you ain't livin' in a video
you're flying low with a high velocity
that ain't what rock n' roll's about
get off that one way trip down lonely street
now i know you've been kicked around
you ain't alone in this ugly town
you stick a needle in your arm
get your foot out of that grave
don't let that one love tear your world apart
show the street it ain't so tough
quit lyin' around with a crippled
now i know you've been seeing red
don't put a pistol to your head
sometimes your answer's heaven sent
your way is so damn permanent
this ain't your daddy talkin'
your story ain't so shocking
