Viva la Rock Lyrics by Matt Sorum

Hollywood Zen

2003

[Instrumental Intro]
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\nA-kissed by a lizard, talkin' mad junk
\nA-little by little, a-dropped into a funk
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nSpreadin' all her beauty around
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nA bad case of poison, reptile's rock
\nIn a Mexican standoff, viva la rock
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nSpreadin' all her beauty around
\nShe shot up when I went down
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWoke up when I heard the knock
\n(I woke up when I heard the knock)
\nSaid her name was Viva la Rock
\n(She said her name was Viva la Rock)
\nDon't know where she came from, don't know if I care
\nShe said her name was Viva la Rock (Como se ama, [?])
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nPeyote princess, a-speaks in tongues
\nIn Mayan temples, we laid down our guns
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nThe color of her skin was olive brown
\nShe was my queen, I was her crown
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWoke up when I heard the knock
\n(I woke up when I heard the knock)
\nShe her name was Viva la Rock
\n(She said her name was Viva la Rock)
\nDon't know where she came from, don't know if I care (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
\nShe said her name was Viva la Rock (Oh, viva, baby)
\n
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nA-she was spreadin' all her beauty around
\nNow it's time to blow this dusty town
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nWoke up when I heard the knock
\n(I hear you knockin', won't you come on in?)
\nShe her name was Viva la Rock
\n(She said her guys call her Viva la Rock)
\nDon't know where she came from, don't know if I care (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
\nShe said her name was Viva la Rock
\n
\n[Outro]
\nOh, Viva la Rock
\nOh, Viva la Rock
\nOh, Viva la Rock
\nOh, Viva la Rock\n\n
