lyrics

Rock stars die in a plane crash or overdose
Or suicide, yeah that’s the one they love the most
Choke on vomit or a bullet in the brain,
It happens to ordinary people every day.

He says “pure existence is painful”
I’m troubled by the contingency of the choices I make
All my thoughts just organize the chaos,
And Being is revealed to me in time and space.

I want the freedom of a madman, the license of a fool
Taking all my time to build the perfect tool
I want the freedom of a rich man, the license of a knave
Taking all my time to build the perfect grave

He says, “I want to keep all my hundred roadies
Even though, I don’t tour anymore
I may be the king of pop in title only
But I still want my crown as I’m lying on the bedroom floor

I want the freedom of a madman, the license of a fool
Taking all my time to build the perfect tool
I want the freedom of a poor, the license of a knave
Taking all my time to build the perfect grave

Rock stars die in a plane crash or overdose
Or suicide, yeah that’s the one they love the most
Choke on vomit or a bullet in the brain,
It happens to ordinary people every day.
It happens to ordinary people every day….
