  • Oh yeah
    Is everybody livin' it up so far?
    Sounds alright, let get through some stuff
    Now you see this here guitar right here, now do you see it?
    This guitar was born in the Motor City, Detroit, murder capital
    Such a healthy place for all the boys and girls
    It's the murder capital of the world, uh-huh
    Yes, indeed, this guitar right here, I've been told
    Yes, indeed, In fact, I did it one time on safari
    This guitar right here is guaranteed
    To blow the balls off a charging rhino at sixty paces, it is
    That's my dinner, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
    You see this guitar definitely refuses to play sweet shit
    You know? It just refuses

    That's why you wanna stick with it, fella
    There'll be a few of them rock 'n' roll rituals comin' at you one time
    We gotta tune 'em up, tune 'em down, bring 'em home, bring 'em 'round
    Make sure they're healthy, make sure they're doing the right thing
    Our way, you know what I mean
    Them rock 'n' roll rituals
    If anybody knows, you know
    How about you all out there, are you all tuned up so far?
    San Anton', one time, are you sure you're all tuned up?
    Can you give me something?

    Well, that's good, that's good, that's healthy, that's wise
    That's alright, that's sweet, I dig it one time
    I do believe you got it and I got it with you
    Shit we gonna melt this fuckin' place tonight, I tell ya
    Well, if you bear with me a couples decades, a couple light years, yeah
    I wanna see if I can't let this one met into your mouth
    This is a very special song and I wanna do it for all my friends here tonight
