I said what do you do?

You ain't wearin' a tie,you ain't got a jacket

You can't come in 'cos you're in the wrong bracket

You can shove it

VIPs and royalty get treated like they're special see

But the trick is there for all to see

They're people just like you and me

You can shove it

Girls - we love it

Cars - we love it

More girls - we love it

Late night bars - we love it

Pool - we love it

School - fantasy

What do you do?

You can shove it

You gotta talk,act and dress right

If you ain't got money,they treat ya funny

When they say the class system's dead

If you think that's true better get a new head

You can shove it

You can shove it

You can shove it

Girls - we love it

Cars - we love it

More girls - we love it

Late night bars - we love it

Pool - we love it

School - shove it

What do you do?

Shove it

You can shove it

So why do people scrape and fuss

When everyman's the same as us

It's a joke on all humanity

It's privilege

And we don't need it

War - shove it

Hate - shove it

Politicians - don't cut it

Blind dates - shove it

Girls school - we love it

Crazy rules - shove it

What do you do?

You can shove it

You can shove it

Shove it

Shove it

Well the long fast dance of progress

And the long slow waltz of decay

Made such a natural born couple

They settled down right here in the USA

Dream home for two in the USA

Hot jazz,cool blues,we got country

We get rock and roll all day

Like to dance,come on down get funky

That's the way,that's the way

That's the way,hey hey,in the USA

There's still cowboys and indians (indians) at home on the range

But the cowboys and indians have changed - they've changed

Cowboys and indians have changed

We've got James Dean on the silver screen

We've got James Brown he won't let you down

Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll

We got preacher men who want to save your soul

Got the motorcity with the Motown beat

Get hip to the beat on the hip hop street

Stars and bars and the biggest cars

And a rocket ship take you up to Mars

There's the east coast trip where it's real uptight

Where you work all day and you play all night

And the west coast side with the laid back scene

When you just lay back and it seems like a dream

There's a lot of places in between

There's Hollywood and the city by the bay

And the whole damn south down Louisiana way

That's the way,that's the way,hey hey,in the USA

There's still cowboys and indians (indians) at home on the range

But the cowboys and indians have changed - they've changed

In the land of the free and the home of the brave

The cowboys and cowgirls and indians have changed

Baby baby baby

That's the way that's the way that's the way in the USA...

Cowboys and indians...

In the USA...

Feeling alright, feel like contact tonight

Well you know what it says and you know what you feel

And you know what it's like and you know it's for real

Take it to the limit, take it to the height

Take it to the limit, contact tonight

Don't speak, don't break the spell

Let's dance, you dance so well

I contact you, you contact me

Across the room our glances meet

I contact you, eye contact, eye contact

Feeling fine, feel like dynamite

Eyes speak more than words can say

Sparks fly eye contact is made

Well you know what it says

And you know what you feel

Well you know what it's like

And you know it's for real

So take it to the limit, take it to the height

Take it to the limit, contact tonight

Breathe deep let your feelings show,

Let's dance but not too slow

I contact you, you contact me, across the room

Our glances meet, I contact you...

Eye contact, eye contact

Take it to the limit, take it to the limit,

Eye contact, eye contact...

The sights that you can take advantage of

Look at the beautiful cloud formations below you and

above you

This could be heaven

Think of the colour of the sun as it shines off the clouds

In these days, (or see the stars), in these days, in these

days of cool reflection

You come to me and everything seems alright

In these days of cold affections

You sit by me and everything's fine

This could be heaven for everyone

This world could be fed, this world could be fun

This could be heaven for everyone

This world could be free, this world could be one,

In this world of cool deception

Just your smile can smooth my ride

These troubled days of cruel rejection

You come to me, soothe my troubled mind

Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone

This world could be fed, this world could be fun

This should be love for everyone, yeah

This world could be fed, this world could be one

We should bring love to our daughters and sons

Love, love, love, love

This could be heaven for everyone

(So take a seat and sit by my side a while)

(You know I like your style)

This could be heaven for everyone

(So what can we do to clean up this mess)

(Just feel so helpless)

This could be heaven for everyone

(So lift up your voice at least you'll have cared)

This could be heaven for everyone

Listen. What people do to other souls

They take their lives, destroy their goals

Their basic pride and dignity

Is stripped and torn and shown no pity

When this should be heaven for everyone

This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone

And that is the end of this section.

