Well, the graveyard shifted back in '55

The rebel rousers brought the threat to life

You were just a sparkle in your daddy's eye

Elvis joined the army and buddy holly died

Every eleven years

The dam breaks from our tears

The next endagered species fades away

and disappears

It disappears

Reputation it preceded you

It's all about the evil that good men do

Corporations got mind control

The degeneration of rock n' roll

66' we got tragically hip

The kiss of judas blessed the politics

'77 no day at the beach

Rude awakening of the nouveau riche

Every eleven years

The dam breaks from our tears

The next endagered species fades away

and disappears

We disappear

Reputation it preceded you

It's all about the evil that good men do

Corporations got mind control

The degeneration of rock n' roll

God is good but heaven can wait

Make your cash while the greed is great

Corporations got mind control

The degeneration of rock' n roll

Now it's way past '88

No one dares to deviate

Find a cause the guilt is great

Intelligence is gone

I've got a new years resolution

Start a revolution for rock' n roll

Reputation it preceded you

It's all about the evil that good men do

Corporations got mind control

The degeneration of rock n' roll

The degeneration of rock n' roll

The degeneration of rock n' roll

Degeneration

Degenerate, degenerate

The degeneration of rock n' roll
