Rose Tattoo - The Radio Said Rock 'N' Roll Is Dead lyrics

(Anderson/Meyer) Growing up it take a lotta time First you learn the music then you learn the rhyme Melody is what you need when you're down Harmony the world goes 'round and 'round Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead To my room I panicked and fled It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright Elvis, Chuck 'n' Jerry got me through the long, long night Gotta pull on my jeans and my dancing shoes I'm going out and sing some rhythm 'n' blues Rock 'n' roll is the name of the game And when it takes me over things ain't the same Lotsa times we played for free We had a taste we had a need Twelve bar blues in four bar time Beautiful words that just fell in rhyme Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead They're going insane they must be out of their head Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead But I don't care what the radio said You will hear the banshee sing The day you lose that shuffle 'n' swing You will hear the d**h bell toll The day you lose that rock 'n' roll Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead To my room I panicked and fled It wrecked my mind and filled me with fright Elvis, Chuck 'n' Jerry got me through the long, long night Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead They're going insane they must be out of their head Radio said rock 'n' roll is dead But I don't care, he don't care, what the radio said
