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 Hetfield 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
