Act I

Automatic Superstar Part I

I'm on a roll, can't miss it
Limousine come and take me to
the show 
All I see Marquee
Black letters spelling me
As my star lights up just like a 
Christmas tree
 
And the women want, they're wanting me
And the men they want to be like me
And you want to make sweet love to me

Free your love alive
And you never thought I'd get this far
Free your love alive
I'm an automatic superstar


Girl In the World

You're playing with fire you're gonna 
get burned You play with me you better
wait your turn I'm a lit firecracker and 
I'm about to explode 
You get with me you hit the mother lode

Never find another, baby
I'm not your mother, baby 
Girl's gone and got it 
Gonna get it before I'm through

I'm just a girl in the world
I'm just a girl who knows what she wants
I'm just a girl who's gonna get what she 
wants And what I want is you
I'm just a girl in the world
I'm just girl who's gotta have what she 
wants
I'm just a girl who's gonna get what she 
wants
And what I want is you
You know you want me too

I used to have a boyfriend
He just wouldn't listen
I used to have a boyfriend
A loser musician
I used to have a boyfriend
He just wouldn't do
Because my boyfriend couldn't hold a 
candle to you
I used to have a boyfriend
He'll never be nothin'
I used to have a boyfriend
I dropped him like a muffin
Now my boyfriend's gone
Nothing's standing between us two
I'm gonna get with you

I'm just a girl in the world
I'm just a girl who knows what she wants
I'm just a girl who's gonna get what she wants
And what I want is you (and you, and you, 
and you)
I'm just a girl in the world
I'm just girl who's gotta have what she wants
I'm just a girl who's gonna get what she wants
And what I want is you
You know you want me too


Hate You For Loving Me

Hard, you make it hard, you make it hard, now
Come so far but still it's hard, now
Every time I want to throw it all away
Tell myself I'll find myself a better way
It's hard, you make it hard, you make it hard
I really mean it now

You make it so hard
Can't help hating you for loving me


The Real Star

There's a lot of love here
Hope that's what you feel
Baby that's the deal
And you know I gotta keep it real

I know a star when I see one
And soon it will be you
You've just got to do
What I tell you to

Come on baby, who's the real star
Come on baby, who's the real star
Come on baby, who's the real star
That's right baby you are

This is how we do it

Take your freaky sound
Keep it underground
Make Ôem want to put their money down

We'll start a revolution
Giving the songs away 
Then we'll make it pay
That's the Stanton Ladder way

Come on baby, who's the real star
Come on baby, who's the real star
Come on baby, who's the real star
That's right baby you are


I Fall Through

I figured it out and it's all true
You were like a cloud that I fell through
On the way to the ground, I noticed you floating 
by On my way to the ground you invited me inside

Where you would be a galaxy, and I would be a 
star It's all so far behind me now, I don't know 
who you are Days are gone and futures past, it 
all seems like a dream Of what you wanted, 
what I was, and so much in between

When you were a cloud surrounding me
I floated free
I floated free when I was in you
I floated free Ôtil I fell through

Days and days of gathering speed, it all comes 
rushing in Rise above the old mistakes, just to 
make them all again But gravity will have its 
way, just like you used to do And like it's doing 
to me now, and like it did with you

I fall through


Automatic Superstar II

Fans think I'm God, but I'm just Matic
In the band on the drums got The Machine
And I've got Stanton Ladder from the record 
company And that's the Operation Dr. Nasty

And the women want, they're wanting me
And the men they want to be like me
And you want to make sweet love to me
Free your love alive
And you never thought I'd get this far
Free your love alive
I'm an automatic superstar

Ma wants a car, I buy one
All the fans want tickets to the show
And the page of history wants my present, 
future, past Everybody else can kiss my ass

And the women want, they're wanting me
And the men they want to be like me
And you want to make sweet love to me

Free your love alive
And you never thought I'd get this far
Free your love alive
I'm an automatic superstar


Give the People What They Want

I am the one that you've been wanting
The one that you'll never own
I'm the ghost that's been haunting you
I won't leave you alone
I'm the one that keeps you up at night
The one that's in your dreams
I'm the one that tells you things just might not
Be all that they seem

I'm the dress that you were wearing
Crumpled up on my floor
I'm the pills we were sharing
Made you run for the door
I'm the sex, money, freedom
That you built your life around
And the realization
Of all these things you never found

