Rocky Start (Parody of "Rockstar" by Nickelback) - ApologetiX

I’m through with sand in my eyes because of weather and wind

Seemed like a tropic paradise -- I remember movin' in

This life hasn’t turned out quite the way I thought it would be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house -- one that’s never gonna drift

Or collapse whenever the rains fall in

And I think time’s come to give up this sandbox dream

(Yeah, so what you need)

I need to get it started -- I’ll begin it

With a big flat layer of bedrock in it

Gonna fortify my house like Matthew 7 counsels me

(Built better, done right)

I’ve got a new toolbox called the Word of God

And I’ll start on top of the Solid Rock

Cause it’s Extreme Human Makeover time for me

(So how you gonna do it)

I’m gonna change this life before it’s in flames

I’ll even call Ty here to trade my space

Cause we all just gotta get a big rocky start

So we can build our house without a shifting yard

It don’t come easy, but it’s dug down deep

The walls stay standing and the steps won’t creak

And we’ll hang tough in the cruelest storms

When you see high winds on the news reports

Every good homebuilder doesn’t wind up scared

Cause it’s way more sturdy than the beach down there

And, hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

Hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

I wanna build a great, white palace with stuff that lasts

So I can make a Taj Mahal and not a big sandcastle

Not with stubble, wood, or grass just like in First Corinthians 3

(I'll have a casa de Dios, uh huh)

I’m gonna bless my house with the greatest plans

He said in John 14: 2 there’s plenty more mansions

Decorate with silver, gold, and precious stones provided for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I’m gonna change change this life before it’s in flames

I’ll even call Ty here to trade my space

Cause we all just gotta get a big rocky start

So we can build our house without a shifting yard

It don’t come easy, but it’s dug down deep

The walls stay standing and the steps won’t creak

And we’ll hang tough in the cruelest storms

When you see high winds on the news reports

Every good homebuilder doesn’t wind up scared

Cause it’s way more sturdy than the beach down there

And, hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

Hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

And we’ll wipe out all the private rooms

Where we had addictions buried in their painted tombs

I guess you never think this but in a while

Everybody’s gettin' dug deeper once we’ve died

Well, hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

I’m gonna seize that stone that the builders rejected

Gonna pass all codes when it gets inspected

Let washed-up sinners try to mock my song

They’re sinkin' in the mire because they built it wrong

Cause we all just gotta get a big rocky start

So we can build our house without a shifting yard

It don’t come easy, but it’s dug down deep

The walls stay standing and the steps won’t creak

And we’ll hang tough in the cruelest storms

When you see high winds on the news reports

Every good homebuilder doesn’t wind up scared

Cause it’s way more sturdy than the beach down there

And, hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

Hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start

And we’ll wipe out all the private rooms

Where we had addictions buried in their painted tombs

I guess you never think this but in a while

Everybody’s gettin' dug deeper once we’ve died

Well, hey, hey, I’m gonna need a rocky start
