Classic Rot Lyrics - Singles - Dramarama

What are they doing here? 

Something so familiar to my ears 

Well, they move like 

Ancient science fiction on the vacuum screen 

And they sing of love and loneliness 

And different shades of green 

Drownin' in a lake of tears 

Seems like they've been doing it for years 

Ringing in my ears 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Well, we listen on in silence, memorizing line and verse 

Though the poetry is awful and the imagery is worse 

Doesn't it seem absurd? 

Little children learning every single word 

And they mimic words and phrases 

Of a hundred years ago 

And observe a moments silence 

For the guy who wrote, "Hey Joe" 

Matthew said it best at Janes 

Though the maidens gone, her innocence remains 

We sing on in chains 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Well, I'm laughing at the waitress 

And they're starving in the street 

And they're charging more for wonder 

And they're burning fields of wheat 

Am I crazy, was it really only 20 years ago? 

Or more or less, I'm not so sure 

Raised on Classic Rock 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da 

Bob ba da bop ba da ba da
