No Surprize Lyrics

1971, we all heard the starters gun 

 New York is such a pity 

 But at Max's Kansas City we won 

 

 We all shot the shit at the bar 

 With Johnny O' Toole and his scar 

 And then old Clive Davis said 

 He's surely gonna make us a star 

 I'm gonna make you a star

 Just the way you are 

 

 But with all his style 

 I could see in his eyes 

 That we is goin' on trial 

 And it was no surprize 

 

 The boys kept kickin' ass 

 As usual time would tell 

 But some bitch in the choir 

 Throw water on the fires of hell 

 She loved to show and tell 

 Lord, she loved to tell 

 

 But with all our style 

 You could see in our eyes 

 That we is still on trial 

 And it was no surprize 

 No surprize 

 No surprize 

 No surprize 

 

 Midnight lady 

 Situation fetal 

 Vaccinate your ass with your phonograph needle 

 

 I say looky here 

 Friend of mine 

 You scratch like you need calamine 

 Flamingo boots, soles a creakin' 

 Still in love and Puerto Rican too 

 

 Ridin' on wheels of hell 

 Smokin' our axle grease 

 Oh, the backstage is rockin' 

 And we're coppin' from the local police 

 That's right, the local police 

 Or the juctice of peace 

 

 But with all our style 

 You could see in our eyes 

 That we is still on trial 

 Baby, it's no surprize 

 No surprize 

 No surprize 

 No surprize 

 

 Rock n' roll, junkie whore 

 Got my foot inside the door 

 Knock knock, knock knock, knock 

 Nobody's keepin' score 

 

 Bad times go away 

 Come again some other day 

 Topaz and sazzafraz 

 Will keep the blues away 

 

 Candy store, rock n' roll 

 Corporation jellyroll 

 Play the singles, it ain't me 

 It's programmed insanity 

 

 You ASCAP, if BMI 

 Could ever make a mountain fly 

 If Japanese can boil teas 

 Then where the fuck's my royalties...aar

 Yak yak yak yak 'oow
