I went down to the demonstration, To get my fair share of abuse. Singing "we're gonna vent our frustration, And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse." chorus I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled. I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy, And man, did he look pretty ill. We decided that we would have a soda, My favorite flavor, cherry red.

She was practiced at the art of deception, Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands. chorus repeat
