The Last Guitar Hero [Dennis DeYoung]

Image
The Last Guitar Hero Written by  Dennis DeYoung  and Jim Peterik Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung The music plays for free tonight From the corporate parasites Living off the blood of the creators The player stands there all alone Works his fingers to the bone Everywhere he looks nothing but traitors Whatever skill that you posses The new machine makes you second best Their working hard you know it's true To find an app to replace you You're the last guitar hero With the tools of your trade The last guitar hero Genuine hand made The last guitar hero With your big old Marshall stack Gone like a record store And never coming back Never coming back They say that change is here to stay Hell that's what they said yesterday But who can tell which way this wind is blowing Were travelling past the speed of light We're nothing more than bits and bytes Does anybody know where this things going Is there a place for you and me Beyond the lure of technology They're counting beans y...

Little Did We Know [Dennis DeYoung]

Little Did We Know  Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung So many were the days when life seemed unbearable Breathing in the haze that poisoned the air Lost and alone it was so inhumane In a twilight zone with the world gone insane So little did we know, denying our ignorance So little did we care in a cloak of indifference See we were the ones who refused to believe And now we'll see they'll be thеy'll be no reprievе Oh so little did we know Like zombies with flesh on our minds Oh no no now where can we go So little do we know Seems the only way we learn is when it's the hard way At the point of no return we still look away Unable to face the truth or the facts We start our vicious attacks, come what may What's wrong with us? Oh, the price that we'll pay We don't listen only speak 'cause, man, we know everything Don't you mess with my beliefs when you don't know anything Unwilling to change or even to bend We lose our family a...

A Kingdom Ablaze [Dennis DeYoung]

Image
A Kingdom Ablaze  Written by  Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung With the kingdom ablaze We averted our gaze By hiding our eyes When the pillars came down We heard not a sound From the city of lies Nero's sang the same song they'd been singing While hero's shot in vain their arrows slinging Then the king and his knaves The fools and the slaves Kept pouring our wine And we knew we should stop But we drank every drop Every grape from the vine Barren grew the land between the oceans And sorcerers could not conjure magic potions House of cards, cried the child We are tribes, running wild It was you, it was me It was us, can't you see? When our greed becomes our need All will bleed So we musn't blame fate When fools legislate Without any plan And we dare not ignore The devil in store From the nature of man The future lies in state with tragic endings While we still contemplate our happy endings House of cards, cried the child We are tribes, running wild Was it ...

Music Time

Music Time Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Hey Everybody It's Music Time "Now, you can't expect to figure out how to be cool looking in catalogs, so forget about it" "You've gotta do it the old-fashioned way...fake it!" Yeah! "Play your drum boy!" I like music The rhythm really gets to me I can't control it My feet move automatically And I like hot licks The kind I wish that I could play And when I hear them I crank the volume all the way Turn it on Turn it up Turn it loud All the way I like strangers Their kindness means a lot to me They don't ask questions Don't care about my history And I like fast girls I don't know what's come over me They make me do things I would not ordinarily Turn me on Turn me up Turn me loose All the way Hear it Feel it Like it Do it do it do it do it Want it Need it Love it Can't get enough of it Try it Do it Go ahead and go for it All the way...... And I like daydream...

My Hallucination [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Image
My Hallucination Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Manson lived, Lennon died You don't know the reason why I'm crying Thirty years enough time for me Tell me who shot Kennedy I'm dying Long tall Sally She comes and goes Got diamond rings All through her nose Is that all we were fighting for? Somewhere in my hallucination I thought we were giving peace a chance But what's a revolution When the music plays And no one wants to dance We paid the price in Vietnam While crosses burned in Birmingham I'm sighing In Memphis now the church bells ring While L.A. crowns a different king Can't we all get along Hi-ho silver Don't you know I just got faxed from Tokyo Is that what we're still fighting for? Somewhere in my hallucination I thought we were giving peace a chance But what's a revolution When the music plays And no one wants to dance Fat chance Going insane with the fun you've had Who's to blame when it all goes ba...

Pieces of Eight / Aku Aku

  Pieces of Eight Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung It's six o'clock Good morning sounds are everywhere The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair I hurry through my life never stopping to see How beautiful it was meant to be I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise Broken dreams as we shuffle by It's six o'clock it's quitting time I'm done for the day Out on the streets I overheard a lady say We now have everything or so people say But now this emptiness haunts me every day We seek the lion's share never knowing why Come alive spread your wings and fly Pieces of eight The search for the money tree Don't cash your freedoms in for gold Pieces of eight Can't buy you everything Don't let it turn your heart to stone Aku-Aku Written by Tommy Shaw Aku-Aku
