Don't take that tone of voice with me Young man Get yourself every Beatles LP today Then compare them to The Band With the heavy songs and tattoos But no melody They've got no melody No melody And I know for all my tears I'll write a song, I'll have a band And when I die, someone will care I hope someone will care I understand it's a business But the cash - who cares? They play co*k-rock, from the '70s That trash, that trash So let's pretend you've got no guilt Steal that tour, put us on the bill Maybe you'll lose some dough Regret the whole deal, but at least You'll be acting real, acting real You'll be acting real And I know for all my tears I'll write a song, I'll have a band And when I die, someone will care I hope someone will care And I know for all my tears I'll write a song, I'll have a band And when I die, someone will care I hope someone will care Everything I hear is a cliché All the chord structures are done But we can write new words Such a pity about his songs The music's alright, but the words are all wrong No one buys records anymore No one loves music anymore No one rocks harder anymore And no one has style anymore No one has style No one has style anymore And I know for all my tears I'll write a song, I'll have a band And when I die, someone will care I hope someone will care And I know for all my tears I'll write a song, I'll have a band And when I die, someone will care I hope someone will care And I know for all my tears I'll write a song, I'll have a band And when I die, someone will care I hope someone will care And when I die, I hope someone will care And when I die, I hope someone will care
