  • Hey bro, take it slow
    You ain't livin' in a video
    You're flying low with a high velocity
    No doubt, you're stressin' out
    That ain't what rock n' roll's about
    Get off that one way trip down lonely street

    Now I know you've been kicked around
    You ain't alone in this ugly town
    You stick a needle in your arm
    You bite the dust, you buy the farm

    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    What ya tryin' to do
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    They win you lose
    Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid

    C'mon girl, it's a better day
    Get your foot out of that grave
    Don't let that one love tear your world apart
    C'mon babe, kick that stuff
    Show the street it ain't so tough
    Quit lyin' around with a crippled, broken heart

    Now I know you've been seeing red
    Don't put a pistol to your head
    sometimes your answer's heaven sent
    Your way is so damn permanent

    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    What ya tryin' to do
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    They win you lose
    Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid

    This ain't your daddy talkin'
    You know, I know
    Your story ain't so shocking
    You know, I know
    Blow some steam
    C'mon and scream

    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    What ya tryin' to do
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    They win you lose
    Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid Writer/s: Alice Cooper, Bob Pfeifer, Jack Ponti, Vic Pepe

  • Morgan from Haskell, NjI love this song. Basically says "Yeah, I know you've seen some hard times. But so has just about everyone else out there! So get off your butt, punch a pillow a few times, and go do something about your life!" Almost the exact opposite message of those songs I hate that just wallow in self-pity... frankly, if you don't like the message of this song, you're probably feeling pretty sorry for yourself. HEY STOOPID!
  • Lester from New York City, NyGREAT album. 'Wind Up Toy' is a sequel to Alice's 'Steven'.
