Mott - Career (no Such Thing As Rock 'n' Roll) lyrics

(nigel benjamin/morgan fisher) There's no such thing as me or you Just the feeling someone had When they saw shadows on the wall There's no such thing as old or new 'cause everything's been said and done before There's no such thing as rock and roll No such thing as growing old When the picture starts to fade You'll hear the clowns and watch them cry The great mistakes they've made When the lights have all gone down (down, down, down) You'll marvel at the speed that things turn round There's no such thing as rock and roll No such thing as growing old Things are way beyond control I've been told Try to cut you down Take your soul away Cut you down Try to break your heart Take your soul away Break your heart If you make it to the end You'll find you didn't try that hard It wasn't such a strain And all those d**h defying deeds Weren't necessary It's really such a shame 'cause all i've got is rock and roll All i'll get is growing old Things are way beyond control And i've been told Try to cut you down (cut you down) Take your soul away Cut you down Try to break your heart (break your heart) Take your soul away Break your heart Try to cut you down (cut you down) Take your soul away Cut you down
