Just the other day I got a call from a friend
|
"I heard what you been playin' and I think it's a sin
|
Why can't you make a living like the rest of the boys
|
Instead of fillin' your head with all that synthesized noise?"
|
Jackals wait nearby, watching rock and roll die
|
And no one dared to help it
|
Vultures fill the sky
|
I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
|
But we all got sold
|
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
|
The critics got together and they started a game
|
You get your records for nothing
|
and you call each other names
|
Things got out of hand and somebody got sore
|
Now we're all tuning up for the Rock and Roll War
|
Time to take up sides, helping rock and roll die
|
Pick up your check at the window
|
No one left to cry
|
I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
|
But we all got sold
|
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
|
Nobody paid, nobody played, nobody stayed
|
Just my lonely guitar
|
Nobody paid, nobody stayed, nobody played
|
Just my lonely guitar
|
