Intro: Em|C|D|D x2
Em|C|D|D
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
 Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
 And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and went to make movies
 Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams
Em D/F#|G C| B7|B7
 And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
 He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage
 He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
 "Fuck him, I don't need no Hollywood jack anyway"
Em|C|D|D
 So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
 And Rage Kage live deep in the broiling valley below
Em|C|D|B7
 Yes, the rage Kage bubbled with rage
 He looked at the ground
 And he looked on the stage
 The lava was throwing
And boiling inside the old Kage
Em D/F#|G C| B7|B7
 As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
 He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
 He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions
 He'd screened KG's calls and snorked coke of the ass of a whore

Em|C|G|D
 No one respected him
 They just rejected him
 No one would represent Kage
Em|C|G|B7
 Left on the streets of his dreams
 He'd would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa

 Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble
 They send Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
 So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through
 The rain To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain
Em D/F#|G C| B7|B7
 Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"
 You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade
 He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"
 Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same! 

 Aaaah! 

Em|C|G|D
 RAGE KAGE! 
 OH RAGE KAGE! 
 There'd be magic inside that old name
Em|C|D|B7
 And you know that you know
 When you're going completely insane
Em|C|G|D
Oh the Rage Kage! 
 Oh the Rage Kage! 
 All the line we rolled once again
Em|C|D|B7?
 And you know
 Yes you know
 When you're going completely insane
Em D/F#|G C| B7|B7
 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, 
 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, 
 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, 
 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, 
 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, 
 Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
