Come on down to the city at night And see how the people cry Wish away the time to the rhythm and rhyme Of a lifeless lullaby
And everybody wants for something Everybody longs for more Swimming to the land of the shimmering sand But we drowned just off the shore
All these voices sound the same All that changes is the name
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul So many sheltered shades of grey I'm not about about to mourn the death of rock'n'roll Cast your broken shackles away
And sing like you mean it Sing like you're feeling something
Passing the hours in the glittering towers When the cracks begin to thread Toppeling down on top of the town They shatter in a sea of red
All these voices sound the same All that changes is the name
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul So many sheltered shades of grey I'm not about about to mourn the death of rock'n'roll Cast your broken shackles away
Everybody wants for something Everybody wants for more...
All these voices sound the same All that changes is the name
And I just wanna hear some music with some soul So many sheltered shades of grey I'm not about about to mourn the death of rock'n'roll Cast your broken shackles away
