about

Put on your eyeliner. Bust out that red lipstick. Find your voice. Don't forget the amp. Don't forget the attitude. Don't forget you're a star.

Track Name: Cock Rockers
---

They say you don’t have a cock
So you can’t rock
I’ll show ‘em
I’ll show ‘em

You play pretty good
As good as a girl could
You think you, know it all
Mr. know it all

PRE-CHORUS:
Oh, oh boys you think you’re so cool
Let me tell you
There’s a new girl in school
And she doesn’t like

CHORUS:
Cock rockers!
Think they know it all
Cock rockers!
Just want control
Cock Rockers!
Gotta be on top
Cock rockers!
Just big talkers

They said Damn! You’re hot!
Shake what you got
Well hey Dick, I’m up here
And I see you pretty clear

Hey there’s your guy
Sit down, it’s show time
Well hey! I'm the band!
Guess that wasn’t in your plan?

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

They said you can’t be like me
You can be our groupie
I don’t wanna be like be you
Don't wanna play the fool

That song was outta sight
Your guy knows how to write
Sure he, writes me when I tour
'Cause he gets bored

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Track Name: Rain City Queen (If I Can't Love You)
---

There’s something about you
Like a tattoo I couldn’t heed
Now it’s something I can’t erase
And you act like you don't want me

I've got indecision
I am the young restless heart
Give me the grit, oh honey
Stop tearing me apart

PRE-CHORUS 1:
You keep testing me, pushing me, hey!
I wanna go, you make me stay
You know, like the rain you never it give up
You never, never, never give it up!

CHORUS:
If I can’t love you, then I’ll make you love me
I can’t love you, then I’ll make you love me
I can’t love you, then I’ll make you love me
I’ll be the queen of the rain city!

Stuck in the middle
I got nowhere else to go
A lonely soul in this city
Carry around my heart of gold

You know everyone I meet
Is just passing right through
Living on borrowed time
Waiting for the other half of two

PRE-CHORUS 2:
You keep testing me, pushing me, hey!
I wanna stay, you make me go
You know, like the rain you never it give up
You never, never, never give it up!

CHORUS

BREAK:
I love the rain
It won't let me be
Keeps calling, calling
What do you want me to be?

PRE-CHORUS 1
CHORUS

Can't love you
Track Name: Going Out!
---
Going out!

This is when we shine, you know
After midnight, that's the time, come on
Let's meet up around the block, we got
Martinis and girl talk, we can

PRE-CHORUS:
Turn up the music
Turn down the lights, you know
Tonight's the night I just might

CHORUS:
Go out with my friends
Oh, oh
Catch the beat before it ends
Go out with my friends, you know
Nothing's gonna stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me
Tonight!

Going out, uh oh!

I wanna be fabulous, you know
Sassy and a little dangerous
I wanna feel that cloud nine, you know
This time it's all mine, we can

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

Going out, uh oh!

We're just people trying to connect
To that one little promise of no regrets

Well, hey it's one o'clock, you know
I got the perfect place to stop
We can have the thrill of our lives, we can
Hop in my car, let's go for a ride

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

Going out, uh oh!
Track Name: Secret Weapon
---

Whoa oh ooh ooh!

They wanna know how I do it
They all want to know my name
They want that feeling somehow
They want sex, oh, and how it's made

PRE-CHORUS:
But it's a secret
Should I tell you
My secret?
You wanna get close to
This secret?
Should I tell you
My secret?
Secret, it's

CHORUS:
Love! It's my
Secret weapon
Oh, oh, oh
Using it all the time, you know
Making them mine
You know
Love, it's my secret weapon

How do you get 'em? they all ask
I wanna keep 'em, what's your game?
You know it's really simple my friend
After me, oh, they're never the same

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I got the power
I got the sex
You know
I got respect
And happiness
But in the end they only want me
Nothing but me and my
Secret

Do you wanna start the fire?
You wanna get lost in the flame?
Don't you hold back now, don't be afraid
Just take your heart and take aim with my

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

BREAK:
My secret weapon
My secret weapon
My secret weapon
My secret weapon

CHORUS
Track Name: Since I'm The Girl
---

If I was the girl in that song
You wouldn’t sing that about me
If I, I was the girl on that TV show
You wouldn’t do that to me

And If I treated you like you treated me
You’d be just a little bit angry
And if I spoke my mind, like I really should
I think I, I'd be exactly

CHORUS:
Exactly what you weren’t expecting, right?
Exactly what you didn’t have in mind
Too much to ask, too much to handle, being treated right
And it’s exactly what you’re not doing
Since I’m the girl
Since I’m the girl

If I was that girl, who was your best friend
Would you spread those rumors about me?
If I, I was that girl who talked back
Would you say “bitch” to me?

And if I treated you like you treated me
They’d say I need therapy
And If I, had a voice, like I really should
I think I, I’d be exactly

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Photoshop me in those magazines
Oh you, you envy me in those windows screens
You know I'm the girl, and I am "it"
You know I, I, I, I can't forget it

If I treated you like you treated me
It'd be a, uh oh, catastrophe
And if I, I changed the world, like I’m going to
I think I, I’d be exactly

CHORUS

Since I'm the girl
Since I'm the girl
Since I'm the girl

CHORUS

Exactly what you're not doing
Since I'm the girl
Track Name: Addiction
---

Showed you
Never cared, and ya
Found me
Someone dared
Nothing at all
Was something indeed, well is
Is your sanity
Willing to bleed

My heart raced
I can’t see, and my
Body trembled
It’s inside me
Wanted more
I couldn’t give, and it
Broke me down
I can’t live

PRE-CHORUS:

It’s gonna take your life away
It’s gonna take your life away

CHORUS:
It’s gonna take your life away
It’s gonna take it all away
It’s gonna take your life away
Can’t you hear me?

