Scumbag Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
Innocence has no resistance
Against a wicked counselor such as I

[Hook: Dave Grohl with Josh Homme]
(You won't make it out
You won't make it out)

[Verse 2: Josh Homme]
Shall I lead you to my parlor?
Poison offers disguised in just your size

[Hook: Dave Grohl with Josh Homme]
(You won't make it out
You won't make it out)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Josh Homme]
You may think me altruistic
Feel my dark hypnosis closing in

[Hook: Dave Grohl with Josh Homme]
(You won't make it out
You won't make it out)
[Chorus: Josh Homme]
Then you grow cold, cold, as I stare
As if no, none could compare
But you don't know how close, to ensnare
When I control, you will despair

[Hook: Dave Grohl with Josh Homme]
(You won't make it out
You won't make it out)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4: Josh Homme]
Sycophancy, solipsistic
Spider plays the fool to lure the fly

[Hook: Dave Grohl with Josh Homme]
(You won't make it out
You won't make it out)

[Chorus: Josh Homme]
Then you grow cold, cold, as I stare
As if no, none could compare
But you don't know how close, to ensnare
When I control, you will despair

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
