i just left hollywood california
our countries have become sewers
not only hollywood
there’s san francisco and newyorkand other cities
butby and large hollywood
that has filledthe land and filled the world with filth
i woke up this mornin’
i couldn’t get out of bed
felt like this heavy band were playin’ in my head
they were screamin’ through the ceiling
screamin’ through the walls
stealin’ all my photographs and laughing at them all
well i phoned the man at work and this is what i said
i woke up this mornin’ but i couldn’t get out of bed
and i said
ohoh ohoh
you call it poison but i call it rock and roll
i said
ohoh ohoh
you call it poison but i call it rock and roll
the change of style felt out of place
got myself a suntan and a facelift for my face
down to the cathouse cruisin’ in la
found myself a pretty girl with nothin’ much to say
her conversation’s like she comes from outer space
got legs and long hair but i couldn’t see her face
and she said
ohoh ohoh
you call it poison but i call it rock and roll
she said
ohoh ohoh
you call it poison but i call it rock and roll
kick it
this one called the rebel rocker sound
right
i sing about s i sing a rocker song
we take a little walk in the new york town
everybody round livin’ can’t be stopped
them heavy metal sound almost makin’ me frown ay
irie
gonna make you
went to the west to check out the best
all them rocky girls with the silicon chests
i say to you mon don’t let them take your music away
’cause you might play what you wanna play
and you might say what you wanna say
’cause i must say
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
bumabiddly bumabiddly bumabiddly bum
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
it takes an hour backcombing my hair
chilling out on heavy grass and picking clothes to wear
look in the mirror walk out on the street
bump into a policeman i didn’t expect to meet
he said to me hey are you some kind of red
well it looks to me son like you just got out of bed
and i said
ohoh ohoh
you call it poison but i call it rock and roll
i said
ohoh ohoh
you call it poison but i call it rock and roll
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
bumabilly bumabilly bumabilly bum
ohoh ohoh
ohoh ohoh
ohoh ohoh
