Give the Kid a Break - Alice Cooper

Written by：Al MacMillan/Bob Ezrin/John Tropea/The Hollywood Vampires

Don't know why I'm down here

Must be something I said

Or some small imperfection

In my soul or in my head

Don't know why I'm down here

Don't reserve to roast or bake

I'm fighting off slanderous allegations

Why don't you give the kid a break

Don't you think maybe

We could talk this over

You're a reasonable man

Could we discuss my grave situation

I'm a miserable man

And I'm in the frying pan

Give the kid a break

Give me one good reason why I should

Give the kid a break

All right all right so I made a few mistakes

But for heaven's sake

Watch your language kid

OK OK don't get hot

Don't question my judgement

He only reaped what he sowed

He cast his pearls before swine

And that's good enough for me

I don't want to talk it over

Even tho' I'm a reasonable man

Sonny from over here

Looks like you're in no position to bargain

You're a convicted man

You're right in the frying pan

Give the kid a break

Please give me a break

Give the kid a break

Nah nah I don't think so man

Come on you know I got what it takes

Can't you give me a break

Sure thing kid when hell freezes over

OK don't give the kid a break

Hey you guys I thought

Don't

Give the kid a break

Yeah well thanks a lot pals

Listen boss maybe

We can make a little deal

Isn't there anything I can say

Or some kind of fine I can pay

Anything

Don't know why I'm down here

Must be something I said I'm sorry

Or some small imperfection

In my soul or in my head

It might be some infection

It might be a small imperfection

Or a clear case of misdirection

It must be a small imperfection

In my soul or in my head
