Hi you lady... alright babe... gonna love ya...
|
|
When I was just a little boy, 'bout the age of five
|
I went to sleep,
|
I heard my mama and papa talking -
|
She said
|
We got to stop that boy, he's gettin too far out,
|
He's goin' wild, we gotta stop that child.
|
And I lay there listening, feeling bad -
|
You know, people, I was feeling bad.
|
Mama didn't like the way I did my thing.
|
The old lady, she didn't get with that thing.
|
But my daddy was a sailor, get his head around,
|
And he said
|
Boy you got to do it son, get yourself intact,
|
You gotta love love love love love my baby tonight.
|
Let me tell you baby 'bout the death of rock,
|
I used to be a boy in my home block,
|
Used to feel alone then I heard some news,
|
Bunch o'cats got the rockin' news.
|
You know I love my rock'n'roll people,
|
You know we got some fun,
|
We gonna rock tonight, yeah c'mon...
|
Rock and roll is dead.
|
Rock and roll is dead,
|
Must be something else instead.
|
You got to lay right down and
|
Die, die, die, die yeah...
|
It's all over baby
|
That's it
|
We gotta go
|
We had some good times
|
But it's gone
|
It's all over.
|
|
I got a few things on my chest, I got to get 'em off...
|
Now listen listen listen listen listen...
|
Now I don't want to hear no talk about no revolution,
|
And I swear to God I don't want to hear
|
No talk about no constitution.
|
And in my frame of mind I am in no mood for
|
No talk about no... cremation.
|
The only thing I'm interested in...
|
I wanna have a good time.
|
I don't wanna hear no talk about no riots,
|
No demonstrations, no cacitritions, no impablermations.
|
There's only one thing I want to see...
|
That's some dancin' !
|
We're gonna have some fun !
|
We're gonna have a good time!
|
Let's roll !
|

|
I'm talkin' about the death of rock and roll,
|
And who killed it.
|
I'm talkin' about the blues.
|
I'm talkin' about the news.
|
Have you heard, have you heard,
|
Have you heard the word ?
|
Rock is dead.
|
Rock is dead.
|
Now I didn't want to be the one to lay it on ya sweetheart,
|
But I used to be a little fellow traveller.
|
I used to think we had the whole thing sewed up, mama.
|
Then I realised,
|
Rock and roll is dying, baby.
|
I wanna see some fun !
|
I wanna see some hanging out !
|
I wanna see my people
|

|

|
Naked woman, out of doors,
|
I don't care how loud you snore.
|
Sun goin' down, way out on the sea,
|
Here she comes, little girl, gonna set me free.

|
Now when I got home,
|
I heard my daddy say,
|
|
You want a little piece ?
|
Do you want a little peace ?
|
Do you want a little soul ?
|
Do you want a little soul ?
|
|
I could not help myself, I could not help myself,
|

|
|
We had some good times.
|
We had a few good times.
|
But
|
Those good little times - you know where they are ?
|
They're absolutely, positively under the ground.
|
And
|
As long as I got breath, the death of rock
|
Is the death of me,
|
And rock is dead
|
Well, we're dead... alright... yeah !...
|
|
Rock Is Dead
