Ashes

This shit is rock and roll to me, there's no controlling me I sold my soul and stole the gold from royalty I'm locked and loaded till the motor overheats I'll rock the boat in seas I'm not supposed to be The Holy Ghost is in my broken bones And Heaven only knows what being broke awoke in me The homes of those who tried to slow my roll And throw me to the wolves will turn up burned and smoldering I'm filling the coffins with everything that I wanted And then I'll drag 'em behind me so they will not be forgotten I hit the bottle so often that when I did hit the bottom It didn't even hurt even a bit, but now I proceed with caution And I've been haunted by rotten bodies, the path that I've plotted Been full of haters and demons, I burn the bridge when I cross it I got a dollar in my pocket that I'm saving just in case I get to where I'm headed, and I still need change I feel the ghost of rock and roll take hold of me An overdose of I don't care what you believe So fuck 'em all, I'm Jimmy Page, I'm Kurt Cobain I'm Rolling Stones, lay Guns N' Roses across my grave Ashes to ashes, mama Ashes to ashes, papa This shit is blood and guts to me, it's mud and rust to me That type of feeling when you love destructively Its claws are stuck in me, it promised luxury If I said I trust you, you are dumb for trusting me Hate me publicly or wait for company Or pray to God, your devil never summons me Either way, you don't have shit to say Without a Tom MacDonald, you exist because of me I'm fueling the fire with little beautiful liars They burn the brightest, then I pull out every tooth with the pliers They get a funeral suitable for the rumors that ruined All of the truth in my music, I took the food out the fryer I've been hell and back without a burn, my boots made of iron I keep a cooler full of booze 'cause I'm a juvenile tyrant I never lose, I get with Lucifer, and he knows who I am So when you meet him, say I said, "What up?", there's zero survivors I feel the ghost of rock and roll take hold of me An overdose of I don't care what you believe So fuck 'em all, I'm Jimmy Page, I'm Kurt Cobain I'm Rolling Stones, lay Guns N' Roses across my grave Ashes to ashes, mama Ashes to ashes, papa Bitch, I got bands Don't want no revenge 'Cause, bitch, I got plans All I need is my fans With the world in my hands I'm burning the people who said that I can't I'm burning the churches that worship the damned Then housing the holy wherever I stand I feel the ghost of rock and roll take hold of me An overdose of I don't care what you believe So fuck 'em all, I'm Jimmy Page, I'm Kurt Cobain I'm Rolling Stones, lay Guns N' Roses across my grave Ashes to ashes, mama Ashes to ashes, papa
