These should be easy:

It’s a dreaded sunny day; where will we meet? And who is on my side?

She hitch-hiked her way across the USA. Who was she and where was she from?

Who’s not concerned with the sick among the pure?

Going down, party time; all my friends are going to be there too. Where am I?

Should be obvious, but for the life of me, I can’t recall who did it or much of it. The next line is “till you spend half your life just a covering up.”

The happy home.

Read a magazine and then you’re in Baltimore, where are you going?  
Wake him up and shake his hand; whose hand?  
It isn’t love that makes the world go 'round, you see; what is it and who shouldn’t I tell?  
Beef is king, mom’s queen, and kids go free; where?

My apologies. I meant “god money” whatever that is. When I first heard the song, I thought the lyric was “got money?” as in “got milk?” and that gave it a whole different meaning.
