Kid Rock released several studio albums from 1988 that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record 'Devil Without a Cause', released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba","Cowboy," and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock which was a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from his previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass". In 2001, he released the follow up, Cocky. After a slow start, his country-flavored hit "Picture" with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album's sales to more than 5 million. It was followed by 2003's self-titled release, which failed to chart a major hit. In 2006 he released Live Trucker , a live album. In 2007 Kid Rock released Rock N Roll Jesus, which produced a hit in "All Summer Long." It was his first worldwide smash hit, charting #1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia. Rock N Roll Jesus would go on to sell 5 million albums worldwide including being certified triple platinum in the US.
He has sold 22 million albums to date in the United States, which currently ranks him as the 99th best selling music artist of all time in the U.S.
FOAD
Kid Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walkin' round without a tear in your eye, eyes, eyes
Airing out my dirty laundry
While trying to suck my well bone dry, dry, dry
You ain't nothing but complicated
Everything you preach is a lie
Everything I try you hate it
I heard that you been speaking softly
Trying to toss my good name under the bus, bus, bus
Creeping 'round with everybody
Hey baby whatever happened to trust, trust, trust
You ain't nothing but complicated
Every time you love it's a lie
You got me so damn agitated
So baby why don't you just fuck off and die
Fuck off and die
All your lies and hatred
Fuck off and die
All the good times wasted
Die for the good yeah die for the bad
Die for the memories we'll never have
C'est la vie adios fuck off and die
I'm giving you an ultimatum
'Cause I ain't gonna watch you break him down, down, down
You told me you were trying to save him
But all you did was sit back and watch him drown, drown, drown
The truth is far from how you played it
Everything you said was a lie
All this time I watched you fake it
So baby why don't you just fuck off and
You ain't nothing but complicated
You put me down every time I try
You're so damn jealous I finally made it
So baby why don't you just fuck off and die
So baby now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Yeah fuck off and die
