Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Douglas] In the eighties When you heard a popular song You always knew that it wouldn't be long Before you hear a bitchin' guitar solo Then the nineties came And music got gloomy and earnest But even shoe gazing flannel wearing purists Could still rock a one note solo But nowadays, in the musical break Producers always make the same stupid mistake Of having, Pitbull, and Eminem and Nicki Minaj Buttin' in Rapping about how great they rap, or something offensive Bragging about some bullshit that was never intended To be on the song in the first place baby [Chorus: Mark Douglas] The guest rapper killed the guitar solo They replaced the virtuoso With bleeped out fucks and yolos (yolos) The guest rapper with their shameless self promo It's time to crank it to eleven On a stairway to heaven And deliver my six string deathblow One, two, three, four [Verse 2: Michael Gregory] Ding dong, I heard a song So I answered the call The rapper's union sent me here 'Cos it's the musical law The record companies are burnin' But I'm still cash money earnin' Just spitting verses While you scratch your head and try to discern it Why don't you play that solo So low that nobody can hear it You're out of tune with the times And you can't rhyme, so you fear it And the electric guitar, is an extinct dinosaur I'm like a wet t-shirt contest Because I fill empty bars (Oh!) Sellin' like Don Draper Hung like a skyscraper Call my wallet kinkos 'Cos it's flooded with paper [Verse 3: Mark Douglas] You didn't service the song You merely spoke of your dong Aww damn it You got me rappin' How the eff did that happen? Never mind, you'r out of time I'll take this real estate back Erase your ass from this track Ladies and gentlemen Slash Couldn't make it So my main man Dave's gonna take it [Interlude: Mark Douglas & Dave Hill] All right I want you to put those lighters up in the air Not your phones, actual flames Don't be afraid to burn your thumb a little bit for Rock 'n' Roll And if you make that flame big enough We can ignite the fire That brings the guitar solo back from the dead And kills the guest rapper I'm not putting down rap per se You know there was a time Where rap and rock peacefully co-existed But that led to the horror of Limp Bizkit [Post-Interlude: Mark Douglas & Dave Hill] Dude you just talked over my whole solo Oh, sorry dude [Chorus 2: Mark Douglas] I guess I just killed the guitar solo I couldn't keep my mouth shut I pulled a Yoko Ono (Oh no!) I won't let the guitar die like the dodo Let's all go together To the guitar center Where the solo lives forever Oh yeah, yeah yeah [Outro] I'm home
