kid rock - god save rock
[00:07.33] Boy next door not too complacent
[00:10.55] Lost till he found how to pound the pavement
[00:14.13] He walked like a saint lost far in a world of sin
[00:21.57] No mama to assure his situation
[00:25.45] A misfit piss poor education
[00:28.90] He talked a big game but never could seem to win
[00:35.80] And southwest Detroit ain’t a place to talk no trash oh no
[00:42.98] You can throw some dap but it’s best not to flash no cash
[00:50.14] Hey You grow up quick, fightin’ for the upper end of lower class
[00:57.58] And sometimes ya feel like sand in an hour glass
[01:04.39] Hey there young man, you better dig down deep in your soul
[01:12.01] You better learn to play and pray God save rock n roll
[01:19.44] He got a four-piece band for his graduation
[01:23.42] A second hand van and they toured the nation
[01:27.14] But no one seemed to ever wanna sing a long
[01:34.32] They headed out west to find salvation
[01:37.77] But the Sunset Strip’s a big temptation
[01:41.49] The girls and cocaine seemed to write every song
[01:48.92] But east LA ain’t a place to talk no trash oh no
[01:55.82] You can play for tips but how long can that life last
[02:03.00] Yeah You grow up quick, writin’ checks your ass can’t cash
[02:10.18] And sometimes ya feel like life’s movin’ way too fast
[02:17.08] Hey there young man, you better dig down deep in your soul
[02:24.52] You better find your way and pray God save rock n roll
[02:29.57] Save rock n roll
[02:32.48] Yeah God, save rock n roll
[02:39.13] If you could find a way I swear I won’t sell my soul
[02:46.75] Hey God, save rock roll
[02:54.19] Pave the way and hey God save rock n roll
[02:59.24] -
[03:15.97] He got pegged to be the next sensation
[03:19.68] A big fat check for his aggravation
[03:23.15] And a renegade spot tucked way high up in the hills
[03:30.31] His songs played strong on every station
[03:34.04] And MTV in full rotation
[03:37.75] And his garage was filled up with big Cadillac DeVilles
[03:45.19] He sold his soul it was fabrication
[03:48.64] Found success but lost his patience
[03:52.36] Coz livin’ on the road ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
[03:59.53] He got dropped in the middle of consolidation
[04:03.52] His wife took half and then taxation
[04:06.97] Left him right back at the alter on his knees
[04:14.41] And southwest Detroit ain’t a place to talk no trash
[04:21.05] Hey mister big shot, how’s it feel to be back?
[04:28.48] Yeah you made it, became a member of the upper class
[04:35.66] Forgot your roots and made everybody kiss your ass
[04:42.57] Hey there young man, I bet ya never thought you'd get this old
[04:50.30] I’m still tryin’ to be, I’m still singin’ in key,
[04:57.74] I’m still livin’ free
[05:01.45] So fuck you all I said long live rock n roll! rock n roll!
