Infecting the world, With MTV We've lost perspective, And collectively Wasted, Nova Cain [Pre-chorus] Hey, kid, Rock and roll, Nobody tells you where to go, baby, What if I fell to the floor? Couldn't take this anymore? What would you do, do, do? [Chorus] Come, break me down, Bury me, bury me, I am finished with you What if I wanted to fight Beg for the rest of my life? What would you do? [Verse 2] You say you wanted a solution, You say you wanted to be set free But they don't give a f*ck about you They don't give a f*ck about me [Pre-Chorus] Hey, kid, Rock and roll, Nobody tells you where to go, baby, What if I fell to the floor? Couldn't take this anymore? What would you do, do, do? [Chorus] Come, break me down, Bury me, bury me, I am finished with you What if I wanted to fight Beg for the rest of my life? What would you do? [Bridge] All I wanted was, only what's real, Mouth, motherf*cker; get real What if I'm broke? What if I'm poor? What if I'm a thief? What if I'm straight? What if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, yeah? [Pre-Chorus] Hey, kid, Rock and roll, Nobody tells you where to go, baby, What if I fell to the floor? Couldn't take this anymore? What would you do, do, do? [Chorus] Come, break me down, Bury me, bury me, I am finished with you What if I wanted to fight Beg for the rest of my life? What would you do?
