Lyrics

Alice is a drag queen
Boy is somewhere in between
Other bands are looking mean
Me, I'm trying to stay clean
I don't dig the radio
I hate what the charts spit
Rock and roll may not be dead
But it's getting sick
All over the world
This jockey's talking sane
And every time they play us
I come wonder why I came
The Rolling Stones are trillionaires
And flower children pallbearers
Beatles said all you need is love
And then they broke up
River took an overdose
Kurt followed so close
The whole music scene and all the bands
Are pretty comatose
This time last year
People didn't want to hear
They looked at Jesus from afar
They said he's a superstar
Dear John
Who's more popular now?
'Cause I've been listening to Paul's records
And I think he really is dead
It's 1994
The spirit has become a bore
Who's in power now?
I think I'll turn on the TV
The man on the news says
Japan is gonna beat us
We shot all our dreamers
And there's no one left to lead us
We need a solution
We need salvation
So they sent some people to the moon
To gather information
They brought back a big bag of rocks
It only cost thirteen billion buckaroos
They must be some really nice rocks
Hey, come on in, Phil
Here you are
Let's make Larry smile
You think it's such a sad thing
When you see a fallen king
Then you find out they are only princes to begin with
Everybody has to choose
Whether they will win or lose
Follow God or sing the blues
And who they're gonna sin with
What's the mess the world is in?
I wonder who began it
Don't ask me
I'm only visiting the planet
This world is not my home
I'm just passing through
