He hit the ground running,
         Fm
At the speed of light.
                        G#
The star was brightly shining,
        Fm
Like a neon light.

Chorus:
           C#  G#   D#
It's your favorite son.
           C#  G#   D#
It's your favorite son.

A fixture on the talkshows,
To the silver screen.
From here to Colorado,
He's a sex machine.

                 Fm
But isn't it a drag?

                   C#
its pretty bloody sad,
                 D#
but isn't it a drag?

A clean-cut All-American,
Really ain't so clean.
His royal auditorium,
Is a murder scene.

Chorus

But isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
Isn't it a drag?
its pretty bloody sad,
but isn't it a drag?

Well no one says it's fair.
A#
Turn a teenage lush,
      F#    D#
To a millionaire.

Now where's your fucking champion?
On a "panty raid"
He's not the All-American,
That you thought you paid.

Chorus

                 G#
But isn't it a drag?