Give the people what they want
And what they want is me
And lots of it
Give the people what they want
And what they want is me
And I love it

I'm the passionate artist
You always wanted to be
I'm the vision that the blind man
Always wanted to see
I'm the answer to the questions
You were too afraid to ask
I'm the one who's been hiding
Behind this plastic mask

I am the butt that's in your ashtray
That you can't help but smoke
I'm the cost of my new album
That is leaving you broke
I am your mother and your father 
Said your life was a joke
Armadillo in my trousers
Won't you give it a stroke

Give the people what they want
And what they want is me
And lots of it
Give the people what they want
And what they want is me
And I love it
Give the people what they want
And what they want is me
And lots of it
Give the people what they want
And what they want is me
And I love it


Give It Back

I'm the man with the master plan
We've been talking so much about
All of this is because of me, no doubt
I'm the one who's under the gun
To get the record to sell out
It's a game, baby, I can't live without 

I want to thank you
If thanks is what you're looking for
Drugs, money, man whatever you want it's 
yours But I got to tell you
And it's something you can't ignore
I don't ask for much, I just want more

You got what I gave you
Now give it back
You became what I made you
Now give it back
Now everybody loves you
And that's a fact
But it was all because of me, and that don't 
come for free We'll take the website down, 
baby You got to give it back


Give It Away

Just now, the record company told me 
They want us to take our song Sexy Mess down from 
the web site. Yeah, the record company thinks we 
should be selling the music But I'm here to tell you 
that shit's not right See that's not what we're about. 
You want to spend 20 bucks On a piece of plastic, well 
that's your deal But if you're like us, and it's the music
you want And you care about keeping it real
Just go to our website 
That's www.doctornastyoperation.com 
Where we're giving it all away from New York to L.A.
To your brother, your uncle, your sister, your mom
Yeah, we're giving it all away. Uh huh.
We're giving it all away for free. 
And it's not just Sexy Mess, now it's the whole damn 
record Cause that's the way that it was meant to be. 

See, it's not about what's in here
It's about what's in here
It's not about what's in here
It's about what's in here

There's a big old change that's a-comin'
Get out the road if you're old
Get up, get out, get with it, if you can't get down 
Then you're gonna get yours
We are the new way
And the death knell tolls for the old ways
People crying out for more and everybody say
We gotta give it away

The revolution breeds evolution
Things change yet still stay the same
Cyclic, didactic, iconoclastic
Flowing through the information highway
So count yourself in if you don't want to be 
Road kill Ð better you than me, still
A new collective consciousness
Brings with it a brand new day 

All you kids come take control
Time to break the mold
We gotta give it away
Sell your music, sell your soul
Everybody knows 
We gotta give it away

All you kids come take control
Time to break the mold
We gotta give it away
Sell your music sell your soul
Everybody knows
We gotta give it away
Sell your music sell your soul
Sell your body sell your soul
Sell your future sell your soul
Everybody knows
We gotta give it away


Who Am I

I look in the mirror but I don't see me
I look in my eyes and it's only glass
I look for a trace of what I used to be
But all I see is a piece of ass

It's a dream but is it worth it
A life but I can't have it
A soul I went and sold it
My fate and you control it
It's the truth and I believed it
Before I bought the lie
Who am I?
Who am I?

I hate what I've become
And I hate what you made me
I hate what I've done
And that no one can save me
I hate that I need you
I hate the fact that there's no one else
There's only one thing I hate more than 
you And that's myself

But I'm gonna do what I've got to do
I'll do what I've got to do 
I've done too much to come this far
But if that's what it takes to be a star

Yeah I'm gonna do what I've got to do
I'll do what I've got to do
I'll do what you tell me to
If that's what I've got to do


Motherfucker

What do you want from me, tell me
What do I gotta do to make you see
You know I love you, baby
But it's bigger than you and me
We tried to make a difference
But now we've got to make it pay
Ain't no thing, we just take down the website
I don't see any other way

I'm gonna take it off
You're not gonna take it off
You gotta shake it off
No I can't shake it off
I'm gonna break it off
Well go ahead and break it off
Don't tell me what to be
I'm gonna be who I gotta be

Motherfucker
I won't do it again
Motherfucker
And I won't let you win
Motherfucker
Don't you look so surprised
When I put it right between your eyes
 
