Scumbag Blues

[Verse 1: Josh Homme]

Innocence has no resistance

Against a wicked counselor such as I

[Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme]

You won't make it out

You won't make it out

[Verse 2: Josh Homme]

Shall I lead you to my parlor?

Poison offers disguised in just your size

[Refrain: Grohl, Jones, Homme]

You won't make it out

You won't make it out

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Josh Homme]

You may think me altruistic

Feel my dark hypnosis closing in

[Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme]

You won't make it out

You won't make it out

[Chorus: Josh Homme]

Then you grow cold, cold, as a stare

As if no, none could compare

But you don't know how close, to ensnare

When I control, you will despair

[Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme]

You won't make it out

You won't make it out

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4: Josh Homme]

Sycophancy, solipsistic

Spider plays the fool to lure the fly

[Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme]

You won't make it out

You won't make it out

[Chorus: Josh Homme]

Then you grow cold, cold, as a stare

As if no, none could compare

But you don't know how close, to ensnare

When I control, you will despair
