After Shelley

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?

The seed you sow, another reaps

The wealth you find, another keeps

The clothes you weave, another wears

The arms you forge, another bears

The songs you write, another sings

The heart you lose, another wins

The food you bake, another eats

Poison-laced and oh so sweet

Rock and roll

Check your pulse

Art or death

True or false

Can't stay young

Can't grow old

Overpriced

Undersold
