You ain't goin' nowhere

Gonna sit by this pool until you fall in

Didn't know what you were getting into

When you walked into this room

Did you, kid?



We got some girls over here

We got some boys over there

And they're here just for your fun



So have some dinner, baby

Play some records

Just remember one thing, son



CHORUS

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll



You know my head is sweating

I can't dance and I can't relax

Outside is too threatening now

I've come this far and I can't go back



Call up some old friends

Call up some strangers

Get me used to that French telephone

Donna Donna, educate me

But tell those girls that I'm not alone



CHORUS



BRIDGE

Take my life and take my soul

Put me on the cross for all to see

Put my name around my neck

Let those people throw stones at me



This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll
