lyrics

You’re a fool if you think I’m gonna be your cigarette
Light me up and snuff me out when you’ve had your fill of it.
I night on the streets ya you’re a real bad kid
You been walking around in town with that shit eating grin
So who’s that white lady I saw coming round you’re door?
I thought you told me she didn’t call you no more.
Now you’re half a man, half the living dead.
You can’t tell whats real or whats only in your head.

But the great white hype’s claiming lives tonight.
So take your number and get back in line

For the people’s parade.
I’m gonna end this sharade
I’m gonna take back that feeling I lack.
I’m gonna shoot down the sun,
Just give me my gun.
You’ve never lost love
Not till you will yourself to die.

Getting high in ’79 just to get your kicks
But you get what you pay for now here come the pits.
Its colder than hell when cocaine goes a pillagin’
Mama coca won’t you come and usher me in

To that people’s parade.
I’m gonna end this sharade
I’m gonna take back that feeling I lack.
I’m gonna shoot down the sun,
Just give me my gun.
You’ve never lost love
Not till you will yourself to die.
