Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring

There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system

Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed'em

Everybody's after as many points as they can get

5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors

Well you do what you can - can't do much more than that

Some days you're pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead

(While you make your daily bread)

Didn't want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar
