1. Hello Hooray

Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin

I've been ready
Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim
I've been ready
Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream
Loving every second, every moment, every scream

I've been waiting so long to sing my song

I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one

Roll out! Roll out your American dream and its rescuits
I've been ready
Roll out! Roll out your circus freaks and hula hoops
I've been ready
Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream
Loving every second, every movement, every scream

I've been waiting so long to sing my song

I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one

I can stand here strong and thin

I can laugh when this thing begins

God, I feel so strong

I feel so strong
 I'm so strong
I feel so strong
So strong
God, I feel so strong
I'm so strong

2. Raped And Freezing

Finally got a ride, some old broad down from Santa Fe

She was a real go-getter
She drawled so sweetly,
"I think, child, that things'll get better"

We pulled off the highway,

night black as a widow
Hey, I think I've got a live one
"Yes, I read the Bible", she said,
"I wanna know of you"

Hey, I think I've got a live one, Yeah, Yeah

I think I've got a live one *2

Felt like I was hit by a dieselor a greyhound bus

She was no baby-sitter
"Get up, sugar, never thought you'd be a quitter"

I opened the back door, she was greedy

I ran through the desert, she was chasing
No time to get dressed, so I was naked,
stranded in Chihuahua

Hey, I think I've got a live one, Yeah, Yeah

I think I've got a live one *2

Alone raped and freezing

Alone cold and sneezing
Alone down in Mexico
Alone

3. Elected

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice

 I wanna be elected
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce
I wanna be elected
Kids want a savior, don't need a fake
I wanna be elected
We're gonna rock to the rules that I make
I wanna be elected, elected, elected

I never lied to you, I've always been cool

I wanna be elected
I gotta get the vote, and I told you about school
I wanna be elected, elected, elected

Hallelujah, I wanna be elected

Everyone in the United States of America
We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
We're gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected

4. Billion Dollar Babies

Billion dollar baby

Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel
Grimy as an alley
Loves me like no other lover

Billion dollar baby

Rubber little monster, baby, I adore you
Man or woman living couldn't love me like you, baby

We go dancing nighty in the attic

While the moon is rising in the sky
If I'm too rough, tell me
I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands

Billion dollar baby

I got you in the dimestore
No other little girl could everhold you
Any tighter, any tighter than me, bay
Billion dollar baby
 Reckless like a gambler, million dollar maybe
Foaming like a dog that's been infected by the rabies

We go dancing nighty in the attic

While the moon is rising the sky
If I'm too rough, tell me
I'm so scared your little head will come off in my hands

Million dollar baby

Billion dollar bay
Trillion dollar baby
Zillion dollar baby

5. Unfinished Sweet

Candy everywhere, got chocolate in my hair

Aching to get me
Stickly sweet suckers in the Halloween air
Aching to get me
Saint Vitus dance on my morals tonight
Aching to get me
Aching to get me, get me oh...

Take it to the doc, I guess he ought to know

La, la, la, da
Which ones can stay, which one gotta go
He looks in my mouth and then he starts to gloat
He says me teeth are O.K.
But my gums got to go
Oh oh...

I come off the gas but I'm still seeing spies

Aching to get me
I can see them all through a glassy pair of eyes
Aching to get me
De Sade's gonna live in my mouth tonight
La, da, da, da, da
And the rotten tooth fairy is satisfied
La, da, da, da, da
Aching to get me, get me oh...

6. No More Mister Nice Guy

 I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
Until they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
and I'm getting shot down
And I'm feeling mean

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers

They can't be seen with me
and I'm getting shot down
And I'm getting mean

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

My dog bit me on leg today

My cat clawled my eye
My mom's been thrown out of society circle
My dad's had to hide
I went to church incognito
When everybody rose, the Reserved Smith
He recognized me
Punched me in the nose

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean
No more Mister Nice Guy
They say he's sick, he's obscene

7. Generation Landslide

Please clean your plate, dear, The lord above can see ya
Don't you know people are starving in Korea?
 Alcohol and razorblades and poison and needles
Kindergarten people, they used 'em they need 'em
The over- indulgent machines were their children
There wasn't a way down on earth here to cool 'em
'Cause they looked just like humans at Kresges and Woolworth
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in battalions were ruling the streets saying
"Generation Landslide close the gap between 'em"
And i laugh to myself every man and the ladies
Who never could see those billions dollar babies

Militant mothers, hiding in the basement

Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high-chairs
While mothers limp burned, with certificate papers
Dad gets allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's pubic to the world, but involved in high finance
Sister's out 'til five doing banker's son's hours
But she owns a Maserati, that's a gift from his father
Stop at full speed at one hundred miles per hour
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em
And I laugh to myself every man and the ladies
Who never could see those billion dollar babies

8. Sick Things

Sick things in cars rotate around my stars

Sick things, my things, my pets, my things

I love you things

, I see as much as you love me,
you things are heavently when you come worship me
You things are chilled with fright for I am out tonight
You tell me where to bite, you whet my appetite

I eat my things
What love it brings
Come here, my things
Don't fear my little things

I love you things

, I see as much as you love me,
you things are heavently when you come worship me
 You things are chilled with fright for I am out tonight
You tell me where to bite, you whet my appetite

Sick things in cartridge tapes my stars

Sick things, play things, pretty things, pretty things, my things

I love you things

, I see as much as you love me,
you things are heavently when you come worship me
You things are chilled with fright for I am out tonight
You tell me where to bite, you whet my appetite

9. Mary-Ann

Mary-Ann, I'm really crazy about you, deed I am

I just can't live without you, Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann
Mary-Ann
My life was built around you
Stars and sand,
your eyes were pools of laughter, Mary-Ann
I thought you were my man

10. I Love The Dead

I love the dead before they're cold

They're bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing

I love the dead before they rise

No farewells, no goodbyes
I never knew your rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, Darling

We love the dead

We love the dead, Yeah
