rocksmith

when i was little i wanted to be a rockstar

but i thought playing guitar would be rock hard

taught myself a couple of chords but never got far

so instead i picked a mic up and dropped bars

and i've done alright

my rhymes are more tight

than the average

i tell you that isn't a pork pie

but please give me a minute

let me be forthright

i wish i'd had the foresight to give my fingers more time

instead i let them get bored

on the fretboard

but now i've found a course

and got it cracked like a fault line

i learnt less in all my life than in the last fortnight

propelled my elevation level as if it was cordite

now i can hack at my axe

and rock it all night

if rock is a thrill ride

then rocksmith's your tour guide

of course i've still got to put the time into it

but the fact is with practice

i know i can do it

now i'm a rocksmith

i learned a lot quick

never mind pressing buttons

i know how to pluck strings

now i'm a rocksmith

i learned a lot quick

i never dreamed

i'd be able to play such things

unlike the deftones

i was tone def

leppards never change their spots

i'm just a radiohead

music left me with an aching head

not a head rush

crimson red blush

less trust then jeb bush

i'm not an early riser

could never rise against

the procrastination

it was always i versus them

i couldn't find a muse

or iron out the kinks

i could kiss goodbye to screaming females

i was jinxed

wanted to slay em ike i'm waving a katana

or magic wands

make a splashh

take them to nirvana

play in my pyjamas

as heavy as a monster truck

never mind the who

what

why

no-one wants to suck

the police in boston aren't even as tough as this

rsi

callouses and blisters

i've suffered it

but i'll never stop playing guitar

until all that remains of my nails are scars

now i'm a rocksmith

i learned a lot quick

never mind pressing buttons

i know how to pluck strings

now i'm a rocksmith

i learned a lot quick

i never dreamed

i'd be able to play such things
