lyrics
Today you’re gonna say what it is now
That keeps kids grooving uncontrolled
Today you’re gonna play like it’s cool now
To prove punk spirit’s bought and sold
And if you’re asking me
Straight through it all I can see
Cuz I don’t need a hand, with the words now
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
Today I’m gonna stay tried and true now
Despite your offers, green but cold.
Today I gravitate to the new now
And leave my language for the molds
And if you’re asking me
Straight through it I want to be
Cuz I can bet my hand on the house now
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
When it’s all been said
You find you’re in the red.
When it’s all been said
Your ways are always dead.
When it’s all been done
The winners always won
When it’s all been done
I’ll take my songs and run run run
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
Everyone knows now
The kids hold the key
Since you shot rock n roll, but that’s fine by me.
That keeps kids grooving uncontrolled
Today you’re gonna play like it’s cool now
To prove punk spirit’s bought and sold
And if you’re asking me
Straight through it all I can see
Cuz I don’t need a hand, with the words now
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
Today I’m gonna stay tried and true now
Despite your offers, green but cold.
Today I gravitate to the new now
And leave my language for the molds
And if you’re asking me
Straight through it I want to be
Cuz I can bet my hand on the house now
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
When it’s all been said
You find you’re in the red.
When it’s all been said
Your ways are always dead.
When it’s all been done
The winners always won
When it’s all been done
I’ll take my songs and run run run
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
Everyone knows now
The kids hold the key
Since you shot rock n roll, but that’s fine by me.
