Nobody gets a smooth ride... Every child will learn How the asphalt burns When he takes a sharp turn too wide Nobody gets a smooth ride I'm really sorry the way things are going these days Try to be careful that's all I can say I'm really sorry the way things are going Civilians needn't wear guns... Bullets rain on us The hapless populous Fools will shoot the sky just for fun Civilians needn't wear guns I'm really sorry the way things are going these days Try to be careful that's all I can say I'm really sorry the way things are going High flyers oughta use nets... Hold on tight to the bar Circus trapeze star What a shame should you fall to your d**h High flyers oughta use nets I'm really sorry the way things are going... Nobody gets a smooth ride
