Rock N Roll Is Dead

Far and above the sun runs the horizon.
In endless cycles night persues the hound.
You might believe that life is such a circle
and what has gone before will come back round.

Well you can kid yourself...
but rock and roll is dead, and you killed it.
Rock n roll is dead, hear the toll.
Rock and roll is dead, can you hear it?
Rock n roll et mort. Vive rock n roll!

The fashion world is always playing tennis.
One year is brown the next returns to black.
You might believe that music has a season
and every twenty years the dawn is back.

Well you can kid yourself...
but rock and roll is dead, and you killed it.
Rock n roll is dead, hear the toll.
Rock and roll is dead, can you hear it?
Rock n roll et mort. Vive rock n roll!

(solo)

In distant lands a man sits on a mountain.
He is the child of men who've gone before.
And he believes that death is just a spiral
where every generation is reborn.

Well he can kid himself...
but rock and roll is dead, and you killed it.
Rock n roll is dead, hear the toll.
Rock and roll is dead, can you hear it?
Rock n roll et mort. Vive rock n roll!
