QUIET RIOT LYRICS

1. Main Attraction

There's a light at the end of the tunnel – it's rock and roll
There's no fight – words into action – your life is your own
The curtains rising – take the thunder – it's yours to hold
(I say) let's celebrate it – we can generate it

The main attraction – satisfaction
Guaranteed to rock the chains that bind you

Keep the faith – your time has come feel the beat
Don't play safe – the sky is the limit – no need to retreat
So take your best shot – and place your bet on what you know (nothing to lose)
The stage is set now – you've got the know how

(for the) main attraction – satisfaction
Guaranteed to rock the chains that bind you
The main attraction – your reaction
Guaranteed to leave your tracks behind you

In the end – we'll stand in the spotlight – we are the show (here we go)
We'll defend – here's the performance – it's all we know
We've captured the moment
The power and the glory – is ours to hold (and we'll never let go)
It's a celebration – the instigation

It's the main attraction – satisfaction
Guaranteed to rock the chains that bind you
The main attraction – your reaction
Guaranteed to leave your tracks behind you

2. The Wild And The Young

Times are changing – nothing stays the same
For this jukebox generation
Into fashion – their computer games
Modern day communication
The news of today – will fade in tomorrow
They are the strong – they'll survive

[Chorus]
The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run
The wild and the young

Yeah
Hah!

Burning passion – with no guilt or shame
It's accepted education
Misbehaving, no regrets – no blame
With a bold kind of sophistication

So close to the edge
And high on the wire
They are not wrong
They're alive

[Chorus]
The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run
The wild and the young

Ha!

So close to the edge
And high on the wire
They are not wrong
They're alive

Look out!

Wild, wild
The wild and the
Young, y-y-y-young

The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run

The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run
The wild and the young

Oh yeah

The wild and the young
Oh

Right

3. Twilight Hotel

Midnight masquerade
An assortment of fantasies
Never ending from room to room

Dressed up for charades
Every guest has a part to play
And their roles are understood

Undercover – a secret rendezvous
They won't discover – that it's me and it's you

At the Twilight Hotel
Check your soul at the door
They've got memories to sell
And so much more

Last call at the bar
Fast-talking and promises
Never reading between the lines

A scene so bizarre
Such a twisted reality
This place full of manic minds

It's like a dreamland – with time standing still
So make your big plans – they've got all the frills

[Chorus:]
At the Twilight Hotel
Check your soul at the door
They've got memories to sell
And so much more
In the Twilight Hotel
Cries of life still echo
It's a twilight magic spell
Where anything goes

Undercover – a secret rendezvous
They won't discover – that it's me and it's you

[Chorus]

4. Down And Dirty

She's a dancin' girl who brings out the heat
Inside all the men
She knows how to move and make you feel
Like you wanna get into sin

On top of the bar she was going real far
Really made me catch my breath
When I saw what she had, I knew I'd be glad
To get down – a duel to the death

Down and dirty – you're down and dirty
She's down and dirty – you're down and dirty

Situation erect; thought I'd get direct
Talking dirty was the girl's forte
Whispered in my ear what I wanna hear
Come with me baby; let's play – ole

She went to the back to get her traps
My sixth sense was bothering me
She kept her word; somethin' I heard
Things were gonna get kind of mean

Down and dirty – she's down and dirty
Get down and dirty; get down – down and dirty

Well, there was somethin' a-goin' on
Something I'd never known before
Leather and lace is all that I could see
I lost my power of will
You know she shook me still
Never thought I'd get in oh so deep

I started to plead; have mercy on me
I'm feelin' just a bit distressed
What you're doing to me is so obscene
Got myself into a mess

She started to dance; I grabbed my pants
Found my way to the door
Hot on my trail, a thousand females
Screaming “Baby, More more more!”

Down and dirty – down and dirty
Down and dirty; low down and dirty

Get down and dirty – get down

Get down and dirty; get down – down and dirty

5. Rise Or Fall

Take action – gotta raise a fisted glove
Domination – can't continue acting like doves
You're serving others intents
With only words for defense
There is no freedom to speak

Rise or fall
You're the ones who make the stand
Rise or fall
Take the word from this promised land

Your reaction – sticks and stones are no match for steel
This rebellion – win or lose, it's in your hands
Now listen – so it's called apartheid
Do you know what that means?
Is it a separate nation?

