🤘 Verse :
 
E
I lived most of my life in New York City
Born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
         B               A D
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
        A B                G      A           E G A A G
And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"

🤘 Verse :
 
E
Well, the son of a b**ch must be crazy
Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God
And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
          B               A D
He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell "
