"Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Load up on guns, bring your
friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less
dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yay! [x3]
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]
Hello, hello, hello!
"Hound Dog"
You ain't nothin' but a
hound dog
cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a
hound dog
cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never
caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of
mine.
When they said you was
high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was
high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a
rabbit
and you ain't no friend of
mine.
"Stairway To Heaven"
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is
gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores
are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to
heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to
be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two
meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird
who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the
west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke
through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call
the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who
stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be
alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but
in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're
on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in
case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and
did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
"Thriller"
Are closing in to seal your
[1st verse]
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
doom
And though you fight to
stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can
resist
The evil of the thriller
[Chorus]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
[Into maniacal laugh, in
deep echo]
[2nd verse]
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time
[Bridge]
Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(they're open wide)
This is the end of your life
[3rd verse]
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah.
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
[Rap performed by Vincent Price]
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize your neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
"Lose Yourself"
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes
on
Da da dum da dum da da
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop
bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook]
[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)
The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
"Cool Kids"
No more games, I'ma change what you call
rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two
dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all
changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed
off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right into
the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied
piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for
my family
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps
don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer,
this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting
even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a
father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail
or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option,
failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet, fail me not, this may be the only
opportunity that I got
[Hook]
You can do anything you set your mind to,
man
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style.
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down.
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background.
And she says,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue.
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through.
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going.
In the fast lane, living life without knowing.
And he says,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
And they said,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
Whoa [3x]
Like the cool kids
