Nobody Gets a Smooth Ride

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nobody gets a smooth ride Nobody gets a smooth ride Nobody gets a smooth ride Nobody gets a smooth ride Every child will learn How the asphalt burns When he takes a sharp turn too wide Nobody gets a smooth ride [Chorus] I'm really sorry the way things are going these days Try to be careful, that's all I can say I'm really sorry the way things are going [Verse 2] Civilians needn't wear guns Civilians needn't wear guns Civilians needn't wear guns Civilians needn't wear guns Bullets rain on us The hapless populace Fools will shoot the sky just for fun Civilians need not wear guns [Chorus] I'm really sorry the way things are going these days Try to be careful, that's all I can say I'm really sorry the way things are going [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] High flyers oughta use nets High flyers oughta use nets High flyers oughta use nets High flyers oughta use nets Hold on tight to the bar Circus trapeze star What a shame should you fall to your death High flyers oughta use nets [Chorus] I'm really sorry the way things are going these days Try to be careful, that's all I can say I'm really sorry the way things are going these days Try to be careful, that's all I can say I'm really sorry the way things are going [Outro] Nobody gets a smooth ride