Clap, clap, clap your hands, clap your hands to this

Clap your hands and let's groove...

There comes a time in every life

There comes a day in every mind

Now don't look back, don't look behind

Stand up straight in your own time

Stand up for love, every good man

Stand up for love, and every foolish man

Stand up for love, and all the rich men

Stand up for love, and all the proud men

Stand up for love, stand up for love, stand up for

love...

Everybody, come on and take my hand

Everybody, you know it's time,

It's time to make your stand...

Clap your hands and let's groove

In case of fear, in case of fire, in case of some

Kinda, earthquake, or forest fire

I got my man, I got my man, right in my sights -

He looks to the left, leans to the right

You know I want you to now

Stand up for love, every good man

Stand up for love, and every foolish man

And every rich man, and every proud man

Stand up for love, stand up for love...

Everybody, come on and take my hand

I said everybody you know it's time, it's time to,

Time to make your stand

Die for love, this is a cry for love

Let's fly for love, gotta die for love

Stand up for love, stand up for love...

Love on a lead is what you need

Love on a leash is what you wish

Love on a tightrope is what you get

Love on a steep slope you ain't seen nothing yet

When you smile, that wide wild smile

That tiger smile, I'm trapped again, hey

Be my dog, be my pet, like a nervous tick

You just won't quit, like a nervous tick you just won't quit

You don't need a doctor, you need a vet

And when you laugh, your crazy laugh

That wild cat laugh, I'm trapped again

Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope

Our love's on a steep slope

Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope

No don't give up hope 'Cos when you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Don't give up hope our love's on a tightrope

Like a tiger cat you're where it's at

Like a crocodile along the Nile

So strange and wild, some kind of reptile

Love on a lead is what you need

And when you smile, that wide wild smile

That tiger smile, I'm trapped again

Trapped again

They say never bite the hand that feeds

Just one look and my heart bleeds

Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope

You know, our love's on a steep slope

Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope

No don't give up hope, 'Cos when you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Don't give up hope our love's on a tightrope

Animal eyes - like a real good time

Animal lips it's a perfect crime

Animal hair it just ain't fair

Like an animal...

She was a waitress she looked real fine

The little temptress was so divine

A symphony of cheap perfume and pretty stale red wine

She can wait upon my table anytime

She was poetry in motion

Stiletto heels and nylons she moved up to the table

I could see she had for me a burger with my fries on

Love lies bleeding, listen to this, love lies bleeding

Well we parked outside a city bank

We found it all real funny

The car was running on full tanks and we stole all the money

She was a wicked wily waitress and she should be doing time

She was an ordinary waitress now she owns her own goldmine

How 'bout that

Love lies bleeding, now listen to this, love lies bleeding

She was a rebel without a cause

She was a girl who needed applause

Love in the future, love in the past

Love lies bleeding in our path

Love lies bleeding

Would you believe that it gets worse

She had a loud theatrical whisper

I had a one way ticket to Palookaville

She had an equally dangerous sister

I was out of my league, they were in for the kill

She was a wicked wily waitress

And I gave her all my trust

She took the loot, gave me the boot

Now she's rich and I'm flat bust

Yeah love lies bleeding

Now that was the limit because

She was a rebel without a cause

She was a girl who needed applause

Love in the future, love in the past

Love in the future, love in the past

Love lies bleeding in our path

Love lies bleeding, love lies bleeding

I dreamed this world was quite alright,

And everyone meant well

When I awoke to my surprise

I found myself in hell

Love lies bleeding...

We criminalise - your kind of voodoo

Make me sell my soul for the easy life

Sell my mother, trade in my wife

Rough justice - alright

Rough justice - on the streets tonight

Rough justice - we're the chosen few

If you want to scream, if you want to fight

Better take it to the man with the big house - in white

It's rough justice

Your bleeding heart got a hold on me

Your criminal heart won't let me be

For finer feelings I didn't feel the need

When I'm dealing you'd better watch my speed

Get rough

Rough justice - alright

Rough justice - on the streets tonight

Rough justice - we're the chosen few

Rough justice, somebody loosened my screws

Vigilante man of the neighbourhood

Well I ain't like Doris Day, and I ain't no Robin Hood

It's rough justice

Your criminal eyes don't cut no ice

We criminalise don't take no outside advice

It's a real cruel life when you have to lose it

It's a heavy knife when you have to use it

It's rough justice, it's rough justice

It's rough justice, it's rough justice
