Still got my moustache, but I shaved my beard.
Didn't want to do it, but the thing got weird.
Now the birds are homeless, or so it would appear;
And the ladies are looking like it's hot in here.
   Throw down the monkey, turn loose the jones;
   Ramp up the rhythm, put down your phones.
We tightened up the act, we cranked up the show;
Supercharged the music, now all systems go.
Laid down the bass, all funky and low;
Turned up my amp as far as it would go.
    Gonna raise some hell, gonna shake my stuff;
    You know it's just as well, I can't get enough.
Got a world full of hate, can't watch the news;
Learned a lot in school, darn little I could use.
I work hard all day, pay my fair share of dues.
Is it any wonder I sing like I've got nothing to lose?
    Still count my blessings, don't get me wrong;
    Got one sweet woman, and I've got my song.
    I want to change the world, want to spread some love;
    Might need to push, might need to shove.
Gonna raise my fist, gonna scream and shout;
A night not to be missed is what it's all about.
