    This song is generally written about the "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll" ego complex, and how this lifestyle is very unhealthy and leads to absolutely nothing but self-deprecation. I am kind of framing musicians that glorify this lifestyle as being weak and cowardly by them neglecting to acknowledge the influence they have on the youth of America who idolize them as cultural figures. I mean honestly if someone who is 15 years old looks up to Johnny Thunders as a hero what message are they absorbing? That ain't cool in my book.

lyrics

Said he was the son of rock n' roll and he would never die
and the last two words he spoke to us you know they weren't good bye
I said I know your heart is beating but its so misleading
With that medicine gun in your vein your smashed guitar is so cliche

and you shiver inside with malice in your eyes and a lions heart you roar but a child's soul you hide behind and least you looked good going down you're pedestals immortalized and you aren't coming down.

Nicholas BARKS HERE!!!

when the night sticks come out and the tear gas does flow
you sit debilitated and jaded in basements you do not know
and you think your life's a song written by someone long ago
singing about drug addiction your sitting in your grave all alone
