My karma just ran over your dogma
I can feel your pain
If everything is coming your way
You're facing the wrong lane

Bullethead
Bomb the moon until you're crazy dead
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
Got a different kind of true
Bullethead
Yes you are in danger
I drive just like you!

How many roads must a man walk down
Before he admits he's lost
And do you really, really drive this way
Just to piss me off?

Boldly going nowhere
Trouble busting through
Yeah, I'm rolling slowly
But I'm ahead of you

Bullethead
Bomb the moon until you're crazy dead
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
Got a different kind of true
Bullethead
Yes you are in danger
I drive just like you!

Well I'm a lovin' the horn baby
Well I'm a bullethead
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come on baby
Well I'm a bullethead

Hurt me!

[solo]

Traffic is giving you trouble?
I can feel your pain
No light at the end of the tunnel
Due to budget constraints

Some days you're the dog
Some days you're the hydrant
If everything is going your way
You're facing the wrong lane

Bullethead
Bomb the moon until you're crazy dead
B-b-b-b-b-b-bullethead
Got a different kind of true
Bullethead
Yes you are in danger
I drive just like you!

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
