the last of the arrogant rock and roll singers

lyrics

im the last of the arrogant rock and roll singers
to give the finger to fame

some kid from oklahoma
waving a back stage pass
got me up against the wall
and insolently asked
what is the procedure
what is the best plan
learn first to play an instrument
or just start up a band

he was the first of the small town losers
to suck off the finger of fame

some people say
they put this town on the map
but i am the map
and their guitars of craphe s
plugged a shitstorm of mediocrity
up the rainwater taps

im the last of the arrogant rock and roll singers
to give the finger to fame

i dont have any money
i dont any fans
but i can blow anyone off the stage
with or without a band

look at that big stupid
dumb ass bass player
once he played in a band
that had a radio hit
now he is trying to get a seat
on the city council
and knowing this backwash town
he will probably get its
since every band he has started
as a solo artist has sucked
and he has to do something
with the rest of his life

who am i to be coming down hard
on this corn-fed man with the big name?
im the last in seattles history of brilliant musicians
to give the finger to fame
