2. If I’m Gonna Eat Somebody (It Might As Well Be You) Check this out I’ve a basic inclination A very primal need To inspect the vegetation For an egg or centipede You know it Kick it one time Uh Welcome to the food chain Floating down the river Like an oyster in a stew Get funky one time He’s gonna eat somebody It might as well be you You’re a welcome little snack If I’m gonna eat somebody It might as well be you Can you dig it? I just can’t control this hunger I just can’t seem to cut back On my ravenous consumption I could see you as a sandwich Or a strange, exotic stew Yeah
3. Batty Rap Yo, the name is Batty The logic is erratic Potato in a jacket Toys in the attic I rock and I ramble My brain is scrambled Rap like an animal, but I’m a mammal It seems to have no effect, Doctor Get me another one! Get me another animal! I’ve been brain-fried, electrified, ‘fected and injectified Vivisectified and fed pesticide My face is all cut up ‘cause my radars all shut up Nurse I need a check-up from the neck up I’m Batty They used and abused me Battered and bruised me Red wires, green wires Stuck ‘em right through me So hear my Batty words And exercise a little prudence When dealing with Humans All of our cosmetics are non-carcinogenic!
4. Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah, yeah When the sleepy planet comes alive There’s a clearing in the jungle floor (It’s a magic thing) Where the funky music plays till dawn Life is A Magic Thing Then I walk among the flowers and trees (It’s a magic thing) And I feel the earth beneath my feet Everybody, now! Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah, yeah Everybody sing! Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah (It’s a magic thing) (It’s a magic thing) And I wake up in the warm sunlight There’s a simple harmony to life A magic thing (Ooh-ooh...) (It’s a magic thing) And I remember that air we breathe Is a magic thing Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah (Yeah!) Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah (It’s a magic thing) Just to be there with the friends I love It’s a magic thing (It’s a magic thing) (It’s a magic thing) Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah Life is a magic thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
5. Toxic Love Filthy brown acid rain Pouring down like egg chow mein All that’s foul - all that’s stained Breeding in my toxic brain Oil and grime... poison sludge Diesel clouds and noxious muck’ Slime beneath me... Slime up above’ I see the world and all the creatures in it I suck ‘em dry and spit ‘em out like spinach And pretty soon you’re gonna see me wallow in it I feel good, a special kind of horny And after dinner, I could go for something sweet REVENGE! For all those years locked in a tree! Oil and grime...poison sludge Diesel clouds and noxious muck Slime beneath me...slime up above Ooh, you’ll love my (ah-ah-ah) toxic love Toxic love I feel the power It’s growing by the minute I’ll crush and grind all creatures great and small And put up parking lots and shiny shopping malls Flowers and trees depress and frankly bore me I think I’ll spew them all with cyanide salive Pour me a puke cocktail and take me to the driver! Ooh, you’ll love my (ah-ah-ah) toxic love Mmm... sludge... Mmm... filth! Aah!.. fumes... Oooh.. cack! ‘Cause greedy human beings will always lend a hand With the destruction of this worthless jungle land And what a beautiful machine they have provided To slice a path of doom with my foul breath to guide it Hit me one time! Hit me twice! Aaahh - that’s rather nice!
6. A Dream Worth Keeping Anytime you want to be right here, Just imagine me and all this will appear You can keep this moment all your life forever near A dream worth keeping When you’re feeling lost, I’ll be your star Just reach out and touch me, no matter where you are In a world where precious things are disappearing overnight Just keep my star in sight I believe We’ve found a dream that’s worth keeping For more than just today And even though The winds of change may come sweeping, It’s still a dream worth keeping So don’t let it fade away Maybe you’ll be in some distant land Feeling all alone, but I’ll be close at hand And every time you see a rainbow paint the sky behind the rain, You’ll be here again I believe We’ve found a dream that’s worth keeping For more than just a day And even though The winds of change may come sweeping, It’s still a dream worth keeping So don’t let it fade away Some day, you might be thinking That life has passed you by Your spirits might be sinking With hope in short supply And that’s the reason why That’s the reason why I know this dream’s worth keeping As long as it will stay And even when you see the darkness come creeping, A dream worth keeping Will never fade away...
7. Some Other World You stare through a tunnel of Solid wall that should be broken down And you can’t see the field of green Has been turned into a raging battleground And you’ll live with the consequence Tell me why don’t you understand? There’s a boat bound for paradise If you hurry you can ride it back You’ll destroy all the love that’s been created Be a miser with an empty hand And it’s all such a simple thing, changing everything Listen to the one who brings all this love to you Some other world, some other world, that’s where you live Some other world, some other world, that’s where you live Don’t you care, stop and think about us and what you feel I’ll be there, don’t you cut yourself off from what is real Don’t live in some other world You don’t live in some other world Oh, but it’s all such a simple thing, change is everything Let me be the one who brings all this love to you Some other world, some other world, that’s where you live Some other world, some other world, that’s where you live Don’t you care, stop and think about us and what you feel I’ll be there, don’t you cut yourself off from what is real Don’t live in some other world, in some other world Oh you don’t live in some other world, in some other world Got to stop living in some other world Let me help you with a change of mind And it’s all such a simple thing, changing everything Listen to the one who brings all this love to you This is our world, not some other world You don’t live in some other world Live in our world, not some other world You don’t live in some other ‘Cause once the bait hits the water It don’t take long ‘till the sharks attack
