You think you're on top of the world
But you know it's really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin
Rock and roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock and roll is dead (x3)
You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Rock and roll is dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons
In your head
Rock and roll is dead (x3)