It's not about the money, baby
You're gonna blow up even more
I only want what's best for you
And you really can't ask for more
I'm not asking to change your music
I don't want to change your sound
Ain't no thing, baby it's just a website 
And now we're gonna take it down

I'm gonna take it off
You're not gonna take it off
You gotta shake it off
No I can't shake it off
I'm gonna break it off
Well go ahead and break it off
Don't tell me what to be
I'm gonna be who I gotta be

Motherfucker
I won't do it again
Motherfucker
And I won't let you win
Motherfucker
Don't you look so surprised
When I put it right between your eyes


ACT II

Straitjacket

Straitjacket, that's how they got me
I want to rhyme but they don't want to let me
They tell me do what you're told and don't ask so many questions
They want to control me but I ain't gonna let Ôem 
See I give truth, but the truth ain't pretty
They look at me like Òhe didn't just say that, did he?Ó
You know my momma always said, got nothing to say then say nothing 
Well fuck that shit they're gonna getwhat they got coming

It's a straitjacket
They got me in a straitjacket
It's a straitjacket
I'm breaking out of this straitjacket

Dig, my rhymes are the bomb and I drop them phat
Raining down so heavy you'd think it was Iraq
Giving it to you straight, yo, news flash, bulletin
The truth is my grenade and I'm pulling the pin, 

See the future's been mortgaged before the past got spent
Paid for wars we didn't want when we couldn't even pay 
the rent Now it's the kids who'll be payin' when it's time to
do the billin' I'd be illin' if I wasn't so busy stone cold chillin'

Wannabe gangster thugs packing heat cause no one stops Ôem
Our leaders talk of peace Ôtil someone pops Ôem
The band writes the hits then the record company drops Ôem
If it's justice you want to get, well I got some

I'm bringing change, it's a masked conspiracy 
My people your problem, cause they're all coming with me
Keep your dollar to yourself, it's getting me nowhere fast
You want to get in the way, well you can kiss my ass

Your sons and your daughters all be taking my instruction
Ignorance is the real weapon of mass destruction
You can shear the sheep but you'll never get the fleece out
Over, done, through, times up, yo, peace out 


For the Sake of Rock 'n Roll

I've got a problem, his name is Matic
Baby, I can't be more emphatic
See my wrath, falls like rain
I'm the weatherman and the forecast is pain

For the sake of rock 'n roll
Matic must die
For the sake of rock 'n roll
Yeah to save this rock 'n roll
For the sake of rock 'n roll

Like MLK, Malcolm X, Che Guevara 
He's trying to upset the established order
He thinks it's hard, well it just got harder
Like those before him I'll make him a martyr

For the sake of rock 'n roll 
Matic must die
For the sake of rock 'n roll
Yeah to save this rock 'n roll
For the sake of rock 'n roll

I will tear apart his soul
For the sake of rock Ôn roll
Watch his stardom take its toll
For the sake of rock Ôn roll
Put him under my control
Place him under my control
Get him under my control
Now he's under my control

For the sake of rock 'n roll
Yeah to save this rock 'n roll
For the sake of rock 'n roll


What The...

I'm sorry I can't hear you
You gotta scream over the crowd
Everybody's going crazy
It's just so fucking loud
It's a freaking monster
The fans are bouncing off the walls
Sorry, what's the reason you calledÉ

We've got to kill that son of a bitch
I want him dead
We've got to kill that son of a bitch
I didn't hear you, what theÉ

You see how everybody loves him
My boy become a superstar
On the cover of every magazine
Baby that's where we are
I've got nothing but love for you
And I know how you think it seems
But this is bigger than our wildest dreams

We've got to kill that son of a bitch
I want him dead
We've got to kill that son of a bitch
I didn't hear you, what theÉ

I didn't mean to bring you down
I could have tried to break your fall
I never thought to wonder how
I never thought too much at all
Every time I think we've got it all worked out
Things start spinning out of control
Now I'm torn between you
And the job I've got to do
Got to find a way out of this hole 

We've got to kill that son of a bitch
I want him dead
We've got to kill that son of a bitch
I didn't hear you, what theÉ

Hey look I know we got some problems
I know the sales ain't what we figured
Yeah, he talks of revolution
But that only makes him bigger
Just give me some time, baby 
To get this record off the ground
See I've got a plan to turn this thing around


The Real Star (Part II)

There's a lot of love here
Hope that's what you feel
Baby that's the deal
And you know I gotta keep it real

Baby he's the star now
But soon it will be you
You just gotta do
What I tell you to

Now come on baby who's the real star
Now come on baby who's the real star
Now come on baby who's the real star
That's right baby you are

All I'm asking you 
Is to try to talk some sense into his crazy head
Try to make him see it's not just me
Cause if he takes of the mask, we could
all end up dead
It's not like I haven't been trying
But at this point you're the only one with a 
chance to get through See I'd never lie to you, 
and baby it's all true It's what we've got to do, 
and now it all comes down to you.


