Another sad sad day
|
The world's KO'd again
|
And I used to always say
|
No one could hit, like my old man
|
|
Do you really have to be so tough
|
Is it necessary to talk so (son of a bitchin) rough
|
Hey ain't there some place I could fit in
|
|
Could I find a little action there
|
Hey wait just a minute, I don't really care
|
Any place is bound to be better
|
Than where I'm standin'
|
Yeah I wish that for just one day
|
Hey ya know I wouldn't have to be afraid
|
And ashamed of its work
|
And its disgusting glory
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Welcome to the alley of the angels
|
Hey they say your eyes can gleam
|
When you can a just tell the truth all night
|
(And you can a chase them dreams all night)
|
Welcome to the alley of the angels
|
(They say) The reckless young hearts
|
Beat to (the flash of) the neon lights
|
|
Look at those kids, they're such a mess
|
Just can't teach 'em no respect
|
They want the world
|
And they want the best on a silver platter
|
Hey but ain't that, sometime son
|
The kids grew up and the world moved on
|
They're just lookin' for some place in the sun
|
So they would not shatter
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Do you really have to be so tough
|
Is it necessary to talk so (son of a bitchin) rough
|
Hey ain't there some place I could fit in
|
|
Welcome to the alley of the angles
|
