Russian Roulette

We shall be wild.
those of my age.
We shall be rebels, we shall be ruthless,
we shall ignore the old adages -
becoming bottles of brine
with shouts like sounds of animals,
and dressed to get jacked up,
by the dozen, by the hundred.

Thank God we have our morals.
Thank God we're almost twenty-one.
Thank God we're not dead yet,
so let's play a round of Russian roulette.

Let's play a round,
all around town.

We shall be wild,
we shall play with bullets.
We shall be protectors, and persecutors;
we shall love the bullshit -
becoming coffins of cancer,
fucking and fasting like animals,
and dying to find out how to be fake
for a friendship or a date.

Thank God we have our morals.
Thank God we have our freedom.
Thank God we're not grown yet,
so let's play a round of Russian roulette.

Let's play a round,
all around town.
Let's play a round,
all around town.
