Duff Mckagan - Swamp Song lyrics

I don't really need the ego

Of being a pop star

Playing rock n' roll makes

Me stand hard and tall

Once an old man with blood on his hands

Said "Pick up my guitar and use it"

The 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

Til 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

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 & fame is your fuckin' game

Then I hope you die fat & old
