Well, I was born too late to be a Rolling Stone
I don't know Jerry Lee, I never met John and Yoko
Standin' with a strat, I'm rock n' roll's bastard son
Go out, get drunk, get wild, have funI don't got a million dollars, don't drive a Cadillac
Give me half a chance 'cause I'm not dead yetI'm not dead yet, oh no, 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 yetI've been machine-gunned, handgunned, hijacked, left for dead
Dive-bombed, napalmed, nuclear warheaded
Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
Which shot by a firing squad and raped by a business suitI'm dancin' on a land mine, baby, one leg left
And I can still crawl and I'm not dead yetI'm not dead yet, oh no, 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 yetWell 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 eyesYou knocked me to the floor then you bit me in the neck, well
Hit me again 'cause I'm not dead yetI'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 gunWell there's a mugger in the alley, there's a sniper in the hall
There's a girl at the bar who 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 looseMafia hit man with a bullet for my neck
Some day he's gonna get me but I'm not dead yetI'm not dead yet, 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 your poison penI'm not dead yet, not me, I'm not dead yet
Well, I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You better get a bigger gun, go, go, goI'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet, I'm not dead yetWell, I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You better get a bigger gun, I'm not dead yet
