Lyrics Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper

Give The Kid A Break

[Alice]

Don't know why I'm down here

Must be something I said

Or some small imperfection

In my soul or in my head

Don't know why I'm down here

Don't deserve to roast or bake

I'm fighting off slanderous allegations

Why don't you give the kid a break?

[Alice]

Don't think maybe we could talk this over

You're a reasonable man

Could we discuss my grave situation

I'm a miserable man

And I'm in the frying pan

Give the kid a break (continues over dialog)

Devil: Give me one good reason why I should

Alice: All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes but listen.. But for heaven's sake

Devil: Watch your language, Kid.

Alice: OK, OK, don't get hot

[Devil]

Don't question my judgement

He only reaped what he sowed

He cast his pearls before swine

And that's good enough for me

[Devil]

I don't want to talk it over

Even tho' I'm a reasonable man

Sonny, from over here looks like you're in no position to bargain

You're a convicted man

You're right in the frying pan

Give the kid a break (continues over dialog

Alice: Yeah, Please give me a break

Devil: Nah, I don't think so, man

Alice: Come on, you know I got what it takes. Can't you give me a break?

Devil: Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over

Choir: Ok, don't give the kid a break

Alice: Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side

Choir: No. Give the kid a break

Alice: Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals

Alice: Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal. Is there anything I can say, some kind of fine I can pay? Anything?

[Alice:

Don't know why I'm down here

Must be something I said (I'm sorry)

Or some small imperfection

In my soul or in my head

It might be some sort of imperfection

It might be a defection or a, a clear case of misdirection yeah

It must be a small imperfection

In my soul or in my head

Give the kid a break
