ALL OF A SUDDEN
(I AM A MAN)

I can trace it back to-
My parents
and the day that I was born-
I was born...

I grew up believin-
In pushin hard and
Taking life by storm-
by storm.

And then hey,
All Of A Sudden
I am a Big Boy -
I am a Man.

And then hey,
All Of A Sudden
Enter the real world
Enter the man.

Filling in the spaces
With things I tried for years
To understand,.. understand.

She was more than gracious
With love I lost my innocence
Again…again.

And then hey,
All Of A Sudden
I am a big boy
I am a man.

And then hey,
All Of A Sudden
Enter the real world
Enter the man.

Now I play the numbers
I gamble every moment
That I can…I can.

And here on my shoulders
I feel the weight but do not
Feel the strain... it's no strain.

MAD AT ME

Another day of blunders,
And gettin in the way,
No one has nothin',
Very nice to say.

Could'nt please the bosses,
Could'nt please my girl,
Did'nt say the right thing,
Ever at all...

Everywhere I look,
They're Mad at me.
I feel like a crook,
And they're all mad at me,
I could fill a book,
With people mad at me.
Mad at me...

I Feel like three stooges
All wrapped in one.
That Jerry Lewis
Made it look like fun.
Must 've dropped a hammer
On someone's toe,
Maybe I said somethin
Stupid you know?
Can't do the right thing
Ever,at all...

Every where I look
They're Mad at me
All creation seems
So Mad at me
I hope they won't stay
Mad at me...
Mad at me...

I'm gonna call my lawyer in the mornin
Mornin...
Before the others all decide to join in
Join in...

Feel like three stooges
All wrapped in one.
That Jerry Lewis
Made it look like fun.

could'nt please the bosses
could'nt please my girl
Did'nt say the right thing
Ever,at all...

This ain't no fun you see
Everyone is Mad at me
This ain't no fun you see
Everybody's is Mad at me

And they're always mad
And they're always Mad at me...

This animosity
Is really killin me..

Someone's always
Mad at me...
Someone's always
Mad at me...

FULL OF SUPRISES

Do, do ,do ,do..

I like a day that's-
Full Of Suprises
I like a job that's-
never the same.
I like a girl that's-
Full Of Suprises
That keeps me up
all night- playin her games...

Do, do, do,

I like when things come
In all shapes and sizes-
I like when people-
Are different than me..

Clocks are steady,
Machines too and many-
Like it that way...
I want changes,
Lots of changes-
hey, hey-
Don't you agree now?

I like a Life that's-
Full of Suprises-
I like a road with-
plenty of curves.
I like a Girl that's-
Full of suprises
But that girl gave me
So damn many it hurt....

Do, do, do...

Clocks are steady,
Machines too and many-
Like it that way...
I want changes,
Lots of changes-
hey, hey-
what do ya say now?

I like a day that's-
Full Of Suprises
I like a job that's-
Never the same.
I like a girl that's-
Full Of Suprises
That keeps me up
all night- playin her games...

FOREIGN SOIL

Go unlock the mystery-
cross an ocean or a sea,
And stand upon a foreign soil.

See how others choose to be
When they don't need thier MTV
And thrive upon a Foreign Soil.

This culture can be hard to chew
It's not what I am used to-
It's grown on a Foreign Soil.
It's grown on a Foreign Soil.

Thier ideas are old,
Thier values outgrown,
The progress seems to have stopped.
They are'nt nearly as bold
As streetwise or cold.

There are no are border lines
In the mind of a man who is free....

But life is so much diferent here
Things are not so loud and clear
Standing on a foreign soil.

They speak with such a savage force
Not so easy for dis-cource
Floundering on a Foreign Soil.

Cross an ocean of dreams
Just hoping to see one you'll know

Language is the key
That could unlock so many doors...

Books are just no help at all
reading people in the raw
Captured on a Foreign Soil.

Nothing's what it seems to be...
The Illusions are so new to me
Standing on a Foreign Soil.
Rocking on a Foriegn Soil.

I lost all my prejudices
Immigrating…

SO SERIOUSLY

Don't Take Yourself
So Seriously Now.
Don't Take Your Work
So Seriously man.

If you can't laugh
At what see-
It ain't all here
To take seriously.

You're just a "bit" part
In this great play.
You're just a small note
In the Divine Comedy.

So Don't Take Yourself-
So Seriously Now.
Don't take the mistakes-
So Seriously now.
Don't Take Your Idols-
So Seriously man.
Don't take your friends-
So Seriously Now.

Humor's a friend
When life seems grim
A physician and a nurse
To heal all the pain.

A comic device
Can save your life
And if the audience growls
You just slip em a grin...

And Don't Take your self-
So Seriously Now
Don't Take your Work
So Seriously then
Don't Take Your Love life
So Seriously man
Don't Take the Mistakes
So Seriously Now...

So Seriously Now...

All Lyrics and Music by Daniel Sage

UNLOCK THE HEATHEN

Unlock the Heathen
Let him out to play.
Unlock the Heathen
Hidden safely away.

Unlock the Savage
Let him out to roam.
Unleash the Demon
See what damage he's done...

He's been mistreated
And always denied...
His reputation comes from
The darker side...
He's been around a while...

Unlock the Bad Boy
He don't mean no harm
He wants to see just
How Strong that you are...

Unlock the Pagan
He's an innocent child
Lookin for his mommy
So he get's a little wild...

He's been mistreated
And always denied...
His reputation comes from the
darker side...
He's been around a while...

Unlock the Heathen
Let him out to play
Unlock the Heathen
hidden safely away.

