It seems that fifty years have come and gone
Since the rise and fall of the radio song
What went wrong?
Need another bottle to save my soul
It's been another dead year for rock and roll
Who says so?
Dead and gone away, it won't be back in this life
But there's no need to whine about it.
Thinning out across the waves
Rock dissolves to pure cosplay
The stage was set for kids to come along
With keytar MIDI'ed and a Moog strapped on
Dead retro
We believe in a life where the pain never ends
Please don't bore me to death with your vampire weekend
Yeah f*ck that
Now we've lost our way
It's killed our sense of real time
With no reason or rhyme about it
And as the nation turned away
Rock devolved to pure cosplay
