Lyrics
I eat Black Licorice and I drink motor oil WHOOOO! I tried to make a wish when I was just a boy. I wrote a manifesto around ten or so On top a wooden box I kept my toys. The things I used to hate when I was young are now the things that I enjoy. And now I'm hungry to survive. Good God I'm feeling so alive. Give me the keys I'm going to drive I'm on the go. Do you dig? Let's start the show I have arrived I don't just play guitar I've got magic hands You wish upon a star but I've got other plans I got a gig in every town I get around I'm going to get back if I can The things I used to hate when I was young I love now that I'm a man And now I'm hungry to survive. Good God I'm feeling so alive. Give me the keys I'm going to drive I'm on the go. Do you dig? Let's start the show I have arrived I might be stuck with nothing I took the hit My face a bearded roughening man I ain't got sh*t I got a little shack it's just 'round back Shanty Town I'm chomping at the bit Everything I used to hate when I was young has now become my favorite And now I'm hungry to survive. Good God I'm feeling so alive. Give me the keys I'm going to drive I'm on the go. Do you dig? Let's start the show I have arrived
