You think you're on the 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

Rock and roll is dead

Rock and roll is dead



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

Deamons in your head



Rock and roll is dead

Rock and roll is dead

Rock and roll is dead
