Last Great Massacre
Here's a story about this kidSetting a path a bit different than the rest of us did.His Daddy hit the bottle everyday, sometimes twiceWhen his son was just fifteen he took his life.Climbing into high societyHis Mom set a course for high esteem.She gave her kid much affluenceEven bought him a guitar one Christmas.He said, “Thanks Mom. I hear your pleas but I don't care what you say 'cause I want to be…The last great rock ‘n roll manIn the last great rock ‘n roll band.”She pushed him into corporate life one like her own.He disappeared one day without any calls back to home.Moving around towns, convinced he was the bestThought he was John Lennon before he even had a hit.Started taking drugs and playing every instrumentTold everyone he talked to God about shit.“And thy Lord said onto me that one day I will be…The last great rock ‘n roll manIn the last great rock ‘n roll band.”He was gonna start a revolution, was gonna get paidIf it wasn't his way it could just fade away.SongtexteUps and downs, and downs and outs,The people around him wanted to know what this kid was really about.They expected either a miracle or the devil to show his faceOn stage, entertainment and riots were one in the same.“Yeah, Listen man if you fuck with me I'll kick you in the God damn teeth, 'cause I'm…The last great rock ‘n roll manIn the last great rock ‘n roll band.”The band broke up but you couldn't convince himHe still trudged around committed to his revolution.Everybody dropped it, turned their backs and minds away“He's just and arrogant prick. His petty fits will keep him stuck in one place.”But as time goes by his legend grows,We'll never know if some kid walking through a record storeWill say, “Hey man look what I picked up today, what a find this guy was great. He was…The last great rock ‘n roll manIn the last great rock ‘n roll band.” Aus Songtexte Mania
