Lyrics
Uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You ain't goin' nowhere
Gonna sit by this pool until' you fall in
Didn't know what you were gettin' into
When you walked into this room, did you, kid?
We got some girls over here
We got some boys over there
And they're here, just for your fun
So have some dinner, baby
Play some records
But just remember one thing, son
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
You (know) my hand is sweating
I can't dance and I can't relax
Outside is too threatening now
I've come this far, girl, I can't go back
Call up some old friends
Call up some strangers
Get me used to this French telephone
Donna, Donna, educate me
Tell those girls that I'm not alone
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
Take my heart and take my soul
Hang me on the cross for all to see
Put my name around my neck
Let those people throw stones at me
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
Sex and violence and rock and roll
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
This is serious business
Sex and violence and rock and roll
