W.A.S.P.

White, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant ?



















NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




















"We Are Sexual Perverts"

(WOW!!!!!! WHAT BUT!!!!!!!)

W.A.S.P. é uma banda de Hard Rock dos Estados Unidos. A banda surgiu no início dos anos 80, mais precisamente em 1982, tendo como fundador o vocalista Blackie Lawless.

O acronimo "W.A.S.P." é uma das maiores polêmicas em torno da banda, que em inglês é entendido como "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant", que significa "Branco, Anglo-Saxão e Protestante", foi reinterpretado pelos membros do grupo para que significasse "We Are Sexual Perverts", que traduzindo para o português significa "Nós somos pervertidos sexuais".

Os W.A.S.P. são célebres pelos espetáculos muito característicos, que por muitas vezes apresentam números cruentos, no mesmo estilo dos encenados por Alice Cooper, um dos pioneiros deste tipo de show. Neste sentido os W.A.S.P. encontram similaridades também com grupos como os Lizzy Borden ou os Twisted Sister.

LOVE MACHINE

Lady have you known me
The perfect love machine
I'm Virgo, My Leo's rising ,Venus made me King
That trail of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers
One touch you'll see

L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine tonight, tonight

What can I do for you
Am I your wildest dream
What do I move in you
Am I what I seem
My eyes they lie and you cry
Love brings you pain
And if you try to love me
You'll not feel the same

L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine tonight, tonight

WIILD CHILD

I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you

Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him when you
Run away 'cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do
I want you




A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does

I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I'm a wild child, come and love me
I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
'Cause I want what you do
I want you

I WANNA BE SOMEBODY

You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
You hold your fist up high,
And rule the zoo

Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody......to cry out

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too

You say you don't wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones

Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody.....to cry out

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too



I want shiny cars and dirty money
Lotsa rock and roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm never gettin' old

I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too


I'm gonna be somebody,
I'm gonna be somebody
