lyrics
A castaway at sea
It’s hazy and I’m weak
I'm looking for a way
To get back in your warm embrace
I call you by your name
But I’m here all alone
Singing the same old song
What key is this again?
Chorus
It’s only Rock and Rock and Roll
But I hate it
Hate it
The cymbals and guitars
I hate it
Hate it
(It’s so loud)
I used to make you proud
There used to be a crowd
But now we’re all alone
Behind closed doors
Making beats in our bedrooms
I gave myself to you
I shoulda held back
Now you’re just a mist
And now there's no more hits
Chorus
It’s only Rock and Rock and Roll
But I hate it
Hate it
The kick drum and the bass
I hate it
Hate it
The velvet and velour
I hate it
Hate it
The vintage amplifiers
I hate it
Hate it
Setting the hotel room on fire
I hate it
Hate it
Get rid the manager
I hate it
Hate it
The singer is a star
I hate it
What is that - A guitar?
(Put it in a museum)
What is that - A bass guitar?
(Put in a museum)
What are all those knobs?
(Put it in a museum)
Turn that racket down
(Put it in a museum)
What is that a ringing in my ears
Like the perpetual collapse of a society
Hellbent on the liquefaction
Of our fragile minds
(Put it in a museum)
Sex? YES
Drugs? SURE
Rock and Roll? NO!
(Put it in a museum)
We want your soul
(Put it in a museum)
What is this - A song?
(Put it in a museum)

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
