I was born too late to play in the rolling stones
I don’t know jimmy pageI never met yoko ono
Standing with a stratI’m rock and roll’s bastard son
Go outget drunkget laidhave fun
I don’t got a million dollarsdon’t drive a cadillac
Gimme half a chance’cause I’m not dead yet
(chorus)
I’m not dead yet — not dead yet
I’m a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You’d better get a bigger gunI’m not dead yet
I been machine-gunnedhand-gunnedhijackedleft for dead
Divebombednapalmednuclear warheaded
Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
Shot by a firing squad and raped by a business suit
I’m dancing on a landmineone leg left
But I can still crawl and I’m not dead yet
Chorus
Wellyou’re biggertoughermeanerrougher
Dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier
You wanna shoot me with a guncut me with a knife
Take your bare hands and rip out my eyes
You kicked me in the balls and bit me in the neck
Hit me again’cause I’m not dead yet
Chorus
Well there’s a mugger in the alleythere’s a sniper in the hall
There’s a girl at the bar wants to get me by the balls
The hangman is hanging if I autograph the noose
And lee harvey oswald’s brother’s on the loose
There’s a mafia hitman with a bullet for my back
Someday he’s gonna get mebut I’m not dead yet
I’m not dead yet — not dead yet
I’m a wild card waiting in the middle of the deck
You’d better get a bigger gunI’m not dead yet
Chorus
