I’ve known these lyrics since the ‘70’s when I became a teen... who could have ever known how prescient Steppenwolf lyrics would become in application to today’s “issues”?... And ironically, most of the lyrics describe how liberal demoRAT mentality would evolve. ‘You want to get a handle on why liberal demoRATS are so stupid today?... I highly recommend that you go back and listen to the band.
Everybody’s Next One
Steppenwolf
She’s all alone, just lost another one
Met him yesterday and he’s already gone
And though tonight she’ll swear it was the last time
A smiling face will come that knows the right line
And then she’ll do all the right things with the wrong guy
And when he’s gone, next day she’ll sit and wonder why.
She doesn’t know why she’s everybody’s next one
‘Cause she’s afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some
All the pity in the world ain’t gonna help none
She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some.
She tries too hard and she comes on too strong
Digs herself too much and thinks she can’t be wrong
She’s too impressed by things that do not matter
To be the Queen of hearts is what she’s after
And then she’ll do all the right things with the wrong guy
And when he’s gone, next day she’ll sit and wonder why.
She doesn’t know why she’s everybody’s next one
‘Cause she’s afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some
All the pity in the world ain’t gonna help none
She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some.
John Kay is a smart guy. While other Steppenwolf members were getting stone, he secured the publishing rights to their songs.
He was actually born in East Germany, so he knows the horrors of Communism.
