G. G. Allin Handwritten Lyrics, 1992
The controversial punk rocker, arrested over fifty times for his onstage degenerate antics, believed he was a rock & roll messiah, bent on reclaiming punk music from commerciality and corporatism. Allin has had a devoted cult following since his death from a heroin overdose in 1993. Included here, a very rare set of lyrics for two songs, each song on opposite sides of the same sheet, with each song signed at conclusion, "GG Allin, Prison, 1992", the two songs titled "Celebrate the Criminal Life" and "Maxing in the Hole." Typical Allin lyrics, in small part: "...I'm not going to be another statistic/Just a notch in the lawman's gun/Another convict on the police hit list/I'm gonna kill when I see them come...I'm a career criminal/I stab, loot, shoot and steal/Armed in the alley where I'll resist/F_ck the law - Kill the police...", also: "All you other bands, out there on the road/Retreading ground, that I have paved for one and all/Why don't you take a gun and blow someone away/Pussy motherfu__ers, I'll be back one day..." Executed in black ballpoint pen on 8.5" x 11" lined paper, tri-folded.
