AC/DC - Ballbreaker: Wikipedia Album Entry
Ballbreaker is an album by the Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released in 1995. It was the band's first studio album in five years, since The Razors Edge (1990). The album also featured the return of former drummer, Phil Rudd, who had been fired from the band in 1983 as a result of tensions with rhythm gutarist Malcolm Young. The three singles released from this album were "Hard as a Rock," "Cover You in Oil," and "Hail Caesar." The album was produced by Rick Rubin. Rubin had previously worked with the band to produce the song/single "Big Gun," which was released two years before on the soundtrack to the movie Last Action Hero.
Two weeks into the U.S. tour, four gigs were cancelled so that Brian Johnson could attend his father's funeral. During the tour, MTV cartoon characters Beavis and Butthead also appeared in the intro during concerts as well. Five of the songs were played live, 'Hard As a Rock', 'Boogie Man', 'Cover You In Oil', 'Hail Caesar', and 'Ballbreaker'.
The album was re-released in 2005 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.
The album is currently certified Double Platinum by the RIAA in the US, for sales in excess of 2,000,000.

AC/DC - Ballbreaker Lyrics
AC/DC - Hail Caesar Lyrics
He be the count of Monte Cristo
Could be a quake any day
Maybe somebody from Siam
Begin the era of a new rage
AC/DC - Whiskey On The Rocks Lyrics
I've been drinkin' all night long
So long, baby, I'm gone
Bloody Mary, give me shivers from a shot
Set up the shooters, it's time for a drop
AC/DC - The Honey Roll Lyrics
Honey roll over and lettuce on top
Strap you to the bed and make you rock
Run it up the flag, send it on home
Push you to the wall and make you moan
AC/DC - Love Bomb Lyrics
Love bomb, love bomber
It's a comin' on strong
I can't take it any longer
Come a rockin' through your door
AC/DC - Hard As A Rock Lyrics
A rollin' rock, electric shock
It gives a lickin' that doesn't stop
She line 'em up, push you 'round
Smokin' rings going 'round and 'round
AC/DC - Cover You In Oil Lyrics
I like to slip into something good
I see a young girl in the neighborhood
The way she move, I must confess
I like to run my hands up and down her legs
AC/DC - Caught With Your Pants Down Lyrics
Runnin' 'round with the wrong crowd
Goin' out on a last stand
Playin' too hard an' too loud
Bad cards in a bad hand
AC/DC - Burnin' Alive Lyrics
Burnin' alive, set my soul on fire
Runnin' with a gun, this place is gonna burn
No firewater or novacaine
No thunderstorm, no John Wayne
AC/DC - Boogie Man Lyrics
Some people say I'm only out at night
Maybe those folks might of got it right
And some people say I drive a Cadillac car
Or sell my wares hauntin' hotel bars
AC/DC - Ballbreaker Lyrics
Breakin' balls, bangin' walls
Work hard and tough, and I want some rough
Unpack my bags and take a drag
When bang on nine, and dead on time
AC/DC - Furor Lyrics
[here comes the furor]
Kick the dust, wipe the crime from the main street
Await the coming of the lord
Hangin round with them low down and dirty
