A Bad Situation
Alice Cooper · Other Songs - Alice Cooper
I don't get no vacation
I want a piece of the cake, I want a slice of the stake
I'm sick of cheap imitations
I got a pain in the neck from this rusty old wreck that I drive
All the things that I miss, all the ass that I kiss to survive, stay alive
It's a bad situation
It's demoralization
Like a state of the nation
A really bad situation
I can't change the pace, I'm just a rat in the race
And that's a major frustration
I'm way underpaid, no no I never get laid
That ain't no exaggeration
I got a pain in the neck from this rusty old wreck that I drive
All the things that I miss, all the ass that I kiss to survive, stay alive
It's a bad situation
It's demoralization
Like a state of the nation
A really bad situation
Oh what I'd give to blow this dump where I live and to fly
And whack all the jerks in the place where I work
That's how I'd say goodbye
It's a bad situation
It's a disintegration
Oh my mentalization
A really bad situation
Things I've done for inspiration
Of my gesticulation
That was the last insultation
Of a bad situation
Bad bad situation
Bad bad situation
