Another sad sad day

The world's KO'd again

And I used to always say

No one could hit, like my old man


**Do you really have to be so tough

Is it necessary to talk so (son of a bitchin) rough

Hey ain't there some place I could fit in


Could I find a little action there

Hey wait just a minute, I don't really care

Any place is bound to be better

Than where I'm standin'

Yeah I wish that for just one day

Hey ya know I wouldn't have to be afraid

And ashamed of its work

And its disgusting glory


*Welcome to the alley of the angels

Hey they say your eyes can gleam

When you can a just tell the truth all night

(And you can a chase them dreams all night)

Welcome to the alley of the angels

(They say) The reckless young hearts

Beat to (the flash of) the neon lights


Look at those kids, they're such a mess

Just can't teach 'em no respect

They want the world

And they want the best on a silver platter

Hey but ain't that, sometime son

The kids grew up and the world moved on

They're just lookin' for some place in the sun

So they would not shatter


(*Repeat)

(**Repeat)

Welcome to the alley of the angels
