Q&A
never had nothin' Lyrics
He's eighteen and he wants to die
He wants some glory but the price is high
He sees the way out and wants to touch the sky
A star for today and a corpse for tomorrow
The media love him just for a day
That's all he needs to pave his way
His hours of glory should have been made to last
but it all ended in just one blast
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever had nothin'
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever had nothin'
going up in a puff of smoke
going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke
I can see him villian, a noose around his neck
making his grand finale, his farewell to us all
why didn't he see a future?
why no bridges left to cross?
is all that existed in his mind
to be a star for just one day?
to reach the point of no return
after stardom for just one day
no turning back no after thoughts
just a bullet in his chest
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever had nothin'
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever had nothin'
going up in a puff of smoke
going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke
(going up in a puff of smoke
going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke
If I'm goin' out I'm takin' some of you fucks with me!
He wants some glory but the price is high
He sees the way out and wants to touch the sky
A star for today and a corpse for tomorrow
The media love him just for a day
That's all he needs to pave his way
His hours of glory should have been made to last
but it all ended in just one blast
I ain't ever had nothin'
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever had nothin'
going up in a puff of smoke
going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke
making his grand finale, his farewell to us all
why didn't he see a future?
why no bridges left to cross?
is all that existed in his mind
to be a star for just one day?
to reach the point of no return
after stardom for just one day
no turning back no after thoughts
just a bullet in his chest
I ain't ever had nothin'
I ain't ever been nothin'
I ain't ever had nothin'
going up in a puff of smoke
going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke
going up in a puff of smoke
I'm gonna go up in a puff of smoke
I wanna go up in a puff of smoke

I seem to remember this was about a French teenage criminal shot dead by police during an armed robbery in 1979.
