Get A Grip
Intro
( Tyler )
Wake up kid
It's half past the youth
Ain't nothin' really changin' but the date
A you a grand slammer
But'chor no Babe Ruth
You gotta learn how to relate
I heard your swinging from the Pearly gate
I got all answers and lo and behold
You got the right key baby
But the wrong key hole yo
Eat The Rich
( Tyler / Perry / J. Vallance )
Yeah...
Well I woke up this morning
On the wrong side of the bed
And a how I got to thinkin'
About a all those things you said
About ordinary people
And how they make you sick
And if callin' names kicks back on you
Then I hope this does the trick
A 'cause I'm sick of your complainin'
About how many bills
And I'm sick of all your bitchin'
'Bout'chor poodles and your pills
And I just can't see no humor
About'chor way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now spit out the rest... uh huh
So I called up my head shrinker
And I told him what I'd done
He said you'd best go on a diet
Yeah I hope you have some fun
And a don't go burst your bubble
On the rich folks who get rude
'Cause you won't get in no trouble
A when you eats that kinda food
Now they're smokin' up their junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they're dancin' in the yacht club
With Muff and uncle Biff
But there's one good thing that happens
A when you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes they may taste like shit
But go real good with wine
Eat the rich
A there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now spit out the rest
Believe in all the good things
That money just can't buy
A then you won't get no bellyache
From eatin' humble pie
I believe in rags to riches
Your inheritance won't last
So take your Grey Poupon my friend
And shove it up your ass
Eat the rich
A there's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now spit out the rest
Eat the rich
There's only one thing that they're good for
Eat the rich
A take a one bite now come back for more
Eat the rich
A don't stop me now I'm goin' crazy
Eat the rich
A that's my idea of a good time baby

Fever
( Tyler / Perry )
Hey...

And a hole in my brand new shoes
I got a margarita nose
And a breath full of Mad Dog booze
I got the fever... a fever... fever...a fever
Yeah they threw me outta jail
I tell ya it ain't fair
I tried to kiss the judge
In the electrica' chair
Yeah we're all here
'Cause we're not all there tonight
The guitar's cranked
And the bass man's blown a fuse... yee whooo
And when the whole gang bangs
Tell me then what's your excuse
We got fever... fever... fever... a fever
Fever gives you lust with an appetite
It hits you like the fangs
From a rattlesnake bite
We are here
'Cause we're not all there tonight
We can't run away from trouble
There ain't no place that far
But if we do it right at the speed a light
There's the backseat of my car... caviar... that's right
And I was feelin' so high I forgot what day
Now I'm feeling low down
Even slow seems way to fast... ahh yeah
And now the booze don't work
'Cause the drugs ran outta gas
I got fever... fever... a fever... a fever
The buzz that'choo be gettin'
From the crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the crack of her ass
Yeah we are here
'Cause we're not all there tonight
My first time ever lover
We fell asleep out on the lawn
And when I woke up I was all alone
Making love to the crack of dawn
So yo I beg yo pardon sir
The gangster of love rides again
Oou... oou... oou...
Ah ah ah... I got the fever...
You know I got the chill
Fever...
It gimme such a thrill
Fever...
Like a burnin' plague
Fever...

Fever may be Hell and a cross to bear
As long as I'm in heaven honey I don't care
You look so good babe you look so fine

You get so tired holdin' on so tight
If you think you're goin' crazy
Well you may be right

'Cause we're not all there... that's right
O.D. means to Over Dose... usually on drugs.
O.D.in' is just short for O.D.ing

