Lyric Not Dead Yet

Written by Ralph Covert
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

Well I was born too late to be a Rolling Stone
I don t know Jerry Lee I never me John & Yoko
Standin with a strat, I m rock n roll s bastard son
Go out get drunk get wild have fun
I don t got a million dollars don t drive a Cadillac
Give me half a chance cause I m not dead yet

I m not dead yet
I m not dead yet
I m a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You better get a bigger gun I m not dead yet

I ve been machine-gunned handgunned hijacked left for dead
Dive-bombed napalmed nuclear warheaded
Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
Shot by a firing squad & raped by a business suit
I m dancin on a land mine baby one leg left
And I can still crawl and I m not dead yet

Well you re bigger tougher meaner rougher
Dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier
You wanna shoot me with a gun, cut me with a knife
Take your bare hands baby rip out my eyes
You knocked me to the floor then you bit me in the neck, well
Hit me again cause I m not dead yet

I m not dead yet, no no
I m not dead yet
Well I m a wild card hidin in the middle of the deck
You better get a bigger gun, you better get a bigger gun

Well there s a mugger in the alley there s a sniper in the hall
There s a girl at the bar wants to get me by my balls
And the hangman is hangin , if I autograph the noose
Lee Harvey Oswald s brother s on the loose
Mafia hit man with a bullet for my neck
Some day he s gonna get me but I m not dead yet

I m not dead yet
I m not dead yet
I m a wild card hidin in the middle of the deck
You better get a bigger gun, you better get your poison pen
