He Rocks his IROC-Z
He rocks it well
He rocks his Oakleys and his Oakley loaf from hell
He’s spinning donuts out in front of Taco Bell
The girls are wanting him so bad and he can tell

I shred for hella days
You know I can
For finger tapping yeah Van Halen is the man
He’s making fun because I play in marching band
G B A (Riff 1)
He’s getting action while I get my farmer tan

D A B F# (Riff 1)
Hey, there’s ego in my way
D A B F# (Riff 1)
Lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
Ready, steady, these days are high and heady
There’s so much more left to say

But there’s ego in my way

D A B F# (Riff 1)

He plays the ladies man
He plays it cool
D A B F# (Lead does Riff 2)
I play my guitar and I play it by the rules
You think you rock so hard I challenge you to duel
After school after school after school
(Riff 1)
Let me hear you say

D A B F# (Riff 1)
Hey, there’s ego in my way
D A B F# (Riff 1)
Lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
Ready, steady, these days are high and heady
There’s so much more left to say
D (Riff3) A B
But there’s ego in my way (there’s ego in my way)
There’s ego in my way (there’s ego in my way)
There’s ego in my way (there’s ego in my way)
Oh, there’s ego in my way.
Oh yea yea yea, let’s rock!
