Mom, I'm begging you
Don't be mad at me
If I just want to
Sleep when sunlight's seen.
I opened a door,
And it stole my soul.
What controls my core -
Now it's rock-n-roll.
Was a shock at age 15.
Was a sight I'd never seen.
Was a pit and bloody lip.
Time and time again was hit.
It was Hatfield and Mustaine.
It was Deftones and Mudvayne.
I went down a deadly track,
And there is no turning back.
I beg you, forgive me ma.
There is no turning back.
Know my life once and for all -
Now it's rock-n-roll.
It was Vedder and Cobain.
It was Staley in his Chains.
It was from the first refrain
That I heard in Crazy Train.
It's the Beatles and Woodstock,
Sex Pistols and Punk-Rock.
It was everything I saw.
It became my fatal flaw.
Forgive me, ma.
Mom, I'm begging you
Don't be mad at me
If I just want to
Sleep when sunlight's seen.
I opened a door,
And it stole my soul.
What controls my core -
Now it's rock-n-roll.
I beg you, forgive me ma...
Now it's rock-n-roll.
Know my life once and for all...
Now it's rock-n-roll.
Now it's rock-n-roll...
I beg you, forgive me ma...
There is no turning back...
Know my life once and for all...
Now it's rock-n-roll...
And I beg you, forgive me ma...
Just ma...
Mom, I'm begging you
Don't be mad at me
If I just want to
Sleep when sunlight's seen.
I opened a door,
And it stole my soul.
What controls my core -
Now it's rock-n-roll. beg you, forgive me ma...
There is no turning back...
Know my life once and for all...
Now it's rock-n-roll.
