Aerosmith - Legendary Child Lyrics






Legendary child
I'll tell you what I'm talking about

Making love at 17, yeah we had the luck
But we traded them toys for other joys
And we didn't give a...
(Whoa whoa whoa)

I took a chance at the high school dance
Never knowing wrong from right
And that same show 40 years ago
Being televised tonight

Cause getting from inside my head to the Taj Mahal
I went from never having none to wanna have it all

I wanna keep that dream alive
And eat that honey from the hive
With all the noise and all the glamour
No surprise, you know I am a

Legendary child
I think that what I'm trying to say is

Sticks and stones may break your bones
At least they'll rearrange
I'll drop a dime, and every time
I get myself a nickel's change
(Whoa whoa whoa)

They say we don't know jack
At the plant we proved them wrong
We traded in our soul tonight and sold them for a song

And if Satan had a lady friend, her name was Mary Jane
I never wondered why she tried to drive us quite insane

And how we got that golden fleece
From toking on that pipe of peace
Yea as far as I can see
There is a God 'cause I got me a

Legendary child
Legendary child

Legendary child
Legendary child

Legendary
Legendary child
Legendary

    This guy gets on my nerves ( but that gets him attention ) but he is 100% right about all this stuff, we experience this all the time. Poorly trained staff usually reflects in loss of sales. I would try this guy out, I'm sure we all could learn something useful.

  5. M.... A....

    This album was a huge disappoint

  6. C.... ....

  22. �.... ....

    元気 the smith

  23. B.... ....

    Waaaaanton waaaanton song.

    B.... ....

    @BubbaZen10 key lmao those are completely different chords not keys lmao. A7 is a totally different chord than standard a. You just proved your ignorance

    B.... ....

    @Mark s And, if we're gonna talk complexity, playing the rest of that zep song is going to be more challenging.

    B.... ....

    @BubbaZen10 you are absolutely right however that's not what we were talking about. We were talking about a certain riff. Way to try to change the subject

    B.... ....

    @Mark s You just proved yours dude. First of all,we are talking about THE RIFF. Its not chords. And its the same RIFF as the zep song, in a different fucking key. Again, the RIFF is not CHORDS

    B.... ....

    @Mark s Yes, i am right. And that fucking riff actually WAS exactly what I WAS talking about in my original post. Thanks for the informative response tho. Cheers

  24. B.... ....

    Nice old BC Rich man,

  25. B.... ....

    Hey, at least this time the girl in the video is 35ish instead of 17.

    B.... ....

    Bro she's 18

    B.... ....

    @Mark s boy, that's a hard 18.

    B.... ....

    @BubbaZen10 her name is Alexa Vega look it up

    B.... ....

    Correction she was 23 at the time

    B.... ....

    @Mark s takes a big man to admit when he's wrong 😁

  26. A.... R....

    Joe Fuckin Perry!

  27. A.... H....

    This is the wanton song from physical graffiti

  28. E.... ....

    They sold their souls.

  29. R.... ....

    Baaad sushi

  30. j.... s....

    How is anyone not noticing, it sounds like Eat The Rich a bit and this song could fit on Get a Grip.

  31. a.... ....

    It's awesome rock why does it only has 3M after 6 years ?

    Damn I feel old.

  32. n.... ....

    girls on roller-skates? add to curt!

  33. M.... L....

    Joe Perry's solo is my favorite part of the song, right at 4:06. It was so awesome and loud, it felt like my hair was blowing behind my head. Wow.

  34. N.... A....

    Pasaron cinco años, sigo esperando la continuación de esta historia jajajajaja.

  35. R.... A....

    Quien,? aaaa. aerosmith
    😁😁

  36. A.... A....

    Essa banda me levou pra outra dimensão!!!!!!

  37. k.... ....

    To explain the video for those who dont understand it. Aerosmith the men is represented by the main chick, the coffin is the band's name/rep/legacy its what they created and brought to this world, their baby. the suits represent all the agents/lawyers/government related things they have had to deal with since the start. The other skaters represent different eras/decades they have gone through including the fads. The rocks the main skater picks up and trips the heavy metal skater represents the drugs addictions the band went through main representing crack and showing how that tripped them up big time. Cant skate smoothly when you tripping up on those crack rocks. lol they skater in the wedding outfit represents pop music mainly madonna and britney spears, that was a genre of music that was a big threat to the other mainstream genres but they kept on keepin on and are still here. the bling faced skater at the end represents today's music industry its a mix of all the garbage from the past because today's music doesnt have a drop of originality. its just very fake, pop is now infused in all current music like cancer, doesnt matter if its good or not because music industry is now nothing more than a money milking business. But Aerosmith still beats it all and are still here protecting their creation/legacy. The to be continued at the end isnt a 'there will be continuation video' lol. It represents that they're still alive and well so they live and Aerosmith lives on with them and whatever comes their way they will keep on keepin on.

