Story Behind The Song
It's a true story, of course...do YOU know any frontmen like this? I wanted to write a song with a double-hook, sort of like what Def Leppard frequently does, and does well. "U.S. Prime" is what showed up.
Song Description
A sex-drugs-rock'n'roll song about a young gentleman-apparently a singer in a band- who wears tight trousers and likes to tease chicks.

Lyrics
US Prime
I?m #1 at takin? care of myself
I always get enough to get me by
a rock ?n? roller, I?m an out-of-controller
there ain?t nothing that I won?t try
there ain?t a woman alive who could tear me down
I?m too young to shell out my heart
?cause I?m a teenage dream in skin-tight jeans
who?s livin? fast and lookin? sharp
I?m your red-blooded, your red-hot-blooded
all-American, star-studded
U.S. Prime (I?m Young-blooded)
I?m a U.S. prime (and you love it)
I?m a U.S. prime
look but don?t touch my
U.S. prime?
I was raised to learn the golden rule
but I learned to break it just the same
a wheeler-dealer, I?m the best in my field
proof of making good if you know the game
you never can tell when your number?s up
so you got to push it while you can
be a trend-setter, get-up-and-go-getter
what you want is everything I am
I?m your red-blooded, your red-hot-blooded
all-American, star-studded
U.S. Prime (I?m Young-blooded)
I?m a U.S. prime (and you love it)
I?m a U.S. prime
look but don?t touch my
U.S. prime?
DON?T TOUCH IT!!!
