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
