One Wild Night Live lyrics

Back to lyrics home


Since this was a live compilation, it features studio tracks (and the lyrics haven't changed, lol). Therefore, I have listed only the lyrics from the songs that are newly featured on this album.


Rockin' In The Free World

Two, three, four
There's colors in the night
Red, white and blue 
People shufflin' their feet 
People sleepin' in their shoes 
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead 
Some people that are sayin' we'd be better off dead 
I don't feel like Satan, but I am to them 
So I try to forget it, any way I can. 

So keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 
(free world)

I see a woman in the night 
With a baby in her hand 
By an old street light 
(by an old street light)
Near a garbage can 
(near a garbage can)
She threw the kid away, she's gone to get a hit 
She hates her life, and what she's done to it 
There's one more kid that will never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 
(free world)

solo

We got a thousand points of light
for the homeless man 
We got this kinder, gentler,
machine gun hand 
We got department stores
(sellin’ toilet paper)
We got styrofoam boxes
(for the ozone layer)
I have been like the people, 
tryin’ to keep them all alive 
I know the fears, I know the signs

Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world, 
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
(free world)

I Don't Like Mondays (featuring Sir Bob Geldof)

The silicon chip inside her head
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And Daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
with the problems and the how's and why's 
and he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh

And the silicon chip inside her head 
gets switched to overload, oh
and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like , I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like , I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the
whole...day...down.
