(Anderson/Meyer)
Growing up it take a lotta time
First you learn the music then you learn the rhyme
Melody is what you need when you`re down
Harmony the world goes `round and `round
Radio said rock `n` roll is dead
To my room I panicked and fled
It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright
Elvis, Chuck `n` Jerry got me through the long, long night
Gotta pull on my jeans and my dancing shoes
I`m going out and sing some rhythm `n` blues
Rock `n` roll is the name of the game
And when it takes me over things ain`t the same
Lotsa times we played for free
We had a taste we had a need
Twelve bar blues in four bar time
Beautiful words that just fell in rhyme
Radio said rock `n` roll is dead
They`re going insane they must be out of their head
Radio said rock `n` roll is dead
But I don`t care what the radio said
You will hear the banshee sing
The day you lose that shuffle `n` swing
You will hear the death bell toll
The day you lose that rock `n` roll
Radio said rock `n` roll is dead
To my room I panicked and fled
It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright
Elvis, Chuck `n` Jerry got me through the long, long night
Radio said rock `n` roll is dead
They`re going insane they must be out of their head
Radio said rock `n` roll is dead
But I don`t care, he don`t care, what the radio said
