Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
I've been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole
Oh the worse crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n' roll.
But the money's not good
So just get a grip on yourself
I said the money's not good
Oh, so just get a grip on yourself
Oh I've been suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
Oh the worse crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n' roll.
But the money's not good, oh
So just get a grip on yourself
I said the money's not good
Oh, so just get a grip on yourself
And you should know
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Grip on yourself)
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Just get a grip on yourself)
(Grip on yourself)
Well now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
I turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n' roll
But the money's not good, oh
So just get a grip on yourself
I said the money's not good
Oh, so just get a grip on yourself
And you should know
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Grip on yourself)
Oh oh oh oh oh
(Just get a grip on yourself)
(Grip on yourself)
