But you wasn't crying at all Sat me in the electric chair and flipped the switch Why you gotta act like a high ridin' bitch Now my hands are covered in your hairspray Don't you got a lighter so I can burn this away Took my heart down on the drag Brought my guts back in a plastic bag You said you wept when I took the fall But you wasn't crying at all Treat me like an asshole that just fell off the turnip truck I ain't no young man but I still know how to fuck You wanted me to suffer baby I'm suffering nobody saw me standing in the sun while the sun was setting Said you wanted another chance How'd I know you just wanted another dance You said you wept when I took the fall But you wasn't crying at all Now I got a girl she likes to hold my hand She doesn't mind walking down the street with a crazy man We get along just like a house on fire I don't feel strung up with no piano wire If I had those years again I just might take em back But then again I woulda never got on the right track You said you wept when I took the fall But you wasn't crying at all

Rock Rock 02:42
She's got an amp that's powered by a super solar battery She's wailin away on an epiphone flying v She's singin the blues in a way that's new and strange And all she's lookin for is a handful of loose change She don't got a license to play out on the street She's got a couple lookouts for the police on the beat They always come a-runnin when they hear her play They try so hard to catch her but she always gets away She's gonna rock rock dont let it stop stop Dont let the cop cop pick you up on the corner Come on lets rock rock dont let it stop stop Dont let the cop cop pick you up on the corner Now she's on the stage playin for a 1000 fans She's wailin on her guitar frontin an all girl rock n roll band In the middle of the show she picks up that beat up ol flying v She says lemme sing a song about how it used to be Back when I didn't have a license to play out on the street I had a couple lookouts for the police on the beat They always came a-runnin when they heard me play They tried real hard to catch me but I always got away That's cause I rock rock don't let it stop stop don't let the cop cop pick you up on the corner Come on lets rock rock dont let it stop stop Dont let the cop cop pick you up on the corner

What can I do baby Get in the insurance game What can I do baby Get in the insurance game Put on a necktie try to juggle Them numbers and names Insurance man save me Save me from bankruptcy Insurance man save me Save me from bankruptcy Dont leave me behind and all these bad things happening to me Got me a policy to save me Hope it save me pretty soon Got me a policy to save me Hope it save me pretty soon Cause I got no operating capital And I'm locked in a lonely lowdown little room It'll take an act of war baby To save this insurance game It'll take an act of war baby To save this insurance game Curse of the nation Nobody but each other to blame

Manitoba Manitoba is Indian land Manitoba Manitoba is Indian land On the street bench another pair of junkie eyeballs And there but for the grace of god And maybe midnight wouldnt break the shoulders If somebody had of spared the rod Round every corner is just another trap Behind my heartbeat is a fresh set of tracks And the shadow wouldnt touch me on the bottom of my feet If I could just stay in the air The rain washes over the streetlights reflection But the streetlights reflection never gets clean And standing around in the sleeping solstice Is just a handful of human beings Theres dirty hands on every doorknob Faces with pushed in smiles Cuts and fissures draining away the lifeblood entrails dragging for miles Dried blood on some empty white faces lookin for somethin that was never there rattlin padlocks hiding frozen beads and blankets whispering their unnatural prayers And up in heaven with impunity Meting out judgement and moral certainty And on earth on the business end of a shotgun Is somebody with animal eyes And nobody with money Manitoba Manitoba is Indian land Manitoba Manitoba is Indian land Manitoba Manitoba is Indian land
