Rattlesnake Highway

TV tells you not to cry
And teaches you how to stay alive
There's always something you can buy
And if you don't, don't be surprised at all
Just turn it off and close the door

Our politicians look ahead
They think it's not trendy to be sad
On the magazines all is glimmering
So you think you've seen another film for sure
So you close your eyes and shut the door

You hit the road you travelled so many times before
While everybody's searching the things they think they've lost
The thing you're sure of is

That Rattlesnake highway ride
It's the only road you gotta try
Paint your face within a smile
And if you've lost don't be surprised
'Cause if you want to stay alive
And you pretend to really own the world, no, no, no
The rattlesnake waits for your soul

You are young but getting old
Your future is precarious
But they tell you can have more time
For they keep on selling pretty stuff to show
How your easy life can speed up more

TV shows the win is free
Your life can be peaches and cream
It sells someone to emulate
If you can't buy, don't be surprised at all
Just turn it off and shut the door

You hit the road you travelled so many times before
While everybody's tired to search the things that they have lost
The road you're on is called the

Rattlesnake highway ride
It's the only road you gotta try
Paint your face within a smile
And if you've lost don't be surprised
You pretend to stay alive
But you know real TV lies
You can choose if they're wrong
When they'll tell you can really own the world, no, no, no
The rattlesnake longs for your soul

You hit the road that leads to

The Rattlesnake highway and fly
Upon that road and it's your pride
Paint your face within a smile
Save all your feelings in a file
If you get lost don't give a damn
Till everyone pretend to own the world, no, no, no
But the rattlesnake longs for your soul

The rattlesnake longs for your soul

Yeah
