Everybodys Selling Something
More 4/4s in the neighborhood
Banging on the same guitar
Dreaming of living in hollywood
Puffing on a big cigar
Prima ballerina in a magazine
Call her on the telephone
Tell her that youre sending up a limousine
She say: I dont know...
I know where to go!
Now 4/4s in a different mood
Thinks hes gonna change the world
Making all the money that some others should
Guess its cause we dont deserve
Meet a lot of people in a magazine
Tell you where not to go
Tell you that Im living out a fantasy
You say: you dont know
They play me on the radio
You gotta walk before you crawl
Remember everybodys selling something
You gotta talk before you know
Remember everybodys selling something
Theres like a racket on the ball
Remember everybody wants attention
You gotta rock before you roll
Remember everybodys selling something
Sell me something
Sell me something
Sell me something
Now!
Now 4/4s into mother earth
Hurry up and wait t.v.
Funny how your lifell take a different turn
And how you get to dance for free
See a lot of freedom in your magazine?
Does it tell you what you want to know?
Tell you once and maybe twice and maybe three times
Thats all right!
Were coming out in stereo!!!
You gotta walk before you crawl
Remember everybodys selling something
You gotta talk before you know
Remember everybodys selling something
Theres like a racket on the ball
Remember everybody wants attention
You gotta rock before you roll
Remember everybodys selling something
Sell me something
Sell me something
Sell me something
Now!
Sell me something
Sell me something
Sell me something
Now!

Used Car Sales People
With the gift of the gab they would talk their way out of hell
These used car sales people they know how to sell
On their selling ability their jobs are at stake
The more cars they do sell the more commission they do make
On any deals they clinch they have never lost
And your trust on such people can come at a cost
The more cars they sell the more money they get paid
A hard job to succeed in the used car trade,
Shy and sensitive used car sales people one might say are rare
To sell one a car no effort they do spare
They have to sell cars or their boss them will fire
And other used car yard owners as car sales people them will not hire
The more cars they sell the greater is their pay
So to sell you a car they try every which way.

Bankrupt On Selling
Well all the apostles-theyre sitting in swings
Saying Id sell off my savior for a set of new rings
And some sandles with the style of straps that cling best to the era
So all of the businessers in their unlimited
Hell where they buy and they sell and they sell all their
Trash to each other but theyre sick of it all
And theyre bankrupt on selling
And all of the angels
Theyd sell off yer soul for a set of new wings and anything gold
They remember
The people they loved their old friends
And Ive seen throughem all seen throughem all and seen through most everything
All the people you knew were the actors
All the people you knew were the actors
Well, Ill go to college and Ill learn some big words
And Ill talk real loud
Goddamn right Ill be heard
Youll remember all the guys that said all those big words he mustve
Learned in college
And it took a long time
I came clean with myself
I come clean out of love with my lover
I still love her
Loved her more when she used to be sober and I was kinder

Anything Thats Rock N Roll
Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night
Rockin pretty steady til l the sky went light
And I didnt go to bed, didnt go to work
I picked up the telephone, told the boss he was a jerk
Your mama dont like it when you run around with me
But we gotta hip your mama that you gotta live free
Dont need her, dont need school
You dont like your daddy, and you dont like rules
So come baby, lets go, dont you hear the rock n roll
Playin on the radio sounds so right
Girl you better grab hold, everybodys gotta know
Anything that s rock n roll fine
Oh, oh, oh, hold me little baby
Im a little bit shakin and a little bit crazy
But I know what I want, I want it right now
While the electric guitar is playin way up loud
So come baby lets go dont you hear the rock n roll
Playin on the radio sounds so right
Girl you better grab hold, everybodys gotta know
Anything thats rock n roll fine
Fine, fine , its so fine

Everybodys Got A Mountain To Climb
Everybodys got a mountain to climb
By dickey betts
Copyright 1994 sony music entertainment, inc.
Transcribed by ed luskey
Everybodys got a mountain to climb,
This road we travel gets a little tough sometimes,
Sometimes I know you feel like you cant go on,
Need somebody help you get back home,
Need a friend to help you find your way home.
Reverend pearly brown say theres peace out on the water at night,
Big sun going down, lord its a pretty sight,
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song,
Listen to it all night long.
Everybodys got a mountain to climb,
Dont be discouraged when the sun dont shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin,
Everybodys got a mountain to climb,
Everybodys got a mountain to climb.
Whod cross the face of a little smilin child? ,
Take away the losers one last chance? ,
Who wouldnt linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when youre dancin.
So, hey let me tell you what Im talkin about,
You cant go around with your lip stuck out.
Life aint all good but it sure aint bad,
Anyway its the best old life I ever had.
Everybodys got a mountain to climb,
Dont be discouraged when the sun dont shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin,
Everybodys got a mountain to climb.
Everybodys got a mountain to climb,
Dont be discouraged when the sun dont shine,
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin,
Everybodys got a mountain to climb.

