If you can heal the symptoms
But not affect the cause
It's quite a bit like trying to heal
A gunshot wound with gauze

I'm free to be whatever I
Whatever I choose
And I'll sing the blues if I want
I'm free to say whatever I
Whatever I like
If it's wrong or right it's all right

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time ...
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

I went down to the bank just to get me my pay ...
I got me some cash, I'm headed back to L.A. ...
I'm sackin' the man, 'cause the man's a thief
I'm kicking the plan before the plan kicks me

I'm getting put down
I'm getting pushed 'round
I'm being beaten every day
My life's fading
But things are changing
I'm not gonna sit and weep again

You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you ...

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?

Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else

Let loose from the noose
That's kept me hangin' about
I've been looking at the sky 'cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I'll never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and runnin' wild

Company
Always on the run
Destiny is the rising sun
Oh I was born six-gun in my hand
Behind a gun I'll make my final stand
That's why they call me
Bad company

Jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life
And they got no right
As sure as you have eyes
They got no right

I'm singing out my revolution song
Like nothing else matters
And you can pitch your gold against my soul
But I bet you get shattered
And there's a million houses in my heart
It won't be long ...
'Til I solve my mystery

If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
