We're sick and tired of mediocrity
That's pushed around on every chance
A shiny bubble of supremacy
And masses clap while in a trance
You say that change
Is copy what's on the radio
You must be joking when you
Turn around, smile and tell me
Rock is dead
You lose your soul in chasing numbers
Like chasing shadows in the dark
Degrade a generation's consciousness
In the name of your forsaken god
Don't even try to hide it
Makes such a perfect sense now
When hungry vultures like you
Scream into my face and tell me
Rock is dead
Will you sing along tonight with me
Rock n' roll is here to stay
I don't see a reason to explain
You won't see the reason why
Rock is dead
