lyrics

I keep hearing that rock and roll is dead. I've read in the paper, it's on the billboards it's what the man on the TV says. We don't need no guitars or no bass drums we can bury them in the ground. We can all be DJ's and play folk songs and fill the world with some pretty sounds. Rock and roll is dead. We've got it so easy it's taken care of, just stare into the pretty lights. We've all got our cell phones and our charge cards and free access to the porno sites. We are so distracted we don't see them robbing us all blind, but I don't hear no yelling or no screaming and that is a tell tell sign. Rock and roll is dead.

We'll gather torches and head down to the sacred ground. Stand in a circle spill our blood and watch the sun go down. We'll ask the spirits to raise you back from the grave. Build you an altar and put you back in your rightful place.
