Verse 2

Every day, baby, I work hard

And it's true at night I spend the restless time

But those rich kids and all their lazy money

Can't hold a candle to mine

[repeat chorus]

  GGood guys, bad guys, whCich is which

Verse 3

A-bad words and dirty minds

All those messed-up chicks of the changing times

White pills and easy livin'

Can't replace the love I'm givin'

[repeat chorus]

 Coda [rant over E-A-D-A to fade]:

Ha, I mean to tell you

You better tell your mama and your papa somethin'

I'll split, I'll find myself another chick, yeah

Ah, just for kicks

You think those guys in the white collars are better than

I am? Then flake off!

You don't dig this long hair? Get yourself a crewcut, baby!

Yeah! I mean what I say! I don't need nobody, baby [fade]
