Rock and Roll Heaven's Gate

It didn't happen for you

No one wants to hear the truth

Coming from three political queers

Plucking the punk rock bloom

So you break up the band

And leave us all in tow

Yeah, now we gotta figure out

Where to go

I caught it at a rave

Did it give you vaccination?

I saw it on my T.V. 

Did it lighten up your load?

And every fucking D.J. 

Did you feel affiliated

Is telling me I'm free

Like you really had a home?

I'm free to be a loser

Were the ticket prices too high?

I'm free to be a trend

Were the lights too bright?

I'm free to be a backlash over and over and over again

Was it all a bunch of hype?

You say, "I'm losing inspiration

One band at a time

'Cause I gotta know there's someone, somewhere, out there

Singing for our side"

Where I come up, we share the mortar and the glue

And what we build together, we share that too

And the wind may come, and the rain may fall

But we stand together or we don't stand at all

And I say, where are you going to now

Now that the goings gone? (Where you going to now?)

So here's to your survival

And swimming up the stream

Crossing over one dam after another

Until we get to Rock and Roll Heaven's gate

I caught it at a rave

Did it give you vaccination?

I saw it on the T.V. 

Did it lighten up your load?

And every fucking D.J. 

Did you feel affiliated

Is telling me I'm free

Like you really had a home?

Yeah, free to be a loser

Were the ticket prices too high?

I'm free to be a trend

Were the lights too bright?

I'm free to be a backlash over and over

Until I get to Rock and Roll Heaven's gate
