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
