Russian Roulette Lyrics by Return

Straight Down the Line

1989

What do ya' think you're doin'
Better think through what you're doin'
Step back, see your life is a ruin
Your body ain't built for abusing like that

Stop and get out
Get out of the suicide circus
You better stand up and shout
Hit the brakes you're on the road to madness

But where will it end
Soon you've reached the end of the line
When you're hungry for action
And living on lies
You're playing russian roulette with your life

Just stop pretending
You're a victim of society
Yeah, the times are changin'
Yesterdays not what tomorrow will be

You got to make peace with your mind
The moment of truth is in your hand
So don't let it slip by
Don't hide your head in the sand

Or else it's the end
You'll reach the end of the line
Cause' when you're for action
And living on lies
You're playing russian roulette with your life
