Hot times in the 70's

Drugs are your friends and your enemies

Hold close your vanities

swallow the obscenities

no room for them

to make amends

But can you hold it in the palm of your hand

break it down and make it understand

little piece of history

you always lose

when you're on the news

It's your biography

all about you when you're the lead

and then it's over

But can you hold it in the palm of your hand

break it down and make it understand
