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