[Chorus:]
Rise or fall
You're the ones who must take the stand
Rise or fall
Take the word from this promised land

Strength in numbers can alter your fate
Take the action before it's too late
Make a stand

[Chorus]

Rise or fall
You're the ones who must take the stand
Rise or fall
Take the word; take the word from this land

Rise or fall

6. Put Up Or Shut Up

She's got hurricane eyes
And you know what she sees
She's got love in her thighs
And she gives it for free

She makes it shiver and shake
And don't need no advice
She won't put on the brakes
And you be her device

She's gonna tease you, up and down now
Gonna play for keeps

I said put up – or shut it up – now
Put up – or shut it up

She's got hounds on her trail
And they follow her scent
She's the kind of female
That don't need no consent (she's wild)

She's got a license to thrill
And she shoots from the hip
Takes your power of will
And your passion is sure to drip

Here's a package built for speed now
What will be the price?

I said put up – or shut it up – now
Put up – or shut it up

Want a piece of the action
And I don't want to be teased
Gotta feel the connection
She's turning on the heat

She's got hurricane eyes
And you know what she sees
She's got love in her thighs
And she gives it all away for free

She's gonna tease you, up and down now
Gonna play for keeps

You've got to put up – or shut it up – now
I said put up – or shut it up – now
Why don't you put it up – or shut it up?
Why don't you put it up – or shut it up?

Why don't you put up – or shut it up – now
Put it up – or shut it up – now

7. Still Of The Night

We're not the ones to blame
Burning passions mixed with pain
Past the point of no return
Nothing stays the same

The streets become our home
Restless souls out on our own
Trapped by rules – made by fools
Chasing the unknown

[Chorus:]
In the still of the night
With nowhere to turn
We took a roll of the dice
And we learned that…
In the still of the night
Streets of fire will burn
As we run for our lives
To survive

Voices in the dark, calling us to play a part
Living on the razor's edge
Have we gone too far?

With every chance that we take
There is a price that must be paid
It's easy come and easy go
But we're here to stay

[Chorus 2x]

To survive; to survive; to survive

And where do I turn in the still of the night?
And what did I learn in the still of the night?
The fire's gonna burn

8. Bass Case

[Instrumental]

9. The Pump

Get ready…

You got body percussion – don't need no discussion
Think you know just what I mean
No words were spoken, but rules were broken
Had to be seen to (be) believed

As a preacher of lust, you gotta do what you must
I practiced what you preached
If ya got a limitation, we'll change the location
Gotta have room to breathe

I want love
Whole lotta love
Give me love (all your love)

[Chorus:]
Well let's pump, pump, pump, pump
Strike it rich – what you've been dreamin' of
Pump, pump, pump, pump
We're gonna hunt for gold – gonna dig for love

The more I get, the more I want
Blood rushes out my brain
She's got a bowl full of soul
I didn't know the girl was gonna drive me insane

She had a real cool cat – I know where it's at
Has to be the ultimate find
At the end of the score – ready for more
I knew that the pump was the prize

I want love – give your love
Whole lotta love
Give me love (all your love)

[Chorus]

I want love – all your love
Whole lotta love
Dig down for love

[Chorus]

10. Slave To Love

You're the hunter and I'm the game
Since we met, I'm not the same
The hunger in you can't be satisfied

You planned a secret strategy
To take control and capture me
I lost my will and now I'm paralyzed

Been made a slave to love
That's what I'll always be
A victim of your touch
You stole my soul and now I'm just a slave to love

It took one night at your hotel
To fall from grace – into your spell
I can't believe you brought me to my knees

You kissed me once and loved me twice
A monumental sacrifice
Your tiger's touch was hot and aimed to please

Been made a slave to love
That's what I'll always be
A victim of your touch
You stole my soul and now I'm just a slave to love

I've been used – been held hostage for so long
Is this one-way love affair really wrong?

Been made a slave to love
That's what I'll always be
A victim of your touch
You stole my soul and now I'm just a slave to love

A victim of your touch

11. Helping Hands

You've got to believe we can change the world
Don't turn a blind eye to tomorrow's world
We're on the good side looking out
Don't take for granted this silent shout

The hands of time are rolling fast
To turn the tide, we must move fast
Let's share the hope and pull some strings
We hold the answer, this vision sings

They're holding on, but for how long?
Let's set them free!

[Chorus:]
Put your helping hands together
Rocking on for survival
Got to take a stand – time to make a plan
Don't sit idle
We hold the key to the dreams
It's not as hard as it seems
Get up and put your hands together
All your helping hands

We're three steps on, yet two steps back
No more waiting and that's a fact
A call to arms – let's take a stand
It's up to you to lend a helping hand

They're holding on, but for how long?
Let's set them free!

[Chorus]

We are the thunder in the storm
That brings the winds of change
Together we can overcome and start a brand new day

Put your helping hands together
Rocking on for survival
Got to take a stand – it's time to make a plan
Don't sit idle

Put your helping hands together
Rocking on for survival
You got to take a stand – time to make a plan
Don't sit idle
