Well i was born too late to be a rolling stone
i donand't know jerry lee i never me john and yoko
standinand' with a strat, iand'm rock and'nand' rolland's bastard son
go out get drunk get wild have fun
i donand't got a million dollars donand't drive a cadillac
give me half a chance and'cause iand'm not dead yet
Iand'm not dead yet
iand'm not dead yet
iand'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
you better get a bigger gun iand'm not dead yet
Iand've been machine-gunned handgunned hijacked left for dead
dive-bombed napalmed nuclear warheaded
dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
shot by a firing squad and raped by a business suit
iand'm dancinand' on a land mine baby one leg left
and i can still crawl and iand'm not dead yet
Well youand're bigger tougher meaner rougher
dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier
you wanna shoot me with a gun, cut me with a knife
take your bare hands baby rip out my eyes
you knocked me to the floor then you bit me in the neck, well
hit me again cause iand'm not dead yet
Iand'm not dead yet, no no
iand'm not dead yet
well iand'm a wild card hidinand' in the middle of the deck
you better get a bigger gun, you better get a bigger gun
Well thereand's a mugger in the alley thereand's a sniper in the hall
thereand's a girl at the bar wants to get me by my balls
and the hangman is hanginand', if i autograph the noose
lee harvey oswaldand's brotherand's on the loose
mafia hit man with a bullet for my neck
some day heand's gonna get me but iand'm not dead yet
Iand'm not dead yet
iand'm not dead yet
iand'm a wild card hidinand' in the middle of the deck
you better get a bigger gun, you better get your poison pen
