(CN.C.)Oh yeah,
In France a skin ny man died of a big dis ease with a lit tle name.
By chance his girl friend came a cross a nee dle and soon she did the same.
At home there are sev en teen year old boys and their i de a of fun is be ing in a gang called the Dis ci ples, high on crack, and tot in’ a ma chine gun.

Some say a man ain’t hap py un less a man tru ly (Fm11)dies,

(CN.C.)Time,

Ba by make a speech, star wars fly, neigh bors just shine it on.
But if a night falls and a bomb falls, will an y bod y see the dawn?
Time,

It’s (Fm11)sil ly, when a rock et blows, and ev ’ry bod y still wants 2 fly.
Some say man ain’t hap py, tru ly, ’til man tru ly dies.
Oh why, oh,

Let’s fall in love, get mar ried, have a ba by.