Flesh
( Tyler / Perry / D. Child )
...and actually put her hand on mine
And as she touched me I remember something... hot
I wonder why she moved me
She took my hand...
Moved it to a round mound on the outside of her blouse
And with her hand on mine she began to teach me
How to turn her on...
The day rolls in the night rolls out
Desire rules without a doubt
The heart beats fast you salivate
And when you cum it won't be late
I guess by now you got the score
A little taste you want it more
From San Antone to Marrakesh
Yeah when the night comes
Everybody gotta have flesh
You got me all soakin' wet
Flesh... the only thing that's worth the sweat
From the day that Eve did Adam
Down to Romeo and Juliet
Everybody gotta have...
The prince of lust has met his match
The witch has brewed her baddest batch
His sword is sharp and hard as stone
Her cauldron begs for one more bone
And so my love this story's told
From modern times to days of old
From Boston Mass to Bangladesh
Yeah when the night comes
Everybody gotta have flesh
It's got me all soakin' wet
Flesh... the only thing that's worth the sweat... yeah
From the Mississippi River
To the highest mountain in Tibet
Everybody gotta have...
Flesh... ya got me all soakin' wet
Flesh... the only thing that's worth the sweat
Flesh... ya got me all soakin' wet... uh uh uh uh
Flesh... the only thing the only thing the only thing... yeeeah
From a Sufi in a Rickshaw
To a bimbo in a pink Corvette
Everybody gotta have... flesh
Sufi or also called a Dervish means they are a truth seeker and a practitioner
within the mystical dimentions of Islam
Walk On Down
( Perry )
Yeah... yeah
(Right speaker only)
Ya know I really thought that a...
My wife's kinda ticked off at me
You wonder why you got holes in your shoes
You wonder why they got more money than you
You wonder why you got nothin' to lose
It makes no sense don't try ta figure it out
You gotta... walk on down
Walk on down... walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's
Walk on down... walk on down... walk on down
When you're shit outta luck

Yeah huh
Well she says that she loves ya
In your mind there's no doubt but
You feel like a stranger
When the lights go out
As you lie there awake you think
This ain't no gift
Don't try to figure
That weight's too heavy to lift
You gotta... walk on down
Walk on down... walk on down
When you're shit outta luck
There's just one thing to do and that's...

Shut Up And Dance
Shut Up And Dance
( Tyler / Perry / J. Blades / T. Shaw )
Huh huh huh...
Talk is cheap shut up and dance
Don't get deep shut up and dance
A love has got a me down
A tear just hit the ground
So I started writin' you this song
But the words I wrote came out all wrong
Yeah but it's all right
Talk is cheap shut up and dance... aaaaaou
Don't get deep shut up and dance
When you can't define a the crime
A then life ain't worth a dime
When they take away everything you got
Then they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight
Talk is cheap shut up and dance... aaaaaou
Don't get deep shut up and dance... yeah
When you work your fingers a to the bone
Now what does that get you... nothing
In a crowd of people and you're still alone
And you hope that tells you... something
Yeah the road to Heaven is paved in Hell
And it makes you wonder
Why we're here at all
Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can't do jack so shut up and dance
Sex is like a gun
You aim you shoot ha ha... a you run
When you're splittin' hairs with Mr. Clean
It's like gettin' head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun
Huu hoo huu hoo huu hoo...
Talk is cheap shut up and dance
Ohhh... shut up shut up shut up shut up
Don't get deep shut up and dance... aaaaaou
Talk is cheap shut up and dance... yeah

Cryin'
Cryin'
( Tyler / Perry / T. Rhodes )

Girl I gotta say
We're partners in crime

If our love goes up in flames

Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get'choo

Crazy
( Tyler / Perry / D. Child )
C'mere baby

Amazing
( Tyler / R. Supa )
I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy
To see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
And tryin' to walk through the pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah I thought I could leave
But couldn't get out the door... heh ha
I was so sick n' tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishing that I... would die
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye
You finally see the light'a
Oh... It's amazing
A when the moment arrives
That'choo know you'll be alright
Yeah... It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer
For the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's a permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow bring... yeah
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen
To all that righteous talk... oh yeah
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay... alive
It's amazing
A with a blink of an eye
You finally see the light
Oh... it's amazing
A when the moment arrives
That'choo know you'll be alright
Oh... it's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer
For the desperate hearts tonight
The desperate hearts
Desperate hearts
Really wanna see what I can give what I got
Oh oh no
Wha na naa na na naaaa..... ooohhhha yeah.....
So... from all of us in Aerosmith
To all of you out there wherever you are
Remember...
The light at the end of the tunnel
May be you
Goodnight
( Instrumental )
