I was born too late to play in the Rolling Stones
I don't know Jimmy Page, never met Yoko Ono
Standing with a Strat, I'm rock and roll's bastard son
Go out, get drunk, get laid, have fun
I don't got a million dollars, don't drive a Cadillac
Gimme half a chance, 'cause I'm not dead yet
I been machine-gunned, handgunned, hijacked, left for dead
Dive-bombed, napalmed, nuclear warheaded
Dropped form a jet plane with no parachute
Shot by a firing squad and raped by a business suit
Dancing on a land mine, one leg left
But I can still crawl and I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet--not dead yet
I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You'd better get a bigger gun, 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 and rip out my eyes
You kicked me in the balls and you bit me in the neck
Well, hit me again 'cause I'm not dead yet
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 the balls
The hangman is hanging if I autograph the noose
Lee Harvey Oswald's brother's on the loose
There's a Mafia hitman with a bullet for my back
Someday he's gonna get me, but I'm not dead yet
Not dead yet -- not dead yet
I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You'd better get a bigger gun
'Cause I'm not dead yet ...
