Verse#1

You pleaded ignorance
Then you walked away
The sky was charged with razor wire
And all around was grey
I have this new feeling
I’ll do my best to describe
It burns my soul
And tears at my insides

Chorus:

And yes, you can get through this
And yes, you will survive
The pain inside won’t last forever
Just stay alive, please stay alive.

Verse#2

Stella styles her hair
And then she paints her nails.
She sprays herself with perfume
The one that never fails.
Stella’s seventeen
But you’d think she’s forty five
But Stella doesn’t care
She’s just pleased to be alive.

Chorus

Solo

Verse#3

Johnny hates his job
And Johnny hates his life
Johnny gets around
But Johnny don’t want a wife
One day he stops and screams
“Someone help me – I’m confused!”
He knows he has no future
He knows he’s being used.

Chorus
