It's my life, get off my ass, get outta my face
Man, I don't see no problem
Kickin' back, ain't kickin' you, no, no
Anyway, if I make 'em, then I solve 'em
Oh, that's right, yeah, whew
Makin' plans 's a waste, ain't no future here
Got no face, got no religion
Oh tell me why should I care or even, why should I try?
I just slide, slide on by, never bad enough to crucify me
Cry! Put it out until Judgment Day
I'll bear the cross on Judgment Day
I do most anything, keep 'em doing anything, 'cause
Sometimes I just want to do nothin'
Nothin' lost, tell me, how can I lose
When I'm startin' off with nothin'
Oh tell me why should I care or even, why try?
I just slide, slide on by, never bad enough to crucify me
Oh! Put it out until Judgment Day
I'll bear that same old cross on Judgment Day
Oh! Hey!

Hey man, anything's alright. Yeah!
Wow! Put it out until Judgment Day
I'll bear the cross on Judgment Day
Put it out, put it out until Judgment Day
I'll bear the cross on Judgment Day
Oh! Whoa, yeah, on Judgment Day
Oh! Whoa, yeah, on Judgment Day
Wow!

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
