lyrics

This Guitar Kills

You wanna be on Where Are They Now
You wanna be the lead player again
Think before you open your mouth
Don’t give ‘em a moment of Zen
If you speak ill of someone you know
Take a pill, chill, don’t slit your own throat
If you drink with the host of the show
Don’t give him an anecdote

Don’t ya feed doom scrollers and Tik Tok teens to get your crazy thrills
You’re just an old rock and roller
Don’t let your hippy lead player play lazy fills.
Look out – This guitar kills

You wanna preen on Where Are They Now
Say something mean just to get your kicks
Take your foot right out of your mouth
Stick to your guitar licks
If you trash some one
If you bash someone and gloat
If you must do blow with the host of the show
Don’t give him an anecdote

Don’t ya feed doom scrollers and Tik Tok teens to get your crazy thrills
You’re just an old rock and roller
Don’t let your hippy lead player play lazy fills.
Look out – This guitar kills

So, you wanna make a fool of yourself on
Where Are They Now
Look how you do, you’re so full of yourself
Like a, hey mama, look at me now

You wanna dish on Where Are They Now
You wanna wish you weren’t a has-been
There’s a hot mic right next to your mouth
Take a bit off your bitter end
Now, strap on that thing
And give me just one note
Now bend it like you mean it, don’t you in-between it
Baby, that’s all she wrote
You know, Robert had Jimmy to supply the chills
Ozzie had Tony and his power drills
Bruce gets the hammer from a guy named Nils
Even Crosby and Nash had Stephen Stills, Roger has Pete’s windmills
None of these guys
Yeah, none of these guys
None of these guys play lazy fills.
Look out – This guitar kills

John D. Lamb image

John D. Lamb Detroit, Michigan

Lamb spins a tale of love and woe full of true irony and forlorn humor…Lamb has given us a slice of life in which we find common ground, but is anything but commonplace…
