Slap Like Being Born Lyrics

I hear you won't dance, You say no one asks you anyway
Hard to make ends meet, Domino's every day
If the bible taught us anything
Adam got the best of the deal

Horizontal sailing, something that you want to do
Telephone is ringing but the message isn't getting through
How are you supposed to touch
If you don't even know how to feel?

We'll open up your eyes
No one gets two tries

You need a shot to knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock to force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
(Nothing less or more)
A slap like being born

Keystone holiday, you headed for the Show Me state
Trials and tribulations, money came a little late
Stoned downtown
With a paper bag and no shoes

Well, so much innocence, lose it in a second flat
Revolution on the way
You tell me what's up with that
This stuff was over back in 1972

So open up your eyes
You're in for a surprise

You need a shot to knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock to force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
(Nothing less or more)
A slap like being born

Don't even go there
Don't even bother to try
'Cause you know if you go there
Yeah, you might as well kiss me goodbye

You're in for a surprise
No one gets two tries

You need a shot to knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)
You need a shock to force your brain to breathe
(A slap like being born)
You need a shot to knock you on your knees
(A slap like being born)

You need a shock to force your brain to breathe
Nothing less or more
(Nothing less or more)
A slap like being born

You need a shot
You need a shot
You need a shot
