Píseň: The Also Rans

Interpret:
Roger Taylor
Album:
The Cross - Blue Rock
Fucked - again 
I was born on the twenty second floor of a bird cage 
I was bound to rock - I was born to rage 
When your daddy's gets drunk and your ma has no hope 
And you're tough and you're young and you got enough rope 
And you make a wrong turn and you make some mistakes 
You run outta control and you ain't got no brakes 
And the country's a wreck and the government's cruel 
Then you better check out - if you wanna be cool 


It's a hard road - in a world that stinks 
God have mercy on a man that thinks 
It's a hard road - in a world that sucks 
God don't love you when you're out of luck 


So I work real hard and I earn my pay 
And I drink all night - it's the only way 
To make some fun outta life - just a little bit more 
And when I get up my nerve - I'm gonna rob me a store 
Or even find me a girl - you never know your luck 


And she'll cook and she'll clean - just to make a few bucks 
It's a grand old world - going down the pan 
And there ain't no cure - for the also rans 


Yeah it's a hard road - in a world that stinks 
God have mercy on a man that thinks 
Yeah it's a hard road - we're going down the pan 
God have mercy on the also rans 


You gotta have mercy on the also rans 
If you wanna get out you gotta be desperate Dan 


You know what I mean 
A hard road 


It's a hard road - when you're on your own 
It's a hard road - when your skin's the wrong tone 
It's a hard road - if your your face don't fit 
It's a hard road - you gotta take alotta shit 


Cos God don't love you when you got no bucks 
It's a hard road 
God don't love you when you're outta luck 
God have mercy...
