Before the Fall (02:11)
The Hellacopters • Rock & Roll Is Dead
Got beggars and clerks
Got teachers and kids
Elected men off work
Defrocked preachers forbid
I wonder how they can stand it
Or if they care at all
As they waste the last few days
Before the fall

Homesick prisoners
And party throwers
With all their honored guests
And their going nowheres
You know i cannot be bothered
Just ain't no point at all
I've done a lot of screaming
But no one would heed the call
Before the fall

Talk show hosts
Prophets and the police
Swinging bachelor ghosts
And lone divorcees
I don't wanna hear no more
Not a word about this at all
No use to keep on screaming
'Cause no one will head the call
Before the fall

Everything's on T.V. (03:14)
The Hellacopters • Rock & Roll Is Dead
I have a T.V. screen of some 32 inches
T.V. dinner and an easy chair
From where i view a disaster
And switch the channel fast
And thank my lucky star i wasn't there
The world's in a hurry but i don't have to worry
There's a movie on with a happy end
I've seen it before but i can see it some more
So i don't have to go out and pretend

No i don't have to go out
I'll just stay inside - it doesn't bother me
I have all i need because everything is on t.v.

Well i burned all my books
On my ass i sit and look
And behold the world deteriorate
I don't have to stand up just to take a stand
I'll sms a live t.v. debate

No i don't have to go out
I'll just stay inside - it keeps me company
I have all i need because everything is on t.v.

I can pay to get heard or to get the last word
Wire money to some charity
While i do as i please and bake in my own grease
I better keep my conscience clean
The world's in a hurry but i don't have to worry
I got my virtue and i got my vice
I got bedsores - aching ligaments galore
Now that's a tiny sacrifice

Monkeyboy (02:38)
The Hellacopters • Rock & Roll Is Dead
I got an ape performing in my head
If he don't stop then i will soon be dead

This monkey's no friend of mine
I try to act straight but he's on cloud number nine
He's got a cup made of tin
And it's 'cause of him you won't let me in

He bangs a drum so i can get no sleep
Well he's a monkey but he can't be beat

Head over heels on banana peel
I'm getting confused as to what i feel
And every time i try to speak
He always puts his monkeytongue in my cheek

Oh my my - i'd do anything to make him die
But then i see there's nothing i can do
The monkey's just a part of me

I got a monkey singing in my brain
I should have known already we're the same

I got some monkey business to attend
I think i'll ask him if he'd hold my hand

And ask him to be a friend of mine
Together we'll fly up to cloud number nine
And share his cup made of tin
Maybe then you'd like to let us in

Oh my my - i did everything to make him die
But now i see there's nothing ican do
The monkey's just a part of me

I'm in the Band (03:19)
The Hellacopters • Rock & Roll Is Dead
Friday night we got a gig in town
We're all reved up we're gonna get it on down
They're playing our song on the radio
We're dressed for the occasion and we're ready to go

Had a great pair of shoes I thought I had class
A brand new jacket but no backstage pass
Had to hurry up - to the stage I ran
And this big guy pushed me - said "no you can't"

But hey I'm in the band
Would it be so hard for you to understand
That I got work to do you better let me in man
Because I'm in the band

Paid our dues on the long way here
The van broke down but we don't give a care
The sun sets low and it's about time
So don't you treat me like I commited a crime

Been here all day to soundcheck and eat
There's no way in hell that we didn't meet
There are rules to be followed yes I underdtand
And you're doing your job the best you can

But hey I'm in the band
Would it be so hard for you to understand
That i got obligations to my screaming female fans
Because i'm in the band

I may not look like jagger
May not have money in the bank
I got a pair of cheap sunglasses
And my castle may be made of sand

But hey i'm in the band
And without me you'd have no girl to land
Because of me and my colleagues
You got wedding plans only 'cause I'm in the band
Yes I'm in the band

I Might Come See You Tonight (03:24)
The Hellacopters • Rock & Roll Is Dead
Give me a drink - i need some time to think this over
Should i go through that door - i wanna be sure tonight
The girls look pale and the liquor is stale and i'm sober
The place is packed with brats and infested by rats
And i don't wanna put up a fight
On the edge of being jaded
But it's the little things that could have me persuaded
So if you play real tight and you're not too light
I might come see you tonight

It's a crack in the wall - the guys are way too tall
And the ladies make too much noise and i do have a choice tonight
I can lay on the couch and refuse to go out
But maybe if the band's not crap and i don't drink from the tap
It really could be out of sight
But the dudes they never give me a break
And a can in my head is more than i can take
But if you're not too light and you get it on right
I might come see you tonight

I'll come see you tonight
If you really get it on alright
I'll come see you tonight
If you really get it on

So here comes the band - the baddest in the land oh really
Well see if i care 'bout the clothes that you wear
The latest fad ain't gonna get you nowhere
But if you play real tight and you're not too light
I might come see you tonight
