People Like Me Lyrics
Artist(Band):Hanoi Rocks








You need someone to point your finger at
Well yeah, IÂ’m your man, IÂ’m everything you lack
Someone to kick around when IÂ’m down
Maybe steal my credit where success is found

Yeah, one once mightÂ’ve had a hit
But thatÂ’s yesterdayÂ’s news, now no one gives a shit
In the void of my depression time
I fought my way back to a better life

BUT IÂ’M SO JADED, DREAMS FADED
ITÂ’S HARDER THAN YOU THINK
LOVED, HATED, FRUSTRATED
IÂ’M THE MISSING LINK
RADIO AND MTV – YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME

I never did pussy-foot around
Or trade King for a day for a lifetime clown
I donÂ’t look back or before I leap
I get my kicks and I take the heat

All the same

IÂ’M SO JADED, DREAMS FADED
ITÂ’S HARDER THAN YOU THINK
LOVED, HATED, FRUSTRATED
IÂ’M THE MISSING LINK
RADIO AND MTV – YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!

SO JADED, FRUSTRATED
LIVINÂ’ ON A BRINK
YOU FEED OFF ME, LEAN ON ME
IÂ’M THE BEAT YOU MISSED

SO JADED, FRUSTRATED
ITÂ’S HARDER THAN YOU THINK
LOVED, HATED – I MADE IT
IÂ’M THE MISSING LINK
RADIO AND MTV – YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!

I SAID, RADIO AND MTV - YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!

YouÂ’ll like me!

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

AN IMAGE WITH YOUR KIND OF POTENTIAL
CAN SHAPE UP ALL THE SHAPES OF THINGS TO COME
YOU BUILD YOUR DREAMS SO HIGH, UP TO THE SKY
DONÂ’T LET THEM CRUMBLE DOWN ON YOU
NOW IF EVER ALL THE KIDS SHOULD GET UNITED
AND CHANGE THIS WORLD FOR BETTER ONCE Â’NÂ’ FOR ALL
GRAB THE POWER, STEAL THE THRONE
USE SOFTWARE, STICKS OR STONES
DONÂ’T LET THIS PLANET BURN DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
TEENAGE REVOLUTION
IN THE HEART OF THE TOWN
TEENAGE REVOLUTION
SPREAD THE WORD AROUND
NOW THEY GOT TWO GUNS PER EVERY HOUSEHOLD
LIKE IN THE WILD WESTERN DAYS OF OLD
THEY BUILD MORE PRISONS THAN SCHOOLS
TOO MANY TRIGGER-HAPPY FOOLS
DONÂ’T LET THEM SHOOT YOU DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
TEENAGE REVOLUTION
IN THE HEART OF THE TOWN
TEENAGE REVOLUTION
SPREAD THE WORD AROUND
TEENAGE REVOLUTION
TEENAGE REVOLUTION...

Now that some much time has passed
I know that this love of ours will last forever
Cos we feel it, keep it, hold it and believe it
You need me like I need you
I know you do, I'm sure you do

The lights are slowly going down
On Lexington Avenue
And me, I`m all alone feeling the tears
falling down from my eyes

A subway train is passing by
Driving into the Darkness
I jump inside `cos I ain`t got
nowhere to sleep tonight

Don`t you ever leave me baby
Don`t you ever leave me now
Don`t you ever leave me baby
If you leave me you will kill me now

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! With my pale lips in the pillow I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
After dark is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away

This town was built on muddy stilts
By the lunatic parade
It rains like Revelations
Gonna wash these freaks away
Some girls wanna hold your hand
And some girls like to pray
Well my girl takes her drinks
With dust and rusty razor blades

As I lie between these covers
I wanna tell her that I love it
When she chokes me in the
Backseat of her riverboat 'cause

She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that big meat
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more

Just a' urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Evrybody's doin' their time

Chorus:
Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who ya gonna believe

Chorus

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said -
Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind - "Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times
