[Intro] [Bagpipe solo, fast driving punk guitar riff and drums] [Verse 1] I was standing right on the edge of life, Everything lost its goddamn sense. I didn’t care about tomorrow, brother, Didn't care about the clothes on my back. The local pub was my only home, Cheap, lousy whiskey was my lady, my queen, Months and years were slipping away, And my days were empty, cold, and mean. [Pre-Chorus] [Build up] Then came a day when old George took my arm, Led me up to the attic, dark and old. He pointed to a dusty guitar in the corner: "Take it, kid, do something before you grow cold!" The moment my fingers touched those strings, I felt a wild, untamed spark in my head. I knew right then what I was gonna do: I’m gonna play that Les Paul until I am dead! [Chorus] [Crowd Gang Vocals] It was a black Les Paul! It was a black Les Paul! A black Les Paul in my hands today! It was a black Les Paul! It was a black Les Paul! A black Les Paul showed me the way! [Guitar and Bagpipe Interlude] [Verse 2] That black Les Paul changed my whole fate, Finally, I found a reason to breathe. Practicing chords through day and through night, Spitting out new riffs, making them bleed. I forgot the taste of that burning whiskey, I don’t miss it now, I don’t need it at all! I played on the streets, I played in the bars, Finding my joy, standing proud and tall. [Pre-Chorus] People were moving and swaying along, When three guys like me stepped into the light. Just like me – crazy, reckless, and free, Bound by the noise and the urge to fight! We gathered our strength, we locked in the beat, Ready to strike like lightning from above. That’s how we built this brotherhood, boys, The one and only: Boston Outsider Band! [Chorus] [Crowd Gang Vocals] It was a black Les Paul! It was a black Les Paul! A black Les Paul in my hands today! It was a black Les Paul! It was a black Les Paul! A black Les Paul showed me the way! [Outro] [Music slows down, heavy drum beat and guitar feedback] So if you’re down and hitting the floor, Remember, my friend, it is not the end! Don't you give up, just fight through the pain, You only need to find... [Stop] [Shouted] Your own black Les Paul! [Final Chorus] [Explosion of sound, maximum volume, fast tempo] It was a black Les Paul! It was a black Les Paul! A black Les Paul in my hands today! It was a black Les Paul! It was a black Les Paul! A black Les Paul showed me the way! [Ending] [All instruments hit, big crash] [All shout] BOSTON OUTSIDER BAND! [Fade out]
