'79: Rock'n'Roll Will Ruin Your Life |
«Listen up, kid» Mama said «I'm gonna make you scream |
When I take you backstage behind that rock’n’roll dream |
You think it’s all money, controlled substances |
P-p-premarital sex and bizarre dances |
You think it’s all noise, a vast circus of fun |
Well I wouldn’t say this to just anyone |
Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
Like your old no-goodnik dad |
Kill your soul and kill your wife |
Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
And make you sad |
And I mean sad" |
You laugh now maybe (ha!) but wait till you hear |
I’ve got no use for groupies, too shy and too queer |
The truth about drugs? |
Well, I can’t afford those |
Cause a lot of my money flew up the circus' nose |
And all that noise gave me hyperacusis |
So turn this record down or it’ll happen to you, sis |
Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
Like your old no-goodnik dad |
Kill your soul and kill your wife |
Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
And make you sad |
And I mean sad |
Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
Like your old no-goodnik dad |
Kill your soul and kill your wife |
Rock’n’roll will ruin your life |
And make you sad |
