Jimmy B. Bad

Tank


I was born in "Dirty Town", early heard the heavy sound 
Of pounding drums and loud guitars on the radio 
My mama always said to me "Boy it's time for you to see 
Life is work, in fourty years you'll be a lucky man" 

But I was smart and I qiut school, started smoking, breaking rules 
Bought myself a use guitar in a "Second hand" 
My clever brain said "Well Jimmy, you are born to be free 
Let the others suck your dick, you're gonna be a star" 

Here I go, no more sorrows 
Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll is all I want 
I just piss on hell and heaven 
Meet me on the road, let's have some fun 

Fame and money, chart-success, never had a shortage of 
Girls, who scared the back of my Firebird T. 
My manager just said to me "Boy it's time for you to see 
Crazy people don't live long, learn self-control" 

I drew my 45 and shot the bastard right between the eyes 
They sentenced me to fourty years, but I didn't care 
My record company was quick and fired me, eat some shit 
Are you gonna go my way or follow the blind 

Here I go, no more sorrows 
Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll is all I want 
I just piss on hell and heaven 
Meet me on the road, let's have some fun 

I ran away, escape the law, beware the lonesome rider 
No home, no hope, no alcohol; I'm back on the streets 
And then the devil said to me "Boy it's time for you to see 
That you're doing well, on the highway to hell 

The scales were falling from my eyes, I would have to change my life 
Now I understood and knew what to do 
I cut my hair and bought myself a noble suit and silken tie 
And all the things I did before are legal and okay 

Here I go, no more sorrows 
Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll is all I want 
I just piss on hell and heaven 
Meet me on the road, let's have some fun
