  • Kickin down the darkness
    Kick it on down the drain
    Kill the superstition
    Gotta get a state of grace

    (Chorus)
    It's the oldest story in the world
    There is nowhere left to hide
    So we take it all in stride
    When there's no more asking why

    There is nothing left to do
    But love~baby love~baby love you
    Crash the television
    Thrash those games and fools
    Gotta get a resolution
    Better go go back to school

    (Chorus)

    Fair-weather friends and fair-weather cool
    Righteous the right buy all the bad news
    Rich up the rich and dumb down the poor
    Take it no more Writer/s: ANN WILSON, CRAIG STEVEN BARTOCK, NANCY LAMOUREAUX WILSON

  • Carson from Bellingham, WaThis is my favorite rocker on Jupiters Darling. As soon as it hits that chord progression like a fast u-turn at the bridge. Wow. I can't help but repeating this track at least once more when I'm grooving on this album. And that bent up string thing that Nancy does on the guitar like Zepplin 'Whole lotta love'. It just kills me, as in KILLER!
  • Stefanie Magura from Rock Hill, Scgreat song! let's you know that they've still got it after having not recorded in 12 years! it rocks1
