lyrics

You nearly got away with the things that you did
But you forget I was doing this while you were booking gigs at the
YMCA, I’m an old dab hand
You can stick me in the desert I’ll learn to eat sand
I’ve been down here before, on the floor more times than
Traci Lords, I’ve been treading the boards.
Taking the blows while you were striking a pose.
Finding me feet while you were filling your nose.

Nothing in the world will stop this show.
Nothing in the world will stop this show.
Even death would just see me legacy grow
But first there’s one thing i wanna know

What are we going to do with you?
What would Henry Rollins do?
Before I do something I’m gonna regret, what would Hank do next?
I’m asking you, what the Hell would Mr Henry Rollins do?

Just...cos...some

Jackass said “out of sight is out of mind” you’ll find I’ve got a dozen spiders eyes
in the Back Of My Head I can see right through whatever the fuck you think you’re trying to do.

Okay, so we were friends..that makes it weird..

But not impossible, it just means you ain’t gonna end up in a hospital.
Got to use my head, got to think this through
Now what would someone one smarter than me do?

What are we going to do with you?
What would Henry Rollins do?
Before I do something I’m gonna regret, what would Hank do next?
I’m asking you, what the Hell would Mr Henry Rollins do?

So I tell you what I did, I got online
I got an email address for Henry in no time.
I sat by the Mac and I started to write
Mr Rollins, I said, could I have some advice?
I’ve got this thing I’ve been working on
It’s kind of a problem and kind of a song
It’s in demo form, but can I send it to you?
It’s called “what would Henry Rollins do?”
I’d be honoured to have you appear on the track
And within one hour Hank came back

And this he wrote – quote unquote

“I DON’T WANT TO BE IN THIS THING AT ALL”

Now I know what I’ll do with you
Now I know what Henry Rollins’d do
I won’t do anything I’m gonna regret
What I’ll do next, I’ll tell you kid
Is the same as Mr Henry Rollins did.

I’m gonna dismiss you like a bug on a dustbin lid. Thanks Henry.
