Rockin' In The Free World
There are colors on the street...red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forgive 'em, any way I can, yeah...

I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
Under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can
Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done with it
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool 

Keep on rockin' in the free world  (3x)

( The US of A, the United States                               )
( Ain't a free place, it's not a free place                    )
( Ain't got the right to choose, barely got the right to vote  )
( There they got the right to make an honest buck              )

( The USA ain't a free, free place                             )

There's a thousand points of light for the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world  (4x)

Ruby Tuesday
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you smile with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Saying No!
He says to her he wants it easy
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no, but she says no, I don't want to
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy...

But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop    } (3x)
When he says go, you still gotta stop }

He wants it, he wants it
So badly he wants, he wants it
But she says no, she says no
She says, 'go to hell if that's all you want me for', she says no...

When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah...

She did nothing to deserve it
He just wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He does nothin' to remove it
He's just as hurt `cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us...

Sheraton Gibson
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson palying my Gibson...
And boy, do I want to go home...
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And boy, do I feel all alone...

Cleveland, ho!  Eveil on my mind...
Cleveland, ho!  I wish I was home this time... 
Don't want to be unkind...

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And thinking about a Sunday barbecue...
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
In my mind is a cleveland afternoon...

Cleveland, ho!  Eveil on my mind...
Cleveland, ho!  I wish I was home this time... 
Don't want to be unkind...

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson...
And boy, do I want to go home...

Sick o' Pussies
My body's nodbody's body but mine...you run your body, let me run mine... (4x)
If there's one thing I got, it's that this body's mine...

Steppin' Stone (I'm Not Your)
I'm not your steppin' stone...  (2x)

You're trying to make your mark in society
You're using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The cloths you're wearing, girl, are causing public scenes, I said a...

Not your steppin' stone...  (2x)

When I first met you girl, you didn't have no shoes
But now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of the who's whose, I said a...
Stuff And Nonsense
You know that I love you
And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I don't know about the future...

And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I don't know about the future...  (2x)

And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I don't know about the future...
Do you know about the future?

And you know that I love you
Here and now, not forever
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense
It's all stuff and nonsense, nonsense...
All stuff and nonsense, nonssense, nonsense, nonsense...
Yeah...  (3x)

Suck You Dry
There's no time like the present...  (2x)
There's no time like the present, to get ripped apart...
Got this burinin' desire, coming strait from my heart...
I...
Suck you dry...  (2x)
I can't breathe 'till I
Suck you dry...  (3x)
I can't breathe 'till I
Suck you dry...

Suggestion
Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion?  (2x)

She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us

He just wants, he wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
Play the role that they've assigned us

She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there

Sympathy For The Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and face

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hand and sealed his fate
