Rock 'n' Roles
(专辑: Another Year Of The Same Old Shit - 1984)
Stripped of life... Thirty years of the
same old shit; (of rock and roll ignorance) of music, of money of hit after hit... from blue swede shoes and back again different era same old game. They changed it's name once or twice, dressed if different, and upped the
price and if any question, all a
lie (tell them Elvis never died) tell them Johnny Rotten never died. and what if your revolution starts, everybody will be to busy watching the
charts Government-sponsored rebellion: BUY IT! A
BIT MORE PRODUCT TO KEEP US QUITE It's one more method of keeping us in line it's one more fashion it's called punk this time we're shouting loud but we're facing a
wall of sexist, drugged up, rock and roll. [Spoken word piece:] Meanwhile the
industry we call rock and roll carry's on growing buying up our means of communication, watching and waiting they've got the
check books in the
one hand and the
safe, acceptable, finished packaged product in the
other. CONTRACTS! CON-TRICKS! I
don't want to be apart of that rock and roll circus I
don't want to be a
passive, well-trained animal or a
painted clown because as we're clowning about in that circus this planet is being destroyed, bit, by bit, by bit and rock and roll is helping to kill it. It's time to kick away the
props that hold up the
power structures It's time to create something different, it's time to change! Rock and roll won't change a
thing, it's the
same institution no-matter what you sing!
