Wasted rock ranger


* These 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!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Great White is an American rock band that won a Grammy Award. Formed in the 1970s, the group achieved popularity in the 1980s with albums like "Once Bitten" and "...Twice Shy", characterized by hard rock riffs and catchy melodies. Among their most notable songs are "Rock Me", "Save Your Love", and "Lady Red Light". The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, but the tragedy of 2003 at The Station nightclub in Rhode Island, where a fire during a concert killed over 100 people, deeply marked the group's history. Despite this tragic event, Great White continues to perform and record music.
