Mondo Bizarro

CENSORSHIT (Joey Ramone) (3:13)

Tipper, what's that sticker sticking on my CD?
Is that some kind of warning to protect me?
Freedom of choice needs a stronger, stronger voice
You can stamp out the source
But you can't stop creative thoughts

Ah, tipper come on
Ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me
We'll show you what it's like to be free

Ah, tipper come on
It's just a smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment

Hey, hey all you, all you senators wives
Better take a good look at your own lives
Before you go preaching to me
Your definition of obscenity

The irony it seems, it seems to me
It's un-american policy
Yeah, we've come so far but still only to find
People like you with ignorant minds

THE JOB THAT ATE MY BRAIN (Marky Ramone/Skinny Bones) (2:17)

Out of bed at 6:15
In a rush, I need caffeine
Gotta catch the bus and train
I'm in a rush and feelin' insane

I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Go to work, it's such a drag
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie
I look so lame I wanna die

I punch the clock at 9:05
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me
I'm last in line for prosperity

Five o'clock rolls around
I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enough hours in the day
There's go to be a better way

POISON HEART (Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey) (4:04)

Oh, no one ever thought this one would survive
Helpless child gonna walk a drum beat behind

Lock you in a dream, never let you go
Never let you laugh or smile, not you

I just want to walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart

Making friends with a homeless torn up man
He just kind of smile, it really shakes me up

There's danger on every corner, but I'm okay
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday

You know that life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction
Is to search his very soul

So much damn confusion before my eyes
But nothing seems to phase me
And this one still survives

ANXIETY (Marky Ramone/Skinny Bones) (2:04)

Anxiety, anxiety keeps me happy

Always stiff, all day long
Nothing's right till it's all wrong
It makes no sense until I'm tense
Always laughing at your expense

Always biting on my nails
Always stiff, it never fails
Now I think I'll pick my nose
Wipe it on my sweaty clothes

Always screamin' at someone
Got a temper like a gun
Hair trigger personality
Anxiety keeps me hap-happy

And I'm crazy, crazy, crazy
In a crazy world

A-N-X-I-E-T-Y

Anxiety keeps me high
Cross my heart and hope to die
Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety

STRENGTH TO ENDURE (Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey) (2:59)

Walking through a cross fire heart
Feeling heavy and hopeless
And wonderin' how I ever will
See through this darkness

Every drop of blood can
Be so beautiful
And I sure was bleedin' the drops
By the bucketful

I have the strength to endure
And all the love so pure
I have the strength to endure
Because...because...

I'm not afraid to tell her
Just how things work
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane
Always looking over my shoulder

She said "there's something about you
And neon lights always glow hot
Baby, we can see this through
Just give me all the strength you've got"

IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT (Joey Ramone/Andy Shernoff) (3:20)

To our fans far and near
We're so glad you could all be here

And when life get oh-oh-so hard
You make it all worthwhile
Screaming, shouting, wham-slam-bam
That wild headbanging style

This is dedicated to our fans across the world
You're the best, most loyalist, and that's for sure

When life gets oh-so frustrating
You make it all worthwhile
Gonna have some fun tonight
Ain't it great to be alive

It's gonna be OK
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be and you're the only ones who understand

Got good feelings about this year
All is very well, C.J. is here
'92 spells more fun, let's get into gear
It's the year of the monkey, gonna be real funky
Buy yourself a beer

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be OK, yeah, yeah
It's gonna be alright, uh, huh
It's gonna be and you're the only ones who understand

Who understand

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be OK
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

TAKE IT AS IT COMES (Jim Morrison/John Densmore/Robby Krieger/Ray Manzarek) (2:07)

Time to live, time to lie
Time to laugh, time to lie

Take it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
If you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast

Time to walk, time to run
Time to aim your arrows at the sun

Go real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun

Movin' much too fast

MAIN MAN (Dee Dee Ramone/Daniel Rey) (3:29)

