about

I remember where and when I wrote this and it's one of the only songs that came out in one go. I came up with the riff and then just chanted Rock N' Roll nonsense over it until some of it stuck. Fun fact: The middle 8 is my Beatles moment. You would not fucking believe how long the lead guitar parts took to record and I ain't gonna tell you.

lyrics

I've got holes in my shoes
I've got the makings of the blues
You can hear it all over town
Friends in low places, the devil's looking down

Gonna do wrong, do wrong right.

When I start to talking, baby, I can't stop
Gonna tear it down, gonna rip it up
I'm driving nails in my coffin the old fashioned way
Ain't no stopping me no matter what you say.

Got eight arms to hold you
Do all the things I'm not supposed to
It's about time you learned the truth
I'm a cartoon and I'm bulletproof

Light the match, baby, and stand well back
Your failure is my power pack
Oh the humanity, the degradation
Putting the varnish on my bad reputation
