here comes johnny yen again
with the liquor and drugs
and a flesh machine

he's gonna do another strip tease
hey man, where'd you get that lotion?

i've been hurting since i bought the gimmick about
something called love
yeah, something called love
well, that's like hypnotising chickens

well, i'm just a modern guy
of course, i've had it in the ear before
'cause of a lust for life (x2)

i'm worth a million in prizes
with my torture film
drive a g.t.o.
wear a uniform
all on government loan

i'm worth a million in prizes
yeah, i'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk no more
beating my brains
no more beating my brains
with the liquor and drugs (x2)
well, i'm just a modern guy
of course, i've had it in my ear before
'cause, of a lust for life (lust for life)
'cause, of a lust for life (lust for life, oooo)
i've got a lust for life (oooh)
got a lust for life (oooh)
oh, a lust for life (oooh) (x2)
a lust for life (oooh)
i've got a lust for life (oooh) (x2)
well, i'm just a modern guy
of course, i've had it in my ear before
'cause i've a lust for life (x2)
