We're having a party
We're burning it down
We're building an idol
He's sad but he don't frown
He's the cream of the crop
So we're making him god
Start writing this down
When I give you the nod
Them Coptic monks
Knew how to keep it real
That Rosicrucian thing
That Zoroastrian deal
Well, they might be wrong
They don't give a damn
Long as they don't run out
Of sacrificial lambs
Eat my dust
And I'll clean your clock
Eat my dust
And we'll reel and rock
Eat my dust
And I'll be your man
You can be my
Sacrificial lamb
Madame Blavansky
And her friends
Changed lead into gold
And back again
Krishnamurti said,
"I'll set you free
Write a check
and make it out to me"
Take a look
At my family tree
Every brother and sister
Wants something for free
You get what pay for
From me, my friend
Nothing for nothing
Forever, amen
Eat my dust
You can touch my stole
Eat my dust
And we'll rock and roll
Eat my dust
And I'll be your man
You can be my
Sacrificial lamb
Smokey and the Bandit
And Saddam Hussein
Were staying up late
And acting insane
Along with Russell Crowe
And Hafez Assad
Start taking this down
When I give you the nod
The boys are all ready
They've laid out the plans
They're setting the stage
For the man-made man
We've worked out the kinks
In your DNA
So sayonara, kid
Have a nice day
Eat my dust
And I'll clean your clock
Eat my dust
And we'll reel and rock
Eat my dust
And I'll be your man
You can be my
Sacrificial lamb

Warren Zevon (1947-2003) è stato un cantautore, chitarrista e pianista rock statunitense. Nato a Chicago, Illinois, Zevon ha trascorso la sua infanzia in California, dove ha iniziato a suonare musica all'età di 15 anni. Dopo aver lavorato come musicista di sessione per diversi artisti, tra cui Linda Ronstadt e The Everly Brothers, Zevon ha debuttato come solista nel 1976 con l'album "Warren Zevon". Conosciuto per il suo umorismo nero, le sue canzoni spesso esploravano temi oscuri e ironici, mescolando rock, folk e country. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money" e "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di spicco, tra cui Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks e Jackson Browne. La sua musica è stata influenzata da diverse fonti, tra cui Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie e i Beatles. Zevon è stato diagnosticato con un cancro al pancreas nel 2002 e morì l'anno successivo all'età di 56 anni. Nonostante la sua breve carriera, Zevon ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica rock americana.
