Rock​´​n Roll is dead

lyrics

Rock 'n' Roll is dead

I cut my hair, I cut my nails, I wash my clothes, I get a job
I brush my hair, I shine my shoes, clean up the dirt, iron my shirt
Is Rock'n'Roll now dead?

I always was kinda lonely guy
I didn't care much 'bout myself, didn't care ´bout my style
Living for the moment like there is no tomorrow
Didn't need much money, didn't know any sorrows
And now you're telling me it's time to move on
Deep in my heart I always knew this would come
You tell me if I want you to stay
There´re a few things I would have to change

When I listen to my baby good ol' Rock'n'Roll
It will never be the same as it was before
You keep complaining that you can't stand the noise
You don't share my love, you leave me no choice

I cut my hair, I clean the bath, bring down the trash, throw away my stuff
I get new clothes, I learn to cook, drink no more beer, I read your book
I get a job, I like your friends, visit your Mom, talk to your Dad
Drink no more beer, I quit to smoke, no more TV, no wine for me

And I swear by the grave of my grandmother
That I will never in my life again
Will forget the day we met or your birthday . . .
Rock'n'Roll is dead!

We got along quite well for quite a long time
I fit myself into that new life of mine
I get up early and I come back late at night
Just to please you, to make everything right
And now you tell me that it's time to move on
You said you always knew that would come
You need some freedom, you would need some excitement
Apart from that, you would have a new boyfriend

Then it hit's my like a rock and my guts start to roll
I realize that I have met that guy before
There's one peculiar fact that I just can't stand:
He's singer in a fucking boy group band

I cut my hair, you messed around, I got to work, you messed around
I drink some beer, you leave the door, drink some more beer, you drive away
Watch some TV, drink some more beer, I get LP AC/DC
I turn it up, drink some more beer, I start to jump, drink some more beer!
