Positvely 4th Street Songtext
von Violent Femmes

They just had an article about us in the Milwaukee Journal saying
"They′re really old. The Femmes are old"
Well, we're gonna do a song by someone who′s much older than us
Let me tell ya something
You're never too old to rock and roll
And if you suck, being young ain't gonna help you
This is by Bob Dylan
One, two, three, four

You′ve got a lotta nerve, you′ve got a lotta nerve
You've got a lotta nerve, you′ve got a lotta nerve

You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin′
You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just wanna be on the side that′s winnin'
You say I let you down, you know its not like that
If you're so hurt, why then don′t you show it?

You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve
You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve


No, I do not feel so good to see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a thief, perhaps I′d rob them
I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don′t you understand, its not my problem?
When you know as well as me, you'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it?

You′ve got a lotta nerve, you′ve got a lotta nerve
You've got a lotta nerve, you′ve got a lotta nerve (blow by blow)

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment, I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you

You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve
You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve
You've got a lotta nerve, you′ve got a lotta nerve
You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta, lotta nerve

You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve
You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve
You′ve got a lotta nerve, you've got a lotta nerve

Believe it or not, we bought the sheet music to figure that out
