We live in confusion times, my world is a vice   Nobody gets out alive, but you can break through the ice   Don't say no   My wounds are the open kind, I bleed every day   I pray for a change of mind, you could take me away   Don't say no      Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side   Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time   Come 'round to see you from time to time   Weak in the knees and I'm busted      Some people they treat me kind, some drive me away   Some people they blow your mind, it's not easy today   Don't say no   I live on the borderline, you come from the void   I beg you to cross the line, you take good care of your boy   Don't say no      Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine   Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines   Come 'round to see me from time to time   Bring it to me when I'm busted   One minute I'm outa time, I don't fit in your game      You kill me in overtime, I don't remember my name   One minute you're on my mind, next minute you're gone   You tell me to read the signs, they tell me we're on   Don't say no
