Everyone's divided and nobody's sincere
Least of all the one we chose to take the wheel and steer

Step aside the king has come undone
Returning favors to his son


And now our heroes all are dead or dying
With voices in our ear "don't bother trying"
We must go
To Relay Road

I don't wanna play nice
And I don't wanna cheer
For all the phony sycophants
That I don't wanna hear

Mommy told me live it straight and true
Then somehow I ended up with you

And now our heroes all are dead or dying
With voices in our ear "don't bother trying"
We must go
To Relay Road

Where a friend is a fighter
A rock and roll uniter
We got a creed and we got a code

Pay it back to the ones before us
Light a verse
Explode a chorus
Four on the floor is our big payload
On Relay Road

Iggy Sid and Joey
Built this place for us
In this moldy basement
In the beat we'd trust

Every night we'd file into that pew
Drums and bass and loud guitars will do

And now our heroes all are dead or dying
With voices in our ear "don't bother trying"
We must go
To Relay Road

Where a friend is a fighter
A Rock and roll igniter
We got a creed and we got a code

Pay it back to the ones before us
Light a verse
Explode a chorus
Four on the floor is our big payload
On Relay Road

And now our heroes all are dead or dying
And voices in our ear "don't bother trying"
We must go
To Relay Road

Where a friend is a fighter
A Rock and roll igniter
We got a creed and we got a code

Pay it back to the ones before us
Light a verse
Explode a chorus
Four on the floor is the motherlode
On Relay Road
