"Swamp Song" lyrics - DUFF MCKAGAN

I don't really need the ego
Of being a pop star
Playing rock & roll makes
Me stand hard & 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"

[Chorus:]
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 & 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

[Chorus]

Uh uh uh
Don't get me wrong I ain't singin'
This song bout bros who truly
Deserve it
But money & 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

[Chorus-Bridge]

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

[Repeat]
