looking like a born again  living like a heretic  listening to arthur lee records  making all your friends feel so guilty  about their cynicism  and the rest of their generation  not even the government are gonna stop you now  but are you ready to be heartbroken?  are you ready to be heartbroken?  pumped up full of vitamins  on account of all the seriousness  you say you're so happy now  you can hardly stand  lean over on the bookcase  if you really want to get straight  read norman mailer  or get a new tailor  are you ready to be heartbroken?  are you ready to be heartbroken?  are you ready to bleed?  what would it take  what would it take to wipe that smile off of your face?  are you ready to be, are you ready to bleed?  are you ready to be heartbroken?  are you ready to bleed? (heartbroken)  well you better get ready now baby
