MR. BLACKWELL
Gene Simmons, Lewis Reed
[Bass only]
I never said I was more than I am
Do what I want and I don't give a damn
You're all so weak you know it makes me ill
Don't like you now and probably never will
[Rhy. Fig 1]
You cheat and lie, and wonder why
You can't sleep at night
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell
[Bass only]
I am a sinner who just loves to sin
I am a fighter who just loves to win
I know the truth about this crummy oath
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold
[Rhy. Fig 1]
You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1] (2x)
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell
[Rhy. Fig 3]
You're a victim, a real disgrace
You should be banished from the human race
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Bass only]
We'll drink to sorrow then we'll drink to waste
We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
Here's to the world and the times we're in
Here's to the kid a real man among men
[Rhy. Fig 2]
You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ end 1]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell
