Roses And Chrome

There wasn't blood or any thunder when the Romance ended
On the eve of Graduation Day, you were
Looking like the child that we still remember
Taking everything the honest way
So when you brought the news to your principle boy
You say he wouldn't try to understand
Wouldn't spare you a minute
Or offer to give you a hand
Give you a hand
She don't need this anymore
No roses, no chrome gonna keep her home
She don't need this anymore
No roses, no chrome only her alone
To the jokers on the corner shoutin' "You'll Be Back"
You only look up then you walk away
To the sympathetic kneelers on their tragic carpets
There's no reason good enough to say
To all master minds pointing from their battle stations
With their dirty hands over their hearts
There's no use in explaining there's no hope in
Wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
She don't need this anymore
No roses, no chrome gonna keep her home
She don't need this anymore
No roses, no chrome only her alone
She don't need this anymore
No roses, no chrome gonna keep her home
She don't need this anymore
No roses, no chrome only her alone
She don't need this anymore
Nothing, Nothing. Gonna keep her home
Keep her home
She don't need this anymore
