about

The Debut banger from Sweet Electric, A rock rapping high energy beast about the old guard being replaced by the new. Rock N Roll is Dead!

lyrics

Rock N Roll is deadI’m sorry I just can’t hear it
If you got something to say why don’t you just say it
I didn’t mean to be controversial
As long as we’re alive Rock n roll will never die
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing
And expecting a different result

The system is broken
But I keep on going
They say that my ego
Is all that is stopping
Me from all the glory
That my talent promises
You know I’m money
So Where do I sign

There’s millions of rockers
They lack inspiration
They put on their records
That radio stations
Have spun half to death
They hope there still a breath
Of Originality
Yappity Everyone’s dying

Their Mouths are moving
But they’re saying nothing
I’m not a God or a savour
but I know my words can be twisted
To change ya
A perception of danger
But still they don’t pay ya
I believe it’s time for a change believe it

This city is burning down
It’s all that you know
The king is dead
So get off the throne
Somebody’s flying the flag
But nobody knows
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I’m taking your bone

I am not claiming
That I am the greatest
The next generation
I’m sure they will take it
Much further than any
Of the ageing fossils
That currently hold on to
The flame they need to let go

The old guard is dead
The reason that rock isn’t
Trending no more
Is coz they closed the door
On the new breed
To top up their pensions
And keep on releasing
Renditions of nothing

The bastards are laughing
They’re overcharging
So tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me, No ?
Then why don’t you get off your throne
And take off your crown and pass it on to somebody new

This city is burning down
It’s all that you know
The king is dead
So get off the throne
Somebody’s flying the flag
But nobody knows
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I’m taking your bone

I’m not suggesting
That we should be changing
The definition
Of what rock n roll ever was
No what I am saying
We take inspiration
And paint a new picture
For our generation and GO!

This city is burning down
It’s all that you know
The king is dead
So get off the throne
Somebody’s flying the flag
But nobody knows
These dogs are hungry
So shut up I’m taking your bone

I said tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me
No? Then off the throne

I said tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me
No? Then off the throne

I said tell me old man
Are they paying you handsomely
Can you keep up with me
No? Then off the throne

These dogs are hungry
So shut up I’m taking your bone
