Prey for Rock & Roll Page #8
"The music doesn't move me #
# It only kicks my ass
when it goes real fast!" #
Jacki's voice:
I know, I know,
I'm a 40-year-old
woman chasing a teenage dream.
But you know what?
It all comes down this.
These 40 or 50 minutes of playing live
a few times a month.
# Asking, "Where's my guy?
Did he f*** up?" #
# No one thought
we'd see this day #
# When we all thought
he dropped away #
# The rich orpoor,
right or left #
# Black and white
died the same death. #
Jacki's voice:
At the end ofthe day,when all is said and done,
you got your band, you got your family,
and you got your friends.
- # It's a beautiful planet #
- And if you're really lucky...
# It's a wonderful life #
...they're all one and the same.
#...and after
the bar bash #
# I'm having a party
all by myself #
# I'd invite the world,
but everyone's dead #
# Shall I comb my hair?
Shall I wait on guests? #
# It gets any later,
just wait on death! #
Jacki's voice:
All my life, all I ever wanted to be
- was a rock and roll star.
# It's a beautiful planet #
- Instead, I'm a musician...
- Crowd:
It's a wonderful life!-...just some chick in a band.
- # It's a beautiful planet #
- And you know what?
- Crowd:
It's a wonderful life!It's f***ing cool!
( rock music playing )
# My life is three chords
so let me finish #
# Waited too damn long
for my 15 minutes #
# Got a skinhead on my couch,
ex-junkies in my bed #
# Roadies passed out on the floor,
the fun that never ends #
# It's true, it's true,
I'm poor but I'm happy #
# It's true, it's true,
I'm broke but I'm fine #
# It's true, it's true,
I'm poor but I'm happy #
# It's true, it's true,
'cause all this nothing is mine #
# Love don't last,
won't dig that hole #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# No record deal,
won't sell my soul #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# Love don't last,
won't dig that hole #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# No record deal,
won' t sell my soul #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# Nothing used to matter
except half past three #
# And the sweet, sweet taste
of infidelity #
# Forget about what's right
when being wrong is much more fun #
# Down and out in Hollywood,
that's how the game is won #
# It's true, it's true,
there's a hole livin' in my heart #
# It's true, it's true,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah #
# It's true, it's true,
there's a hole livin' in my heart #
# It's true, it's true,
she was bad, bad, bad #
# Love don't last,
won't dig that hole #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# No record deal,
won't sell my soul #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# Love don't last,
won't dig that hole #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# No record deal,
won't sell my soul #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
( instrumental break )
# Love don't last,
won't dig that hole #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# No record deal,
won't sell my soul #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# Love don't last,
won't dig that hole #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll #
# No record deal,
won't sell my soul #
# They all complain
and prey for rock and roll. #