Nothing Like You

You're all I ever wanted
It's all I ever knew
To want the thing I couldn't have
The thing I see in you
When my search for faith seemed futile
I tried to find the truth
In the sound of your voice
The light in your eyes
And the dream I knew would never come true

I used to love a girl
But she's nothing like you
Nothing like you 
Nothing like you

I don't know what it means to love
I only know what it means to live
I look into your eyes and see
The love you'll never give
It's just a stupid game I play
To forget what I can't forgive
With the words of your songs
The light in your eyes
And the dream I knew would never come true

I used to love a man
But he's nothing like you
Nothing like you 
Nothing like you

All I want is what I can hold
All I want is what I can feel
All I want is to make it right
All I want is to make it real
All I want is to be in love
All I want is the love I had
All I want is to get him back
All I want is to get her back
All I want is to get it back


Well, Well, Well

Well, well, wellÉ
Looks like my girl is getting it done
Getting the info like I asked her

Your girl, what the hell do you mean by that?

Oh did Tracy not tell you who sent her
See I needed a girl who would do anything
And I mean anything I asked
And from the looks of things my plan worked just fine
So Tracy, what's he gonna do with the mask

You duplicitous fuck, as if you don't already
Know what I'm going to do
Besides she would never tell you

Oh really? Is that true?
Tracy, why don't you come sit on uncle Stanton's lap
Show our rockstar who's your daddy rich
Show Matic the sweet love we've been making

Why you miserable son of a bitchÉ

Stop It!

Yes it's true he sent me here
To find out what you would do with the mask
But the truth is I came just to meet you
ÔCause I've loved you since the moment I saw you
And I know it may seem wrong for me
To give up the only dream I've had in my life 
But if loving you is so wrong
Maybe I don't want to be right

Stanton you've fucked me for the last time
I'm not your bitch anymore, just get out of my face
You done me wrong, you screwed me over
You're a total disgrace
		
You ungrateful tramp, I gave you everything

You gave me nothing, I'm done and I'm not taking your shit

You need me baby, you'll be nothing without me
		
I'm with Matic now, get over it
		
Leave her alone, she's not your pawn anymore
And neither am I while we're at it

Don't push me man, cause I'm ready to blow

Yeah, you think you can roll with Matic?
Let's get out of here, Tracy, enough with this clown

You're high if you think you're gonna walk out that door
I made you, I can destroy you

Come on Trace, we need him anymore

I should just kill you right now

Go ahead, do me a favor
If you've got the balls

That's what I thought.

This isn't over. 
Hey Matic... watch your back.


Got In the Way

I'm so twisted I'm straight
Inside walls surround me
Straining under the weight

Of what got in the way
Later on

And it all 
Goes 
Down


Footsteps

Put a bullet inside your head
Then you'll know how I'm feeling the self-coerced
 isolation I feel inside
Could be wrong or I could be dead
A choice without meaning I'm screaming
 sit here alone until I die
Lay awake from the sounds I hear
Slow paranoia's onset makes me feel secure
I wonder why Is it real life or is it fear
I didn't see it coming I'm underwater or
am I just drowning in my tears

I feel the beat of your heart
And it sounds just like footsteps
That are chasing me
Breaking me
Talking bout how I
Feel the beat of your heart
And it sounds just like footsteps
That are chasing me
Breaking me
Bringing me
Down

Every sound a kaleidoscope
With patterns that change and
 rearrange I can't find a reason I said
In the veins where I shoot the dope
The blood rushes endlessly unstoppably
like thoughts run through my head
I'm alone here on the ferris wheel
Spinning around and around and around 
but I'm getting nowhere
Find a doctor to make me feel
Or maybe the doctor's in my head 
but doesn't want to or doesn't care

