Intro:
2x: E5 * G5 D5

E5 *                   G5                      D5
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
E5 *           G5                                      D5
Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
E5 *                        G5                         D5
And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies
E5 *                      G5                       D5
Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams

E5 *                 D5                   G5         C5           B5
And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
E5 *             D5            G5           C5             B5
He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage
E5 *              D5         G5          C5          B5
He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
E5 *          D5             G5         C5       B5
"Fuck him , I don't need no Hollywood jack anyway"

E5 *                        G5                   D5
So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
E5 *                             G5                 D5
And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below

         E5 *       G5
Yes, the rage Kage bubbled with rage
   D5
He looked at the ground
       B5
And he looked on the stage
    E5 *
The lava was throwing
    G5                      D5      B5
And boiling inside the old Kage

E5 *          D5                G5         C5         B5
As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
E5 *               D5        G5             C5             B5
He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
E5 *                    D5            G5            C5         B5
He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions
E5 *              D5               G5           C5        B5
He'd screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore

E5 *
No one respected him
C5
They just rejected him
G5                      D5
No one would represent Kage
E5 *                        C5
Left on the streets of his dreams
                       G5            B5
he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa


Epic flute solo:
4x: E5 * C5 D5
    B5

     E5 *                  G5                        D5
Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble
     E5 *                     G5                     D5
They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
   E5 *                    G5                  D5
So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain
   E5 *                   G5                        D5
To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain
     E5 *       D5             G5             C5        B5
Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"
       E5 *         D5       G5           C5              B5
You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade
   E5 *             D5           G5            C5            B5
He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"
        E5 *           D5            G5             C5           B5
Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!

Aaaah!

E5 *
RAGE KAGE!
C5
OH RAGE KAGE!
           G5                     D5
There'd be magic inside that old name
        E5 *
And you know,
        C5
yes you know
            G5                  D5
When you're going completely insane

   E5 *
Oh Rage Kage!
   C5
Oh Rage Kage!
       G5                    D5
Oh the lion will roar once again

        E5 *
And you know
        C5
Yes you know
            G5                  B5
When you're going completely insane

E5 *         D5            G5            C5          B5
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
E5 *         D5            G5            C5          B5
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
E5 *         D5            G5            C5          B5
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
E5 *         D5            G5            C5          B5
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
E5 *         D5            G5            C5          B5
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
E5 *         D5            G5            C5          B5
Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
