Mom, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight's seen
I opened a door and it stole my soul
What controls my core now it's rock-n-roll
Was a shock at age 15
Was a sight I'd never seen
Was a pit and bloody lip
Time and time again was hit
It was Hatfield and Mustaine
It was Deftones and Mudvayne
I went down a deadly track
And there is no turning back
I beg you, forgive me, ma
There is no turning back
Know my life once and for all now
It's rock-n-roll
It was Vedder and Cobain
It was Staley in his Chains
It was from the first refrain
That I heard in Crazy Train
It's the Beatles and Woodstock
Sex Pistols and punk-rock
It was everything I saw
It became my fatal flaw
Forgive me, ma
Mom, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight's seen
I opened a door and it stole my soul
What controls my core now it's rock-n-roll
I beg you, forgive me, ma
Now it's rock-n-roll
Know my life once and for all now
Now it's rock-n-roll
I beg you, forgive me, ma
There is no turning back
Know my life once and for all now
It's rock-n-roll
I beg you, forgive me, ma
Mom, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight's seen
I opened a door and it stole my soul
What controls my core now it's rock-n-roll
