Written by: lenny kravitz You think you're on top of the world But you know it Runnin' round with diamond rings And coke spoons that are overflowin' Rock an roll is dead But all the money in the world Can't buy you from the place you're going to Rock an roll is dead Rock an roll is dead Rock an roll is dead You can't even sing or play an instrument So you just scream instead You're living for an image So you got five hundred women in your bed Rock an roll is dead But it's real hard to be yourself When you're living with those demons In your head Rock an roll is dead Rock an roll is dead Rock an roll is dead
