Powerage (1978)
01. Rock'N'Roll Damnation
| They say that you play too loud Well baby that's tough They say that you got too much Can't get enough They tell you that you look a fool And baby I'm a fool for you Say that your mind's diseased Shaky stuff And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation You say that you want respect It's a rock 'n' roll damnation Oh it's a hard life (Damnation), they're putting you down And it's a rock 'n' roll damnation (Damnation), you left a happy home |
| I know that it's evil I know that it's got to be Know I ain't doing much Doing nothing means a lot to me Living on a shoestring A fifty cent millionaire Open to charity Rock 'n' roll welfare Sitting in my Cadillac I got holes in my shoes Get myself a steady job Sitting on my sailing boat I got holes in my shoes Down payment blues I got holes in my shoes |
| She had the word Had the way The way of letting me know She knew the game Called the play Oh she hit me low Said now you go your way I'll go mine And that's a start Doctor doctor ain't no cure For the pain in my heart Gimme a bullet to bite on Don't need no drink Gimme a bullet to bite on Bullet to bite on |
| Ya see it on television every day Hear it on the radio Ain't humid but it sure is hot Down in Mexico The police tryin' to tell me Beginnin' of the end Sayin' it'll bend me Too late my friend Riff raff Now I'm the kind of guy that keeps his big mouth shut Riff raff Do it again |
| Diamonds, and dust Poor man last, rich man first Lamborginis, caviar Dry martini's, Shangri-La I got a burnin' feeling Deep inside of me It's yearnin' But I'm gonna set it free I'm goin' in to sin city Ladders, and snakes I'm goin' in to sin city |
| Well I tied my baby to the railroad track Cannonball down the line Givin' that woman just one more chance Give it to me one more time Engineer wishin' he was home in bed Dreamin' 'bout Casey Jones Wide eyed woman half a mile ahead Thinkin' 'bout broken bones It's your love that I want Heavenly body flyin' across the sky It's your love that I want Long arm lookin' for a finger print It's your love that I want Puttin' out the stars |
| Feel the pressure rise Hear the whistle blow Bought a ticket of her own accord To I dunno Packed your heart in a travellin' bag And never said bye bye Something missing in the neighbourhood Of her cryin' eyes I stirred my coffee with the same spoon Knew her favourite tune Gone shootin' Wrap herself around Gone shootin' Gone shootin' I used to love her so |
| No one knew Where he came from He never knew himself Call her Ma Call him Pa But he was born to someone else No one fooled Or messed him 'round Cause they were all afraid Ain't no lies Ice in the eyes Of Leroy Kincaid Cold hearted man Like a snake Cold hearted man Sometimes you can't see Cold hearted man |
| Well I've been up to my neck in trouble Up to my neck in strife Up to my neck in misery For most of my life, I've been a fool And you know what a fool can do I'm telling you You came along when I needed you Now I'm up, I'm up to my neck in you And I've been up to my neck in pleasure I've been up to my neck in whiskey Yeah you came along when I needed you |
| Two faced woman with your two faced lies I hope your two faced livin' made you satisfied Ya tell me baby I was your only one While you been runnin' round town with every mother's son, hey! Two times told about a woman like you Kicked in the teeth again Two faced woman such a cryin' shame Kicked in the teeth again |
