Hey bro, take it slow 
You ain't livin' in a video 
You're flying low with a high velocity 
No doubt, you're stressin' out 
That ain't what rock n' roll's about 
Get off that one way trip down lonely street 

Now I know you've been kicked around 
You ain't alone in this ugly town 
You stick a needle in your arm 
You bite the dust, you buy the farm 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid 
What ya tryin' to do 
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid 
They win you lose 
Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid 

C'mon girl, it's a better day 
Get your foot out of that grave 
Don't let that one love tear your world apart 
C'mon babe, kick that stuff 
Show the street it ain't so tough 
Quit lyin' around with a crippled, broken heart 

Now I know you've been seeing red 
Don't put a pistol to your head 
sometimes your answer's heaven sent 
Your way is so damn permanent 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid 
What ya tryin' to do 
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid 
They win you lose 
Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid 

This ain't your daddy talkin' 
You know, I know 
Your story ain't so shocking 
You know, I know 
Blow some steam 
C'mon and scream 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid 
What ya tryin' to do 
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid 
They win you lose 
Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid
