I know you're only talking To keep the silence out Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt You're just handing out bad reputations Why don't you shut your mouth Overnight sensation, All mouth and no soul The bad boys sold your franchise And stole your Rock 'n' Roll I know I ain't no beauty But I know who I am I ain't running for sheriff I ain't that kind of man To live outside the law , my dear You gotta give a damn Overnight sensation You be shot full of holes The bad boys stole your franchise And stole your Rock 'n' Roll You know you put the hurt on me You do it all the same Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all Our faces fit the frame You know I'm only talking To keep you here with me Maybe you should listen How hard could it be Good manners don't cost nothing But that ain't what you want from me Overnight sensation Turn your hard heart cold The bad boys sold your franchise And stole your Rock 'n' Roll You're just looking for someone To take your spirit home The bad boys sold your franchise, baby And stole your Rock 'n' Roll
