Wasted Youth (Speech) Lyrics & Tabs by Meat Loaf
Wasted Youth (Speech)
guitar chords lyrics
I remember everything, I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
I was barely seventeen, I was barely seventeen
I was barely seventeen and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome
And a voice like a horny fucking angel
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the right power chords
And the precise angle from which to strike
The guitar bled for about a week afterward
And the blood was dark and rich like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterward
And the blood was dark and rich like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterward
But it rung out beautifully and I was able to play notes
That I had never even heard before
So, I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall
I smashed it against the floor
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
I was actually aiming for the junior varsity cheerleader
But she was too fast for me, undoubtedly on steroids, these kids today
So, I took my guitar and I smashed it against the hood of a car
Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom
Mommy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly I turned step by step, creeping in the shadows
Right up to the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar
Crashing down upon the center of the bed
My father woke up, screaming "Stop, wait a minute
Stop it, boy, what do ya think you're doin'?
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument"
And I said, "Goddammit daddy, you know I love you
But you got a hell of a lot to learn about rock 'n' roll"
