Back 2 the Base Lyrics
Man on the bus
Screaming about Presley
Man on the bus
Screaming about Presley
All tied up, got a knot in his hands
He says, "Presley sucked on doggie dicks"
[Chorus]
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it, you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
Presley's been dead
The body means nothing
Man in the back says Presley sucked dicks
With a picture of Li'l Stevie over his head
I'm in the back with a hole in my throat
[Chorus]
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it, you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
Man on the bus
Screaming about Presley
Rips a newspaper up in his hands
Helicopter shoots down a military spot
Everybody runs from screaming about Presley
[Chorus]
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it, you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
