Anybody can press a button and blow up a ship

Anybody can use an atom bomb

Anybody can pick up a big whip, and whip you

Anybody can stick a knife into you

Anybody can pull a trigger

But where's the man with the character

As can take a punch on the nose and keep his temper

Keep control of himself?

[Incomprehensible]

The seed you sow, another reaps

The wealth you find, another keeps

The clothes you weave, another wears

The arms you forge, another bears

[Incomprehensible]

The songs you write, another sings

The heart you lose, another wins

The food you bake, another eats

Poison-laced and oh, so sweet

[Incomprehensible]

Rock and roll, check your pulse

Art or death, true or false

Can't stay young, can't grow old

Overpriced, undersold
