Serious Business - John Mellencamp

You ain’t goin' nowhere

Gonna sit by this pool until you fall in

Didn’t know what you were getting into

When you walked in to this room now did you kid

We got some girls over here

We got some boys over there

And they’re here just for your fun

So have some dinner, baby, play some records

But just remember one thing son

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll

You know my head is sweating

I can’t dance and I can’t relax

Outside is too threatening now

I’ve come this far and I can’t go back

Call up some old friends

Call up some strangers

Get me used to that French telephone

Donna Donna educate me

But tell those girls that I’m not alone

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll

Take my life

Take my soul

Put me on the cross for all to see

Put my name around my neck

Let those people throw stones at me

This is serious business

Sex and violence and rock and roll
