Who is buying records & where are the CD's?
Why buy the music when you can steal it all for free?
When the 20th can't catch up with the 21st Century

And you've sold your soul & they've swallowed you whole
It's the death of Rock-N-Roll
When they've carted you off into the old peoples home
It's the death of Rock-N-Roll

You think the kids would know their history
Glued to their iPhones not paying attention to TV
The news is over their heads & Ziggy Stardust is dead
Enter the 21st Century

And when you've dug a hole & they've swallowed you whole
It's the death of Rock-N-Roll
When they've carted you off into the old peoples home
It's the death of Rock-N-Roll

It's down to the last of the famous in the industry
To bring out the truth with wit & irony but
They've heard your moans from the kings throne
And there's no sympathy

And you've sold your soul & they've swallowed you whole
It's the death of Rock-N-Roll &
When you've lost your faith by playing it safe
It's the death of Rock-N-Roll

The death of Rock-N-Roll, the death
