Let Them Run Your Lives (Album Version) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]
Hello girls and boys[00:00:11]
As you sit in your carpeted bedrooms[00:00:18]
With your stereos on and on[00:00:23]
Playin' with those hundred dollar toys[00:00:29]
Built to occupy your minds[00:00:37]
So you don't notice your future's are gone[00:00:40]
And as you race on through the streets tonight[00:00:47]
Lookin' for some lonely lover to hold you tight[00:00:54]
You think that the world is alright[00:00:58]
Well you're out of touch you're out of time[00:01:05]
You're gonna crack you're fragile regulated minds[00:01:08]
As you're headin' on to no kind of conclusion[00:01:13]
Go on let 'em run your lives[00:01:23]
Watch 'em as they cut your throat[00:01:33]
With their parental carving knife[00:01:35]
Go on let 'em run your lives[00:01:42]
Are you too young to see[00:01:49]
Or just too old to fight[00:01:52]
They've taken the energy away from you[00:02:00]
They haven't taught you enough to deal[00:02:07]
With the ordeal you must be goin' through[00:02:10]
Yeah but look at this now[00:02:15]
They've left you the schools[00:02:17]
They've left you the government but they're all fallin' down[00:02:19]
Don't forget to make the past due payments[00:02:28]
And in this world of uncertainties you can be certain that[00:02:35]
You must kiss the a** of the authorities[00:02:45]
And kiss you will if you want to survive[00:02:53]
You don't have to look too hard to see[00:03:00]
That there just ain't no free rides[00:03:03]
Hell it takes a real man to survive[00:03:05]
Go on let 'em run your lives[00:03:11]
Watch 'em as they cut your throat[00:03:19]
With their parental carving knife[00:03:23]
Go on let 'em run your lives[00:03:29]
Are you too young to see[00:03:36]
Or just too old to fight[00:03:39]
Well Jay Dee is locked in his soul some kinda hotel[00:03:46]
Well he's burnin' inside[00:03:52]
He shakes shakes shakes all through the night[00:03:55]
And little Ruda Juda is passed out on the floor[00:04:00]
She's just so damn stupid won't somebody[00:04:07]
Take away her gun and show her the door[00:04:10]
Show her the door show her that door's open[00:04:12]
And me I'm so misunderstood but I'm still alive[00:04:16]
And my eyes are open wide to the fact[00:04:22]
That the world just will lie and it'll kick you right in the face[00:04:25]
Go on let 'em run your lives[00:04:30]
Watch 'em as they cut your throat[00:04:38]
With their parental carving knife[00:04:40]
Go on let 'em run your lives[00:04:45]
Are you too young to see[00:04:51]
Or just too old to fight[00:04:53]
Hey are you too young to see[00:04:58]
Or just too old to fight[00:05:00]
Do we have to fight the rest of our lives[00:05:03]
