The Aging Musician Lyrics - Gingerbread Man - Residents

Run, run, run, run 

Run, run, run, run 

Run, run, fast as you can 

Run, run, fast as you can 

Run, run, fast as you can 

You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man 

Once upon a time I played electric guitar 

And they said I was a rock and roll star 

Now nobody calls me on the telephone 

So I sit and watch my TV all alone 

Maybe if I put a bullet in my brain 

They'd remember me like Kurt Cobain 

And the parasites on MTV 

Would wipe their eyes and act like they knew me 

But I wouldn't be a hero I'd be dead 

Just a note beside a corpse that read 

If you like to pretend that you'll never get old 

You got what it takes to rock and roll

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Jagger - he was a poet 

None of this three chords and a hairdresser crap 

I just need a couple of players 

With a couple of really good players 

I could have a band again go back on the road 

C'mere boy 

Play real music, none of this computer crap 

Real music 

We could go big 

Whatever happened to music 

Now it's all about marketing and media coverage 

Goddamn MTV 

Everything was okay before MTV 

And gun control - like gun control's gonna stop anything 

A Trooper Mark III'll stop just about anything 

C'mere boy 

Schnauzer, where's Uzi? 

Is he outside? 

Nothing's right anymore not even TV 

Davy Crockett said it all 

If you're sure you're right then go ahead on 

Now nothing's right 

Goddamn MTV
