This  is the ballad of Hollywood  Jack and the Rage  Cage
Nothing  could stop  them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
And  Hollywood Jack hit the big  time and when to make movies
Rage  Kage was left far behind  in the dust of his dreams
And  he grumbled and growled  and watched Hollywood Jack  on Jay Leno
He  bellowed and said  he'd be nothing  without  help from Kage
He  burned up the photos  of Jables  and Kage  doing mushrooms
"Fuck  him, I don't  need no Hollywood jack  anyway"
So  Hollywood Jack lived up high  on a hill in a bubble
And  Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling  valley below
 Yes, the rage  Kage bubbled  with rage
 He looked  at the ground
 And he looked  on the stage
 The lava  was throwing
 And boiling  inside the old Kage
As  Hollywood Jack  climbed the ladder  of stardom  before  him
He  watched as his indie  credentials  flew right  out the door
He'd  make millions and then  he'd go out  and he'd make  even more  millions
He'd  screen KG's calls  and snort coke  of the ass  of a whore
No  one respected him
They  just rejected him
No  one would represent Kage
Left  on the streets of his dreams
B7
he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa
 4x: *
 
 Then Hollywood  Jack got a message  that Kage was in trouble
 They sent  Kage away cause he had  gone completely insane
 So Hollywood  Jack jumped upon  a jetplane and flew  all that night through the rain
 To be  with his friend to see  what remained of his brain
 Then Hollywood Jack  told the doctors:  "You got  to retrieve  him!"
 You've got  the technology, use  the techniques  of your trade
 He grabbed  their lapels  and he screamed  "BY GOD  YOU MUST SAVE  HIM!"
 Because Rage  Kage and I;  can't you see  that were one  and the same!
 Aaaah!
RAGE  KAGE!
OH  RAGE KAGE!
 There'd be magic  inside that old name
 And you know,
 yes you know
 When you're going  completely insane
 Oh Rage  Kage!
 Oh Rage  Kage!
 Oh the lion  will roar once again
 And you know
 Yes you know
 When you're going  completely insane
Nothing  and no  one could harm  the old Rage  Kage again,
Nothing  and no  one could harm  the old Rage  Kage again,
Nothing  and no  one could harm  the old Rage  Kage again,
Nothing  and no  one could harm  the old Rage  Kage again,
Nothing  and no  one could harm  the old Rage  Kage again,
Hollywood  Jack  and the Rage  Kage were out  once again.
