[Verse 1]
Legendary child
I'll tell you what I'm talking about
Makin love at 17, yeah we had the luck
But we traded them toys for other joys
And we didn't give a
(Whoa whoa whoa)
I took a chance at the high school dance
Never knowin wrong from right
And that same show 40 years ago
Bein televised tonight'

[Verse 2]
Cause getting from inside my head to the Taj Mahal
I went from never havin none to wanna have it all
I want to keep that dream alive
And eat that honey from the hive
With all the noise and all the glamour
No surprise, you know I am a
Legendary child

[Verse 3]
I think a-what I'm trying to say is
Sticks and stones may break your bones
At least they'll rearrange
I'll drop a dime, and every time
I get myself a nickel's change
(Whoa whoa whoa)
They say we don't know jack
At the plant we proved them wrong
We traded in our soul tonight and sold them for a song
And if Satan had a lady friend, her name was Mary Jane
I never wondered why she tried to drive us quite insane
And how we got that golden fleece
From tokin on that pipe of peace
Yeah as far as I can see
There is a God cause I got me a

[Chorus]
Legendary child
Legendary child

Legendary child
Legendary child

Legendary child
Legendary child

Aerosmith

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
