[Verse 1]
Hold on to your head
Hold on to your hat
You're screaming down the alley
And never coming back
Get out of my bed
Get out of the sack
Don't give me no lip
Don't give me no crap
No way

[Chorus]
Get out the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Got to, got to get out

[Verse 2]
Get out of my face
Get out of my shack
Now you've had a fair share
You had a fair whack
Hold on to your butt
Hold on to your hat
You're heading out of here
And never coming back

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your hat
Don't give me no shit
Don't give me no crap
Hold on to your head
Don't give me no rap
I've had it up to here
With your yackety-yak

You're getting loaded
I'm getting goaded
We'll never make it
Don't fake it
Get out the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Got to, got to get out
Got to, got to get out

[Outro]
Come on baby
Come on baby
Burn it all down
I'm over with you baby
I'm over with you baby
Get up, get out

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
