Local God

In 1998, you bought a B.C. Rich

You were a master shredder from the jump

Blew them all away with the Ritalin kids

While I was shedding through my sophomore slump

You had so many chances to become a star

But you never really cared about that

Local god, you'll live forever as a local god

It's even better than the thing you're not

Local god

Local god, you'll live forever as a local god

You'll be remembered for the thing you're not

Local god

We signed a record deal at seventeen

Hated by every local band

They say we never paid our dues

But what does that mean when money never changes hands?

It's 2021 and I'm almost famous

You never really cared about that

Local god, you'll live forever as a local god

It's even better than the thing you're not

Local god

Local god, you'll live forever as a local god

You'll be remembered for the thing you're not

Local god

Are you melting face at the Bellagio?

Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Or are you teaching little kids how to rock 'n' roll?

Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Did you get all weighed down by your heart of gold? (Oh)

'Cause you really only cared about that

Wonder if you had a chance to sell your soul (Whoa)

Did you ever get your money back?

Did you ever kiss the devil?

Local god, you'll live forever as a local god

It's even better than the thing you're not

Local god

Local god, you'll live forever as a local god

You'll be remembered for the thing you're not

Local god

Local god (Local god)

It's even better than the thing you're not
