NOTE: This song was written and performed by the Pre-Alice Cooper band back in their
school days. The members include Vincent Furnier/Alice Cooper (vocals), Glen Buxton (lead
Dennis Dunaway (bass), and John Speer (drums). This song was actually a big hit in
I didn't do the solo because you can barely hear it, also this isn't the Life and
of Alice Cooper version of the song, it's from the Spiders single (you can buy on iTunes).

Intro
Riff 1
Riff 1 (4x)
I said one day I’d find the game
Well now you know I'm not insane
You tried to take me for a ride
Now all you feel is suicide
Riff 2
We’re two of a kind
Riff 3
Take what you can find
Riff 4
So don’t blow your mind,
Riff 5
Away…
Riff 1 (4x)
You led me to another life
Of work and pain and sacrifice
I broke away from you somehow
And look who's goin' through it now
Riff 2
We’re two of a kind
Riff 3
Take what you can find
Riff 4
So don’t blow your mind,
Riff 5
Away…
Riff 1 (4x)
So now you know the reason why
I'm laughing here and why you cry
'Cause you don't mean a thing no more
And I'm just like I was before
Riff 2
We’re two of a kind
Riff 3
Take what you can find
Riff 4
So don’t blow your mind,
Riff 5
Away…

Riff 3
Take what you can find
