Comb your hair and put on your shoes Then you fill your eye with anything you can use Now you run and ask your mother if she minds that you stay over with friends But your sister and your brother know exactly how you're planning to spend Your night, all right Takes a little commotion Any ruckus will do Takes a little commotion now To get a rise outta you All right, get a rise out of you Oh yeah, oh You call your ride and wait on the street Now, rock beats scissors for the passenger seat Always willing to discover something other than the usual place But it's hard to find another when your town is known for limited space and Slow pace, all right Takes a little commotion Any ruckus will do Takes a little commotion now To get a rise out of you All right, get a rise out of you Oh yeah, oh Wheels in motion abound Ain't no turnin' around Using motion aloud Ain't no turnin' it down Takes a little commotion Any ruckus will do Takes a little commotion now To get a rise out of you All right, get a rise out of you Oh yeah, oh
5.	Guillotine 02:54	lyrics	buy track
You stand before the king And his eyes are glowing red First he whispers to the queen Then he tuns to you and says "Boy, you're damned if you do Boy, you're damned if you don't Now there isn't any time So decide the one you want" You take a moment While it sinks in And you politely tell him Oh, that you won't bend Oh, oh, oh Guillotine, gonna lose your head Gonna lose your head Gonna lose Well, the king begins to laugh And the queen just sips her wine While the others fill the room With the talk of their surprise Now they take you by the arm And out the door you're led As they're driving you away You hear "Off with his head!" Soon your surrounded 'Cause everybody knows There'll be no admission Oh, to see your show Oh, oh, oh Guillotine You wear a smile now 'Cause you have no choice You're just entertainment For the girls and boys Oh, oh, oh Guillotine, gonna lose your head Gonna lose your head Gonna lose your head Now you lost your head
