Internet radio playing an [[Wikipedia:The_xx|xx]] song | |||
Yogurt topped off with cream | |||
Purell keeping me clean | |||
Bandmates throwing down in the room next door | |||
The Rock and roll cockroach | |||
Is searching for something he can eat | |||
The people freak out when he walks out there | |||
So scared | |||
Nostradamus predicted a bomb | |||
And life as we know it on earth Would abruptly stop | |||
From the pile of debris | |||
The creature is struggling free | |||
That's him looking for The Sunday Times | |||
The Rock and roll cockroach | |||
Is searching for something he can eat | |||
The people freak out when he walks out there | |||
So scared | |||
So take your millions | |||
Your perseverance | |||
And shut 'em up | |||
'Cause we don't give a damn | |||
Scream all you want, dear | |||
Try to get an audience | |||
We've got our balls on | |||
We don't give a damn | |||
I didn't say "please" | |||
They could not pry me | |||
I wanna be a star | |||
But not in someone's orbit | |||
I'm the Rock and roll cockroach | |||
Is searching for something he can eat | |||
The people freak out when he walks out there | |||
So scared | |||
