Michael Kiske Lyrics
"Rock 'n' Roll's Dead"

Am I right or am I wrong?

Do I have to leave or do I belong - here?

I always thought the things I do are strong

I'm sorry for that all I got is this song - here!

Got nothing to lose, lost all my faith in it

If that's the way it is I think I don't fit

All the fire inside my chest was heading at the wrong address

I wasted years, I wasted tears

But all I had was loneliness

There's no more blue inside of me

I know what's worth it and what's not

I won't throw my best in front of thieves

'Cause pain is what I got

I quit - with everything

I never wanted to be part of me

I quit - they're tryin' to press my heart down

Closer to the ground now

I quit - with everything

I never wanted to be controlling me

I quit - and it feels so bad inside

That rock 'n roll's dead!

Does anybody out there hear my cry?

Does anybody out there care if I die inside? (cause I die)

Something has left the house I see!

And something came in

That makes me leave tonight!

Yes, Charlie Brown has finally left the field

But I'm sure that he's still never giving yield!

(He fights his own fight)

Raw people, they rule the world

There's no sense for the silent world

Their symphony sounds oh so bad

And everyone joins in to that

You're right I'm down, oh I feel down

But I don't think I've lost like you

'Cause everything that I once had I still have,

Yes I do!

I quit - with everything

I never wanted to be part of me

I quit - they're tryin' to press my heart down

Closer to the ground now

I quit - with everything

I never wanted to be controlling me

I quit - and it feels so bad inside

That rock 'n roll's dead!

Rock 'n' roll's dead...
