Back in '77 baby, I couldn't take no more
I remember it like it was yesterday, I was pissed and I was bored
That stinkin' life just scared me
I challenged death for a romance
Well, takin' care of business
And I kicked everybody's ass
I never left the building, they found me on the floor
The world just screamed - "The King is dead, he won't come back no more!"
I cruised down the lonely highway with a big smile on my face
Yeah I screwed you all
I fucked the whole human race
Just leave it, leave it, leave it
Leave it, let it go
Forget this case, yeah fuck the truth
I won't come back no more
Another great rock'n'roll swindle
My middle finger in the air
To this world of stupid low lives
I guess you'll never understand
And to this world of stupid low lives
I guess you'll never understand
And to this world of stupid low lives
I guess you'll never understand
