Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs

And the flesh machine

He's gonna do another striptease

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?

I been hurting since I bought the gimmick

About something called love

Yeah, something called love

Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

[Chorus]

Well, I'm just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life

'Cause of a lust for life

[Verse 2]

I'm worth a million in prizes

With my torture film

Drive a G.T.O.

Wear a uniform

All on a government loan

I'm worth a million in prizes

Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the

Sidewalk—no more beating my brains

No more beating my brains

With the liquor and drugs

With the liquor and drugs

[Chorus]

Well, I am just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life (Lust for life)

'Cause of a lust for life

[Bridge]

I got a lust for life

Got a lust for life

Oh, a lust for life

Oh, a lust for life

A lust for life

I got a lust for life

I got a lust for life

[Chorus]

Well, I am just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life

'Cause of a lust for life

[Verse 3]

Well here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs

And the flesh machine

I know he's gonna do another striptease

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?

Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick

About something called love

Oh love, love, love

Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

[Chorus]

Well, I am just a modern guy

Of course I've had it in the ear before

'Cause of a lust for life (Lust for life)

'Cause of a lust for life (Lust for life)

[Outro]

Got a lust for life

Yeah, a lust for life

I got a lust for life

Oh, a lust for life

I got a lust for life

Yeah, a lust for life

I got a lust for life

A lust for life

Lust for life

Lust for life

A lust for life
