Em*                   G (320003@1)                    DThis (xx0232@1)is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
Em*           G (320003@1)                                    DNothing (xx0232@1)could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
Em*                        G (320003@1)                       DAnd (xx0232@1)Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies
Em*                      G (320003@1)                     DRage (xx0232@1)Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams

Em*                 D (xx0232@1)                 G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)         B7And (x21202@1)he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
Em*             D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)           B7He (x21202@1)bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage
Em*              D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)        B7He (x21202@1)burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
Em*          D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)     B7"Fuck (x21202@1)him, I don't need no Hollywood jack anyway"

Em*                        G (320003@1)                 DSo (xx0232@1)Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
Em*                             G (320003@1)               DAnd (xx0232@1)Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below

Em*       GYes, (320003@1)the rage Kage bubbled with rage
   DHe (xx0232@1)looked at the ground
       B7And (x21202@1)he looked on the stage
    Em*
The lava was throwing
    G (320003@1)                    D (xx0232@1)    B7And (x21202@1)boiling inside the old Kage

Em*          D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)       B7As (x21202@1)Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
Em*               D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)           B7He (x21202@1)watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
Em*                    D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)       B7He'd (x21202@1)make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions
Em*              D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)      B7He'd (x21202@1)screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore

Em*
No one respected him
CThey (x32010@1)just rejected him
G (320003@1)                    DNo (xx0232@1)one would represent Kage
Em*                        CLeft (x32010@1)on the streets of his dreams
                       G (320003@1)          B7he (x21202@1)would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa

     Em*                     G (320003@1)                   DThey (xx0232@1)sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
   Em*                    G (320003@1)                DSo (xx0232@1)Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain
   Em*                   G (320003@1)                      DTo (xx0232@1)be with his friend to see what remained of his brain

       Em*         D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)            B7You've (x21202@1)got the technology, use the techniques of your trade

        Em*           D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)         B7Because (x21202@1)Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!
