The Death Of Rock 'n' Roll Lyrics - Initiation - Todd Rundgren

Just the other day I got a call from a friend 

"I heard what you been playin' and I think it's a sin 

Why can't you make a living like the rest of the boys 

Instead of fillin' your head with all that synthesized noise?" 

Jackals wait nearby, watching rock and roll die 

And no one dared to help it 

Vultures fill the sky 

I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free 

But we all got sold 

It must be the Death of Rock and Roll 

The critics got together and they started a game 

You get your records for nothing 

and you call each other names 

Things got out of hand and somebody got sore 

Now we're all tuning up for the Rock and Roll War 

Time to take up sides, helping rock and roll die 

Pick up your check at the window 

No one left to cry 

I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free 

But we all got sold 

It must be the Death of Rock and Roll 

Nobody paid, nobody played, nobody stayed 

Just my lonely guitar 

Nobody paid, nobody stayed, nobody played 

Just my lonely guitar
