Lyrics for The Rack
He's feelin' publicized – they got the boy in bed He's losing his disguise – they got the kid in bed Boy fights back They got him in straps But he's GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT He know he's better than them Even when he's out like this He's a star but he's gonna crack They're burnin' him out on the rack Turn around, turn around, tell me where you are This is no kinda life for a superstar Bird on the wire, pull away these bars I wanna feel the same way too He's bleeding words in pints – they got the boy in the raw He would've paid his fines but they want him in the raw He cries – they laugh They got him in straps But he's GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT Poor boy, he's sinking fast Lashes out on a whim Never did nothing to them So why they wanna do it to him (Reprise) Don't gimme no jazz 'bout my rock 'n' roll 'Cause serious musicians ain't got no soul I'm a superstar boy, but I oughtta know I used to be an artist, too...
