Hey, hey
You were the toughest little fucker I've ever seen
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
Try to play this and sing at the same time
And with each downfall you turned ten foot tall
Never gave them the chance to question why
Not that looks are all to go by, but anyway
Causes some sort of mental distress
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
Has gone wild, no one blocks out the way
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
That existing makes you a mess
A new lease of life flowed through your body today
If they hit on you then you hit them right back
Keep the cool for the fool
You couldn't escape from this fact of life
Keep the cool for the fool
And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again
With one hand in the wallet, you took them for the ride
You should have seen you when you were eighteen
If they hit on you then you hit right back
That he'll diagnose pain again
Keep the cool for the fool
If they hit on you then you hit right back
You had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your head
Whoa, you're looking so torrid today, life
Never keeping their cool, it was up and attack
Never gave them the chance to question why
You even look good, so they say
Building your life up and smashing it down
Building your life up and smashing it down
Never gave them the chance to question why
That existing makes you a mess
Building your life up and smashing it down
That's what rock and roll is all about
The stuff is free and you can now go to town
Looking for blame and you know
Keep the cool for the fool
Yeah, pain again
Narrow the sorrow, sick of the slick
Never keeping their cool it was up and attack
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
If they hit on you then you hit right back
You couldn't escape from this fact of life
That every decision or feeling or reason
Causes some sort of mental distress
Anyone in your way, was a spike in your side
Building your life up and smashing it down
That every decision or feeling or reason
The biggest kick in the balls you've ever been
Never gave them the chance to question why
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
If they hit on you then you slammed them right back
You could look in their eyes, you perfected a lie
Always the dreamer, but never the dead
Of the doors of discovery you had your pick
