They don't play the game no more
   Rock n' roll is dead and buried
 No they don't swing that way no more
   Rock 'n roll is dead and buried 

 Nobody sits in the corner no more
 Who's gonna pick up the beat up guitar
 We need the old man playing the banjo
 The old man breathing the blues harp 

 What do you give
 What is it you get back
 When you're dancing to the readymade music
 What do you give
 What is it you get back
 Goin' 'bout it the way you'll lose it
 All for nothing for all
 And it's all for nothing for all 

 Who's gonna fill the tray with love
   When rock and roll lies six feet under
 Who's gonna carry on with the show
   When there's no more sound of thunder 

 Nothing fits like a glove anymore
 Nobody cares if it's leather or plastic
 Pretty sad but it's all about...
 Pretty blond baby getting really gymnastic
