The blues was grown in the south delta land of the corn,
The open green where the seeds of rock n roll were sown,
Sex and whisky were reasons devils in men were born,
And that was the beginning of how the west was won.
Keith Richards cursed he was not black like Charley Patton,
Satan tune their guitars for their black souls in return,
Robert Johnson was rock n roll’s first celebrity,
He fucked someone’s wife who gave him a poisoned whisky.
Elvis Presley was white but he was alright,
And Jerry Lee’s balls of fire were insight,
Buddy died because of a toss of a coin,
Little Dick turned his back and the church he joined.
From across the universe The Beatles came to fore,
Then onwards all mortals world would worship them on all fours,
They’re bigger than Jesus and shook the world to its core,
When they left nothing was ever the same like before.
America was attacked by British Invasion,
The Stones rocked all establishments and institutions,
The Mods came too with Vespas and Italian fashions,
They were bigger than Kennedy assassination.
