Hey Roddy

Well I got hit across the face with a guitar at 17
It was kinda my fault for being so drunk on stage
And I think Truke was wasted too and I know he didn't mean to
It's just kinda how we did it in those days
We thought we were At The Drive-In but more like movies on the couch
Or Dillinger Escape Plan if the plan was never to get out
A few years of living hard drowning in booze dodging guitars
I kinda got too old too fast to do it
And the kids they seemed to noticed "Hey what happened to old Protest"
In an exasperated breathe I said "aw fuck it man, I don't know"
The first time in Japan they bought the shit that we were slinging
Second time around they were unsatisfied and singing
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
Honestly I think I could
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
I don't know let's fuckin' see pal
I got drunk as holy hell in Budapest drinking palinka
The next day I could barely even stand
So I dragged a chair on stage said "I'm sorry for the rage you feel maybe next time you should pay to see a better band"
I ain't gonna lie this was not the first
Vienna's Arena got me at my worst
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
You're lucky if I'm even standing
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
I could probably ease back on the drinks
Lately I've been thinking about the busses and hotel rooms and the planes
Lately I've been thinking about that scar on my head and how small it seems
Mostly I've been thinking about struggling through the years of vocal strain
Lately I've been thinking I might never take a step on stage again
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
There's one more step that I could take
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
Let off the gas and pump the brakes
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
Reddit user Specular Reflections
"Hey Roddy, could you put any less effort into your stage presence"
This one's for you
ya dick
