CommentsRecorded at The Record Plant, N.Y. Scene 1 - The back room at Max's Kansas City All around are barely familiar faces, each with the same look of despair. At the back corner table under a hideous red fluorescent light sculpture sits our hero. A salad is set before him and he begins to sing and sob into it. As the last strains of the song die away, everyone leaves our hero alone to despair his miserable life of struggling for stardom. Enter a covey of N.Y.C. rock critics. They are despairing the low ebb in popular opinion toward rock critics. Every night they meet to tell stories about high school (what else). Our hero (in disgust): "It doesn't have to be perfect as long as it's...you know...if it's stupid enough, it's cool." Richard Meltzer (played by Amos Garret): "Ah, my meat!"

    Lyrics »

Tell everyone that I am sorry, truly sorry
For all the wrongs I done
I never meant to hurt nobody
I never want to do no wrong

I have lied, I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship won't be coming in
As I lay me down to take my rest
I see that it's just dust in the wind

Take hold my hand, hold it tighter, ever tighter
You must believe that I love you still
But my strength, it grows weaker, ever weaker
And my body has lost it's will

Oh my lord, I have lost once again
And I got no one to help me find my way
But I never wanted to hurt nobody
And I never wanted to do no wrong
