about

CLICHÉ RIDE
In life we all know someone who has fallen to the scourge of addiction, my personal experiences are sad reminders of a terrible sense of loss, And as the cool images of rock and roll and movies fade, so fades the health and wellbeing of wasted souls, And in some cases the loss of life is all too real,
The millionaire celebrity cushioned in $1000 per hour rehab is a far cry from the poor deluded teenager dying in a derelict crack house with a needle in his arm, this song is for all the lost souls, and the souls we can save with the truth

lyrics

VERSE 1
roll up roll up to the penny bizarre - you don’t have to travel to far
roll up roll up unroll your mind - join the deaf the dumb and the blind
CHORUS
grass is greener on the other side
on the rock n roll bullshit cliché ride – x 2
VERSE 2
roll up roll up all you hippy cats - cardboard cock a roach rizzler rats
the first ones free no charge on the door - you can pay me when you need some more
CHORUS
grass is greener on the other side
on the rock n roll bullshit cliché ride – x 2
BRIDGE
habits can be formed
even if your warned
the need to get high
means you play with fire
you gonna get burned
VERSE 3
roll up roll up in the rain and snow - its premium grade it’s a real home grow
come on down there’s a circus in town - play the fool everybody's a clown
CHORUS
grass is greener on the other side
on the rock n roll bullshit cliché ride – x 2
VERSE 4
roll up roll up I just don’t care - sometimes life just ain't fair
just can't seem to get outta bed - sometimes feel I’d be better off dead
CHORUS
grass ain’t greener on the other side
on the rock n roll bullshit cliché ride – x 2
BRIDGE
habits can be formed
even if your warned
the need to get high
means you play with fire
you gonna get burned
you gonna get burned
you gonna get burned
