lyrics

The Dream is Dead: Rock and Roll.
We made a world without a soul.
All my friends are old and gray.
They say 'it's better to burn out than to fade away'.
The Dream is Dead.

Punk Rock kids in the Lower Haight:
same old shit, a different date.
Same old haircuts, same old shoes,
same addictions, same tattoos.
The Dream is Dead.

Fillmore West takes 70%:
Every chord is money spent.
The band's in tune, but broke and sad.
Shouldn'ta never listened to mom and dad.
The Dream is Dead.

(but I've got some good news!)

There's a perfect world inside the box!
With perky nipples, and majestic cocks!
There's a revolution on every page,
with catered luncheons and a comfortable wage.
The Dream is Dead.

My Les Paul is acid aged.
An instant classic™ as I hit the stage-
Like Jimmy Paige in '72.
there's nothing new- it's all re-issue.
The Dream is Dead.
The Dream is Dead.
The Dream is Dead.
