April Wine - Rock And Roll Is A Vicious Game lyrics

He rocked his way through yesterday, Lord, he thought he had a chance He played guitar and wrote some tunes, of love and romance He did his share of travelin', like a dog without a home A fugitive who would rather give, a star that never shone Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a shame? No-one ever warned the boy Rock 'n' Roll is a vicious game, oh, yeah He said he wouldn't get led around, or caught up in the games Or, end up in a gallery, of faces with no names And, Rock 'n' Roll was in his soul, and music was a friend He recorded a song that made us sing along, and he was on the road again Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a shame? No-one ever warned the boy Rock 'n' Roll is a vicious game, oh-oh, oh, yeah, oh-oh Stage fright, ooh, and long black limousines He's pushing himself a way too hard, or so it seems He opened up his heart to us, he gave us what he could We sympathized and harmonized, he made us all feel good But, it's funny how those things can change, and time can pa** us by Songs that moved us so easily, no longer make us cry Now, isn't it a pity? Isn't it a shame? No-one ever warned the boy Rock 'n' Roll is a vicious game, oh-oh, oh Oh, yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah My-my-my, Rock 'n' Roll is a vicious game, yeah Rock 'n' Roll, Rock 'n' Roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
