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 death
High flyers oughta use nets

I’m really sorry the way things are going…
Nobody gets a smooth ride
