I tried transcendental meditation
I tried trans-atlantic vacations
I tried driving all night with the windows down and the hiss of the tarmac was the only sound
I tried psy-trance festivals
I took as many nangs as I could
I tried taking on some biblical precautions, always wore my robe never had an abortion
But rock and roll is the only thing that makes me feel good
Hheeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy
I tried studying the lessons of love
I tried studying the lust of d**
But I should have known, I should have heard love is a battlefield and the d** don't work
I tried drinking to drown out my past
I could never make it last
I tried standing at iguazu falls and watching all those positive ions fall
But rock and roll is the only thing that makes me feel good
Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy
I tried trancendental meditation
I tried trans-atlantic vacations
I tried dancing through old age and on into d**h with a tattoo of Marlon Brando across my chest
I tried reading The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
But I never could understand it too well
I tried transcending criticism but songs sound better in your head than when you're done with them
But rock and roll is the only thing that makes me feel good
Heyyyyyyyyyyheyyyhey
