I've gotta go 
Through the motions
Real sharp 
Wish me luck 
Rev it up 
My emotions
Gotta make myself a buck 
Just forget about the fancy words 
Don't waste 'em on a dream 
Let's make sure it really hurts 
Tear up our lungs and scream 
This is a song 'bout a scream that turned sour 
They took it away : the happiest hour 
I was screaming out for you and me 
They snatched my voice for all to see 
And I told them, "Hey, let me scream "
Help me...Help me 
Please let me scream
Help me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,
me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me! 

Life is a scream 
Man is an engine
Blowin' off steam
An engine 
With a vengeance
So they said "Hey, kid, we don't know what you mean" 
"But you sure are a riot, you sure are a scream." 
Yeah, a riot! Yeah, a scream!
Just forget about the fancy words 
Don't waste 'em on a dream 
Let's make sure it really hurts 
Tear up our lungs and scream 
They said hey, kid, we don't know what you mean
You sure are a riot, you sure are a scream 
But you are the riot, and I am the scream 
You are the riot, and I am the screeeaaaam 
eeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmm!!!!!!!!!!
