Everytime that I turn around
I just hear the same old thing
Beg to try and bring me back
To the place I couldn't keep

And I'm an asshole, storm the castle
Burn the bridges down to the ground
Take no prisoners, we're just visitors
We don't care about anything

Thats the way these modern dukes will go
It's every man here for himself

Every time that I turn around
I just see the same old crap
Trucks are trying to grease the wheels
So that they can get laid back

But I'm an asshole, storm the castle
Burn the bridges down to the ground
Take no prisoners, we're just visitors
We don't care about anything

That's the way these modern dukes will go
It's every man here for himself

I'm an asshole, storm the castle
Burn the bridges down to the ground
Take no prisoners, we're just visitors
We don't care about anything

I'm an asshole, storm the castle
Burn the bridges down to the ground
Take no prisoners, we're just visitors
We don't care about anything

That's the way these modern dukes will go
It's every man here for himself

    I've seen 'em do the song twice live, I think I was the only one who'd heard it last night in SLC. I had to check the lyrics 'cuz all I knew was "Take no prisoners" and "Storm the castle." But I think it's about a lot of these new bands cough cough crazytown cough cough who have songs that are just "I'm a jerk, but have sex with me anyways 'cuz I'm a rockstar and I don't care." I'm sure Rivers didn't write it about Crazytown 'cuz he plays guitar on one of their new songs, but that's who it made me think of.
