There's a guitar leaning on a Marshall stack Used to sound like the sun on the horizon Now I think we've been had There's a young girl screaming all the way in the back Poor kid, she never saw it coming Now she knows she's been had Watching labels spinning on my turntable There's no call waiting in my headphones And every star that shines in the back of my mind Is just waiting for its cover to be blown ♪ There's an eardrum bleeding, yeah it's in my head How could I still be so in love when I know We've been had? Republicans, Democrats can't give you the facts Your parents won't tell you till you're grown That every star that shines in the back of your mind Is just waiting for its cover to be blown ♪ Flashing the badges, just like the law of averages Nobody likes 'em where they're from And every star that hides on the back of the bus Is just waiting for its cover to be blown
