Don't Say No

We live in confusion times---my world is a vice Nobody gets out alive...but you can break through the ice Don't say no My wounds are the open kind---I bleed every day I pray for a change of mind...you could take me away Don't say no Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time Come 'round to see you from time to time Week in the knees and I'm busted Some people they treat me kind...some drive me away Some people they blow your mind...it's not easy today Don't say no I live on the borderline...you come from the void I beg you to cross the line...you take good care of your boy Don't say no Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines Come 'round to see me from time to time Bring it to me when I'm busted One minute I'm outa time...I don't fit in your game You kill me in overtime...I don't remember my name One minute you're on my mind...next minute you're gone You tell me to read the signs...they tell me we're on Don't say no...
