Jesse Malin - Bent Up lyrics

His parents used to leave him when he was a kid Gave him lots of money thinking that they sinned A sad song playing from long ago Trying hard not to let it show Picking up the pieces in a parking lot Past the road runner and the Stop N Shop When you're young and there ain't no peace You hit the gas and you motor east Here come Johnny with a brand new soul All messed up on rock & roll A restless feeling that I can't control All bent up on rock & roll Always about the music, never smoked or drank A singer down in DC that he used to thank One day he took a turn From that place he could not return Here come Johnny with a brand new soul All f**ed up on rock & roll A restless feeling that I can't control All bent up on rock & roll When I met his father at the funeral home He talked about friendship and simpatico If I knew could I have helped It's hard not to blame yourself His friends all got together and they sang some songs To help him through and move the spirit along Shakey voices on the mic Someone save my life tonight Here come Johnny with a brand new soul All f**ed up on rock & roll A restless feeling that I can't control All messed up on rock & roll Cadillacs coming and we got to go All f**ed up on rock & roll
