Luney Tune
Alice Cooper · School's Out
Lookin hard and feelin mean
I took a spit at the moon
It's all in this luney tune
Just a little insane
A couple shots, I can't feel no pain
Hey, where have I been?
And who are these scary men?
Is this all real?
Is this all necessary?
Or it this a joke?
Many know I don't regret at all
They locked me up for good
Pinned me against the wall
I can't find the exit
I quit lookin for doors
I stole a razor from the commissary
I just couldn't take it no more
I'm swimmin in blood
Like a rat on a sewer floor
No longer insane
Just part of this crazy dream