    I can understand why most of you do not understand the video because for a long time now music videos have nothing to say and have no meaning. its just a bunch of whores begging to get fucked doggiestyle or a bunch of tiny dick men trying to convince you that they have a lot of money and a good life. those of you from my time and older have adapted to this and over time probably lost the ability to look deeper into the meaning of what you see through creative expression. and i feel sorry for everything born from around the year 2001 and on because you never experienced any kind of real creativity/talent/music/art/etc etc... which is why your generation has no originality and is nothing but a leech trying to copy the old and trying to erase the past. its might sound like an insult but its not your fault. this is the way your generation was manipulated into to make you easily controlled. you have been made into the most submissive and cowardly generation ever before but it was done through years of careful planning and manipulation of people from the older generations too. the 90s was the last generation that stood a chance of stopping this from happening but most of us did not believe the hype of all the "paranoid conspiracies" surrounding this and now its too late and they are either too old, dead, dont care cause they think it doesnt effect/affect them, or feeling defeated and hopeless. Its up to you or whatever comes never to get yourselves out of the mental chains you are bound by.

    k.... ....

    And also yeah it was basically an insult, it's almost as if you are being passive aggressive... You may not be calling us something degrading directly, but it seems as if though you are trying to make the people who read your comment feel bad. I can see past your crap. Great comment though!

    k.... ....

    k1n63d I mean, as someone born in 2004. I really hate to say it, as I make fun of people who say it all the time but. Lmao that's kind of offensive. Not everything now is unoriginal, but I love all kinds of music, except for pop. Country, Rock, rap. Not pop. Not one bit of pop.

    k.... ....

    I was born in 2003 and I love all old rock and I hate rap... I’m also into old country like Waylon Jennings, Johnny cash, hank Williams jr etc... I was raised listening to old music and I hate rap and all that stupid stuff. But not all ppl are bad bc they switched their music bc some of the new generation artists are influenced by the old generation artists for example post Malone( probably the only rap/ pop artist I would ever listen too) was raised on old music and he even plays old rock and country music at his shows. But the new music is only rap and pop and new country bc that’s what kids these days are growing up listening to and that’s how the music industry is making money these days because no one wants to listen to old rock anymore. Most kids think it’s shit

    k.... ....

    This was informational and interesting until you ripped apart the younger generation.

    k.... ....

    No it doesn't. It means that think that Sony sucks. LOL. ;) It's a music video. The music is what is important, and this song is incredible. You need to lighten up.

  38. k.... ....

    the self titled best in america, that title goes to the eagles.

    P.... M....

    lars ulrich Aerosmith is way better than the eagles. I seen the eagles live and almost fell asleep. Eagles just stand still on stage. Aerosmith rocks the stage. Aerosmith has way more energy way more albums way more songs. Not to mention Aerosmith has all original members eagles do not. Aerosmith is 100 times better than the eagles

  46. S.... F....

    my fav aerosmith song

    Gina DeLong not right at all similar riff but not the same at all ask any guitar player

  61. M.... B....

    Nine Lives was their last good album. Since then it´s a bullshit with that horrible mainstream sound. Please back to the roots.

    M.... B....

    Marijo Artaechevarria Zuazo did u not listen to streer jesus or out goes the lights

    M.... B....

    Marijo Artaechevarria Zuazo shut up

    M.... B....

    @La Tortuga Picante or oh yeah, or lover alot, or another last goodbye, or freedom fighter, or luv xxx

    M.... B....

    Mikel Beaskoetxea Artaetxebarria honkin on Bobo was all about there rootes it was a great album musically and not commercial at all

    M.... B....

    Mikel Beaskoetxea Artaetxebarria You know what...things change buddy. And you have no fucking idea what mainstream is. And also, who ever said having a "mainstream" sound was a bad thing? What do you want? Toys in the Attic and Nine Lives rehashes to come out every 2 or 3 years. In the music world, you either evolve, or you become stupid ass sellouts and everyone eventually forgets about you. These guys aren't where they are now because they "stuck to their roots." Roots get boring after a while.

    shame they stopped playing this song live because apparently some of the fans dont like it

    U.... ....

