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
