Lyrics

Only Rock and Roll Will Never Die
(Flinn)

Don't look back, he's gaining on you Jack
Can't get away from that man in black
You might feel fine, but when it's your time
What'cha gonna do?

You can live on kale, eat it by the bale
Workout until your muscles cry.
Grow your veggies hydroponic,
Get a full colonic,
But only rock-and-roll will never die

You can save all your money,
Keep your balance sheet sunny,
Get rich with schemes so sly,
But say it out loud, no pockets in a shroud
And only rock-and-roll will never die

Take some time to realize
Better make it more than a minute
The party's over, the parade's gone by
And you're no longer in it

You can wear skinny jeans,
Shop with the teens
Keep your belly just as thin as your tie
Dress in black to stay hip while those Levis slip
But only rock-and-roll will never die

You can pierce your nose,
Put rings on your toes
Follow all the trends of the day
But it's set in stone, there's a time you'll be gone
'Cause only rock-and-roll is here to stay

Time keeps slipping away
Forget about the eye on the sparrow
Never know when it's your time to go
To make way for tomorrow

You can await the day of doom in your panic room,
Live for years on food that's freeze dried
But despite all your guns, in the long run
Only rock-and-roll will survive

Way past thirty
And you're still driving dirty
Just beggin' for the Reaper's scythe
But cautious or crazy, your outcome's not hazy
'Cause only rock-and-roll will never die

Keep your calories few,
Starve yourself till you're blue,
Watch your weight with an eagle eye
But after you're gone, life will just carry on
And only rock-and-roll will never die
