independence dave

Alice Cooper

I got no shame, I ain't to blame, I got no memory
I got no conscience on my shoulder there to bother me
I'm on a trip without a script, into oblivion
I guess that's just the way I like to play to have some fun
I don't need a toke or have a smoke to try to clear my head
Ain't no use, already loose when I roll out of bed

I got no future, got not past, got no eternity
Don't need to know just gotta go, that's my reality
I'm all alone, I got no phone, I don't communicate
I got no pace, ain't in the race, so I'm never late
Don't need to cook or read a book, don't need to wash or shave
See I am free to be just me, I'm Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave
He's Dave, Independence Dave
He's Dave, Independence Dave

I got a girl, she's just a pearl from down in St. Clair Shore
But, there's a brother of another knockin' down my door
I got some money from a honey livin' way downtown
And there's this one who's got a gun, that's tryin' to hunt me down

I try to love 'em all, but I ain't no one's slave
'Cause when the rubber hits the road, I'm Independence Dave
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

There's two subpoenas, they're so mean as to suggest that I'm
The major perpetrator of a minor crime
They got my name on their claim, but anyone could see
Since I'm never anywhere, it clearly wasn't me
It's not that I'm so innocent or well-behaved
It's just that I'm the one and only Independence Dave

Woo!
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
Woo!
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)
Woo!
