Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
|
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
|
Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole
|
The worse crime that I ever did was playing rock 'n roll.
|
|
But the money's no good
|
Just get a grip on yourself
|
But the money's no good
|
Just get a grip on yourself
|
|
Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
|
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
|
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
|
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.
|
|
But the money's no good
|
Just get a grip on yourself
|
|
|
But the money's no good
|
Just get a grip on yourself
|
|
And you should know
|
|
Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
|
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
|
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
|
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll
|
|
But the money's no good
|
Just get a grip on yourself
|
But the money's no good
|
Just get a grip on yourself
|
|
And you should know
|
