Lyrics
In this modern age congress just passed a bill
To protect the rights of all our kids
They gonna level control on rock 'n roll
And all the damage in the past it did
But the thing that concerns me is the growing death rate
Of all of our rock 'n roll stars
And it seems if they can't keep us in the crowd
They're gonna try to put us behind bars
They say
Rock 'n roll will make you rant and rave
It'll send you to an early grave
But compared to what's left, woo
What a lovely way to go
See I've called you here just to bitch, bitch, bitch
About the noise and words and the fear
And if you try to talk right it gets you into fights
Lord, you know to me, that seems so unreal
That people talk about doing what's right for you
Not necessarily what's right for them
And it seems a damn shame that folks are so lame
That all they can do is condemn
They say
Rock 'n roll will make you rant and rave
It'll send you to an early grave
But compared to what's left, woo
What a lovely way to go
What a lovely way to go
What a lovely way to go
Lord, got me singing
Heard me saying
Rock 'n roll will make you rant and rave
It'll send you to an early grave
But compared to what's left, woo
What a lovely way to go
They say
Rock 'n roll will make you rant and rave
(It's the truth)
It'll send you to an early grave
But compared to what's left
What a lovely way to go
That's right
That's right
That's right
That's right
That's right
