Description
Ever like a band that manages to be really cheesy? You still like them, but they're cheesy at the same time. This song is a goof on a certain band that's like that. It's part of a concept disc that we're putting together. This track is a mashup of lines from Social Distortion songs, in between song live banter, etc.
We tried to go after as many neo-rockabilly cliches as possible. The main vehicle for it is the King himself. Convinced that the ghost of Elvis Presley speaks to their rhythm guitar player, the other members allow him to remain in the band. Along the way, they trip over every rock and roll cliche the twisted lyricists can throw at them via the King, as Nike Mess tries to complete his master work Cheating at Cribbage.
There are a ton of inside jokes here for anyone who has heard Live at the Roxy.
Drums, Bass, Vocals, Elvis: Nikemess
guitars: yours truly.

Lyrics
In a shopping mall,
I beat the **** out of them
and then I became a junkie
and now I'm a wanted man.
Suits of cards on my knuckles
you know I can't get a straight
it looks real cool when I'm driving
you can read "love" and "hate.
(chorus)
cause I'm an outlaw
with the junkie loner blues
I wear cry-liner
cause I was born to lose
Once I had me a kitten
with a tattoo of betty page
one day I up and shot her
I got a pimp's heart full of rage
yeah it's cold and it's clammy
like prison musta been
for all those guys who went there
I wasn't one of them.
(chorus)
I drove real far
I drove real fast
no matter where I went
I couldn't escape the past
I was scratching at the 8 ball
since before I was born
Like Motley Crue says
every rose has its thorn
(chorus)
Sleazy guitar solo
I wear double stacked creepers
cause I'm four foot ****in eight
don't worry about me darlin'
cause I'm in another state.
an outlaw's live is lonely
that's all I can say
especially by the side of the road
in a broken down
chevrolet