When I start movin', you see a blur
Get hooked on me baby, there ain't no cure
I've always been able to laugh at fate
Two brown eyes filled with hate

I'm the man who makes the street his home
And my lean mean heart is just as hard as stone

Oh, I'm my main man
Don't want nothing from no one
I'm my main man
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen

Spend my time in a cold jail cell
Shootin' up poison and livin' in hell
And I never care what people think
My history's written on me in tattooed ink
And still life goes on tracks on my arms
And the number thirteen is my good luck charm

What happens to me is my own affair
If you don't like me, I really don't care
'Cause no one's been what I've been through
And I don't do what people want me to do
I'll fight you till the bitter end
And then I'll screw your little girl friend

TOMORROW SHE GOES AWAY (Joey Ramone/Daniel Rey) (2:41)

Infatuation, she's a fatal attraction
Hang around, screw up my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

Danger's intriguing, but I don't want to die
Got to leave this psycho behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN (Joey Ramone/Andy Shernoff) (2:22)

Got my sights, baby, set on you
The things she said, well, maybe they're true

But it's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen
Not again

Easy come, easy go, easily
But that's not how I want it to be

It's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen
Not again

Sitting all alone by the telephone
When are you coming home
When are you coming home

And it's not gonna happen
I won't let it happen
I won't let it happen
Not again

Not again

CABBIES ON CRACK (Joey Ramone) (3:01)

Got into a cab, Broadway 59
Took off like a blast
Almost lost my mind - oh, oh

Cabbies on crack

It first felt like at thrill ride
Excited for a while
Got pretty scary swerving at 100 miles an hour - oh, oh

I want to get out, out of this yellow shell
I want to get out, crack cabbies straight from hell

And I don't wanna die before I live
Cabbies on
Cabbies on crack

Cabbies on crack
Want my money back
Disco blasting out, Stomach in my mouth - oh, oh

Times Square was approaching
He braked for the light
At 90 miles an hour, flashed by, I saw my life - oh, oh

HEIDI IS A HEADCASE (Joey Ramone/Daniel Rey) (2:57)

Headcase baby
She's a cool kind of crazy
Wild and she's willing
Into early Dylan

She drives me crazy, oh yeah

When I look into her big brown eyes
I'm so glad to know she's mine
My little headcase, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, my little headcase, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah

Heidi is a headcase, a rebel and a rouser
Cranks up her Rickenbacker
Blasts away for hours
What's she doin' now on the escalator
Snorting up some speed on the picture of St. Peters or Stiv Bators

What 'cha doin'?

Ooh, baby baby, whatever you do now
Don't ever go away

Ooh, baby baby, whatever you do now Don't you ever go astray

Don't you ever go away - ooh, ooh, yea

Heidi is a headcase

TOURING (Joey Ramone) (2:51)

Well, we've been to London and we've been to L.A.
Spain, New Zealand, and the U.S.A.
Europe, Japan, and Pango-Pango
Canada, Siam, Oz and Kamoto

The kids all come from miles around
The party gets started when the sun goes down
And Holiday Inn's the only home I know

Rock-n-roll's alive 'cause we got the power baby
Crusing down the highway at 500 miles an hour baby

We got a fuel-injected tour bus, man it really flies
With a video tape deck inside

Let's go, rock-n-roll, everybody come-along
Let's go, rock-n-roll, everybody come-along

Touring, touring, is never boring
Touring, touring, is never boring
Touring, touring, is never boring
Touring, touring, oh baby, touring
Especially with your favorite girl
Touring, touring, all around the world

Well we've been around this great big world
And we've met all kinds of guys and girls
From Kamoto Islands to Rockaway Beach
No, it's not hard, not far to reach

American girls knock me out, you know
Fast cars, cold beer, and rock 'n' roll
America is the only home I know

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
500 miles to Mexico
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
200 miles to Tokyo

Drive, drive, drive the night away
Straight on through to the break of day
Drive, drive, drive the night away
Well, it's in your blood, it's in your blood

Touring, touring
All around the world