Talking Ôbout how I 
Feel the beat of your heart
And it sounds just like footsteps
That are chasing me
Breaking me
Talking bout how I
Feel the beat of your heart
And it sounds just like footsteps
That are chasing me
Breaking me
Bringing me down

Turning me
Burning me
Holding me down
Shaking me down
Shutting me down
Putting me down
Pushing me down 
Staring me down
Wearing me down
Tearing me down
Flushing me down
Sucking me down
Choking me down
Holding me down 
Hunting me down
Shooting me down
Breaking me down 
Taking me down
Bringing me 
Down


Burn It Up

Everybody gather round
We're taking Matic down
Burn it up, y'all
Step up and take your turn
Watch the rockstar burn
Burn it up y'all

Take a CD in your hand
Throw it in on my command

Burn it up, y'all
Burn it up, til it's never coming down
Burn it up, y'all
Burn the mother to the ground

Matic says 
We've got to break the law
Burn it up ya'll
Matic says
We can't buy music anymore
Burn it up y'all.
Try to teach Ôem but they never learn
Throw your CD in and watch it burn

Burn it up, y'all
Burn it up, til it's never coming down
Burn it up, y'all
Burn the mother to the ground

NO!!!

You can set the fire but you cannot kill the flame
You can burn the music but the song remains the same
You can kill the messenger, but the message gets through
Are you with me, my friend
Are you with me, my friend
You can get your music all for free
Are you with me my friend 
It's your music so go and take it 
You have the power, they can't stop it 
Are you with me my friend

No! We don't have to listen to you 

Burn it up y'all.
Burn it up, y'all
Burn it up, so it's never coming down
Burn it up, y'all
Gonna burn the mother to the ground.


Give the People What They Want (Reprise)

I am the necessary evil
You created then tore down
The pathetic parasite
You wrapped your hopes and dreams around
I'm the general of an army
Shot its leader in the back
And the finger on the trigger
Shaking too much to act 

I am the million expectations
You knew I never could fulfill
And the scorn and the derision
That you heaped upon me still
I am the righteous indignation
Crushed by the weight of your demands
Try to keep it all together
But I don't know if I can

Give the people what they want
And I don't know how much more I can take it
Give the people what they want
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Give the people what they want
Is this what I always wanted to be?
Give the people what they want
And what they want is...
Me? 


I Am

I am the face
That you hide behind
I am the face         
That you'll never find
I am the face
That you want to see
I am the face
And the face is me

I am the blood
Rushes through your veins
I am the blood
Flushing down your drain
I am the blood
You're about to see
I am the blood
And the blood is me

What you want from me, my life
Just look inside me
What you want to see, my knife
Put it inside me
What you want from me, my life
Just look inside me
What you want to see, my knife
Put it inside me


Shine

I am not who you think I am
That's something I'll never be
You think you know but what you really know
Has nothing to do with me
You only get one chance in this life
This is my shot, I'm gonna make it right
With the truth that I long ago left behind

I used to think it was about the dream
Never thought much about the cost
Now I know it's not about what you get
It's all about what you lost
I'm not gonna go on living this lie
Face in the mirror gonna testify
To the truth and the love like a light that shines
And let it shine

What I want is love
To shine down on me

Gave you all that I had to give
But it was never enough
What I wouldn't have given to know then what I 
know now That baby it's all about love
All I ever wanted was to change the world and
change your mind
But the only real change is what comes from 
inside With the truth and the love like a light
that shines And let it shine.

What I want is love
To shine down on me 


Sexy Mess

Cameras ignite like AKs in a firefight 
Versace, Prada waifs 
That's what I'm talking Ôbout

All glam and glitz, a visceral mix
Built like pixie sticks
That's what I'm talking Ôbout

Tonight I'm going out like Victor Murphy
Tonight I'm gonna fit into that dress
I will not be undermined by the size of my behind
I am such a sex...
I am such a sexy...
I am such a sex...
I'm such a sexy mess!

Techno blasts through Bose, five figures one pose
Monday's cover of Vogue
That's what I'm talkin' bout

No need for gym, hips boyishly thin
Mile high metabolism
That's what I'm talkin' bout 

I am the envy of both friends and enemies
The hottest thing since original sin, yes
I will not be undermined by the size of my behind 
I am such a sex...
I am such a sexy...
I am such a sex...
I'm such a sexy mess
