Well you are killing yourself so slow
Well that's not the way to go
Better to do it fast like me
And get on with the show
Well come on now
You're lagging behind in boyhood
Now excess to the excess
And get yourself beat up, just like you should
Until it's understood

[Chorus]
You had a heart, a heart, a heart of gold
He had a heart he went and sold
You know he sold his passion for drugs and fashion
He's a copy cat rock and roll
You had a heart, a heart, a heart of gold
He had a heart he went and sold
You know you're such a dummy and no, it ain't funny
You're a copy cat rock and roll

Well you've got Mount Everest up your nose
And your head is a big balloon
Well you've got on your MTV clothes
And you're caught in the spider room
Yeah, it's kinda sad
Monkey see, monkey do
It happened to me too, y'know
I give you the truth here, 'cause we're friends
Now, before I let go...
[Chorus]
You had a heart, a heart, a heart of gold
You had a heart you went and sold
You know you sold your passion for drugs and fashion
You copy cat rock and roll
You had a heart, a heart, a heart of gold
You had a heart you went and sold
You know you're such a dummy and no, it ain't funny
You're a copy cat rock and roll

Get to the bottom, get to the bottom
And get to the problem, get to the problem...

[Chorus]
You had a heart, a heart, a heart of gold
You had a heart you went and sold
You know you sold your passion for drugs and fashion
You copy cat rock and roll
You had a heart, a heart, a heart of gold
You had a heart you went and sold
You know you're such a dummy and no, it ain't funny
You're a copy cat rock and roll
