lyrics

I come to your town, even though you don't want me
'cuz I'm for sale, and somebody bought me
They'll shove me down your throat, until you love me
Call me a hero and a rock star, place no one above me.
But I wish you'd shut your mouth and open your ears
I'm Jerry Godzilla, Jerry Godzilla

You'll soon see my smiling face, on the cover of Creem
(that's a magazine)
When the wheels start rolling on our well-oiled publicity machine
They'll print lots of juicy lies about my love life
The bullshit'll be so thick you can cut it with a dull knife
But I wish you'd buy those book and read those lies
I'm Jerry Godzilla, Jerry Godzilla

The radio stations won't play my music
They say if it's not Styx or Led Zeppelin, we just can't use it
But dope, sex and money, can buy any DJ
And before too long, my records will be all that they ever play
So I wish they'd snort that coke and play my songs!
I'm Jerry Godzilla, Jerry Godzilla!
