If you don't know when or where
Any road will take you there
But won't bring you back again

It was a long road to the top
But a short one to the drop
I do what I can

It's what Jack and Jackie knew
Brigitte and Marilyn, too
When blondes ruled the earth

Back in nineteen forty five
it was just good to be alive
Though we followed skinny shadows in the dirt

What did I do in the war
Shaking life a leaf in fall
A player looking for a vote

Love came with a ransom note
Or worse
Another innocence was through

with 'good luck charm' and 'love me do'
and we were never the same again
And that Jimi got to play

In 'Nam the choppers got to rain
It was like Jack and Jackie knew
Brigitte and Marilyn, too

When blondes ruled the earth
Blondes rule the earth
