know just how to give it

You say you love me, yes you do
I believe it, 'cause I can see it
When you hold me, a feelin' inside
You're givin' and I'm takin'

I'm there just when you want me
You know I'll never leave you
Happens every time I see you

You got my lovin' in your hands
Don't shake it, don't break it
I love you so much, don't you know
Love thinkin', start dreamin'

I know just how you want it
Here goes, just how you need it
I know just how to give it
I know I know I know (listen)

What you got is what I need
I need your love, can't you see
What you got is up my sleeve
I won't ever make you plead
Here I stand, on the ground
Your love baby, is what I've found

You say you love me, yes you do
I believe it, 'cause I can see it
When you hold me, a feelin' inside
You're givin' and I'm takin'

I know just how you want it
Here goes, just how you need it
I know just how you want it
I know I know I know I know...
I know
