Rock Is Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The only way I can feel okay
Turn it up, let the music save me
If I need to ease my pain
When everyone says my world is changing
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
[Chorus]
If I make sound, it better be loud 'till my voice is blowing out
What if one day everything changed?
Will these words have any use to me?
I didn't make it here to let anyone drag me down
If I make sound, it better be loud
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
[Verse 2]
So you don't understand a word I say
Either way, it's probably worth listening
If this whole thing's fading away
You better know it's going down swinging
The only way I can feel okay
Turn it up, let the music save me
If I need to ease my pain
When everyone says my world is changing
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
[Chorus]
If I make sound, it better be loud 'till my voice is blowing out
What if one day everything changed?
Will these words have any use to me?
I didn't make it here to let anyone drag me down
If I make sound, it better be loud
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
[Verse 2]
So you don't understand a word I say
Either way, it's probably worth listening
If this whole thing's fading away
You better know it's going down swinging
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
[Chorus]
If I make sound, it better be loud 'till my voice is blowing out
What if one day everything changed?
Will these words have any use to me?
I didn't make it here to let anyone drag me down
If I make sound, it better be loud
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
[Build-Up]
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
Turn this riff up!
[Chorus]
If I make sound, it better be loud 'till my voice is blowing out
What if one day everything changed?
Will these words have any use to me?
I didn't make it here to let anyone drag me down
If I make sound, it better be loud
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
I'd rather be deaf, I'd rather be dead
Then bored out of my mind
[Chorus]
If I make sound, it better be loud 'till my voice is blowing out
What if one day everything changed?
Will these words have any use to me?
I didn't make it here to let anyone drag me down
If I make sound, it better be loud
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
[Build-Up]
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
Turn this riff up!
[Chorus]
If I make sound, it better be loud 'till my voice is blowing out
What if one day everything changed?
Will these words have any use to me?
I didn't make it here to let anyone drag me down
If I make sound, it better be loud
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
[Outro]
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
If rock 'n' roll's dead, you can kill me right now
