Nervous you need a drink

tired you need a lift

you feel on the brink

maybe you need new tits



vulnerable as a ship

but you re not on the sea

can you talk to anyone here?

no, not really



and the crowd stays on your back

and the girls are all s0 stacked

and the stress it lines your face

and you realy need a place



its just that social life

its got you on the run

that goddamn social life

it's torture dressed as fun

it's just that social life

they got you seein things

that goddamn social life

and now you re chasin strings

that goddamn social life



god-awful art and clothes

plenty of money, though

you guess it must be worth somethin

what that would be you don' t know

in your imagination

there's a face of love



someone who will come along

instead of comin on



anp the forces ebb and flow

and the money goes and goes

and something makes you

want to throw a brick

through the window



it's iust that social life

it's got you on the run

that goddamn social life

it's torture dressed as fun

it's iust that social life

they got you chasin strings

that goddamn social life

and you are seeing things
