Written by Ralph Covert Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Well I was born too late to be a Rolling Stone I don't know Jerry Lee I never me John & Yoko Standin' with a strat, I'm rock 'n' roll's bastard son Go out get drunk get wild have fun I don't got a million dollars don't drive a Cadillac Give me half a chance 'cause I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back You better get a bigger gun I'm not dead yet I've been machine-gunned handgunned hijacked left for dead Dive-bombed napalmed nuclear warheaded Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute Shot by a firing squad & raped by a business suit I'm dancin' on a land mine baby one leg left And I can still crawl and I'm not dead yet Well you're bigger tougher meaner rougher Dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier You wanna shoot me with a gun, cut me with a knife Take your bare hands baby rip out my eyes You knocked me to the floor then you bit me in the neck, well Hit me again cause I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet, no no I'm not dead yet Well I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck You better get a bigger gun, you better get a bigger gun Well there's a mugger in the alley there's a sniper in the hall There's a girl at the bar wants to get me by my balls And the hangman is hangin', if I autograph the noose Lee Harvey Oswald's brother's on the loose Mafia hit man with a bullet for my neck Some day he's gonna get me but I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck You better get a bigger gun, you better get your poison pen
