We live in confusion times---my world is a vice

Nobody gets out alive...but you can break through the ice

Don't say no





My wounds are the open kind---I bleed every day

I pray for a change of mind...you could take me away

Don't say no





Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side

Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time

Come 'round to see you from time to time

Week in the knees and I'm busted





Some people they treat me kind...some drive me away

Some people they blow your mind...it's not easy today

Don't say no





I live on the borderline...you come from the void

I beg you to cross the line...you take good care of your boy

Don't say no





Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine

Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines

Come 'round to see me from time to time

Bring it to me when I'm busted





One minute I'm outa time...I don't fit in your game

You kill me in overtime...I don't remember my name

One minute you're on my mind...next minute you're gone

You tell me to read the signs...they tell me we're on

Don't say no...
