We don't see the people that vice destroys. We just see the glamour of it - everywhere we look, from billboard signs to movies, to newspapers, to magazines. We see the destruction of human life.

The people in my songs are all me.

Even I don't know what I'm saying most of the time.

I said, you know they refused Jesus, too. He said, you're not him.

You might be a rock and roll addict prancing on the stage. You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage.

In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinking.

Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking 'bout the government.
