(Get a) Grip (On Yourself)

Didn't have the money round to buy a Marry thou

Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow

Begged and borrowed, sometimes I admit, I even stole

The worse crime that I ever did was playing rock and roll

But the money's no good

Just get a grip on yourself

But the money's no good

Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside

The air in here is pretty thick

I think I'll go outside

Committed for insanity

And crimes against the soul

The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock and roll

But the money's no good

Just get a grip on yourself

But the money's no good

Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

Now I find from week to week

The sentence sticking fast

Turn the corner, rub my eyes

And hope the world will last

Stranger from another planet

Welcome to our hole

Just strap on your guitar

And we'll play some rock and roll

But the money's no good

Just get a grip on yourself

But the money's no good

Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know
