Testo Friendly Fire

An inspirational tirade against meHow to explain my lifeGirls to the left of meBoys to the right of meNeither a husbands nor a wifeThough the days are filled with painThere is no one who'll explain why I'm...Coming under friendly fireShot in the fatal cause of rock'n'rollBut there's no one, really no one to say...Why I endure under force majeureSlander without shame or tact?I who studied make-up, mime and BuddhaWho taught two generations to reactAbout me the critics liedI ignored them and survived in spite of...Coming under friendly fireShot in the fatal cause of rock'n'rollBut there's nothing, really nothing to deny...When I look back, my eyes are filled with tearsDanger to mascara applause to my peersWhen fame sustained me and arenas acclaimed meI floated through life on a cloudOf love and insanity and pagan profanityBefore a worshiping crowdNow my status is ill-definedAs an icon I'm inclined to be...Coming under friendly fireShot in the fatal cause of rock'n'rollBut whatever dull or clever points they?ve scoredI have never, oh no never, been ignored
