1.Decadence Dance
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
'Francis!
Francis! Be careful!'
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
Running a rat racing won by our noses
Always put one foot in front of the other
And dance to the beat of the dacadent drummer
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance
It's hard to stop once the music gets started
'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance
2.Li'l Jack Horny
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Mother Goose
Never should haver ever let that Jack get loose
But that little boy blue
Keeps messing all the things he gets his hands into
Now look what you've done
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum
Mama says, 'Boys will be boys'
That's Li'l Jack Horny
Mama says 'Boys will be boys'
That's Li'l Jack Horny
Jack and Jill
Went up and down and up and fooled around the hill
Now only time will tell
How late the rabbit will arrive in wonderland
Now look what you've done
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum
Mama says, 'Boys will be boys'
That's Li'l Jack Horny
Daddy says 'Don't need no birth control'
That's Li'l Jack Horny
3.When I'm President
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
I remember it well
I was just about three
My dad said
'Son what do you want to be?'
It didn't ring no bells but I said
'Daddy I'm a bit too young what do you want from me?'
I'm much older now
I'm almost a man
I can do anything, you bet I can
Raise a family
Now wouldn't that be grand
So sorry but I got bigger plans
You can be anything in the world today
Something like a preacher, a teacher
A baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the USA
The American Dream
As far as the eye I say can you see
I want to be
I want to be the leader of the country
When I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm President
When I'm President
You can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent
President
First things first we're gonna change the rules
Better listen up all you boys and girls
Your president says there'll be no after school
So vote for me wouldn't that be cool
Yeah! Yeah!
Now I know there's trouble in the Middle East
I'll spend all the money when I stop the Arms Race
All my brothers in the desert
Gonna have themselves a feast
When that's done then we'll start on world peace
So go ask Alice
Cos you know what he said
What did he say?
Remember, 'I wanna be elected'
4.Get The Funk Out
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
If you don't like what you see here
Nobody wants to take you prisoner
So let me make it nice and clear dear
The exit is right there
I don't mean to be rude dude
But you'd better change your attitude
I don't like what I see here

No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun
If you don't like what you see here
Get the funk out

But everybody cannot please me
That's why I do what I want to
So why don't you do, do it to, do it to me, hey
So if you don't like what you see here
You can always leave the country
I don't like what I see here
You're all invited to the party
You know you didn't have to come
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun

Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
He man woman hater
He man woman hater
He man woman hater

5.More Than Words
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words

7.It(s A Monster)
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Everbody was born in it
Shure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
Whether or not they're full of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster
It started when I played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that once you've been bit
You can't seem to get rid of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster
8.Pornograffitti
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Sex!
Sex on the brain
Pumped in my veins
Flowing from my head to my feet
Sex on TV
Rotation heavy
You and I are what we eat
Sex when I'm all alone
It calls me on the phone
Can't stop this ringing in my ear
Sex in excess
Filling all our senses
Keep saying there's nothing to fear
Can't you read the writing on the wall
Can't you seee the rising and the fall
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See no, hear no
All I speak pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil
Sex in 3D
No evil eyes see
Too much of it and you'll go blind
Sex education
Misinformation
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
Sex it surrounds me
Pornograffiti
It's all so constitutional
Sex is literate
Read all about it
But censor where you all can go
Can't you read the writing on the wall
Can't you see the rising and the fall
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See no, hear no
All I speak pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil
Sex sells
9.When I First Kissed You
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
New York City can be so pretty
From a bird's eye view
Because up there
Yeah, that's where I first kissed you
A modern day romance
A perfect performance
Acting like two fools
Saying silly things
Whisper sweet nothings
Live young lovers only do
I was shaking
You were breathtaking
Like the Empire State
My voice was so far
Not quite Sinatra
Singing songs so great
The clock struck one
The night still very young
In the city that never sleeps
Then a whirlwind blew
When I first kissed you
nearly swept me
Swept me off my feet
When I first kissed you
That's when I knew
I was in love
Because up there
Yeah, that's where
I first kissed you
10.Suzi (Wants Her All Day What)
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Sexy Suzi
Losing all her sleep
Feeling ver hungry
She's got her tongue in cheek
Sweet and sour
A bitter tasting treat
It's the only flavor
I think she likes to
She likes to eat
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day
Hard rock candy
Coated cavities
Licking lollipoppers
As long as she says pretty please
You'd better mind your manners
Little Red Riding Hood
Got a healthy appetite
So don't be scared big bad wolf
I think she doesn't
She doesn't bite
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day
Try this tongue twister on for size
Suzi sells seashells on the seashore
Suzi sells seashells on the what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day

12.He-Man Woman Hater
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
'No Women Allowed!'
Let me tell you about this love and hate relation
Between a man and a woman
And so none of you all get the wrong interpretation
I can't live with them
I'm gonna die without them
Sooner or later
You'll be a he man woman hater
It's inevitable
And to become one
You've gotta really hate to love them
He man woman hater
He, he man woman hater
You know I love to hate cause I hate to love them
He man's behavior
Doesn't need no explanation
We all got a one track mind
He men have always had a sexual preoccupation
It's gonna be your place or it's gonna be mine
Sooner or later
You'll be a he man woman hater
It's inevitable
And to become one
You've gotta really hate to love them
He man woman hater
He, he man woman hater
You know I love to hate cause I hate to love them
He, he man woman hater
Can't live with em gonna die without 'em
13.Song For Love
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
I lie awake with open eyes
My love just died
I'm cold inside
Can't face the thought to be alone
All by myself on my own
Love's come and gone
I look around and see
The hearts that still are broken
I can't believe all of our hearts remain unopened
We can't go go on and on
Wit that same old song
So wipe off the frown
And turn around and face each other
Come on, come on
Let's sing a song
A song for you, a song for me, a song for love
All for one and one for all together
Singing a song for love
You and I are none without the other
Singing a song for love
You let the time pass by
Big boys don't cry
Believe that lie
A broken heart that never mends
Is this the end
Listen my friend
These walls of hate
That separate on from the other
Time to rebuild bridges of love
One to another
Come on, come on
Let's sing a song
A song for you, a song for me, a song for love
All for one and one for all together
Singing a song for love
You and I are none without the other
Singing a song for love
14.Hole Hearted
Written:Nuno Bettencourt/Gary Cherone
Life's ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kept warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
