This next song is a bit of a tongue twister

But if I get all the words

Try to play this and sing at the same time

That's what rock and roll is all about

Always the dreamer, but never the dead

You had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your head

Anyone in your way, was a spike in your side

With one hand in the wallet, you took them for the ride

You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie

Never gave them the chance to question why

If they hit on you then you slammed them right back

Never keeping their cool it was up and attack

You should have seen you when you were eighteen

You were the toughest little fucker I've ever seen

And with each downfall you turned ten foot tall

The biggest kick in the balls you've ever been

And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again

Looking for blame and you know

That he'll diagnose pain again

Yeah, pain again

Narrow the sorrow, sick of the slick

Of the doors of discovery you had your pick

If they hit on you then you hit right back

Never keeping their cool, it was up and attack

You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie

Never gave them the chance to question why

If they hit on you then you hit them right back

Never keeping their cool it was up and attack

Whoa, you're looking so torrid today, life

Has gone wild, no one blocks out the way

You even look good, so they say

A new lease of life flowed through your body today

Not that looks are all to go by, but anyway

The stuff is free and you can now go to town

Building your life up and smashing it down

Building your life up and smashing it down

You couldn't escape from this fact of life

That existing makes you a mess

That every decision or feeling or reason

Causes some sort of mental distress

You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie

Never gave them the chance to question why

If they hit on you then you hit right back

Never keeping their cool it was up and attack

Keep the cool for the fool

Keep the cool for the fool

Keep the cool for the fool

Keep the cool for the fool

Hey, hey

You couldn't escape from this fact of life

That existing makes you a mess

That every decision or feeling or reason

Causes some sort of mental distress

You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie

Never gave them the chance to question why

If they hit on you then you hit right back

Never keeping their cool it was up and attack

Building your life up and smashing it down

Building your life up and smashing it down

Yeah, building your life up and smashing it down
