Would you like another bill?
Printing out the dollar bill?
In the end it's all the same,
Keep on looking at the weather vane

Time controlling
Not worth knowing
Where the reasons ending up its easy to see
That no on cares
And nothings free

You don't own me
You can't sell that
Still controlling
In a format

Kid in a rock show
There's another fine reason
Kid in a rock show
Yeah! kid in a rock show

Where the joker plays another joke
The smoker takes another toke
Stars keep falling from the sky
People watch and don't ask why

Glasses broken Love unspoken
When the other preacher comes and rolls into town
You look him up
You look him down

You don't own me
You can't sell that
Still controlling
In a format

Kid in a rock show
There's another fine reason
Kid in a rock show
there's another fine reject

You don't own me
You can't sell that

Still controlling
In a format

Kid in a rock show
there's another fine reject
Kid in a rock show
There;s another fine reason
Still on th same show
Still in the same reason
Kid in the rock show
There's another fine reason.
