I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won’t tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me something just ain’t right
I’ve been waiting on you for a long time
Fueling up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain’t heard from you in three damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can’t look at you while I’m lyin’ next to her
I found a picture of you oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Now we’re back on the train
Oh back on the chain gang.
Like a break in the battle was your part oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we’re back on the train
Oh back on the chain gang.
There ain’t no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain’t cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don’t go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain’t no good chain gang
Papa’s reading yesterday’s mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet he’s a-wishing we could go fishing
And here I am a-laying in jail
I’m handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi.
My girlfriend blows a boozy good-bye kiss.
I see flying squirrels and nightmares of stigmata.
Then awakening to find my Trans-Am gone.
Still, I’m feeling pretty good about the future.
Yeah, everything is peaches but the cream.
I’m handcuffed to a fence in Mississippi,
where things is always better than they seem.
Things is always better than they seem.
Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream;
Highlows pass as patent leathers;
Jackdaws strut in peacock’s feathers.
Coming out your mouth with your blah blah blah
Zip your lip like a padlock
And meet me in the back with the Jack and the jukebox
I don’t really care where you live at
Just turn around, boy, let me hit that
Hey baby hey baby hey,
Boys say, boys say,
Heybaby hey baby hey,
All the boys get the girls in the back
I’m the one they feed upon,
Give a bit a star is born,
And if you’re hot enough you’ll get the pass
so you can tell your friends how you made it back,
No matter what they say i’m still the same,
Somehow everybody knows my name,
And all the girls wanna get with the boys
and the boys really like it
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
I’ve got what boys want
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Down in the locker room,
Just we boys,
Beatin’ down the locker room
With all that noise,
Singin’ do you like boobs a lot?
(You gotta like boobs a lot.)
Boobs a lot, boobs a lot.
(You gotta like boobs a lot.)
Smokin’ in the boys room
Smokin’ in the boys room
Teacher don’t you fill me up with your rule
Everybody knows that smokin’ ain’t allowed in school
Checkin’ out the halls makin sure the coast is clear
Lookin’ in the stalls-nah, there ain’t nobody here
My buddies Sixx, Mick & Tom
To get caught would surely be the death of us all
We don’t need no education.
We don’t need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher leave them kids alone.
Hey, teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all, your just another brick in the wall.
All in all, your just another brick in the wall.
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Look at them toad suckers ain’t they clods.
Sittin’ there suckin’ them green toady frogs.
Suckin’ them hop toads, suckin’ them plunkers.
Suckin’ them leapy types, suckin’ them jumpers.
Look at them toad suckers ain’t they snappy?
Suckin’ them bob frogs sure makes ‘em happy!
Wanna be a toad sucker? No way to duck it.
Get yerself a toad, rear back an’ suck it!
Three green and speckled frogs
Sitting on a freckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs (Yum, yum)
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are two green speckled frogs
Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious to the water starting to boil.
No one flinches
We all float face down.
A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don’t you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we’ll float on good news is on the way.
Well, I’ve been looking real hard,
And I’m trying to find a job,
But it just keeps getting tougher every day.
But I’ve got to do my part, cause I know in my heart,
I’ve got to please my sweet baby, yeah.
Well, I aon’t superstitious and I don’t get suspicious,
But my woman is a friend of mine.
And I know that it’s true that all the things that I do,
WIll come back to me in my sweet time.
I guess all his money, well it isn’t enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn’t enough
Cause that girl’s got expensive taste
“I won’t pay, I won’t pay ya, no way
Now why don’t you get a job”
Say “no way”, say "no way ya, no way
Now why don’t you get a job
Sit around and watch the phone, but no one’s calling.
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job,
But she don’t like the one she’s got.
Well, the telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
Telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
The telephone is screaming
Won’t she leave me alone?
The telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
