 G# He hit the ground running, Fm At the speed of light. G# The star was brightly shining, Fm Like a neon light. Chorus: C# G# D# It's your favorite son. C# G# D# It's your favorite son. A fixture on the talkshows, To the silver screen. From here to Colorado, He's a sex machine. Chorus Fm But isn't it a drag? G# Isn't it a drag? Fm Isn't it a drag? C# its pretty bloody sad, D# but isn't it a drag? A clean-cut All-American, Really ain't so clean. His royal auditorium, Is a murder scene. Chorus But isn't it a drag? Isn't it a drag? Isn't it a drag? its pretty bloody sad, but isn't it a drag? A# D# Well no one says it's fair. A# Turn a teenage lush, F# D# To a millionaire. Now where's your fucking champion? On a "panty raid" He's not the All-American, That you thought you paid. Chorus G# But isn't it a drag?
