about

Career-opening salvo, manifesto, etc.—words and music I am hereby forced to live by.

lyrics

Say you like my melodies
But you will never get your hands on me
The more I see 'bout how things are done,
The less I want from you or anyone
Thanks to you
I almost lost my pure love for rock and roll

First you start by breaking the rules,
Then someone's money turns you into fools
Smash things up, yes, you should still do,
But there will never be another Who
Say your prayers when someone adds on
The false maturity of Mellotron
Once macabre
Now it's the turtleneck of rock and roll

To be a parasite on the rich:
Now that is something that's still worth shooting for

First you think you have to rebel
You don't even have to do it well
Then you find that rebellion
Is not convincing as it's all been done
So there's nothing new anymore?
Well, I still have something I wake up for
So the boardroom killed rock and roll?
But I am music and that's all I know