He don't mean no harm...
He don't mean no harm...

GUESS YOU DIDN'T DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Beggars' don't Dress For Success.
Losers' don't Dress For Success.
Guess You Did'nt Dress For Success.
You got to learn to Dress for Success.

They say the clothes make the man.
So clothes must be in the plan.
If your gonna make your mark, boy
Then shine those shoes and learn to shmooz.

Hypocrites Dress For Success
Yes, even jerks Dress For Success
If you don't Dress For Success
Then don't expect to be a Success.

Dress Right, Look Tight. Dress Right, Look Tight.
Dress Right, Look Tight. Dress Right, Look Tight.

They say the clothes make the man.
So clothes must be in the plan.
If your gonna make your mark, boy
Then shine those shoes and learn to shmooz.

Losers' don't Dress For Success.
Guess I Did'nt Dressed For Success.
Yes, you gotta dress to impress.
Guess I Did'nt Dressed For Success...

TIME OUT
(For Rock And Roll)

If bein born is
Really such a big deal,
The why do people
Seem to just forget?
What is it to think or play
Or to feel?

Well I ain't done livin'
Just yet.

Time Out
For Rock And Roll
Honey, Let's go...
Time Out
For Rock And Roll
Baby, Let go...

It seems to me that
If the sun is shinin'
Then I got a reason
To shine too.
The fruits of my labors
They spoil so quickly

Yet work is
All I ever do...

Time Out
For Rock And Roll
Honey, Let's go...
Time Out
For Rock And Roll
Baby, Let go...

Do it...
Relax...

Time Out...

GOD OF THE MICROPHONE

Please let them hear my prayer
God,
God of the microphone...

For some, music is a Savior
And God,
God is a microphone.

Voice, give em' what you're feeling
God, God of the microphone...
For some, music is the reason
And God, God is a microphone.

The wire holds the words
And feeds them-
Too the waiting ears...
The ears get hold and feed
the mind that feeds
The hungry heart...

Feeds the hungry heart...

Hear, Hear what I am saying
God, God of the microphone.
Please, Pass along my meaning
God, God of the microphone.

Please excuse my bad behavior
Father forgive me...
Before, I would just blame my neighbor
For all this misery...

All this misery...

Please let them hear my prayer
God,
God of the microphone...

For some, music is a Savior
And God,
God is a microphone.

FEED THE PRESS

You wanna talk? Man, I'll talk...

Well this guy walks in,
He looks a little uptight-
Says he's got a couple questions
Shouldn't take all night.
I said fine, so where do we begin?
He says "Right here babe."
And plugs his tape player in.

Then he leans back, grins
And takes a look at me
With a face full of teeth, and sincerity.
Firin' out questions
Like a Gatlin gun.
Half the time I feel
Like I'm on the run.

Feed the press!...Feed the press!

Says..."I gotta lotta folks 't Wanna know your tale.
So tell me son, You ever been in jail?"
He darts in and out like a Moray eel
I feel like a minnow - 'bout to be a meal.

Feed the press!..Suppertime
Feed the press!...Could you repeat that last question?

He Says..."I got inquiring minds,
I got responsibility."
And they love to see blood
So how much do you bleed?

He says,"Feel free to just speak your mind."
"I can edit this shit almost anytime."
"I hear you're a mess, now tell me...Is that so?"
"Think of your fans, son
They have a right to know."
So I loosen up,
Take another drink, relax...
The next day I'm readin' my epitath.

Feed the press!...Front page
Feed the press!...Hungry devils ain't they?
Feed the press!...there it is...in black and white.
Feed the press!...I never said I was gay!?..

THE WORLD IS TIRED OF WAITING

Within my heart,
Within my soul,
Within my blood,
There's so much hesitation.

It's as though my feet
Refused to move-
And in my arms
I feel no animation.

But the
World is Tired of Waiting...
The World is Tired of Waiting...
The World is Tired of Waiting...
The World is Tired...

Within my room
Within my mind,
Within my soul,
There's so much hesitation.

It's though my legs,
Refused to move,
And in my hands,
I feel no animation.

But the world is tired-
Of waiting...
The World is tired of Waiting...
The World is tired of Waiting...
The World is tired...

Branching out in every new direction
Your compass has no magnet left at all
All this time is only time you're waisting
You simply have to move beyond the wall-
And the world is tired-
Of waiting...
Of waiting...

Within this room,
The sound of soul,

It's as though your feet
Refused to move-
And in your arms
You feel no animation...

But the world is tired-
Of waiting...
The World is tired of Waiting...
The World is tired of Waiting...
The World is tired...

LEGEND…(REPRISE)

AT LEAST YOU HAVE A LOT TO DO

Do do do....

Wash the TV-
Comb the yard.
Feed the dishes-
Kiss the car.

Buy the dog-
That radio.
Drop the cat-
At rehearsal..

Drink the soda-
Crackers drown.
Shave the husbands
Whiskers on.

Shove the dishes-
Out the door.
Summer heats up-
But not the pool.

At least you have a Lot to Do..
At Least you have a Lot to Do...
At least you have a Lot to Do....
Do do do do do.....

Get the plummer-
Something nice.
Put more makeup-
On the rice.

Fix the shoe-
That sprang a leak
Carve the dress-
And mop those feet.

Theres all those brushes
Left to mow.
And what about the breads
Next show?
He's probably at the meeting still-
You'll hear bells any minute now...

At least you have a Lot to Do...
At Least you have a Lot to Do...
Do do do do do...
It takes your mind off them- And you...
