Needle to the Groove
Party people in the place to be
This is Mantronix with MC Tee
Devoted, promoted, we′re the brothers who wrote it
Giving you a second tape so we made you record it
Needle to the groove
We got the needle to the groove
We got the beat that'll make you move
(With the grand DJ, the swift on sway)
We got the rhymes that′ll help the groove
Now he's the best MC, the T-twice-E
Well, that's me, T-Ski, never coppin′ a plea
Always willing, high sea in society
KuMa the two-to-one ruler, does stay cooler
Use it on the dudes that play the fool′a
Most are obvious, our motive is to do what's right
And now the party people is to rock the mic
As into rock the place, and go for ace
You see the shocker unexpected like a can of mace
I say the play, play the role, yeah, to have control
′Cause he get, get to go, you have to pay that toll
Like sweat with sex, or time with crime
Like the one to ten racer of a mastermind
But dedicated to rhyme, sweet, tender and kind
And when it comes to making music I could never be blind
'Cause I′m the true prince rocker, won't dare stop′a
Guaranteed warranty they'll make your body rock shocker
All night, that's right, like a whiff from a pipe
Make you do the ill shit to the broad daylight
I make you take a quick freeze, walk in the breeze
Think you′re Mr. Bojangles while you dance on your knees

Needle to the groove
We got the needle to the groove
We got the beat that′ll make you move
For MC's, I′m retirin'; for the ladies, I′m relyin'
To create, demonstrate, love is better than hate
To propose on all those who don't have faith
That if you just participate, you will accelerate
Vibrate with a mate on a date I can say
Like the skies are blue, we′re here for you
Much better than ever with a sweet review
Of our style, made to rise, very sure to tantalize
No disguise, just when I wanna, wanna to surprise
For you, and you know it, move your body and show it
Let me see it while you′re free, it's the time to expose it
With the rhythm that′s provided, psychologically guided
To release intense heat from your body, can't hide it
You don′t fight it, this superior sonic delighted
Just get up on the floor and try it
With the heat from your body ignited
Like a flame, you won't feel the same
It′s like an everlasting torch that burns in the rain
'Cause like the force of a comet, there's no way you can stop it
We′re the crew of ′85 that's called Mantronix of us first
HA!
We′ve got two turntables and a microphone
Now here's our name that we′re proud to own
One's Mantronik, the other one′s Tee
We're here to rock the house and bring defeat to agony
Like a broken collarbone, a knee dislocated
We came a long way, we're never outdated
Beating for a while, these cats are at surrender
When you think of number one, you′ll think
We got the needle to the groove
We got the beat that′ll make you move
For MC's, I′m retirin'; for the ladies, I′m relyin'

I’ve never seen the world so insane before
I’ve never seen the world so insane before by Death Menace July 13, 2022
Big Shot
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You and to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
And the story of your latest success
Kept 'em so entertained
Oh, but now you just don't remember
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to prove it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you

So much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night

Kung-Fu Fighting
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, let's get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Make sure you have expert timing
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning
Keep on, keep on, keep on

Easier Said Than Done
My friends all tell me
Go to him, run to him
Say sweet lovely things to him
And tell him, he's the one
Deep in my heart I know it
But it's so hard to show it
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
My buddies tell me
Fly to him, sigh to him
Tell him I would die for him
And tell him, he's the one
Although he gives me a feeling
That sets my heart a-reeling
Yet it's easier, easier said than done
Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him, he's the one
I got a love so true
And yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Go to him, run to him
Say sweet lovely things to him
And tell him, he's the one

Little Honda
Go!
I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you.
We're goin' down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do.
Put on a ragged sweatshirt, I'll take you anywhere you want me to.
First gear, it's all right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Second gear, I'll lean right (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Third gear, hang on tight (Honda, Honda, go faster, faster)
Faster, it's all right.
It's not a big motorcycle,
Just a groovy little motorbike.
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys,
That two-wheeled bike.
We'll ride on out of the town
To anyplace I know you like.

We'll ride on out of the town
To anyplace I know you like.
It climbs the hills like a Matchless,
Cause my Honda' built really light.
When I go in to the turns
Better hang on tight.
I'd better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Little Honda tonight.

Revenge
Pushed me off the dirty floor
You watched as my head hit the floor
You watched as I rolled round and round
You watched as I came tumbling down
You watched as I rolled down the stairs
You never wished me - fare thee well!
You watched as I got on my feet
I ran towards her and she started to plead, no!
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again, ho, ho!
You watched as my head hit the floor
You watched as I rolled round and round

Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again, ho, ho!
Far below original sin
Far below the state I'm in
Far below malicious crimes
Far below her for the time
Far below
Far below
Far below is the place you'll go, ho!
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again, ho, ho!
Oh went through the window, quiet as a mouse
No sound was stirring throughout the house
I'd heard a noise that made me startle
But I kept on walking down the corridor
Yes the corridor
Yes the corridor
And there you were with a man once more, no!
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again and again and again, ho, ho!
