Rock 'n' Roll Freakshow Lyrics

Line the thirteen shots of bourbon
Up on the bar
So I can rock like the Devil on
This here big guitar
And tell your gals and pals to
Come from near and far
I'm gonna rock, gonna drink til
I can't stand up no more.

And if you wanna have fun baby,
Step inside
To the front row,
Where I can blow your mind
We gotta rock and roll freakshow
Raging on fire tonight...

Well I could buy your woman
For a twenty dollar bill
It'd be the time of her life and
Be her last big thrill
I won't get satisfied til I get my fill.
She keep on saying she won't but man,
I KNOW she will...
And if you wanna keep her
You better hold on tight
'Cause I think she's going home
With Mr. Hooch tonight.
After my rock and roll freakshow
Burns to the ground alright...

We've burned a hole into your ass
And into your mind
And when we leave tonight,
We leave a trail of broken hears behind
Yeah, we're leaving man,
But don't wish us well
We're gonna pack our
Earthly material belongings
And go straight back to Hell
With our rock and roll freakshow
Raging on fire tonight.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
