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 'n' roll is dead)
But all the money in the world Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' 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 'n' roll is dead)
But it's real hard to be yourself When you're living with those demons in your head
Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead
Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead
Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead Rock 'n' roll is dead
