Big House

What kind of damn do you give?

Do you know how the other three quarters live?

You say that you do but you don't have a clue

 

Sing - oh weh oh weh oh weh oh 

Oh weh oh weh oh etc

 

You can see it on the streets in your neighbourhood

What you mean? We never had it so good

 

Living in a big house - up on the hill

We're all living it up while somebody else - pays the bill

Well it's a sweet life - as long as it lasts

Living in a big world - but it's shrinking fast

Living in a big house

Living in a big big house up on the hill  (let me in)

 

Well there's a man in East Berlin

All he wants is a ticket on a westbound train (ya see)

It's not the same everywhere but I guess you don't care

 

So we do the dance - take it for granted

You tell the truth - they don't understand it

 

In the time it takes to sing this song

Another thousand acres - will be gone

Living in a big house - up on the hill

We're all living it up while somebody else - pays the bill

Well it's a sweet life - as long as it lasts

Living in a big world - but it's shrinking fast

Living in a big house

Living in a big big house up on the hill  

Real life

You can have it - you can keep it to yourself

You can feed it to the sharks - I don't wanna know

We can only - help you if you don't need help

Oh no no no - Sorry!

Living in a big house - up on the hill

We're all living it up while somebody else - pays the bill

Well it's a sweet life - as long as it lasts

Living in a big world - but it's shrinking fast

Living in a big house

Living in a big big house up on the hill  

Save me save me save me save me etc

Rebel Heart

 

There's a revolution going on

Under your nose

But all you see is your next move 

Oh no, no my little one

My style is my own 

And I don't care if you don't approve 

 

Oh I play the game with the best of them

I'm only trying to play it smart

Don't think I'm like the rest of them 

I got a Rebel Heart

 

Well I never liked living under somebody's thumb 

Or being told what to do

Oh no, no my little one 

It's nothing you've done

That makes me wanna run from you

 

I'm a rough diamond 

You make me shine

Now's a good time

 

Oh I play the game with the best of them

I'm only trying to play it smart

Don't think I'm like the rest of them 

I got a Rebel Heart

A misfit individualist

Sometimes got to keep it dark 

So I don't shout and raise my fist

But I got a 

Rebel Heart 

 

And the world goes round

And the world goes round

Rebel Heart 

 

I'm a rough diamond 

You make me shine

Now's a good time

 

Oh I play the game with the best of them

I'm only trying to play it smart

Don't think I'm like the rest of them 

I got a Rebel Heart

A misfit individualist

Sometimes got to keep it dark 

So I don't shout and raise my fist

But I got a 

Rebel Heart 

 

And the world goes round

And the world goes round

Rebel Heart

Put it on the Line

 

You got to play the system

That's what we have been taught

To obey the eleventh commandment 

Thou shalt not get caught

So who takes the bullet?

Who gets to make the call?

And when they blow the whistle 

Who takes the fall?

 

Got to put it on the line 

Each and every day

Put it on the line 

No matter what discouraging voices say

Anytime you're weak 

Anytime you fall behind

Show 'em what you're made of

Don't be afraid to put it on the line 

You overcome resistance 

Whether you win or lose

Anyone who ever went the distance

Had to pay some dues 

A hero or a zero?

The choice is not always yours

Either way you get caught up

In other people's wars 

But you put it on the line 

Each and every day

Put it on the line 

No matter what discouraging voices say

Anytime you're weak 

Anytime you fall behind

Show 'em what you're made of

 

Can't stop now 

Not if you wanted to 

Can't go back to the way things once were

No way out 

Cause it's never over

Don't look back

Over your shoulder

Cause there's always somebody coming up behind 

 

But you put it on the line 

 

Anytime you're weak 

Anytime you fall behind

Show 'em what you're made of

Put it on the line 

Each and every day

Put it on the line 

No matter what discouraging voices say

Anytime you're weak 

Anytime you fall behind

Show 'em what you're made of

Show them what you're made of 

 

Put it on the line

Round The World

 

Tell you something babe OK

Took my love wrong the usual way

Everybody's scheming on this 'friend' of mine

Don't you worry bout me coming home tonight yeah

 

They might tell you that you see

I held my breath timelessly

I've got to leave you girl in a final way 

Well I won't carry you - I'm gone to stay 

 

Well I defy the notion 

I got a feeling it's all the way

Cause I'll be taking her baby, far away 

 

Round the World 

One love to get me through

Round the World

Oh we'll shine on through

 

Later on the telephone 

Got another quarter and I'm calling home

Got to tell you baby if you don't mind 

That it's really not up to you this time 

 

Well I defy the notion 

From sea to shining sea

I'd rather take you on baby 

Come fly with me

 

Round the World 

One Sun one sunshine

Round the World

Oh I'll make you mine in time yeah

 

Well I don't know if we'll make it

I may lose all track of time

I'll be calling you baby from time to time 

 

Round the World 

One sun one sunshine 

Round the World 

Oh I'll make you mine in time

Round the World

Sun is a shining through

Round the World 

For me and you 

Yeah - round and round we go

RTW - smiles and lies a baby cries for you you say 

RTW - you'll see people everywhere 

RTW - people care

Yeah - round and round we go

Music & Lyrics: Musker, Cawley, Tyler
