An inspirational tirade against me
How to explain my life
Girls to the left of me
Boys to the right of me
Neither a husbands nor a wife
Though the days are filled with pain
There is no one who'll explain why I'm...

Coming under friendly fire
Shot in the fatal cause of rock'n'roll
But there's no one, really no one to say...

Why I endure under force majeure
Slander without shame or tact?
I who studied make-up, mime and Buddha
Who taught two generations to react
About me the critics lied
I ignored them and survived in spite of...

Coming under friendly fire
Shot in the fatal cause of rock'n'roll
But there's nothing, really nothing to deny...

When I look back, my eyes are filled with tears
Danger to mascara applause to my peers

When fame sustained me and arenas acclaimed me
I floated through life on a cloud
Of love and insanity and pagan profanity
Before a worshiping crowd
Now my status is ill-defined
As an icon I'm inclined to be...

Coming under friendly fire
Shot in the fatal cause of rock'n'roll
But whatever dull or clever points they've scored
I have never, oh no never, been ignored
