Duff McKagan - Swamp Song Lyrics

I don't really need the ego
Of being a pop star
Playing rock and roll makes
Me stand hard and tall

Once an old man with blood on his hands said
"Pick up my guitar and use it"
Then he took it from me said
"Let your soul run free"

People get so stuck
On getting their name in lights
Fuckin' some famous model
Keepin' their assholes tight

So I played that guitar
Till my dick got hard
I fucked that bitch night and day

Time went by and that old man died
Got a note, "Remember what I said"
Brought flowers to his grave
Laid 'em down and my fingers started to bleed
I was finally free, I was finally free, yeah

People get so stuck
On getting their name in lights
Fuckin' some famous model
Keepin' their assholes tight

Uh, uh, uh, don't get me wrong, I ain't singin'
This song 'bout bros who truly deserve it
But money and fame is for those truly lame
The ones who need to get their heads lit

So I play my guitar
Yeah, I played that bitch all night long
Yeah, I played my guitar
I was finally free

So keep your head clear
Don't believe what you hear
Just play what comes from your soul
But if money and fame is your fuckin' game
Then I hope you die fat and old

So keep your head clear
Don't believe what you hear
Just play what comes from your soul
But if money and fame is your fuckin' game
Then I hope you die fat and old
