Richard Hell & The Voidoids Who Says Lyrics

I saw what I had so
I got I got mad so
I guess I went bad so

Now I search for new endeavors
push my buttons wear my levers

[Chorus:]
Who says it's good good good to be alive?
Same ones who keep it a perpetual jive.
Who says it's good good good to be alive?
It ain't no good it's a perpetual dive.

There's nothing to win by
this sort of an outcry
Oh yeah we all know why

Cuz the world a person lives in is his brain. Well mine just gives in...

[Chorus]

It's clear that I choose to
live on I'm so used to...
but still it ain't news to

ditch it say when one incentive's
gained and gone though you're inventive

[Chorus]

Once born you're addicted
and so you depict it
as good, but who kicked it?

Users just can't see the horror
Tell one if you want to bore her

[Chorus]
