Ramones Lyrics : What a Wonderful World

see trees of green,red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.
and I say to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
The bright sunny days,the dark sacred nights,
and I say to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces of people walking by.
I see friends shaking hands sayin' "how do you do?".
They're really saying "I love you".

I see babies cry,I watch them grow,
they'll learn much more than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Ramones Lyrics : Substitute

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

Ramones Lyrics : Out Of Time

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

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Ramones Lyrics : The Shape Of Things To Come

There's a new sun Risin' up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice Sayin' "we're not afraid to die"
Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

There are changes Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come
The future's comin' in, now Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long

There are new dreams Crowdin' out old realities
There's revolution Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe It's blind and deaf and dumb
(But) nothing can change the shape of things [4X]
To come

Ramones Lyrics : Somebody To Love

When the truth is found to be lies And all the joys within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to
love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes And your mind is full of red
Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to
love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his But in your head baby i'm
afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to
love

Tears are running ah running down your breast And your friends baby
they
treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to
love

Ramones Lyrics : When I Was Young

The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard When I was young When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls I had a that yen
And I had quite a ball When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful and laughter much
louder, yeah
When I was young When I was young

I met my first love at thirteen She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot When I was young When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful and laughter much
louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

My faith was so much stronger then I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then When I was young
When I was young When I was young...

Ramones Lyrics : 7 And 7 Is

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

One... Two... Three... Four!

Ramones Lyrics : My Back Pages

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 foundation deep, somehow
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
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
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Ramones Lyrics : Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm,
I know; it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin' down like water
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it can't stop, I wonder
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Yeah!
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day
Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm,
I know; it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin' down like water
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Ramones Lyrics : Surf City

I bought a pretty cool wagon and we call it a woody
Surf City, here we come
You know, it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody
Surf City, here we come
Well, it ain't got a backseat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
And we're goin' Surf City, 'Cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
They say they never roll the scoops, because there's always something
goin'
Surf City, here we come
You know, they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City, here we come
Well it's two swingin' honey for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye
And we're goin' Surf City, 'Cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah we're goin' Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're goin' Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
And if my woody breaks down, I'll get somewhere as a surfer
Surf City, here we come
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet-suit
Surf City, here we come
And when I get to Surf City, I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for surfer girls

Ramones Lyrics : Censorshit

Tipper, what's that sticker sticking on my CD?
Is that some kind of warning to protect me?
Freedom of choice needs a stronger, stronger voice.
You can stamp out the source, but you
Can't stop creative thoughts.
Ah, tipper come, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, it's just
a smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.
Hey, hey all you, all you senators wiwes,
Better take a good look at your own lives
Before you go preaching to me
Your definition of obscenity.
Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, it's just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.
The irony it seems, it seems to me. It's un-american
policy. Yeah, we've come so far but still only to find
people like you with ignorant minds.
Ah, tipper come on, ain't you been getting it on?
Ask Ozzie, Zappa or me.
We'll show you what it's like to be free.
Ah, tipper come on, it's just
A smoke screen for the real problems:
S&L deficit, the homeless, the environment.

Ramones Lyrics : The Job That Ate My Brain

Out of the bed at 6:15 In a rush and you can't think
Gotta catch the bus and train I'm in a rush feelin' insane
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Go to work, it's such a drag Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie I look so lame I wanna die
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I punch the clock at 9:05 I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me I'm last in line for prosperity
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Five o'clock rolls around I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enought hours in the day There's go to be a better way
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I can't take this crazy pace I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain

Ramones Lyrics : Poison Heart

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.
There's danger on, every corner but I'm 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 reallt takes it's 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.

Ramones Lyrics : Anxiety

Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Always stiff, all day long.
Nothing's right till it's all wrong.
It makes no sense until I'm tense.
Always laughing at your expense.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Always biting on my nails.
Always stiff, it never fails.
Now I think I'll pick my nose,
wipe it on my sweaty clothes.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me happy.
Always screamin' at someone.
Got a temper like a gun.
Hair trigger personality.
Anxiety, anxiety, keeps me hap-happy.br>
(bridge)
And I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
I'm crazy, zrazy, crazy in a crazy world.
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
A-N-X-I-E-T-Y
Anxiety keeps me high,
cross my heart and hope to die.
ANXIETY
ANXIETY
ANXIETY
ANXIETY

Ramones Lyrics : Strength To Endure

Walking through the cross fire heart
Feeling heavy and hopeless. Wonderin' how I ever
Will see through this darkness.
Every drop of blood can be so beautiful,
And I sure was bleedin' the drops by the bucketful.
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure because... because...
I'm not afraid to tell her just how things work.
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane.
Always looking over my shoulder.
She said, "There's something about you,
And neon lights always glow hot.
Baby we can see this through, just give me
All the strength you've got."
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure because... because...
I'm not afraid to tell her just how things work.
Ride a hurricane through the fast lane.
Always looking over my shoulder.
She said, "There's something about you,
And neon lights always glow hot.
Baby we can see this through, just give me
All the strength you've got."
I have the strength to endure and all the love so pure.
I have the strength to endure because... because...

Ramones Lyrics : Take It As It Comes

Time to live, time to lie.
Time to laugh, time to die
Take it easy baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want
to love to last and you've been moving
much too fast.
Time to walk, time to run.
Time to aim your arrows at the sun.
Take it easy baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want
to love to last and you've been moving
much too fast.
Glorious blow. You like it more and more.
Take it as it comes. Mission lies it anymore.
Take it easy baby.
Take it as it comes.
Don't move too fast if you want
to love to last and you've been
moving much too fast.
Moving much too fast.
Moving much too fast.

Ramones Lyrics : Main Man

When i start movin', you see a blur.
Get hooked on me baby, there ain't no cure.
I've always been able to laugh at fate.
Two brown eyes filled with hate.
I'm the man who makes the street his home
And my lean mean hearts is just as hard as stone.
Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.
Spend my time in a cold jail cell, shootin' up poison
And livin' in hell and I never care what people think,
My history's 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, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.
What happens to me is my own affair.
If you don't like me, I really don't care.
'Cause no one's been what I've been through,
And I don't do what people want me to do.
I'll fight you till the bitter end,
And then I'll screw your little girl friend.
Oh, I'm my main man.
Don't want nothing from no one.
I'm my main man.
Always ready for what ever's gonna happen.

Ramones Lyrics : Tomorrow She Goes Away

Infatuation, she's a fatal attraction
Hang around, screw up my mind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

Danger's intriguing, but I don't want to die
Got to leave this psycho behind
I hope I've seen her for the very last time

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay

Over my shoulder, I keep looking back
I feel a presence following me
So I know I'll never be free

And I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't wait another day
I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow she goes away - ay, hay
