Mom, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight's seen
I opened a door and it stole my soul
What controls my core now it's rock-n-roll
Was a shock at age 15
Was a sight I'd never seen
Was a pit and bloody lip
Time and time again was hit
It was Hatfield and Mustaine
It was Deftones and Mudvayne
I went down a deadly track
and there is no turning back
I beg you, forgive me ma (there is no turning back)
know my life once and for all
now it's rock-n-roll
It was Vedder and Cobain
It was Staley in his Chains
It was from the first refrain
that I heard in Crazy Train
It's the Beatles and Woodstock
Sex Pistols and Punk-Rock
It was everything I saw
It became my fatal flaw
Forgive me, ma
Mom, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight's seen
I opened a door and it stole my soul
What controls my core now it's rock-n-roll
I beg you, forgive me ma
now it's rock-n-roll
know my life once and for all
now it's rock-n-roll
now it's rock-n-roll
I beg you, forgive me ma
there is no turning back
know my life once and for all
now it's rock-n-roll
and I beg you, forgive me ma
Just now
Mom, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
If I just want to sleep when sunlight's seen
I opened a door and it stole my soul
What controls my core now it's rock-n-roll
I beg you, forgive me ma（there is no turning back）
know my life once and for all
now it's rock-n-roll