Did it feel good
Under your skin, and you
Made sure
To hide the sin
And did it
Ease the pain
When your lost soul
Was driven insane, and you

Burn deep, and you
Fear belief, and you
Fall down, and you
Forever sleep
You knew then
Will you know now
You will fail
You already know how

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

Talking to you
I was talking to me
It's always you
You see nothing for free
Track Name: Does Anyone Ask?
---

Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh ooh
Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Trying so hard not to feel so bad
Trying not to think about what she don’t have
Everyday the smile it grows harder to wear
Not a single friend with who she can share

Her dreams, how did they die?
When did she run out of time?

PRE-CHORUS:
She holds on
But for how long?
You can only be so strong
But for how long?

She’s feeling so misunderstood
She wants to be happy, if only she could
Something inside is incomplete
Only so many wishes she can keep

Breaking down, don’t break down
The heartache keeps coming around

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS:
Does anyone ask if she’s all right?
Does anyone ask at all?
Does anyone ask if she’s all right?
Anyone ask
Anyone ask
Anyone ask at all?

Yeah eh yeah
Yeah eh yeah

Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh ooh
Whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Yeah eh eh eh eh eah

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh ooh

Alarm goes off, another day goes by
She's feeling like she’s living a lie
Wasted potential, wasted time
She was so bright, but now there is no shine

She doesn’t sleep, not anymore
Can’t seem to find what she’s looking for

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Track Name: Mean Mean Man (Don't Wanna)
---

He'll break your heart
Tear it right apart
You'll be cryin'
He's been lyin'

CHORUS:
Mean mean man
Don't wanna
Mean mean man
Don't wanna
Mean mean man
Need a
Mean man ban

Told everyone I know
Watch out for Joe
He was sweet but oh
After the heat

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Where have all the nice guys gone, you know
I really want to know
Where have all the nice guys gone
I really want them to show
Us some love
Us some love

Watch out for Johnny
He's not cool
Watch yourself girls
They can be so cruel

CHORUS
Track Name: My Guitar
---

Always waiting for me
Never leaves me when things are tough
Always plays my songs for me
You know who I am is always enough

CHORUS:
My guitar, oh my guitar
My guitar is a better lover than you
My guitar
My guitar
My guitar is a better lover than you

Doesn't hold anything against me
Makes promises that won't break
Doesn't keep secrets from me
I don't have to feel like I'm a mistake

CHORUS

I know, I know what I'm fighting for
'Cause my guitar won't tell me it doesn't love me anymore

Always waiting for me
And always plays my songs, my songs for me

CHORUS
Track Name: Not 4 $ale
---

At 13 they start the game
Lured in by the promise of fortune and fame
But soon they can’t hide the black eyes
And the pain every time she cries

Out on the streets day and night
Too lonely and scared to fight
Since daddy kept her for himself
Now she has no hope for anything else

PRE-CHORUS:
If it's not your problem, you don’t care
If it’s not your daughter, it’s not your affair
There is a woman everywhere
Who's got the red-light scars to bear

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

CHORUS:
Not for sale
I say
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Not for sale
We're not for sale!

In and out of the downtown station
Handcuffs, they dull the sensation
They all smile as he shuts the door
Another one down for a quick score

You know nobody knows, nobody cares
It’s what’s coming, so it's gotta be fair
Johns get off, pimps get paid
Girls are too much work to save

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Track Name: Stiletto Rock
---

You won't hear this on your stereo
You know our thoughts the don't get much show
But our sound, it will drive you wild
We'll take you there in style

We got the power
We got the moves
We got the spunk
We don't play to loose

PRE-CHORUS:
Oh oh
We got the femme fatale
Oh oh
And the woman rebel
Oh oh
Hear the siren speak, you know
Oh oh
Hitting that beat

CHORUS:
What you got?
So high at the top
It's what you got
Don't ever stop
Keep your feet in line
Keep your heart in time

This may come as a shock, but
What goes best with guitars is...
Stiletto Rock!

Standing up, you know standing proud
So high, you can't bring me down
You know I can see everything around
And pretty soon, you're gonna hear that sound

We got persona
We own the stage
We take chances
We got feminine rage

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

This may come as a shock, but
You know what pop's that microphone
Stiletto Rock!

Hey!

Like Rosetta, Aretha, Pat, and Tina
Like Madonna, Yoko, Posh, and Lita
Like K-Hanna, Courtney, Janis, & Gaga
Turn up girls now they can't ignore ya!

That sound, it echos in the street
And it matches my perfect beat
You know it when you hear it
And nothing you can say can stop it

We gotta be the best
We'll pass any test
Got the passion
We get a reaction

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

This may come as a shock, but
But the she-jays know...
Stiletto Rock!

Hey!

CHORUS

This may come as a shock, but
The drummer and the bassist know...
Stiletto Rock!
