sex war justice
Sex, death and war. And justice. There's no shortage of lyrics there.
stupid hate hatred
Inherited hatred (i.e. hatred your parents schooled you in) is not only stupid, it is destructive - why make your only driving force hate? Seems really f***ing dumb to me.
years rock-n-roll
It will be funny in about 10 years.
war people drug
People lose their lives in the drug wars and you don't have to prove it to yourself because others have proved it for you.
believe years europe
I don't understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it'll go away. That's completely wrong - if it's ignored it gathers strength. Europe ignored Hitler for twenty years. As a result he slaughtered a quarter of the world!
mean married habit
I have never been married, but that doesn't mean that I didn't mate. As you get older you get too many bad habits. Who is ever going to put up with me?
doors people guy
People don't want to see the guy next door on the stage, they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you'd never meet in ordinary life.
vision tunnel-vision
I guess when you're young you have tunnel vision.
looks helping can-do
Don't look to me. Don't ask for help. Don't ask for anything that you can do yourself
giving-up drinking bars
My entire social life is spent in bars, so I don't see giving up drinking as a viable option. Could you see me saying, 'Tomato juice please?'
spiritual brave-new-world becoming
It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.
running good-friend shoes
As you go through life's rich tapestry, you realize that most people you meet aren't fit to shine your shoes. It's a sad fact, but it's true. A good friend is someone who'd hide you if you were on the run for murder. How many of them do you know?
winning born loses
Born to lose. Live to win.
summer remember never-forget
That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!
