Lyrics

Born in Bromley, raised on noise — A snarling voice, no polished toys He kicked it off in '76 With Generation X and punk-rock licks Leather jacket, bleach-blonde flame A sneer that burned the old world's name From London's clubs to dirty dives He played it loud — he lived alive But when the punk wave hit the wall He took that spark and rode the call Across the sea in '81, New York called — the rebel run He lit the match, he dropped the bomb A British voice with Yankee charm He's the king of no disguise With a rebel yell and wild wild eyes From Gen X nights to MTV He turned the fight into a legacy With Steve Stevens by his side A six-string god for every ride White Wedding, Flesh for Fantasy A twisted dream of purity He crashed, he bled, he took the pain But legends rise and ride again The snarling ghost of leather pride Still howls beneath the blue blue sky The critics laughed, the punks moved on But he stayed sharp, the fire strong From '83 to when I die... Backpatch Idol rides with I He's the king of no disguise With a rebel yell and battle cries From Gen X nights to MTV He carved his name in history Generation Idol... still alive. Still ridin'. Still ridin'. my Generation Idol Still ridin'. my Generation Idol Still ridin'. my Generation Idol Still ridin'. my Generation Idol Still ridin'. my Generation Idol
