Rock Is Dead

All simple monkeys with alien babies
Amphetamines for boys and crucifixes for ladies
Sampled and soulless, worldwide and real webbed
Sell all the living for more safer dead

Anything to belong
Anything to belong

Rock it's deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope
Is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests
And put them to bed

God is in the TV

Rock, la, la, la, la, la, laow
Rock, la, la, la, la, laow
Rock, la, la, la, la, la, laow
Rock, la, la, la, la, laow

1,000 mothers are praying for it
We're so full of hope and
So full of shit
Build a new god to medicate and to ape
Sell us ersatz dressed up and real fake

Anything to belong
Anything to belong

Rock it's deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope
Is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests
And put them to bed

God is in the TV

Rock, la, la, la, la, la, laow
Rock, la, la, la, la, laow
Rock, la, la, la, la, la, laow
Rock, la, la, la, la, laow

La, la, la, la, la, laow
La, la, la, la, laow
La, la, la, la, la, laow
La, la, la, la, laow

Rock it's deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope
Is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests
And put them to bed

Rock, rock, it's deader than dead
Shock, shock, is all in your head
Your sex and your dope
Is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests
And put them to bed
