After Shelley

Anybody can press a button and blow up a ship



Anybody can use an atom bomb



Anybody can pick up a big whip, and whip you



Anybody can stick a knife into you



Anybody can pull a trigger



But where's the man with the character



As can take a punch on the nose and keep his temper



Keep control of himself?



[Incomprehensible]



The seed you sow, another reaps



The wealth you find, another keeps



The clothes you weave, another wears



The arms you forge, another bears



[Incomprehensible]



The songs you write, another sings



The heart you lose, another wins



The food you bake, another eats



Poison-laced and oh, so sweet



[Incomprehensible]



Rock and roll, check your pulse



Art or death, true or false



Can't stay young, can't grow old



Overpriced, undersold
