Ain't Rock 'N' Roll

The Hawkins

You’ve got to give it to the boys and the girls in the back
Buying ammo for their next attack
The only thing they'll get for tonight is a fuck or a fight
Or even both if they're lucky enough
You’ve got to give it to the ones on the billboard signs
With lines like: It's a good thing with good things, right?
When you think that it should say: Here's a really stupid way
Of reaching out your hand and grab the whole fucking crowd

But this ain't rock & roll
This is capitalism
By the feet of your ambition it ain't rock & roll
Only capitalism
But by the feet of my ambition there is rock & roll

You’ve got to give it to the ones that are waterproof
Telling everyone else to let loose
But if you stand in the way they confuse and dismay, pointing fingers
Make you look like a fool
And you, you’ve got to give it us with the golden pants
Screaming for equality, getting fans
I say we go to the mirror with something to tell
Put eight fingers down and go fuck yourself

But this ain't rock & roll
This is capitalism
By the feet of your ambition it ain't rock & roll
Only capitalism
But by my feet I only have my rock & roll

So you sold your soul to the reptile brain and alcohol
So you sold your soul to the loneliness of those without rock & roll
