Wasted Rock Ranger Lyrics

Wasted Rock Ranger lyrics

* These lyrics are copied exactly as they appear in the CD booklet.

 Jack is actually singing "An out-of-tune Les Paul'll get me by"

 

 This song appears on the Japanese release of ...Twice Shy

 It was released in the U.S. only on a single, and is now available on Great
White's Greatest Hits

 

 

 Well I'm a wasted rock ranger

 I live the life of danger

 On the road to find a higher high

 I don't need no one's affection

 All I need is my injection

 The music of wild rock will get me by *

 

 I've been doin' gigs since I was ten

 I really can't remember when

 I ever had a dollar to my name

 My ears are blown, my eyes are red

 I got big holes inside my head

 Snorting too much crystal and cocaine

 

 I have bennies with the breakfast toast

 Qualudes with the evening roast

 Assorted snorts of powder in between

 I don't think a day's gone by

 That I wasn't drunk or high

 It's the only way I keep my sanity

 

 From Kegger's Den to Hooterville

 My flaming tricks have topped the bill

 A thousand empty bottles earn my name

 Endless trains of one night stands

 Sharing gigs with half-assed bands

 And all the local groupies lay the same

 

 Well I could have had a payin' job

 Workin' for some fucked-up slob

 Wife and family, true security

 But I left that shit behind

 For that heavy metal grind

 'Cause rock'n roll is in my blood to stay

 (among other things)

 

 Hey! You're a wasted rock ranger

 You'll live life of danger

 Sing this song and follow it till the end

 When you reach number one

 You can overdose for fun

 And go and visit Jimi and his friends

 

 Hey! You're a wasted rock ranger

 You'll live a life of danger

 Sing this song and follow it till the end

 When we reach number one

 Hey! We'll all overdose for fun

 And we'll hang out with Jimi and his friends

 Yee haw!
