rock n' roll is dead (she said)
from my newst album: 'long way home'
Story behind the song
listen to the girl
Lyrics
lyin' there in the middle of the street
was the dead bloated corpse of MTV
right beside it was the body of the king
and all the people kept comin' to see
but no one said a thing
'til a little girl stepped up and started to sing
rock n' roll is dead, she said
just get along
rock n' roll is dead, she said
now get back home
lyin' there in the middle of the street
was everything that i though i believed
but no one ever taught me how to sing
oh, and as the peopel went home
it seemed to me
that i could finally breathe
rock n' roll is dead, she said
just get along
rock n' roll is dead, she said
now get back home
lyin' there in the middle of the street
was somethin' that i though i'd never see
all those empty suits were weeping
tore their clothes and gnashed their teeth
they put ash in their hair
and the little girl just kept singing
rock n' roll is dead, she said
just get along
rock n' roll is dead, she said
now get back home
