You gotta learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned
You gotta have fun, not a fix in the arm
You gotta stay out of deep water
Happiness is something you've gotta earn
You gotta fight to make (your love into returns)
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You gotta learn to listen, before you get burned

You got (the rights) and there's always a temptation
This one more screwed up the nation
Gotta have a plan, gotta learn to listen
Gotta take a stab, you have my blessing, alright
You gotta take the cotton out of your ears
You gotta start hanging on to all your (affairs)
I've lived your life for so many years
All I got was self-pity and tears
Learn to listen, listen to learn

Love Kills ( Dee Dee Ramone )
Animal Boy, Loco Live (European Version), Were Outta Here!
Sid was a punk rock king
Nancy was a broken queen
Their lives were so glamorous
Sid and Nancy were a mess
When you're hooked on heroin
Don't you know you'll never win
Drugs don't ever pay
You really did it your way
Love kills
Love kills
Love kills
We still believe in anarchy
It makes me so damn angry
Sid and Nancy meant a lot to me
You may be dead but your souls are free
Like Romeo and Juliet
You two made a pact of death
Like the needle that ya used
Sid and Nancy were born to lose
Love kills
Love kills
Love kills
Sid never meant any harm
He shot some dope into his arm
All he wanted was some fun
Now she's lying in a pool of blood
Always loaded, always high
Why did you have to die?
I'll say one thing is
It leaves me with a bitter taste
Love kills Love kills Love kills
Love kills Love kills Love kills
Love kills Love kills Love kills
Main Man
( Dee Dee Ramone / Daniel Rey )Mondo Bizarro
When I start movin, you see a blur
Get hooked on me baby, there aint

Two brown eyes filled with hate
Im the man who makes the street
His home
And my lean mean heart is just as hard as stone
Oh, Im my main man
Dont want nothing from no one
Im my main man
Always ready for evers gonna happen
Spend my time in a cold jail cell
Shootin up poison and livin in hell

My historys written on me in tattooed ink
And still life goes on tracks
On my arms
And the number thirteen is my good luck charm
Oh, Im my main man
Dont want nothing from no one

Always ready for evers gonna happen
What happens to me is my own affair
If you dont like me, I really dont care

And I dont do what people want me to do
Ill fight you till the bitter end
And then Ill screw your little girlfriend
Oh, Im my main man
Dont want nothing from no one

Makin Monsters For My Friends ( Dee Dee Ramone / Daniel Rey )
ˇAdios Amigos!
Everybody said so man you could see it on T.V.
They stood there ashamed with nowhere to go
Nobody wants them now the kids are all right
Everyday is a holiday and pushin people around
Im makin monsters for my friends
Im makin monsters for my friends
Someone caught one I could see so myself
I had to call 254 so they wouldnt blame me
We wanted to know how much trouble there was
When we asked our daddy he said its just because
Im makin monsters for my friends
Im makin monsters for my friends
I dont wanna open a can of worms and
I dont want any Spagetti-0s
And I could always tell when
Someone is holding a grudge
Im makin monsters for my friends
Im makin monsters for my friends

My Back Pages ( Bob Dylan )
Acid Eaters
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)
( Dee Dee Ramone / Jean Beauvoir )Animal Boy, Ramonesmania, Loco Live
You've got to pick up the pieces
C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children
Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to say
Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
If there's one thing that makes me sick
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

Needles And Pins
( Sonny Bono / Jack Nitzsche )Road To Ruin, Ramonesmania, All The Stuff (And More) Vol. 2
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I love, and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
And still it begins
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Oh I thought I was smart
I stole her heart
I didnt think Id do
But know I see
Shes worth to him then me
Let her go ahead
Take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please
And get down on her knees
Oh thats how it begins
Shell feel those needles and pins
Hurtin her, hurtin her
Why cant I stop
And tell myself Im wrong
Im wrong, so wrong
Why cant I stand up
And tell myself Im strong
Because

