Put all the vilains in a F#prison

C# F

When I was very young

I thought that life was long

Thought I would make it as a sargeant

or as an athlete of great talent

And I decided then

When I’ll become a man

I will save earth’s population

Put all the vilains in a prison

And there will be my name

At the rock and roll Hall Of Fame

I will only have world leaders

Rocking out as my band members

We'll open up for Rush

I'll become such a lush

But i will always have the greatest hangovers

Chorus:

C# Am#

I would have you

When i was just a boy

My life was full of joy

And every new day was a great day

And every love song had to be wrong

I thought nothing would affect me

Our love would be my jet ski

And I'd wear you as an helmet

You'd always be there to protect me

But we wouldn't end up in a castle

I would not become an asshole

I wouldn't stare at your mom's cleavage

Pawn my ring or lose my courage