Fool For The Night
I know just what youre thinking
I know just how you feel
Something somewhere inside you
Say you cant believe its real
So youre gonna play the game
All the faces and the names
And you know youre never gonna change
Fool for the night
And you dont believe it
Fool for the night
And you just cant see it
Running through the shadows
Like a phantom in the night
And as the curtain raises
You get ready for the fight
Say you want to even up the score
Dont know what youre doing it for
Too much but you still need more
Fool for the night
And you dont believe it
Fool for the night
And you still cant see it
I aint gonna try and tell ya
You know the story oh so well
Everybodys out to buy and sell ya
Youre gonna wind up by yourself
Oh here it comes again
No its never gonna end
I must be dreaming
Solo
Fool for the night
Fool for the night
Oh here it comes again
I aint gonna try and tell ya
You know the story oh so well
Everybodys out to buy and sell ya
Youre gonna wind up by yourself
Oh here it comes again
No its never gonna end
I must be dreaming
You love the night life
All the neon and the noise
And underneath the spotlight
You keep rockin with the boys
So youre never gonna understand
Nobody really gives a damn
Fool for the night and you dont believe it
Fool for the night why dont you see it

Sometimes
Sometimes
I like to talk about it
But I wont fight about it
Its just a waste of time
Sometimes
I even think about it
Then again I wont deny it
That aint worth my time
Sometime
You gotta face it down
You gotta work around it
Sometime you gotta lose
Sell yourself a reason
Take yourself outside
Through it all the truth comes out
Youre still alone inside
Some days
I even see you there
You look away but I dont care
Especially not today
Sometimes
I have to deal with it
But how can when I dont even know how I feel about it
Maybe some other day
Another holiday
Sometimes
I even see your face
And I just wanna tear it away
If only from my mind
Sometimes
Id like to see you about it
Then again, I can do without it
Maybe some other time
Sell yourself a reason
Take yourself outside
And through it all the truth comes out
Youre still alone inside
Sell yourself a reason
Take yourself outside
And through it all the truth comes out
Youre still alone inside
You dont know what you did to me
And I wont give you the courtesy
Youll never know how much I cried
To show you tears?
Id rather die
Another holiday

So You Want To Be A Rock n Roll Star
So you want to be a rock n roll star
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
And take some time and learn how to play
And when your hairs combed right
And your pants fit tight
Its gonna be all right
Then its time to go down town
Where the agent man wont let you down
Sell your soul to the company who are waiting there
To sell plastic ware and in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls will tear you apart
Gotta pay for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game
Youre a little insane
The money that came and the public acclaim
Dont forget who you are
Youre a rock n roll star

Everybodys Alone
If youre looking for me
Youll find me resting in the shade
Of the mountains and trees
Beneath the cool summer breeze
And I dont mind if you stay
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
People talking to me
Someone saying that Im not the same
Thats not so easy to be
But when Ill learn to be free
I wonder if Ill miss the pain
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
All I want you to know
Is that I love you so much
I can hardly stand it
When everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone
Everybodys alone

Everybodys Girl
Well, whod have believed this seasoned connoisseur lady-killer
Like me
Would get hurt by a girl like you
And they got names for dirty little girls like you, honey
It aint nice no, but they call you everybodys girl
And they say, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
And they say, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes
There goes everybodys girl
Everybodys girl, everybodys girl, everybodys girl
You might say I was blind for a while
I fell asleep at the driving wheel
You sure woke me up in a hurry, honey
And I cant blame anyone but me I know
Its my fault for falling for everybodys girl
And they say, hes the one, hes the one, hes the one
And they say, hes the one, hes the one, hes the one
He got screwed by everybodys girl
Everybodys girl, everybodys girl, everybodys girl
You got no apparent sensitivity
Youre cut deep with self-destructivity
Your minds made up, youre heading for the day
When youll shake and your heart breaks
Its gonna come ohoh
Everybodys girl, everybodys girl
Everybodys girl, everybodys girl
Everybodys girl , you know the times gonna come
Everybodys girl, you cant keep doing this forever
Everybodys girl, youre not gonna get another chance
Everybodys girl, youre gonna get it!

