MAMA'S BOY 2.09 (Johnny Ramone/Dee Dee Ramone/
Tommy Erdelyi)
Could't keep a secret got a concrete skull
Couldn't shut up you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog there's nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up got a bad bad brain
Couldn't hold your tongue You were just
Too young like a two year old you told
You told You are all the same jelly
Bean brain Every one's a secret nerd.
Every one's closet lame
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Don't want to work in a hot dog stand
Be a busboy messenger or a doorman
It's an abstract world you're an
Abstract man Abstract city don't give a damn
I'M NOT AFRAID OF LIFE 3.12
(Dee Dee Ramone)
I am not afraid of life of the poor
Man's struggle of the killer's knife
I am not afraid of life of an insane rage
Of the minimum wage I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I see an old lady with a shopping bag
And I wonder is life a drag
I am not afraid of pain but it hurts so bad
I feel so mad No one see the truth there's
Nothing to gain A life goes down the drain
Don't want to die at an early age
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I see a street crazy shivering with
The gold Is it a crime to be old
There's the threat of the nuclear bomb
We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace Will the fighting
Ever cease. Mankind's almot out of luck
A maniac could blow us up
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I get down on my knees and I pray
Is there hope for the world today
TOO TOUGH TO DIE 2.35 (Dee Dee
Ramone)
I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough
guy
I tell no tales I do no lie
I am a tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tough tough guy
Halo round my head too tough to die
Main attraction ia a freak side show
Down in the basement where the cobwebs grow
On my last leg just gettin' by
Halo round my head to tough to die
Rainy days rain cool wine I'll scratch your
back if you scratch mine hot sweat on my face
I feel like going' out someplace
Up late at night my chocolate sweet
Down at the gym where the muscle boys meet
I am a very nice guy very sincere
In real good shape I have no fear
At the concert when the band comes on
I am in the ring where belong
On my last leg just gettin' by
Halo round my head too tough to die

I take some dope, I feel so sick It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick
Doomsday visions of junkies and fags Artificial phonies I hate it,

Death, death, death is the price I pay It's a sick world, what can I
say?
No such thing as an even break It's stealing and cheating, take, take,
take

DANGER ZONE 2.03 (Dee Dee Ramone/Johnny Ramone)
New York is a real cool town Sociey really
Brings me down Our
playground is a pharmacy
Kids find trouble so easily
Other
countries are just so bad The soviets really
Make me mad on the
boulevard where the police hide
Let's steal a car for a
joyride
They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your
lid you flipped your lid
You love wine like they love cash
Feel
your rage spread like a rash
You flipped your lid You flipped your
lid
You flipped your lid You flipped your lid
They say you're just
an awkward kid
You flipped your lid You flipped your lid
All
alone in the danger zone danger zone danger zone
All alone in the
danger zone danger zone danger zone
CHASING THE NIGHT 4.25 (Lyrics by Joey
Ramone/ Dee Dee Ramone) (Music written by Busta Jones)
Standing here in front of the mirror
It's gonna be allright tonight
Feelin hot yeah I'm on fire
I'm never ever go in to tire
Tonight it's gonna be allright
Chasing the night It's gonna be allright
Chasing the night chasing chasing the night
It's gonna be allright
Live my life as I choose I paid the price,
Paid my dues You know I need no alibi
Daytime troubles fading nights intoxicating
Gonna have it all tonight That aint no lie
Tonight it's gonna be allright
Chasing the night It's gonna be allright
Chasing the night chasing chasing the night
It's gonna be allright
Rock all night sleep all day
It don't matter what they say
Aint never gonna change my ways and I wont
Be back till monday
Feelin exasperating excitement generating
I'm never ever gonna tire city is overloading
The circuits are exploding Ain't comin' down,
No I'm too wired
Tonight it's gonna be allright
Chasing the night It's gonna be allright
Chasing the night chasing chasing the night
It's gonna be allright
HOWLING AT THE MOON
(SHA-LA-LA) 4.06 (Dee Dee Ramone)
Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ships are docking planes are landing
A never ending supply
No more narco no more gangster
Conservatives can cry
I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
It was glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing in the dark
It was sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling in the dark
I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor
Winter turns to summer sadness turns to fun
Keep the faith, baby you broke the rules and won
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
Keep it glowing, glowing, glowing
I'm not hurting any one keep it glowing, smoking, glowing
I'm howling at the moon
I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor
Oh baby oh baby oh baby oh baby
I took the law and threw it away
'Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
I'm smoking, baby
I'm smoking, oh baby
There's no law, no law any more
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor
Sha-la-la-la sha-la-la-la-la-la
DAYTIME DILEMMA
(DANGERS OF LOVE)
4.31 (Lyrics by Joey Ramone) (Music written by Joey Ramone/Daniel
Rey)
She came from a happy home
A very happy home a very happy home
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all worked out but things aren't what
They seem is this real or just a dream?
And things will never ever be the same again
She came from a happy home
A very happy home a home of happiness
Miss personality, a grade 'A' student naturally
She had it all in place but things aren't what
they seem is this real or just a dream?
Things will never ever be the same again
The dangers, it's the dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers
She came from a happy home
A vey happy home a vert happy scene
She caught him with another it turns out it
Was her mother what a tragedy can things be
What they seem is this just some crazy dream
Things may never ever be the same again
The dangers, it's dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers
Keep telling li-ie-ies, but you dis you know you did
It's coming,. it's coming,. it's coming
The dangers, it's the dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers
What went wrong she couldn't tell but we know
It all too well
The dangers, it's the dangers of love
The dangers, it's the dangers
PLANET EARTH 1988 2.54 (Dee Dee
Ramone)
The solution to peace isn't clear the
terrorist
Thret is a modern fear there are no jobs for the young
They turn to crime turn to drugs battle ships crowd the sea
16 year old in the army our jails are filled
To the max discrimination against the blacks
Russian and american war machine will destroy mankind's
Dream they shoot their missiles in the air they do not
Care they do not care guerrila armies rule the street
no more Christmas or trick or treat is this what
The future will bring I pray for peace more than anything
The solution to peace isn't clear the terrorist threat
Is a modern fear there is no future for the youth
There is no hope for the young death destruction
Bombs galore the rich are laughning at the poor
Our jails are filled to the max
Discrimination agains the blacks
HUMANKIND 2.41 (Richie
Ramone)
Humankind, it's not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, it's a test, to see who's the very best
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see
People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, NO MORE
Humankind, it's a shame, some don't even know their name
Humankind are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, don't know why, no one cares who lives or dies.
Humankind, don't look at me, look at yourself, what do you see
People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, NO MORE
Tell me, tell me, who's to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, what's so wrong, if humans just got along
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is
what we nedd - (oh)
People - always tellin' lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin' at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin' behind your back, most of them drive a Gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE,
People - yeah
People - yeah
ENDLESS VACATION 1.45 (Dee Dee
Ramone/Johnny Ramone)
Endless vacation (4 x)
I kill myself kill the pain a suicide death
A suicide game my skull he's bleaching
In the dust my rage turns to insade lust
All depressed all alone I drift into the
Danger zone deadly spitten cobra life of crime
I want revenge I want what's mine
Endless vacation (4 x)
Like takin' Carrie to the high school prom
Something always goin' wrong hair trigger temper
Tormented mind deadly spitten cobra I am the losin' kind
The heart is the place devils congregate when you're
Raised on andiet of bickering at hate hair trigger
Temper tormented mind deadly spitten cobra
I am the losin' kind
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Endless vacation (8 x)
