Alice Cooper — Give the Kid a Break

Don't know why I'm down here Must be something I said Or some small imperfection In my soul or in my head Don't know why I'm down here Don't reserve to roast or bake I'm fighting off slanderous allegations Why don't you give the kid a break? You don't think maybe we could talk this over? You're a reasonable man Could we discuss my grave situation? I'm a miserable man And I'm in the frying pan Give the kid a break (Give me one good reason why I should) Give the kid a break Well... all right, all right, so I made a few mistakes But listen, for heaven's sake (Watch your language, kid) OK, OK, don't get hot (Don't question my judgement) (He only reaped what he sowed) (He cast his pearls before swine) (And that's good enough for me) [Guitar Solo] (I don't want to talk it over) (Even though I'm a reasonable man) (Sonny, from over here) (Looks like you're in no position to bargain) (You're a convicted man) (You're right in the frying pan) Give the kid a break Yeah, please, give me a break Give the kid a break (Nah, I don't think so, man) Come on, you know I got what it takes Can't you give me a break? (Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over) Ok, don't give the kid a break Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side Don't give the kid a break Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal Is there anything I can say Or some kind of fine I can pay? Anything? Don't know why I'm down here Must be something I said, I'm sorry Or some small imperfection In my soul or in my head It might be some sort of imperfection It might be some infection Or a clear case of misdirection It must be a small imperfection In my soul or in my head Give the kid a break
