This is just the basic, this is not the best |
|
Everybody knows that the trouble starts when you talk all about the rest |
|
First, you went to college and then you got yourself degrees |
|
Then, you got some pretty girls to get down on their knees |
|
You took yourself some pictures and you showed them to your friends |
|
Now, you're going straight to hell and that's where your story ends |
|
Well, one of those girls was a friend of mine |
|
One of those ones you took |
|
One of those girls didn't want to see her face on the cover of a dirty book |
|
One of those girls took her life last night just in case you had not heard |
|
And everybody knows that the pretty ones go down doing it for the work and |
|
Chorus:Don't be fooled |
|
Don't be flattered |
|
It's not like you ever mattered |
|
When the world around is falling down and every ship's been shattered |
|
Don't be fooled |
|
Don't flattered |
|
It's not like you ever mattered |
|
Not to meAh, rick james was the original super freak |
|
Man, you're not so perfect |
|
Man, you're not a pearl |
|
You're nothing more, man, than a little piece of sand |
|
That grew up inside of a girl |
|
I don't go for the novocain'cause |
|
I don't like the pain |
|
And I don't fall for the jesus freaks when they seem like they want to win |
|
ChorusBridge: |
|
I'm not looking for an answer anymore |
|
I'm not looking for a visionary |
|
Help me mother mary |
|
I've done my time |
|
I'm closer everyday to a life of crime |
|
The God above us and everywhere he watches all the people die |
|
Killing them as others waste their time in asking why |
|
But, time is all we're given and the happiness we seek |
|
It may be the peace within the meek or maybe the statement of the freak and |
|
Chorus (repeat) |
