he is the angel with the scabbed wings
hard-drug face, wanna to powder his nose
he will deflower the freshest crop
dry up all the wombs with his rock and roll sores,
rock and roll sores,
rock and roll sores

dead is what he is, he does what he please
the things that he has you'll never gonna see
what you're never gonna be now
sketch a little keyhole for looking-glass people
you don't want to see him, only want to be him
mommy's got a scarecrow, gotta let the corn grow
man can't always reap what he sow

"he is the maker"
(he is the taker)
"he is the saviour"
(he is the raper)

rock and roll sores, rock and roll sores
rock and roll sores, rock and roll sores
rock and roll sores, rock and roll sores

rock and roll sores
(taken is everybody is dead)
rock and roll sores
