I did not want
to hang from a tree
so I ate the world
before it ate me
down the river
down the hill
down the drain it went
and me
all that time with
a guitar in my hand
the water kept rising
up to my neck
when all of a sudden
I heard a big crack
the next thing I
can’t remember no more
but when I woke up
I was safe ashore
my guitar was gone
but instead I find
this great big rock
and a turning mind
looking for answers
and clues that could tell
why life is sad
and living hell
mmmmh
mmmmh
mmmmh
mmmmh
I still don’t know why
but know it don’t matter
because today I feel much better
roll roll rock ’n roll
rock n’ rock n’ roll
rock n’ rock n’ roll
rock rock
and the sun it shines through my legs for all
