(Little Boys)
Ok? Yall can start singing
Alright - alright - set - I can't hear you - not that damn loud!
You've got something about you
You've got something I need
Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed
I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons (she laughs)
Trained to reign as the one
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
(studio girl)
What? - I can't, I don't wanna do it too loud
I'm the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please thee
And I command you to kneel
Before the
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
(Little boys)
What? God damnit
And I'm not like that crack addict
(somebody that's mocking her)
Bla blah blah raa raa raa!
I am the lord of the wastelands +(studio girl) Raaaaa! Ahhhhhhahhhahhhh
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please thee +(studio girl) Stop, ok man!
And I command thee to kneel
Before the
God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
