Ashes

This shit is rock-n-roll to me, there's no controlling me

I sold my soul and stole the gold from royalty

I’m locked and loaded until the motor overheat

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 bein’ broke awoke in me

The homes of those who tried to slow my roll

And throw me to the wolves will turn up burnt and smolderin'

I fillin' the coffins with everything that I wanted

And then I'll drag them 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 savin’ just in case

I get to where I’m headed and I still need change

I feel the ghost of rock-n-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 feelin' when you love destructively

It's claws are stuck in me, it promise luxury

If I said I trust you, you are dumb for trustin' 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

With all the Tom MacDonald, you exist because of me

I'm fuelin' the fire with little beautiful liars

They burn the brightest and I pull out every tooth with the pliers

They get a funeral suitable for the winners that ruined

All 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-n-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 burnin' the people who said that I can't

I'm burnin' the churches that worship the damned

Then housin' the holy wherever I stand

I feel the ghost of rock-n-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
