Behind Closed Doors
Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Behind closed doors we are no better
Behind closed doors we are no better now.

Someone's in the shadows the dirt's in the drugs
Goddamn I'm surrounded by perv good doers
And they keep jabbering and jabbering about stuff
And I keep telling my secrets I think I've heard enough.
Behind closed doors we are no better.
Behind closed doors we are no better now.

Here's one line for beauty and one line for youth.
And one line for ruthless how ruthless are you?
We'll take a left at the cemetery of the abandoned house.
Follow me ask no questions and I will show you how.

Behind closed doors we are no better.
Behind closed doors the bright lights are going...
Crazy like murder she's falling from the sky.
Loaded like roases her cocaine covered eyes.

Tell me all the secrets all the bad things that have happened
And I won't tell.
The hatred and sorrow and the anger that will follow
And I won't tell anyone.





Behind closed doors we are no better.
Behind closed doors we are no better now.
