lyrics
Johnny was a singer in a local band in town
it’s enough to make a living but not enough to fill his ego up.
He told the boys, now or never, you decide.
We can play the same old songs, or try to make the grade and change our lives.
It was a long journey and the band debuted again,
many people were invited, and many people left before the end,
Johnny kept trying over and over again,
but he never realized that fame is harder to achieve these days.
Hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
We don’t need guitars, we have to rehearse a new dance.
After quite a long time they decided to break up
and would never play for money, the only thing they’d play for would be fun.
Nobody told them, it was easy to succeed, when success is not important
and playing your guitar is all you need...
Hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
We don’t need guitars, we have to rehearse a new dance.
The dream is over, welcome to reality, psychedelic makes me happy,
Lucy in the Sky’s waiting for me.
Nobody told them, it was easy to succeed, when success is not important
and playing your guitar is all you need...
Hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
We don’t need guitars, we have to rehearse a new dance.
Hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
hey hey, rock and roll is dead,
We don’t need guitars, we have to rehearse a new dance.
