Lyrics

Bilingual
Once upon a time I played electric guitar
And they said I was a rock and roll star
Now nobody calls me on the telephone
So I sit and watch my TV all alone
Maybe if I put a bullet in my brain
They'd remember me like Kurt Cobain
And the parasites on MTV
Would wipe their eyes and act like they knew me
But I wouldn't be a hero, I'd be dead
Just a corpse beside a note that read
"If you like to pretend that you'll never grow old
You've got what it takes to rock and roll"
Play me one more, boys
