Lyrics

[The Gingerbread Man: Mr. Skull] 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 [The Aging Musician: Todd Rundgren] 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" 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--C'mere, boy!--We could go- 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 Colt Trooper MkIII will stop just about anything C'mere! ...Boy, Mauser, where's Uzi? Is he outside? Nothing's right anymore not even TV. Davy Crockett said it all when I was a kid: "If you're sure you're right, then go ahead on." Now, nothing's right. Nothing's right Goddamn MTV!
