Lyrics:

Leitch
He got weights on his shoulders
He got chains 'round his neck
'Fore he get very much older
He be a nervous wreck
Local boy chops wood, headlines read
Local boy makes good, watch him bleed
Local boy chops wood, what went wrong
Local boy makes good, wasn't too strong
He got plenty hangers on
Who keep him happy and high
But deep down inside him
You can hear him cry
Local boy chops wood, headlines read
Local boy makes good, watch him bleed
Local boy chops wood, what went wrong
Local boy chops good, wasn't too strong
One riff of his guitar
He gonna change the whole scene
He's a rebel-romantic
With a death-wish dream

Local boy chops wood, headlines read
Local boy makes good, watch him bleed
Local boy chops wood, what went wrong
Local boy makes good, wasn't too strong
He keep ice in his young veins
To cool the fires in his head
It's more than double double brandy
To dry the tears he shed
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead, what went wrong ?
Rock star found dead, wasn't too strong
Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Read all about it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rock star found dead
Rock star found dead