Oh Oh I Love Her So
( Ramones )Leave Home, Its Alive, All The Stuff (And More) Vol. 1
I met her at the Burger King
We fell in love by the soda machine
So we took the car downtown
The kids were hanging out all around
Then we went down to Coney Island
On the coaster and around again
And no one's gonna tear us apart
Cause she's my sweetheart
All right, oh yeah
Oh, oh I love her so.
Hanging out on a night like this
I'm gonna give her a great big kiss
I'm gonna make her mine
And everything's gonna be real fine.
Out Of Time ( Jagger / Richards )
Acid Eaters
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, on no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time
Outsider
( Dee Dee Ramone )Subterranean Jungle, Ramonesmania
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so
Everybody tried to push me
Push me around
Everybody tried to put me
Try to put me down
All messed up, hey everyone
I've already had all my fun
More troubles are gonna come
I've already had all my fun
Everybody tried to push me
Push me around
Everybody tried to put me
Try to put me down

Palisades Park ( Charles Barris )
Brain Drain, Loco Live (European Version)
Last night I took a walk after dark
A swingin' place called "Palisades Park"
To have some fun and see what I could see
That's where the girls are
I took a ride on the "Shoot the Chute"
That girl I sat beside was awful cute
And when we stopped she was holdin' hands with me
My heart was flyin'
Up a-like a rocket ship
Down a-like a roller coaster
Fast a-like a loop-de-loop
And around a-like a merry-go-round
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you're stopped at the top of a ferris wheel
When I fell in love
Down at Palisades Park
We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And when I could, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love
You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you're stopped at the top of a ferris wheel
When I fell in love
Down at Palisades Park
Down at Palisades Park
You know at Palisades Park
Down at Palisades Park
Pet Sematary
( Dee Dee Ramone / Daniel Rey )Brain Drain, Loco Live, Greatest Hits Live, Were Outta Here!
Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Ancient goblins, and warlords,
Come out the ground, not making a sound,
The smell of death is all around,
And the night when the cold wind blows
No one cares, nobody knows.
I dont want to be buried in a Pet Sematary
I dont want to live my life again,
I dont want to be buried in a Pet Sematary
I dont want to live my life again.
Follow Victor to the sacred place
This aint a dream, I cant escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones,
Spirits moaning among the tombstones,
And the night, when the moon is bright,
Someone cries, something aint right.
I dont want to be buried in a Pet sematary
I dont want to live my life again,
I dont want to be buried in a Pet sematary
I dont want to live my life again.
The moon is full, the air is still,
All of the sudden I feel a chain,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dance, I curse this day,
And the night when the wolves cry out,
Listen close and you can hear me shout.
I dont want to be buried in a Pet Sematary
I dont want to live my life again,
I dont want to be buried in a Pet Sematary
I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, no
I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, oh, oh
I dont want to live my life again, oh, no, no, no
I dont want to live my life again, oh, oh

Planet Earth 1988
( Dee Dee Ramone )Too Tough To Die
The solution to peace isnt clear
The terrorist threat 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 olds in the army
Our jails are filled to the max
Discrimination against the Blacks
Russian and American war machine
Will destroy mankinds dream
They shoot their missiles in the air
They do not care they do not care
Guerrilla 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 isnt clear
The terrorist threat is a modern fear
There is no future to the youth
There is no hope for the young
Death destruction bombs galore
The rich are laughing at the poor
Our jails are filled to the max
Discrimination against the Blacks
Poison Heart ( Dee Dee Ramone / Daniel Rey )
Mondo Bizarro
No one ever thought this one would survive.
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind.
Lock you in a dream, never let you go,
Never let you laugh or smile, not you.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
Cause everybody has a poison heart.
Making friends with a homeless torn up man,
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.
Theres danger every corner but Im okay,
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
Cause everybody has a poison heart.
You know that life really takes its toll
And a poets gut reaction is to search his very soul.
So much damn confusion before my eyes,
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
Cause everybody has a poison heart.

Punishment Fits The Crime ( Dee Dee Ramone / Richie Stotts )
Brain Drain
I hear the bells of freedom chiming
And inside my heart I feel I'm dying
Wise guys never compromise
They they loose their rights and they act surprised
Jail really cuts ya down to size
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sign the time
The philosophy of warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
You can go up, down, or sideways
Be on Death Row, counting the days
They say the answers are blowin' in the wind
And to take yourself out would really be a sin
You just have to cope and start over again
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sign the time
The philosophy of warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
Little child cries in his sleep
And life makes promises it can't keep
And then you had, had enough
You realize somehow, someway
Your destiny was planned from the very first day
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sign the time
The philosophy of warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
Let the punishment fit the crime
The footprints on the sign the time
The philosophy of warish crime
Make a man humble in his prime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
