Babes In Arms lyrics

Screechin' useless martyrs hangin naked upon the cross They would have you believe the lie they shriek that all is lost Forget their logical desperation, utilize your imagination The future's here right now if you're willing to pay the cost The power crazy leaders who control your very fate They would twist your will, steal your life and sell your soul away If you're drifting or wandering lost, yo

Teachers, parents and politicians
They ridicule my wild ambitions
They say, "settle down son, live decently,
Or you'll rot in jail before your 23!"
They don't know their stuck in the past
Can't stop me now 'cause I'm movin' too fast

Presidents, priests and old ladies too
They'll swear on the Bible
what's best for you
Atom bombs, Vietnam, missiles on the moon

When it happened
something snapped inside
made me want to hide
all alone on my own
all alone on my own
I stood up on the stand
with my eyes shut tight
didn´t want to see anbody
feeling happy
having a good time, now hey
doing alright doing alright,
doing alright doing alright

Looked hard into the dancing crowd
felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing in there

I-- Don't See How You Survive, Yeah,
Bein' One Of The Guys
Bein' One Of The Guys

You Tell Me 'bout Your Good Times
Fistfights And Stuff Like That
Screamin' Tires, Throwin' Beer Cans
You Tell Me That's Where It's At
You Goin' Down To The Drive-In Boy
Just To Start Trouble There
Your Diggin' Stones And The Beatles Too
But You Put Down Long Hair

I-- Don't See How You Survive, Yeah

The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But i ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That i learned in France
And they think there ain't
nothin' to know
Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But i got free
Copped a plea
And i can see
That there ain't no freedom
bell gonna chime
This time

Truth and love
are my law and worship
Form and conscience

Little Orphan Annie and Sweet Sue too / They've been coming around / Gives 'em somethin' to do / Their mamas all warned 'em not to come to town / It got into their blood / Now they gonna get down / Shakin' street it's got that beat / shakin' street where all the kids meet / Shakin' street it's got that sound / Shakin' street say you gotta get down / Streetlight Sammy decided to make the trip / All

Sister Anne don't give a damn about evolution
She's a liberated woman, she's got her solution
Like a dinosaur, she's going off the wall
She's gonna make it her own crusade
She's got a heart of gold, gonna save a bitch's soul
From goin' down Satan's hot way
She can I know she can
I know she can
She's my Sister Anne

Such truth, such beauty, such purity
She wears a halo around her head

A punch to get it [?], tryin' to get it / To do what I wanted to do / I cried and scream when I saw my dream / It was dancin' all around the room / Follow baby, save my soul / I just couldn't wait for you / Energy, energy, greatest drink [?] / And I knew what I had to do / Baby baby that's no lie / Baby baby don't ask me why

First Verse
Sittin’ In The Classroom
Feel Your Heart Goin’ Boom
You Start To Get The Feelin’
And Your Head Begins To Reelin’
And Ya Can’t Hear What The Teachers Say
Because The News Is Going Down
About The Rock And Roll Dance In Town
And You Know I Just Gotta Hear That Band Play

Chorus
Tonight X 6, Oh Tonight

Second Verse

A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam
Tutti frutti, oh rutti, tutti frutti, oh rutti
Tutti frutti, oh rutti, tutti frutti, oh rutti
Tutti frutti, oh rutti
A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam bam

I got a girl named Daisy She almost drives me crazy
Got a girl named Daisy She almost drives me crazy
She knows how to love me, yes indeed
Boy, you don't know what she's doin' to me