    +UnkleJohn84 /i don't hate it, but I think it's main riff sounds very similar to their old riffs. specifically "walk this way" lol

    U.... ....

    +Da Lime What's wrong with that? Their old riffs are some of their best.

    U.... ....

    @Casey Hendrix nothing at all. just some of them came to mind when listening lol

  76. G.... ....

    Grande Aerosmith ctm

    M.... R....

    jajajjaja Aeros lo mas lo escuche por primera vez a mis 14, Dude... y tengo 36 y a full!! ahora es todo quien es mas malo, quien muestra mas el cu..o todo, quien se mete mas en quilombos y la música no importa un bledo, Tyler un per´-son-na-je!!! Genio!

  82. L.... H....

    Some people insult these legends, saying they produce trash music. And when they themselves reach 60 years old, become fat-asses with no accomplishment in their lives. Don't trash these legends when you can't even sing for nuts.

    L.... H....

    Deez nutz huehue

    L.... H....

    so true.....most people at this age can't get it up, have sagin' boobs and look like shit.
    this song is really really good

    L.... H....

    couldn't agree more...I think their songwriting writing has evolved rather than diminished
    still one of the worlds biggest rock acts as far as live tours go, all while in their 60's
    wow

  83. M.... ....

    We never did find out what was in the box

    M.... ....

    Maybe it's Pandora's Box

    M.... ....

    @Michelle Jackson those are vibrators, dildos, anal plug

    M.... ....

    Maybe it was a Pandora's box...

    M.... ....

    Gwyneth Paltrow's head, I presume.

  84. L.... M....

    what in the box i still don't know damn you aerosmith...!!!

  85. T.... C....

    Bugs me a bit (especially after reading "Walk This Way", as well as books by Joey, Steven, & Joe), the "prequel" part of the video makes no visible mention of the Wherehouse.

  86. i.... ....

    bad choice of girls...

  87. B.... F....

    How could anyone say this sucks? The video is great, the music is great, and these guys are in their mid 60's. Granted, it's not the deepest music, but it's not trash or shit. It's good.

    B.... F....

    +Baby Fark McGee-Zax Good quality song writing and performing as usual from Aerosmith. People who think they were their best in the seventies are nuts. They still rock.

    B.... F....

    @Todd Lavigne They weren't even as good in the 70's tbh. Their music always kicked ass, but have you seen some of their live footage from 75 to 79??? Yikes! They were all so strung out on cocaine, heroin and martinis that it quite visibly affected their shows, and not in a good. Then of course Joe and Brad left for 5 years, and Rick and Jimmy replaced them (and I'm not even gonna count that horseshit as an Aerosmith lineup)

    The point is, once Joe and Brad returned to the band and they sobered up, they were better than ever. Both live and in the studio

  88. T.... L....

    From a songwriting point of view, Aerosmith are still writing really good songs. Actually their songs have always be very
    commercially structured ie; Back in the Saddle is about as commercial as you can get. It's just so loud and raunchy you don't really notice.  Toys in the Attic and Walk this Way. ect ect..all very commercial so called following a hit formula. So people
    who say they suck nowadays, don't really know they have always been very commercial oriented with their music. They didn't get it into the business to be starving artists,that's for certain.

  89. s.... ....

    All you shit talkers how bout you go see them live if you can shit talk after that you have to be a rapper jesus christ you're retarded

  90. I.... S....

    Is that the girl form "Spy Kid"? 

    I.... S....

    Yeah it is

    I.... S....

    Yes, is Alexa Vega ❤👌

  93. M.... M....

    Reply to the comment of "Luddited", the guy who typed the comment below.
    If someone don't know what they mean in the Hip Hop culture when they say the word "hater". They talk about a guy like "Luddited". This is a hater. Finally I admit that I dont like this song here (I had to hear it for the first time, I'm a fan...) but I like A LOT of Aerosmith songs. Im french so I had to use Google translation to type this last sentence, hope it will be clear.~~> Luddited, you are a hater in the eyes of people who are lucid mind.

    And if you don't know a song named "Crazy" by Aerosmith, I think you should go listen that, it is my favorite one by the group. In fact I go listen that right now!

  94. M.... H....

    I LOVE THEM!

  95. s.... w....

    OMG I LOVE STEVEN TYLER!!!!!!!!!!
