Reverend fred sold instant religion With a license from the man in the sky Billy the kid was a gunslinger Edgar wallace was a dead ringer Me, i'm just a rock'n'roll singer Keyhole pete was a keen watcher Had a telephoto lens in each eye Jack the ripper was a cool stalker But his birds no longer fly James joyce was a mudslinger Jesus christ was a forgiver Me, i'm just a rock'n'roll singer I'm not fakin' it Foolin' myself that i'm makin' it I'm not fakin' it Tricky dicky was a fast talker But his promises were always a lie Nostradamus was a doomwatcher Predicted when we're gonna die Cleopatra was a love giver Jesse james was a born k**er Me, i'm just a rock'n'roll singer
