| Alice is a drag queen, Bowie’s somewhere in between
|
| Other bands are looking mean, me, I’m trying to stay clean
|
| I don’t dig the radio, I hate what the charts pick
|
| Rock and roll may not be dead, but it’s getting sick
|
| All over the world disc jockeys sound the same
|
| And every town I play is like the one from where I came
|
| The Rolling Stones are millionaires, flower children pallbearers
|
| Beatles said All you need is love, and then they broke up
|
| Jimi took an overdose, Janis followed so close
|
| The whole music scene and all the bands are pretty comatose
|
| This time last year, people didn’t wanna hear
|
| They looked at Jesus from afar, this year he’s a superstar
|
| Dear John, who’s more popular now?
|
| I’ve been listening to some of Paul’s records
|
| Sometimes I think he really is dead
|
| It’s 1973, I wonder who we’re gonna see
|
| Who’s in power now? |
| Think I’ll turn on my TV
|
| The man on the news said China’s gonna beat us
|
| We shot all our dreamers, there’s no one left to lead us
|
| We need a solution, we need salvation
|
| Let’s send some people to the moon and gather information
|
| They brought back a big bag of rocks
|
| Only cost thirteen billion. |
| Must be nice rocks
|
| You think it’s such a sad thing when you see a fallen king
|
| Then you find out they’re only princes to begin with
|
| And everybody has to choose whether they will win or lose
|
| Follow God or sing the blues, and who they’re gonna sin with
|
| What a mess the world is in, I wonder who began it
|
| Don’t ask me, I’m only visiting this planet |