If hed been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in vietnam

Selling dope and making hay

Breathing air, like you and me
They gave him ten for two
What else can the judges do?

Was he jailed for what he done?
Or representing everyone
Free john now, if we can
From the clutches of the man
Let him be, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,

Something In 4/4 Time
Sooner or later its a matter of money
And then its just a matter of time
You can say you dont care and you think its funny
But baby its your life on the line
Youre selling yourself and its a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes
Continue to dream after youre robbed of sleep
Even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think youll come out unhurt?
Youre selling yourself and its a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes

..roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
I feel uptight on a saturday night
Nine o clock, the radios the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to
Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in detroit rock city
Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat
Getting late
I just cant wait
Ten oclock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat
Movin fast, doin 95
Hit top speed but Im still movin much too slow
I feel so good, Im so alive
I hear my song playin on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybodys gonna leave their seat
Twelve oclock, I gotta rock
Theres a truck ahead, lights starin at my eyes
Oh my god, no time to turn
I got to laugh cause I know Im gonna die
Why
Get up
Everybodys gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybodys gonna leave their seat

Dead Of The Night
(ralphs/thomas)
Every night as I sit on my own, I still think I can hear you
I cant stand all this being alone, I just gotta be near you
I dont know if youre coming back, sometimes I could scream
But every night I know Ill see you, you still live in my dreams
Chorus:
In the dead of the night, when everybodys sleeping
Oh that is the time, when you come around
You left and my world fell apart, and I was desperate to find you
I want you back but where do I start, I need help to remind you
I dont know if youll ever remember, when love reigned supreme
The only time that I get to see you now, is here in my dreams
Chorus:
In the dead of the night, when everybodys sleeping
Oh that is the time, when you come around
(solo)
Oh babe when you come back, and put and end to this pain
Meantime if I close my eyes, Ill see you again
Chorus repeats out...
In the dead of the night, when everybodys sleeping
Oh that is the time, when you come around

Its Only Rock n Roll
(rodney crowell)
Well, its only rock and roll keep you running from yourself
When the only way to slow down is to fall
And its only rock and roll that caused you to leave home
When the only way to get back is to crawl
But the record people love you they can get you on the bill
Change your name to money dress up fit to kill
People all around you everywhere you go
Dont worry if they love you son its only rock and roll
Yes and its only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time
When you really ought to sit this one out
And its only rock and roll keep on messin with your mind when
You dont know what theyre talkin about
All around the world everywhere you go
People got to have it cause its only rock and roll
Its only rock and roll yes its only rock and roll
People all around you everywhere you go
Dont worry if they love you, cause its only rock and roll
Well its only rock and roll when your moneys in the mail
And your loves on the back of the bus
And its only rock and roll when your records start to sell
And you dont know why theyre making such a fuss
Telephone receiver ringin off the wall
Can I get witness each and every call
Second that emotion chased into your soul
Dont worry lest you linger, son its only rock and roll
Its only rock and roll yes its only rock and roll
People all around you everywhere you go
Dont worry if they love you, cause its only rock and roll
Its only rock and roll. yeah its only rock and roll
All around the world everywhere you go
People got to have it son its only rock and roll

Rock Your Heart Out
Got the devil in you
Got the devil in me
Play a dangerous tune
Come on and dance with thee
You got to throw your fists up
Shout your mouth out
Beat the walls down
Got to freak out
Rock your little
Rock your little
Rock your little heart out
(you gotta rock it on down)
Got everything you want
Got everything you need
Dont worry about the cost
Just sell your soul to me
You gotta bring the house down
Beat the drums loud
Bleed your life dry
Climb on lets fly
Rock your little
Rock your little
Rock your little heart out
Rock, rock your little heart out
(rock it on down)
(cut your teeth on this)
You gotta put your foot down
Beat your chest hard
Blow your brains out
Feel her shout loud
You gotta rock your heart out
Rock your heart out
Rock, rock your little heart out

We are nothing but Eurotrash
We take Plastic we take Cash
We are selling an image
Everything must go
I want you to know
You don't want the side effects
You wanna .com
Need simulated sex
We're selling you heaven
Prices down to a low
I thought you should know
It's all in your head
You're living a lie
There is nothing
Money can't buy
We are nothing but Eurotrash
We take Plastic and we take Cash
We sell our hearts second class
We slit our throats on tinted glass
We're silicon stitches
Reality bites hard
