In 1998, you bought a B.C. Rich

You were a master shredder from the jump

Blew them all away with the Ritalin kidsWhile I was shedding through my sophomore slump

You had so many chances to become a star

But you never really cared about them

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 17

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 them

Local God

You′ll live forever as a local God

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

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? (Woah, oh, oh, oh)

Or are you teaching little kids how to rock 'n′ roll (Woah, oh, oh, oh)

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

′Cause you really only cared about that

Wonder if you had a chance to sell your soul

Did you ever get your money back?

Did you ever kiss the devil?
