Boy next door not too complacent[00:00:08]
Lost till he found how to pound the pavement[00:00:11]
He walked like a saint lost far in a world of sin[00:00:15]
No mama to assure his situation[00:00:22]
A misfit piss poor education[00:00:25]
He talked a big game but never could seem to win[00:00:29]
And southwest Detroit ain’t a place to talk no trash[00:00:36]
You can throw some dap but it’s best not to flash no cash[00:00:44]
You grow up quick fightin’ for the upper end of lower class[00:00:50]
And sometimes ya feel like sand in an hour glass[00:00:58]
Hey there young man you better dig down deep in your soul[00:01:05]
You better learn to play and pray God save rock n roll[00:01:11]
He got a four-piece band for his graduation[00:01:20]
A second hand van and they toured the nation[00:01:24]
But no one seemed to ever wanna sing a long[00:01:27]
They headed out west to find salvation[00:01:35]
But the Sunset Strip’s a big temptation[00:01:38]
The girls and coc*ine seemed to write every song[00:01:42]
But east LA ain’t a place to talk no trash[00:01:49]
You can play for tips but how long can that life last[00:01:56]
You grow up quick writin’ checks your a** can’t cash[00:02:03]
And sometimes ya feel like life’s movin’ way too fast[00:02:11]
Hey there young man you better dig down deep in your soul[00:02:17]
You better find your way and pray God save rock n roll[00:02:25]
Yeah God save rock n roll[00:02:32]
If you could find a way I swear I won’t sell my soul[00:02:40]
Hey God save rock roll[00:02:47]
Pave the way and hey God save rock n roll[00:02:55]
He got pegged to be the next sensation[00:03:16]
A big fat check for his aggravation[00:03:20]
And a renegade spot tucked way high up in the hills[00:03:23]
His songs played strong on every station[00:03:31]
And MTV in full rotation[00:03:34]
And his garage was filled up with big Cadillac DeVilles[00:03:38]
He sold his soul it was fabrication[00:03:46]
Found success but lost his patience[00:03:49]
Cuz livin’ on the road ain’t all it’s cracked up to be[00:03:53]
He got dropped in the middle of consolidation[00:04:00]
His wife took half and then taxation[00:04:03]
Left him right back at the alter on his knees[00:04:07]
And southwest Detroit ain’t a place to talk no trash[00:04:14]
Hey mister big shot how’s it feel to be back [00:04:22]
Yeah you made it became a member of the upper class[00:04:28]
Forgot your roots and made everybody kiss your a**[00:04:36]
Hey there young man I bet ya never thought you'd get this old[00:04:43]
I’m still tryin’ to be I’m still singin’ in key I’m still livin’ free[00:04:50]
So f**k you all I said long live rock n roll[00:05:02]
