Title
- Hey, if that ain't the rock'n'roll animal himself, what you doing bro.
- (Standing on the corner)
- Well, I can see that, what you got in your hand
- (Suitcase in my hand)
- No, shit, what's this
- (Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest)
- Fucking faggot Johnson
- (Jack, sweet Jane, I'm in a rock'n'roll band)
- Well, I can see that
- Some people say that you can't - (no no no)
- No matter how good you are
- And some people say, they can't move - (no no no)
- No matter where they are
- Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some good times
- Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some pain
- No matter how ugly you are
- You know to me it all looks the same
- Rain from the morning in the blue clouds
- Now just shining up with dew
- Riding through the city in their big cars
- And me, I ain't got nothing to do
- Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some good times
- Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some pain
- Don't you know things always look ugly
- To me they always look the same
- Oh, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some good times
- Oh, Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie some pain
- Don't you know that most things look ugly
- To me they always look the same
- Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know
- To me they always look the same
- Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know
- To me they always look the same
- Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know
- To me they always look the same
- Oh, don't you know, hey, don't you know
- To me they always look the same
- It's been a long time since I've been spoken to you
- Was it the right time?
- Your current troubles and you know they'll get much worse
- I hope you know how much I enjoyed them
- You're a pig of a person, there's a justice in this world
- Hey, how about this?
- Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality
- Well, more and more people know all about it
- We sat around the other night, me and the guys,
- trying to find the right word
- That would best fit and describe you and people like you
- That no principle has touched no principles baptized
- How about that?
- Who'd eat shit and say it taseted good
- if there was some money in it for him
- Hey, you remember that song by this guy from Texas
- whose name was Bobby Fuller?
- I'll sing it for you it went like this
- I fought the law and the law won
- I fought the law and the law won
- I wanna be black
- Have natural rhythm
- Shoot twenty feet of jism, too
- and fuck up Jews
- I wanna be black
- I wanna be a Panther
- Have a girlfriend named Samantha
- And have a stable of foxy whores
- Oh I wanna be black
- I don't wanna be a fucked up, middle class,
- college student anymore
- I just want to have a stable of foxy little whores
- Yeah, yeah I wanna be black
- I wanna be black
- I wanna be like Martin Luther King
- and get myself shot in spring
- And lead a whole generation too
- And Fucked up the Jews
- I wanna be black, I wanna be like Malcolm X
- and cast a hex over President Kennedy's tomb
- And have a big prick, too
- I don't wanna be a fucked up, middle class,
- college student anymore
- I just want to have a stable of foxy little whores
- Yeah, yeah I wanna be black
- We're gonna have a real good time together
- We're gonna have a real good time together
- We're gonna have a real good time together
- We're gonna dance and bawl and shout together
- Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na

- All the people had their share of the glory
- looking out after you
- It's just a story about winners and glory
- and you know that it's true
- Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
- Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
- Some men may glory from a different condition
- of another car
- And later persuasion would permit the arranging
- of a ...
- And to cause more confusion, and to make this illusion
- would have gone too far
- And it's my ambition, of a jacket ignition
- in a Cadillac metal car
- Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
- Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
- Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
- Ah ha, oh yeah, you're just a shooting star
- You're just a shooting star
- Everybody's gonna try to tell you what to do
- And never, never, never, never
- Let it be said that it's true
- Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
- Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone
- They're the kind of people that'll always let you down
- I know you, too, you don't ever give it a frown
- Leave me, leave me, leave me ...
- Don't you know some people
- They just don't know when to stop
- They can't tell the floor from the ceiling or the top
- And there're other types, they always make you wait
- And they're always the first to say
- The state you come from
- Leave me, leave me, leave me ...
- Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me forever
- Love me, love me, love me ...
- Leave me, leave me, leave me ...
- Wait (disgrace)
- I know I shouldn't, but we'll wait (such a pretty face)
- I know the time is getting late (... such a waste)
- And here is what you hesitate (such a pretty face)
- But still I really wish that you'd wait (... such a waste)
- Although the passion might abate (such a pretty face)
- And find you in another state (it's such a state)
- That will seem just as a mistake (it's such a waste)
- Oh baby, I really think that I oughta wait (such a pretty face)
- Wait (it was such a waste)
- I really wouldn't want your hate (it's such a pretty face)
- Certainly not after like late (... such a waste)
- You wanna give not only take (it's such a pretty face)
- I know propriety is such a waste (it's such a disgrace)
- But then it says you really have to wait (such a pretty face)
- Considering the present state (... such a waste)
- Don't change my mind at such a late stage (... such a waste)
- Oh baby, don't you think you oughta wait (such a pretty face)
- Ooohhh ...
- Ooohhh ...
- Ooohhh ...
- Ooohhh ...
- Wait
- Oh, now baby, how I wish you would wait
- I really wish you'd hesitate
- Oh, baby, baby please why don't you wait
- Oh, how I really wish you'd wait
- Oh, how I wish you'd hesitate
- ...
- ...
- (... someday)
