Oh I can't go out with my friends on a Saturday night.
My guitar's like a woman and you know I got to treat her right.
I've got to practice all night and day,
I've got to play the way my heroes played,
I've got to learn how to do it D'Jango way...
...Well my teacher says their gonna kick me out of school,
Cause I'm nothin but a bee-bop twang-headed rock-n-roll fool,
If I don't do my homework I got to go,
They can't teach me what I got to know,
How do I make my guitar sound like a Les Paul?...
...I'll do the washin' up later, let me practice if I choose,
But how does Chuck Berry make it bounce right out of those grooves?...
...My girlfriend says she's gonna dump me any day soon,
If I don't stop strummin' my guitar I'll get out of my room.
If I don't get a life she's gonna look elsewhere,
She says theirs normal boys out there,
I said I catch you up when I ??D'Jango Reinhardt,Chuck Berry,Whos Next??...
...
...My mom and dad say their gonna put me on the street,
I'm ex-communicated till I get a gob and get on my feet.
They say I'm not makin a contribution,
But I'm still searchin for a musical solution,
I've got to know how The Shadows get that beat...
...Well I played and I played until my fingers bled,
I shout out all the voices but the voice in my head,
Now I'm standin on the stage and I do my stuff,
I may be as good but it's never good enough,
To tell you the truth and I always hit it
I still don't know how my heroes did it,
I still don't know how my heroes did it,
Guitar Heroes x4...
... outro
