"I'm virile, I'm vicious, I can be malicious.
You're bitter and nasty and me, I'm delicious.
But to me you're just a little man,
Who thinks he's got the whole world in his hands.
(Alright!)
I'm slim, you're shady, I'm real and you're a phony.
I'm me, you're crazy, I'm Bruce and you're...
(Ha!)
"I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
(Hahaha!)
(You got something to say?)
(I didn't think so!)
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya.
I'mma gonna get ya, I'mma comin' for ya.
You cross my path and I'mma swingin' for ya."

You Got Nothin' On Me
03:13
|

"Take your insanity & put it in jail coz you are nothin' and you'll always fail.
Don't think you won because you lose, when toe to toe with me your ego will bruise.
You fall in love with what you can't get, try to take it but your memory we forget.
Because you're a failure at all you do and all that you think you love will leave you!
You got nothin' on me son.
Not a single God damn thing!
I said you got nothin' on me son,
Not even the best that you can bring.
When you are gone who will really care?
You leave behind no good from being there.
So take the bottle and grab the gun, do us all a favor would you son?
You got nothin' on me son.
Not a single God damn thing!
I said you got nothin' on me son,
Not even the best that you can bring.
Try standing tall, you'll always come short.
When I stand there, you'll always come short.
You got nothin' on me son.
Not a single God damn thing!
I said you got nothin' on me son,
Not even the best that you can bring.
I said you got nothin' on me son.
Not a single God damn thing!
I said you got nothin' on me son,
Not even the best that you can bring.
You might think that you got something,
You might think you got everything!
You might think you're better, smarter, stronger...
But you're nothin', you don't have the golden touch, you don't have what I have... bitch!"

Chelsea River
04:35
|
|
||
"There's a place that you can go.
Where the waters run riot in it's ebb & flow.
It'll tell you things in it's soothing sound.
But it can pull you in and turn you around.
The sirens are talkin' & speaking' their lies.
The sirens lie waitin' to catch you like flies.
The sirens want to bring you into their domain,
The sirens don't care who they cause pain.
La Llorona or Maria are nothin' to Chelsea River.
What you hear is what you want in a whisper.
It'll never help you and just cause you pain.
But you can't swim away when it's in your brain.
The sirens are talkin' & speaking' their lies.
The sirens lie waitin' to catch you like flies.
The sirens want to bring you into their domain,
The sirens don't care who they cause pain.
Chelsea River will drag you down, down, down, down.
Chelsea River will drag you down.
Chelsea River will drag you down, down, down, down.
Chelsea River will drag you down.
The sirens are talkin' & speaking' their lies.
The sirens lie waitin' to catch you like flies.
The sirens want to bring you into their domain,
The sirens don't care who they cause pain.
Chelsea River will drag you down, down, down, down.
Chelsea River will drag you down.
Chelsea River will drag you down, down, down, down.
Chelsea River will drag you... down!"

California Sun
04:36
|

"California sun can't bleach away the stain that I have.
Crows overhead, singin' their lament it makes me mad.
In the California sun, the California sun I just burn.
Clinging to our raft, holding on for dear life through the storm.
Walls closing in as the world round us spins in the storm.
In the California sun, California sun I just burn.
In the California sun, the California sun I'll never learn.
The California sun, California sun I just burn.
California sun beats down from overhead, down on me.
Waves crashing in as the rip tide pulls me out, out to sea."

Fight For Me
03:11
|
|

"All my life I've learned how to fight,
I've seen love come & go & lose it's light.
But there's always been one thing that I knew,
It was that in good time I'd find a love that's true.
Won't somebody fight for me?
I can't keep fighting this world on my own.
Won't somebody fight for me?
I'm swingin' in the dark, hittin' space on my own.
So fight like a mother,
But fight like a wife,
Take me away from this darkness guide me to a... light.
Over the years I learned just how to live,
Like a tin foil knight with paper roses to give.
But really I'm in need of that sweet tender touch,
From the one who can make me feel so so much.
Won't somebody fight for me?
I can't keep fighting this world on my own.
Won't somebody fight for me?
I'm swingin' in the dark, hittin' space on my own.
So fight like a mother,
But fight like a wife,
Take me away from this darkness guide me to a... light.
So fight like a mother,
But fight like a wife,
Take me away from this darkness guide me to a... light.
Old man time has tried to break me down,
Chiseled my smile more into a frown.
But I'm still here, better every day,
So I sing to you & here's what I say.
Won't somebody fight for me?
I can't keep fighting this world on my own.
Won't somebody fight for me?
I'm swingin' in the dark, hittin' space on my own.
So fight like a mother,
But fight like a wife,
Take me away from this darkness guide me to a...
Guide me into..."

Don't Listen To Maria
01:57
|
|
||
"Out of the blue she'll come for you,
With words of hope that just aren't true.
So don't listen to Maria coz you know you'll never see her.
She tells you what you wanna hear so don't listen to Maria.
Just like that she'll be gone,
A whisper in the air not on the phone.
So don't listen to Maria coz you know you'll never see her.
She tells you what you wanna hear so don't listen to Maria.
If you fall for her then you're the fool,
Maria wasn't there and you just got schooled.
So don't listen to Maria coz you know you'll never see her.
She tells you what you wanna hear so don't listen to Maria.
Don't listen to Maria coz you know you'll never see her.
She tells you what you wanna hear so don't listen to Maria."

No Name Son Of A Bitch

"You're a no name son of a bitch,
You're a no name son of a bitch.
The son of a fuckin' witch!
You're the no name son of a bitch!
You're a no name son of a bitch,
You're a no name son of a bitch.
The son of a fuckin' witch!
You're the no name son of a bitch!
You're a no name son of a bitch,
You're a no name son of a bitch."

"You'll live in the shadows of my forgotten memories,
A place where my demons run, searchin' out my enemies.
Lost in the fog of the nightmares I created,
A place just for you, a place for the wasted.
Said run, run as fast you can,
I can catch you coz I'm the man!
I said run, run as fast as you can,
I can catch you coz I'm the man!
I live in the light of the day that's today,
A place that's real & truth is what I say.
Strong in who I am & what I can do,
Which is a hell of a lot more than a "man" like you!
Said run, run as fast you can,
I can catch you coz I'm the man!
I said run, run as fast as you can,
I can catch you coz...
I'm the fox!
That you fear in the night.
I'm the fox!
That follows you through your plight.
I'm the fox!
That wants to see you try and defend.
I'm the fox!
That will devour you in the end!
You'll live in the shadows.
You'll live in the shadows.
You'll live in the shadows.
You'll live in the shadows."
