The Kingsmen came together in a garage
They could hardly even play
But they practiced night and day
And pretty soon they got to where they
Could really play that song "Louie Louie"
So they saved up the money from their shows
And they went into one of those studios
And they gave their version of that song "Louie Louie" a try
Now, I don't know the words to that song "Louie Louie"
And I'm pretty sure that the singer for
The Kingsmen doesn't know 'em either
If he did know 'em he didn't get 'em right on the record
'Cause on the record they sound completely jumbled in his jaw
He says "Me think of me girl oh so constantly
I may I make her ah ooh ah"
Well, that last part scared everybody from the PTA to the FBI
You see, the kids had been going kinda crazy lately
It seemed like nobody could figure out why
So they decided to form a coalition and launch an investigation
You know, for the children
They figured they at least had to try
To figure out the words to that song "Louie Louie"
It's a feel good hit of this endless summer
It gets the kids out of control
Singing along to that star-spangled bummer
Hail, hail rock and roll
You know Marilyn Manson's real name, it's not Marilyn Manson
He's a skinny public high school kid from Ohio
He's not some monster from out of this world
And like a lot of skinny public high school kids
He was sick of getting beaten up by the pulling guard all week
And only to go out on the weekend and
Watch the quarterback get all the girls
So, he formed a band, man
And now Marilyn Manson, he still gets a lot of chicks
They're weird chicks, but they are chicks
A few years later, a couple latchkey kids go tragically mad
Everybody's gathered around the television store at the mall
Trying to figure out what went wrong
And this guy says
"You think the life of a kid going to
School around here could have got so bad?"
And this other guy says
"No, no, probably just the words to one of them Marilyn Manson songs
You know that guy"
It's a feel good hit of this endless summer
Getting these kids out of control
Singing along to that star-spangled bummer
Hail, hail rock and rollYou know every ten years
Or so our country and some other little country
We start firing all of our newest weapons at each other
For some reason or another, right or wrong, like it or not
It happens and when it happens, people get shot
And when people get shot, they show that on TV a lot
Every night at six o'clock
And you don't have to be 18 to see that
You don't even have to be in first grade
First grade, where they teach the kid to pride
Where they say he gon' need to thrive
In a world where they say that only the strong will survive
So he's taught the art of more
To compare to and to keep score
Monday through Friday while he stares at the floor
And then Sunday they make him go to school once more
Only this time they make him wear a suit and a tie
And listen to some guy who claims to know
Where people go when they die
Tell him that only the meek are gonna inherit the earth
Well, fuck me runnin', man, by that time
How could anybody know what anything was worth?
Now brothers and sisters, I'm only one guy
And I don't even know the words to that song "Louie Louie"
But I can tell you right now without battin' an eye
Next time somebody's latchkey kid goes wrong
It ain't gonna be because of some song
And I ain't tryin' to preach to ya either
I'm just tryin' to string a few words together to
Hey kids, let's get it on
Let's get it on
Let's get it on
Hail, hail rock 'n' roll
Music, soul body and soul
Hail, hail rock 'n' roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Last great American wave
