Can You Live as Fast as Me?

I believe in the power of rock 'n' roll
And I believe that Exxon can save my soul
They pull your strings
You just don't know it
They pull mine too
But I try not to show it
I don't know what to say
When you take your light away
I try to do my very best
And to disregard the rest
When you leave what can you do?
When your dream what do you see?
I'm afraid it's just too new
Can you live as fast as me?
I believe in the power of rock 'n' roll
And I believe that Exxon can save my soul
They pull your strings
You just don't know it
They pull mine too
But I try not to show it
I got my baby on a chain
Because it helps to ease the pain
Occam's razor cuts so deep
It's the one thing I can keep
When you leave what can you do?
When your dream what do you see?
I'm afraid it's just too new
Can you live as fast as me?
I believe in the power of rock 'n' roll
And I believe that Exxon can save my soul
They pull your strings
You just don't know it
They pull mine too
But I try not to show it
I don't know what to say
When you take your light away
I try to do my very best
And to disregard the rest
When you leave what can you do?
When your dream what do you see?
I'm afraid it's just too new
Can you live as fast as me?
